Getting a bighead nowadays, I think my homework schedule is completely out. Somehow I just cant get myself to sit in front of my table, in front of the pile of homework and start doing! Even so, i have completed the part on Bio and one tutorial of the maths pile. I think I would really need to hurry before the OBS and Scrabble tourneys set in.Yup, went to Yen nee's on Saturday and had a day full of Gin Rummy, various card games and of course Scrabble. Obviously not much talent in Gin Rummy since the jokers seem to shun me and I even fold on the first hand. I think i will just stick to Scrabble for the time being. Many were waiting for Li Wei to arrive but he did not.
Just when we were about to go off, Yen, Ball, Elmo, Gh, Wb and I starting a little discussion on who is going for the upcoming tourneys. Well, thomsons' definitely out for me since i have OBS from 14-22nd NOV. Yen was introducing the deal of joining Yew Tee as a player or as a Tournament director. There are of course certain pros and cons accompanying both choices.
As a player in div A, I can:
1. Practise for Cuzway and WYSC
2. Get a chance of winning $300 shopping vouchers + trophy
3. Get a rating boost to the 1990s (Not really an issue at the moment)
As a TD, I can:
1. Hitch a ride back and fro from Yew Tee
2. Get a help-out fee of $50
3. Scout around for words
4. Stone and relax while others will rack their brains with their racks
5. Free myself from paying $20 as participation fee (I need money for Cuzway reg. dearly!)
Hm, it seems to me that the TD devil is winning the angel. But somehow I cant decide.
