WSC and CSC epilogue

WSC 70th place (half a win up on 2005 record). 11-13, -262.
Just pissed mad that I had to play compatriot, Vannitha Balasingam in the last round. And Malaysia is confirmed losing a spot, so shared responsibilities all round. (and that includes you, Ganesh)
CSC Open: 10th place, RM500, 27.5-17.5, + 1317.
No chance to play Premier this year, so I need not take responsibility that Causeway team has been dropped (Hell, I would rather Team Malaysia play and get dropped than being merged with Singapore to form Team Causeway). Time to start boosting International Rating to make the International teams (I think the 1911 rating I got from these two tourneys is a good headstart)

Foreseeable 2010 Itinerary
April: 2010 Australia Nationals, Adelaide
June: 25th King's Cup, Bangkok
November: WPC, Toronto/Dallas/Whereever (There is always the Malaysian Open for backup)
December: Causeway Scrabble Challenge, JB

Not going this year

Goods news: I suck at Scrabble.

Bad news: I lost the last game. It was for the right to be the reserve for the WSC team.

Ugly news: I practically was trying to give the game away (stupid challenge)

Interesting news: The debate between Ganesh and Vannitha over words and learning and everything else in between.

Well, now that everything is over.
We are all waiting for John Lam to spit out generate the ratings from Penang.
My initial estimate (final results will definitely vary) is that Suanne will be in front of me and Pui in the rating and go the the WSC.

Typing this out in the hotel lobby while the listening to the Chingay performance outside on Jalan Bukit Bintang, first time they are holding this one here to after a lapse of 10+ years since my high school years.
