Dear blog, finally, we met again.
Ok, I know, it's lame... -_-
This holidays, I made a terrible mistake. Whatever happened to me on the 14 of March, in the hall of Northland Secondary School, at second table from the right of Table H4, at the third game?
Yep. I lost the match. The Scrabble match! To think I actually forget the words "ez" and "afox" were not acceptable!! For the rest of my life, I guess I will remember "ez" and "afox"... AHHHH!!! What happened to my brain!!!!!! How come I actually missed out on such words! I really want to cry... Even if I think of "them" now, they still hurt my heart so deeply... Alas! 时光逝去不复返，那一次的惨败，仍深灼我心。。。人们都说“经一事，长一智”，但这能挽回我深深的遗憾吗？
Can I say I was striked with bad luck that day??? At that very first game, I was faced with my most hated opponent from Yi_ _ _ _ Secondary. He was the one who won me by 100+ points last time and made me so depressed over my scrabble skills for a period of time after that dreadful match. What can I say, except that I was simply too "lucky"? What a honour was it to be able to play with him again (eyes narrowing)! Anyway, I was determined to compete with him again, after I knew I was placed against him again. At least, even to win him one point will be so contented for me.
However, my meagre wish was not granted. Apparently, he got the good tiles again while on the other hand I kept getting consonants. My luck only improved a bit when I changed tiles during the middle of the game. I think he accidentally opened up the triple-word prenium square, and I managed to grab two of these precious squares which saved my neck and allowed me to shorten the distance between our points. At one point I was even nearly on par with him. Yet sadly, in the end, I still lost him by 31 points. Although I lost him, I was quite satisfied by my score... like what my senior(Angelique) said, hey, I actually improved by 70+ points compared between the two defeats!
I won the second game with spread difference of 110 points, but I was not so satisfied with my score though... My opponent was new to the game, and I really felt so bad when I played against her... She wasn't so clear about the rules, and I felt I took advantage of her when I put down words that could be challenged.
My third game, was, like what I said (look above), very "interesting". I was leading my opponent at first, regardless of the "ez" mistake (grr... bares teeth at myself in mirror). However, I made my eternal mistake of not challenging "afox" and putting down "ki" which was definitely unacceptable but at that point of time, seems acceptable to me. And since then, tragedy striked, I lost the game by a 12 points!!!!!!! 12!!! Oh my god... I really want to kill myself!
With the losing of two games, my dream of buying JJlin's album was dashed. I had actually made a promise to myself that if I managed to win two games at the competition, I will be able to reward myself with JJlin's album. Alas! Gone with the defeats of the two games was JJlin's album. Haish... I guess I had to find myself another chance to reward myself with JJlin's album again...
Ok... got to go back reading the "SHUI HU ZHUAN" again. My instincts were correct. That book was boring!
