::Scrabble finals today... went to school at 7...dunno who say come to school at 7, then herself haven't come.. so we boarded the bus first, waited for our teacher, Mrs Khoo... headed for suntec.. on the way there, I was reading the book I bought some time ago.. Ultimate guide to winning scrabble... tried to commit some of the 3 letter words to memory and some high scoring words.. this is the 3rd time the scrabble final held at Suntec.. the 1st time was at Woodlands Regional Library... Met Jill before the game.. Wearing this nerdy plastic specs... her sis was there too.. checked the pairings.. Montfort and Northland.. her team facing Addy's team.. too bad not mine.. first 3 rounds quite good.. won all 3. vs St Margaret's, Bedok South and Catholic High.. and guess what.. finally won a guy.. its like a curse to me.. when I play with guys, always get bad tiles.. either not a vowel in sight: MKLGNYS or not a constantant in sight :IIIAAAO... and put 2 bingos per game too.. up from my usual one per game.. then a lunch break at 12.. kinda hungry from 3 hours of scrabble..
Addy keep talking about a gal who kept pinching him.. think Addy met Jill already.. then he's so scared.. kept looking around for her.. then ran at first sight of her.. haha.. such a big guy like Addison running away.. haha.. only after the last round did he get within a metre from her.. from running away to talking... Addy made a new friend today..

Jill and Addy
4th round we faced Hwa Chong... we lost 4-1.. only kelvin won... eventually they got first... last round facing Catholic High again... faced Alvin Lim... me primary schoolmate... could barely recognized him.. what luck... had 2 8-letter bingo in a row too.. he put noob then bingoed with windiest with the N from noob... then again with ferments, attached to the T from the previous one.. leading by 100+ and it was only like the 4th move.. haha.. won by 183 spread.. not my highest spread, but my highest against a guy.. hah
had to listen to the essay-writing winners while they tabulate our scores.. the 1st prize winner was this RI guy... came up to read... suppose to use all the words they give you to make an essay.. "I am a NERD! " then everyone started clapping.. haha.. the competition area was just outside carrefour, so I suppose the shoppers inside heard that too? by then lotsa people were looking.. "I am a nerd. But I am not gay. Don't I have feelings for love..." can't remember what he said after that.. but remembered everyone laughing.. oh yea his last phrase.. "If I am not a nerd. What am I?" then the audience replied "Gay!" think the judges chose his piece cause its the most entertaining? haha.. he won the 1st prize by the way.. laughing my head off.. if that was me, I would be embrassed.. but he took it rather well.. but it something different from the previous years.. Dave won last year i think.. but got merit this year..
the resutls came.. reading from the 10th position up... we got 5th, but the trophy still put merit.. they should put 5th or something like that, if not, like the 10th and 5th place the same.. only the top 3 got 3rd, 2nd and 1st on their trophies.. the other 2 teams didn't win.. we could get higher if somebody didn't lose so much... ie, calvin looi... still want to suan me for losing a match in the qualifying rounds.. in the end, he lost 4 out of 5... if he won 2 more matches, maybe we could be the top 3... argh..
