toyota and denso cup

Hmmm... was not online for the past 3 days cause was busy helping out at the toyota & denso world go oza tournament. The prize for the champion of the asian qualifying is US$1,000, tat is quite alot isnt it... but wait, the prize for the champion of the main tournament is S$423,000!!! Of course the one singapore host was the asain qualifying...

The president of singapore weiqi got really quite bad english... he introduce all the players from country like india, thailand, mongolia, indonesia and so on...but it sounds so different from their names (they have name tag), well, i guess he just change all of their names. the worst is yet to come, nihon ki-in means japan weiqi association and he pronounce it as "nee-hong-kee" and i was like ermm.. great, u make it sound so valguar. the games were all exciteing but there i thing i could not stand and tat is the voice of the hong kong player. His name is yang shi hai 杨士海。professional 8 dan.

The first time i hear his name in the internet i find the name quite cool but when i hear his voice, omg... eeeee. He sounds like a tai jian. i am serious... is like as if something is blocking his throat...gosh i have to control my laughter whenever i hear him speak and the worst thing is i record 3 out of 4 of his games. anyway i name him as yang gong gong. the way he holds and put a seeds make my hair stands cause his last finger will always be pointing upwards... it will go higher when he holds a cup to drink. During the last day there is a teaching game and my teacher (who is quite a gd frend of him) arrange me to play with him. I feel quite embrassing cause he is the best player(he got first, yar means he got the us$1,000) there and during the teaching game i was put together with the thailand(3rd place) and a singapore (got 3 player total but this player got 4th) player and i am not even the paticipants. i felt quite fortunate too cause a game like this could cost up to $200. tats wat yang gong gong told my teacher about his charges.

I played with 4 handicapp and in the end lost by 7. i was really really surprise that i could complete the game all the way to the end cause most of them resign halfway. well, i supoose he din concentrate on me too much. during the game i notice he doesnt have a apple in his throat.. omg... hha...maybe his throat too much fats le.
