Round 2 Pairing for AAG2014 Macao - Open 12 Category

Not a good start for my AAG 2014 chess tournament since I lost to a Filipino opponent. Even though he is unrated, it doesn't mean that he can be defeated easily. Our match was the last one to finish in the Open 12 category. 

I need a very good rest tonight since tomorrow there are two rounds to play. One at 9.00am and the other is in the afternoon. I will play against a Singaporean opponent in the second round tomorrow morning. I hope I can win this time.

L12 Category - Round 2

Excellent results in the first round for me and my L12 team mates. All of us won our respective games. Not only PPD Petaling Perdana won all in the first round, but three other PPDs also did the same. Who are they? Check out below Round 2 pairings. In the second round held in the afternoon, Faqih had to play against his own teammate, Raja Bazil at the top board.  My other teammate, Zulfikri had to face a PPD Klang player named Emir Rusyaidi. As for me, my opponent was Diness Kumar of Hulu Langat. So, how's the results? Both Faqih and Raja Bazil shared the one point. Meanwhile, Zulfikri blundered his chance to win against higher-seeded Emir Rusyaidi. Alhamdulillah, I won against my opponent.

The third round will be played very early on the second day at 8 o'clock.

Cruising The Putrajaya Lake

Below photos were taken on 13th November 2012. Let me tell the story about the photos. Were we celebrating something? Actually, it was my elder brother's 16th birthday. Me and my family went to Putrajaya not only to celebrate the birthday but also the wedding anniversary of my parents. We took a cruise in the Putrajaya lake. Before stepping into the cruise boat at 6 o'clock, I was enjoying a tri-cycle ride.

It was fun cruising the Putrajaya Lake. I saw lots of buildings from the lake. Have you ever had the boat cruise in the Putrajaya Lake? If not yet, have one.

i like the tri-cycle ride y'all
