To play or not to play

There will be a local Scrabble tourney next weekend, which will jam up my dinner appointments schedule on Friday, Saturday and Monday (not to mention that they are all wine tasting menus so I will probably be playing at around 20% peak performance)

What a dilemma...trilemma....quadrilemma....

Watchmen was worth the wait.

even with the few significant changes in the storyline and shortened philosophical monologues.

Guess my favourite Watchmen now is strictly Rorschach (I used to dig the cynical Comedian) but having a shifting face-mask and "me against the world" attitude just cuts it for me; plus his death scene is much cooler than Comedian's.

Australian Nationals 2009

Perth, here I come.

At least it will be on Easter weekend, have booked the flight and accommodation.
Now to renew the passport and get an ETA Visa.

PS: I know I haven't been posting about food much.
Will probably throw all the photos I have on one page with some captions.

Marley and Me

What a tearjerker......I even shed tears at the end.

God, I need to get it on DVD for my collection for my little ones when they do come into this world.

Now to go with someone to watch Watchmen.

Thank god for Millecup

Okay, first tournament jitters over. 4th place was a so-so finish even if I was seeded 4th but I still lost rating points. Not many fantastic things except for the niner that turned around a game where I was like 2 bingos down and playing catch-up. Funny how luck changes midgame.

On to the next one. wonder if I can win it (wish I could give Nigel a run for his money, last year's Scrabble Scramble was very painful to lose)

On another topic, I dislike the team allocation for Malaysia this year at Causeway (and I most definitely do not want to play my countrymen even if I make the international team), not that I will make the cut for that anyway. At least we get more spots for the WSC.
