A little on the guys at char-kway-teow dot com. Couple nights ago, we were talking and one of the guys, yong keat, mentioned that he went undefeated in a tournament hosted not too long ago. The next then question was that if he was undefeated, why wasn't he in the first place. Apparently, undefeated was strictly only undefeated, he had a couple of draws, which means he did win either... doh.



Ya guys (gals) remember the olympics that wasn't too long ago? The table tennis event... I was undefeated. In fact, i was undefeated in every singles event in the olympics : D Aside from the fact that i wasn't competent enough to participate in any of the events, i was undefeated... and to borrow a phrase from Xiaxue, "Pui!".



Anyway, i had my very first team event for magic the gathering yesterday. Our team had pigsticker (my cousin), Kar Hoe, one of the more friendly guys from char-kway-teow dot com and last but not least, 'moi'. The thing about team events was that we had to think of a name for the team.



We went through a couple crap names like "Team One", "Team Cool" etc, but those names were either a little too arrogant or uncool and therefore crappy. We wanted a super cool name, atleast if we don't win a single match in the event, we would atleast still be the most funky named team there.



Anyway, in our usual tourneys, if we're paired against each other, we would call each other 'leng zei' (handsome guy in canto) and politely ask the opponent to concede before we actually sit down for the game. So in honor of what we usually do there, i suggested that the team be called (pronounced leng zei sahm in canto), which is literally translated into handsome guys three. Pretty catchy name huh.



Unfortunately, they don't accept team names in mandarin characters so we had to write 'Leng Zei Sahm' as the team name. Turned out that the tournament organizer couldn't pronounce our team name and therefore didn't even try, he just went, "your team, that table".



There were six matches in the team event. Aside from losing four out of six of the matches, we were pretty much undefeated : p : D
