We Won ?!?!....

'Hell Week' has past..... the toughest week yet as scheduled, the Vesak Day week... that came and went .
I survived !!! Yeh !!!

The next 2 weeks is gonna be less hectic for me provided no last minute drama happens...

During the last packed week, I was 'volunteered' to represent the dept to compete in the Wii Tennis Game on Fri evening. Not forgetting that I was having back-to-back training for the whole week...

My partner was especially excited about it and he was all decked out for a thundering 'show-time', in his gold limited Addidas trainer.
For me, I was there to do my best and getting into quarter final was the max I could think of.... There were 16 teams from all the various dept. The Mktg Blue Boys was one of the toughest I imagined to beat, but we trashed them with 2 straight wins !!! Thanks to Ace Serve !!!

After a few rounds of 'Best of 3' matches, we squeezed into the finals.
We final emerged as the 2nd after the Best of 5 matches !!
Considering my current fitness level and my 4th or 5th exposure to Wii, its a heck of an accomplishment !!!
On hind sight, we lost because all the previous straight wins, we were playing doubles on the right-side. But during the finals, we played on the left and before we had time to get used to it, we were already down. But we denied them a straight win of 3 games. There were long drawn rallies that got the whole room cheering for us....

I get this feeling that my HoD may migrate her family's Wii set to office soon (after watching us play in the biggest training room)......
Who would not, I would too !...
High power projector and huge screen and all round overhead sound system in a big training room, its as real as it can get and you have all the place to run around, swinging your controller all over the shop !!!

Though next 2 weeks is gonna less hectic, there are other corporate 'ECAs' lined up for us afte work...

Well, real busy is better than trying to look busy....
