That was a quite memorable chess journey ,again..

on 20 march, i back from xueji "back nest day" meeting and had a rest within 2 half hours.

Then, i started to prepare to go sban with connie, fox and genie , with a exhausted feeling and eyes.

Bugs bunny suddenly cannot joined with us to go for the stonemaster amateur chess tournament due to his dad did not allow him to go. felt some sorry for his absence.

On the time waiting for city liner which go to sban, i met a friend, a friend which lost contact for a long time . freakly, we had nothing to say when v met. that is a big different with a year ago before.

After reached the KTM railway station, fox called staziak to come promptly.

When reached Mid valley, we went to the food court to treat our hungry stomach.

We met Chicken ,a friend which is future doctor bio from penang.

there have many choice of delicious food, from korean to hong kong.

but finally, i chose the simple plate- rice with 3 type of vege..

Genie and fox followed me too..

after it, we went to supermarket to buy some biscuit,milk and else.

lolx,firstly, i went to biscuit area n chose IKO, my favourite brand biscuit.

fox started to cease me again, last time in penang, i did the same thing, too.haha~

when we were going to the counter, a china man introduced a honey jam to us.

he is funny and enthusiastic.

Importantly, he asked us where we come from, chicken reply him with "we come from Taiwan"

lolx.. we laughed out without any care when trying his honey which is put in a tiny test spoon.

Chicken really joked with a stranger. lolx..

then, the man had told us he is learning English too. But he speaked too fast until we did not know what about he said. haha~

with a tired body, we back to staziak home .that was a long way to go to his home.

We helped staziak to clean his parent's home.

the home seem like been no stay for a long time.

On the next day,

we got up on 7am.

Started to eat breakfast - milk n IKO biscuit which bought yesterday..haha~

and soon, we fast to find the venue od the tournament.

that was like a marathon ,due to we go to wrong way, almost 8km. But v enjoy.

Finally, we met camelrul and go to the venue together..

what's that?! i supposed that is a big building like company with air-con,

but factly, it wasn't.

Then, we met alexson n ah gan, a friend from KGV.

11am, the match started.

we would have 8 rounds a day, but we just played for 7 rounds and back home.

in the rounds, i met different peoples , but both of them are good in chess, the first people which i very impressed with him, very friendly. of course, he won and told me that avoid to think too many time in a round due to limited time. I know, but i am just beginner, and i was nervous a bit.

the second people which i impressed with, look like perancis man. He used Queen Gambit for opening.

but i dont know the opening.after finished it, camelrul told that my opening was very good, but i free a knight for him to eat,some regret. Camerul said that he has the fault always too.

the third people which i impressed with, was a old malay folk.
after i lost, he remind me dont think too much in a chess due to the limited time ,again same with the first person.

forth round, after i checkmate to the rival, i found that the old folk standing beside me. He started to tell me actually how can i checkmate faster,he repeated and repeated.i heard, and thanks for him . Fox laughed at me because i was scolded even though i won. However, i did not think that was a scolding, conversely is a guide for me to improve.

there was a rainy day.

We start the back journey and ultimately, staziak, camerul ,fox, connie n me had a dinner at chicken rice shop.. yummy..

that was a extreme joyful, pleasant, funny and memorable journey.
