Net Carn '07

We didn't win Net carn, not a thing because we were disqualified from all events other than the actual game itself. Pity, we left the banner in the squash courts and the damn paint started to rot. And poof, we were disqualified. Yay and everyone's happy. Yeah right. There was not even a prize for best played game (alone), only overall champion and all other events we were disqualified from. What a shame. They were determined to make us lose. They must have saw this coming and hence disqualified us from everything else. We only had a chance if we were sensational which apparently we were not. A couple of wins, a few loses, and a number of ties. No way we can be overall champions. 1-11 totally trashed us in the final match, even with a four point penalty. This is so unfair! Like, okay! We were wrong! Do you really have to do this?! Sigh, what's over is over, there's no use brooding over it I should get over it and live, but not before leaving my foot print behind on their sparkling clean shirts. Humph. Well, I should respect the comment I made in JY's blog. It's not about the prize, it's about the journey. I think we did put in the effort, played great games and gone beyond my personal expectations of the class. We might not have won, but the journey was fruitful and engaging. We reaped more than any other class from this unfortunate incident and we shall learn from this day on to be more careful and of course, never leave your class banner lying around, in case it rots and the smell wafts to some unfortunate soul out there.
