Revoc Chess Genius Tournament @ Putrajaya

I guess it has been some time since i posted something about chess...haha. Thanks to Amin, who is still ever enthusiastic, I participated in this one day event in Putrajaya. It was an event held in conjunction with the ongoing Malaysia Youth Festival 2013. Pretty huge event. I doubt one has the energy to walk through all the booths. There were just too many of them!


A glance at the tournament playing area. There were around 60 players. Time control was 25 minutes, 6 rounds swiss system. Only university students were allowed to take part. Private and local.



The playing area was next to a field.



The arbiter's table. This event was organised by cerdik catur (CM Fadli Zakaria). So I had my 1st cerdik catur rating lol~




Digital clock for a 25 minute game. Pretty nice pieces as well. It was just lovely to play in this tournament


The millennium bridge was visible from the playing area.



Although this is not a totally Open tournament, the playing area however, was indeed pretty open. We were entertained by some nice songs when the games were going on - Love you like a love song; Moves like Jagger; Taylor Swift....Frankly, I love listening to songs when playing chess =)




The competition poster. 



Is this the first time the pairing list and standings were pasted on a tree? For me, yes.



Some activities around the perimeters of the area include the giant bubbles being created. The most interesting of all I suppose.



A glimpse of the Finance Ministry. Wished I had wide lens camera. But the architecture is magnificent.


Yet to receive photos regarding the playing sessions and the prize giving ceremony. But I have to say I had a pretty good luck but failed to kill off the chances today. Came in 7th for the individual and helped UKM to claim runners-up for the team event. Not a bad achievement for me who had been off training for quite sometime. The only disappointment was losing the rematch to UPM player Chek Kin Keuw XD

Nevertheless, thanks to Amin for the hospitality, Yin Cheng, as the 'driver', and Faisal as one of the inspiring team members =)


Here's the link to the website in case you are curious about what stonemaster is hehe


That's all for today. Sigining off,

那些年

每个男生的生活中,是不是都会有一个沈佳宜呢?
那些年错过的大雨,
想起来是温柔的,涩涩的,
遗憾。

傍晚的美达公园

难得,歇一歇,仰望晚霞。

用完晚餐后,独自踱步到美达花园的公园坐在石椅上。的确好久(甚至根本)没有这样子放松自己了。平时匆匆碌碌地过完每一天,就倒头呼噜噜入睡。这回能够一个人散散心,忘掉脑海里的烦恼,还颇有收获的。

住家的公园难免不会有小孩子嬉戏。所以我选择了坐在离他们一些距离的石椅上。公园不怎么大,大约是三个篮球场的面积吧。我的前方正是混合式滑梯,好比一座小堡垒。傍晚六点半的公园还真的不少人。除了嬉戏的小朋友们,就有一对老夫妻就坐在离我不远的地方一起看着书,有说有笑;他们的对面则是孩子们的家长。孩子们都在打羽毛球。只见每人手中就握着一只拍轮流打着唯一的一个羽毛球。没打打几下,球却又落在地上了。不过,他们都没有忧愁,乐在其中。

后来来了一位儿童,白T恤绿短裤,蹦蹦跳跳地与尾随而来的妈妈进入公园。那小孩应该五六岁,个子不小,微胖。大约130公分吧...从妈妈的手中袋子里的食物,就看得出是从夜市回来的吧。操着英文的母子就这样进入了我的视线。小孩子就在那混合滑梯上爬上爬下。一会又到旁边的秋千荡一荡;一会又要求妈妈陪他玩跷跷板,煞是可爱。穿上黄色的人字拖似乎更显示出活力又充满生气的一面。

望着那些小朋友,不禁让我回想起小时候的我。都是由爸爸给我的童年。随着我的童年告一段落,爸爸渐白的发鬓也好像再暗示着我,在我长大之际,爸爸也老了。如果能回到小时候,那是多么美好的一件事。人若能长生不老,我甘愿成为我年轻爸爸的小孩子。

6月24日,是我正式开始第五年的医学生活。而那么巧的,就由儿科开始。‘鲜嫩的梦,已经成熟。夕阳洒落,让剪影斑驳....’ 这两句就一直萦绕在我的脑海里,陪着我返回宿舍的路程上。

有些东西,
错过了,
就是一辈子的遗憾。

茫然的在挣扎,
又不懂何时方能靠岸。

不是不想捉紧,
只是不懂如何捉紧...

亲爱的路人




一個一個笑窩 一段一段淚光
每一次都以為 是永遠的寄託
承受不起的傷 來不及痊癒就解脫
我們 已經各得其所

所謂承諾 都要分了手才承認是枷鎖
所謂辜負 都是浪漫地蹉跎
所以別問 還差甚麼我們沒結果
都結了果 卻由他來收穫

那時候 年輕得不甘寂寞 錯把磨練當成折磨
對的人終於會來到 因為犯的錯夠多
總要為 想愛的人不想活 才跟該愛的人生活
來過 走過 是親愛的路人 成全我

塵埃落定之後 回憶別來挑撥
何必刻意難過 去證明快樂過
時間改變你我 來不及回看就看破
灑脫 是必要的執著

所謂承諾 都要分了手才承認是枷鎖
所謂辜負 都是浪漫地蹉跎
所以別問 還差甚麼我們沒結果
都結了果 卻由他來收穫

那時候 年輕得不甘寂寞 錯把磨練當成折磨
對的人終於會來到 因為犯的錯夠多
總要為 想愛的人不想活 才跟該愛的人生活
來過 走過 是親愛的路人 成全我

那時候 年輕得不甘寂寞 錯把磨練當成折磨
對的人終於會來到 因為犯的錯夠多
總要為 想愛的人不想活 才跟該愛的人生活
來過 走過 是親愛的路人 成全我

那時候 只懂得愛誰最多 忘了誰最懂得愛我
對的人會成為一對 因為 再不怕犯錯
沒有錯 讓最愛的人錯過 才知道最後愛甚麼
來吧 來吧 讓親愛的路人 珍惜我
沒有你們愛過 沒有我

最初,以为只是路人,
没想到,变成亲爱的。
曾经以为最亲爱的,
最后原来也只是路人...
