I saw Reiko lastnight at the finals. She's snow white fair and so cute. I think the outgoing Japanese Embassy guy is hilarious and entertaining. Did any of you watch the Open Men Singles? The young kid is blazing fast ! KEmeer: Where do u usually play?

Cool, what times do you play? Monster, me and a bunch of friends usually play Sundays 9 to 11am at Gadong Centrepoint Hotel. A bit off topic
Yea, i work there, but did not turn up for the dinner due to family commitments... I'm even more sad... Could have planted another kiss on reiko during the dinner... Lol
Centerpoint? Hmmm. My chef plays there with Imai and his students most of the week. Know Nusrul Suhaili? Of course, he's way better than i am. Lol... Perhaps you could teach me a couple of tricks you know. hehe I genreally play from 7pm till 9m mondays, Wednesdays. 2pm till 4pm Saturdays. Btw, which part of Sydney you studied Blitzzard?

JanShim: Very nice photos! Are you the guy with the big white camera and lens beside me? Kemeer: Pusat Belia not packed usually? I went there and Menglait before but people don't seem to move out and let others have their chance. So me and friends decided to pay and have the court all to ourselves. Limsy: How old is Beryno Wong? He looks really young. I guess it's all relative. He is VERY GOOD. Blitz: Not playing this Sunday. Will be a family man.
