To Perlis Rapid Open, I am Going

This Saturday will be the first time I am going to Perlis for a chess tournament as I have not been to Perlis for years not to mention playing in a chess tournament over there.

The objective is high as I think master would not want to play in an event with RM80 as first prize but this tournament will be serving as a testing ground for my openings so things might turn out ugly.

Some details of the event:
Organiser: Sek Men Keb Syed Hassan & Persatuan Catur Prestij Perlis
Venue: Kantin SMK Syed Hassan
Date: April 2007 (Saturday)
Time: 8.00am – 6.00pm (Round 1 start at 9:00am)

Please visit GilaChess.com for more information.

Malaysia National Rating List - April 07

The April version of Malaysia Chess National Rating list if finally out. I had no rated game played over the Jan~Apr period so my rating stays at 1680. Too bad all of the 4 tournaments that I had played in Penang was not rated (USM Individual, Team, PFS Open, CLHS Open) or else I would had my rating >1700 as I finished top 10 in the events and losing only 4 games in total...

Until then,

Important Notice for all Jit Sin Students

Excerpt from blog by Jynee read as follow, sorry for some foul language in following text I think the guy was quite pissed.


This is a letter from Chee Yang. According to Boon Pin, Seow Meng from my batch, graduated 2001 become one of the victim last month as well. My fellow friends, please be aware and inform your family immediately. Don't let those bad guy misused our graduate magazine.

Hi all,
My name is Choo Chee Yang, and I graduated from SMJK Jit Sin at 1999, currently stay in singapore . However, my parents are still stay in BM.

Last friday morning, i received a phone call from my mum, said a guy called and claimed that he was my classmate, named Han Ping or You Peng. Told my mum that he wants to send the wedding invitation card to me.

That time i only recalled i got a classmate called Han Ping who is now working in Singapore as well. So i told my mum i don't know and thought mayb he'll mail to me, I wasn't vigilant enough to tell my mum to beware since it maybe a stranger.

But, this guy showed himself at my house in BM and wanted to hand over the invitation card to my mum, my mum got to let him enter to show politeness and my mum said he ' s looks smarter than me (good looking guy not bad guy's mentality).

After he entered, started to tell a lot of stories to distract my mum, such as my school time's stuff. After awhile, he complaint he was thirsty and required a drink. At 1st he said he can't take cold drink, so my mum went in dining room to pour warm water for him, unnoticely he followed behind and then suddenly changed his mind that he wanted cold drink. So my mum went to fridge to get some cold drink.

At this time, this f**ker told my mum said his b**** mother was waiting outside and he want to fecth her outside. So this fucker walked out in the seconds. Before my mum noticed something wrong. This bloody cb f***er took away my mum ' s hand bag and a new mobile phone that i gave my dad during chinese new year.inside my mum hand bag there's a old hand phone and rm40++. Although i am very very frustrated, but the loss was not too great. Just a new samsung mobile most.

But, whati most t*l** was this bloody cb f**ker went to another friend of mine called Teh Chee Hong's place. Headdressed himself the same name as he told my mum, and he's able to tell Chee Hong ever met in the motorcycle's accident during in the school time and he's currently in Japan. As usual, Chee Hong's mother believed what he said and let him enter. The details of these incident I was not too clear because it was told from my neighbour Ming Hong to my mum who is very closed to Chee Hong. All I knew is this time, this cb f**ker really cheated her that he knows the methods to clean to golden chain and jewellry etc. So she brought out all her jewellry to let the f**ker clean it. And this f**ker really took away a total cost of rm7000 from her!!!!!

Friends from Jit Sin,i suspect some organisation has used our graduation book to get our address and house phone no. And they maybe had monitored our residents a long period of times. So i am here as a victim to warn you all, to tell your family not to open the gate to a stranger who claimed he's your old schoolmate. Because this maybe the wolf within a sheep's outfit, this f***ker is look alike my friends in the graduation book's photo. This incident I have told my friend Chau Chong, Han Ping, Aik Keong, Koon Chuan, Kean Kun etc. And I'll make more calls to others.

To prevent this syndicate still active, I pleased that all mates could take this incident seriously and I want this cb f**ker get arrested. I hope BM police force and school administration can notice this issue.

Last, please help me pass this message to other Jit Sin pals and wish there's no more victim from now on.

Newspaper, Kwong Wah Yit Poh did report on this issue.

So guys and girls, please beware!

Best regards,
Eu Hong

And the 1000th visitor is
Not a great archievement though, but at least I got some regular readers.. Thanks for the support. =)

老朋友

有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎? 半年没见了,她依然那么迷人...
周末午时突然接获短讯,知道她已人在槟城, 于是互通短讯约好周日午餐时相见...
迷迷糊糊过了一天,很快到了周日午时.好不容易来到PC Fair现场,寻着了她, 无奈她却忙着,午餐延迟至三时...
终于见面了,不管三七二十一地把她载到最远处(来回50公里)只为了午餐.半年不见,咱们没放过一分一秒,沿路谈个不停.也许把午餐延迟让大家都饿了,两人共吃了六盘!!
夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏.. 不得已, 咱们踏上归途. 沿途还买了不少快餐.
把她送到PC Fair现场,而我却独自踏上归途...

Idiot

Who is the idiot? He is non other than yours truly, me, myself. Well I installed PostNuke as the CMS (Content Management System) for my website but could not manage to configure it in such a way that it act the exact way I want. Finally, I had to write my own CMS with PHP, create the MySQL database and design my own template which is ugly, well I am no designer and always get complain since years ago.

Am I am too stupid to use a system or am I simply too choosy?

Cheers!
