of Games and Holidays

a hectic week these past weeks have been. oh dear. with final year project work load - my dear supervisor had managed to make my workload even more than it should! - and birthdays, games, road trip. wowwee. i cant imagine working. the workload will be either triple or quadruple all this!

anyway, catching up with what happened and what didnt.

first, hanis's birthday! her 22nd to be exact, was on the 13/3. went over to her house around midnight and surprise her. and had a dinner thing at Rice and watched Alice in Wonderland. was an awesome day! and plus, the Scotts against English was a tie (RBS 6 nation). it was a good match, though i only managed to watch the final 30 minutes.

second, warwick games (14/3). it is the the first time EVER all 3 newcastle main team - Toon Army, BEN BEN and Librarian Army - team up together. but, the game.. sigh. crappy CRAPPY management. crappy craPPY CRAPPY referee. aih. horrible. but thanks to all ben2. seriously. i love you guys. :D but match summary, newcastle won 1, tie 1 and lose 1. so we didnt qualify to quarter (or was it semi? hurm) but all in all, it was a good game played, and a good trip, despite the strong wind, the weather was awesome!

third, cardiff games + road trip (19-22/3). now that was the highlight of this week! having decided to go 3 days before the actual event, this trip was actually a success! with 4 cars convoying, series of getting lost, and separated on the road, we had so much fun! plus, ben2 qualified pass the group stage, beating the other 2 teams 7-1 and 6-0. but we lost to Glenmorgan Uni's team... i would not want to comment more on this, because it was/is just very frustrating.

it was also the weekend of RBS 6 nation. and as i well expected and hoped, France won the Grand Slam title, beating England 12-10. though i must say they didnt win in style, but they won nevertheless! :D Allez les Blues!!!

and after all game-hectic was over, we did manage to go around sightseeing - Caerphilly Castle, Stonehenge and Cardiff Bay. awesome awesome time! and man, road trip never can upset me. thanks again to EVERYONE for the best cooperation and the remarkable time. we shall have another one of this again - DEFINITELY!

*5 more was not in the picture*

this coming weekend is another game, here in newcastle - the North East 5-aside. BEN2 is up for the challenge, and will win the newcastle 'cup' again! so watch out Toon Army and Librarian Army. the psycho war is now on! (LOL!)
