Have been thinking whether to get a DSLR or a Procumer camera the past few week after playing with minyi's DSLR during the active aging carnival.

In the end i decided to get a procumer cause it is smaller and cheaper and most importantly, i lazy to maintain a DSLR... hahahahahh



Got Sony DSC-H20...

Decided to play around with my camera since i am not encourage to step out of my home...





Hikaru No Go collection. The thing which change my life completely and make a huge impact in my life. I was thinking if the author did not write this comic, what will i be doing now? No idea.. And why did i started this comic? cause i was browsing in comic connection and the cover somehow attracted me so i decided to buy book 1 to try it out. haha..




My goban. A present from my parents for my 20th birthday. When i told my parents how much it cost and the size of the board (to them is a piece of wood), they were shock and asked me whether i was going to make a coffin out from it...hahahha...Ordered this from japan and i can still remember how excited i was when they deliver it to my doorstep. Just in case u wanna know where i order, the japanese shop is under my blog link.




Got the seeds from korea baduk association during my stay at liu chang he dao chang last year... zhi xiong if u are reading this, yes...u broke one of the white seed :)




A mini poster of the movie Wu qing Yuan. Got this from the shop Popcorn. When i bought this the sales man was like having this "wooo...cool choice" face. haha..he must feel really glad someone finally bought this. hahaha




Visitors coming to my room will ask me why is there a lump of rubbish in the corner of my room. but that is actually my "weiqi corner". Usually after i finish my weiqi "training" , papers will spread all over the floor and when my maid wants to mop the floor, she will start her favourite game.."weiqi stacko"..yup stacking everything as shown in the pic.




Got this weiqi set from china during the world mind sports game last year. At first i thought it look nice... but then as i keep looking at it...it gives me creep...look like those container for putting ash. CHOY........




My number 1 weiqi collection!!! haha.. actual seeds used by the players during the ings cup in singapore this year. Even got their signature on the weqi set!!!


Not sure if i can go out this week cause might be quartine due to h1n1 among my unit frend. From what my unit frend told me when he got back to work today, things seems to be getting bad in my camp, he got quartine when looking for MO. Hope i dun get it cause if i do get it... swa has to stop functioning and my parents not able to work le...

Yesterday was the first Singapore Weiqi Association exco meeting for the current new term.

Mr Kwa (jie hui's dad) is the new president of Singapore Weiqi Association.

Suntec weiqi booth is finally over!!! Is was 2 tired days for those who helped out due to its long hours (11am to 8pm) and long hours of standing or sitting on floor cause only 2 chairs provided...

Is quite a new experience to some people cause imagine repeating the basic rules and objective of weiqi over n over n over n over again to different people...Whao!! sounds cool yea?




Title of our booth!!! Of course is swa.....





Our booth beside some charity booth...Our location is quite good cause is just beside the goodie bag station so there will be lots of ppl around us... Bad thing is ppl keep asking us for "chop" cause they need to go certain station to get certain amount of chop to get goodie bag. So imagine ppl coming to our booth with their eyes big open and when you are thinking in your heart that "yes!! finally someone is interested in this game", that person ask "can i have a chop?"




wenjun posing in the booth.....




The items we put on the booth... goban... flyers... cute little 9x9 board.... laptop showing hikaru no go and hikaru no go manga...





President of swa went down to give us his support even though he lost his way in suntec city for around half an hour trying to look for our booth....




Minyi and wenjun "attacking" an auntie passing by our booth...




Me randomly forced to take pic with our top amateur player TJC whom is busy looking at his book........




Oh....this is zhixiong n his best friend, Mr Tall. Really....i must say zx is mad, hahaha... firstly he dunno who these tall creature are and whenever he sees them (there are a total of 3 tall creature) he behave like he is on drugs... putting down everthing in his hand and run over to these creature to give them high-5. I am really curious wat these creature r thinking whenever they see him run madly towards them...

will post more after i get the rest of the pic from wenjun...

gd nite

Just came back from orchard hotel attending Singapore Sports Awards Ceremony 2009.

This ceremony gives recognition to sportsman and sportswomen in 2008 and we saw lots of athletes including swimmer Tao Li, the table tennis players li jiawei, wang yue gu and so on. Personally i think this is a very good exposure to SWA and to the new young exco member minyi, alvin, wenjun and siong hwai who were there.







I am really happy that they are in exco not because i have ppl of my generation to talk to now but they share the same passion as me to change SWA to a better association n promote this game to more ppl. In the past is just james and jc whom i can "talk" to but james became manager and jc seldom come to meeting due to sch work so sometimes is rather tedious to talk with the older generation.

Hope in a few years time we will get to see ppl from SWA receiving awards from this ceremony.

In 2010 asian games in china, weiqi will be an side event together with international chess.

Now weiqi has been consider an official sports in the 2014 asian games which is going to be held in south korea!

The weiqi icon in the red box.

This weekend swa is going to have a booth in suntec city in conjunction with ageing carnival to publicise and promote this game. Is really a good booth cause is located in the middle of the mall. Hope that everything goes through smoothly! It will be on sat and sun from 830am till night. Do visit us!
Flyers done by minyi to be given out on that day.

What a twist in samsung cup thing.....

Personally i see no point sending an amateur there.

I tried so hard to fight for them for the com but sorry... i tried my best.

Very tired.... When other ppl in my age are still having fun, playing games, enjoying themself, me on the other hand seems to enter the working world...politics, thinking and solving stuff which i should be doing 8 or 10 years later... dunno... tired...

I am really glad yls surprise birthday party is a success. Well, at least to me it is a success.. haha.

I almost thought that the party is gone due to the scary weather. The sky look like its going to have a storm anytime and i was wondering how can 40 plus ppl squeeze into the house. Luckily is just a few drops of rain:) Lesson learnt... always plan for rainy weather when in outdoor.

Yls admit that he din know is a surprise party for him until hci ppl turn up.. haha..he must be wondering when did wenjun become so close to them that they will attend his birthday party.

Rui nai wei's phone call from korea was good too, better than i expected. I started calling her when wenjun light the candle so i was hoping everyone can quickly sing birthday song so that we can pass him the phone but haha... yls started talking then no one started the birhday song and after the song, he have to make a wish and cut cake which takes so long........., my heart was like omg... every second counts cause i dunno how much it cost to call from sg to korea. But is was worth it cause can see that yls was really happy to receive that call.

We were also worried that the food is not enough but in the end there were still some left over. Hope it taste good cause i din get to taste everything:(

Really want to thank those who help out in this event and also to those who turn up for this event. Thanks!!!
