On a side note, I spilt McD coffee in my car, or rather, it leaked and seeped through the paper bag. My car still smells faintly of caffeine. Which is rather.. invigorating. On the bright side. :D
Begun the journey to UCSI then. I had no idea where it was before this (I thought it was near Giant Shah Alam), yes I have horrible geographical knowledge. A GPS search later and I found out it was in Cheras. To the KESAS! My home on the road. :D
Roughly 15 minutes later I found myself in Cheras. Having placed my trust in my GPS, I followed its instructions diligently. And it lead me into a back alley, through what seemed to be a parking lot. I looked up. I saw Giant. Dafuq? I couldn't turn around too as they were both 1 way streets. And the guy insisted that I pay RM1 to enter. WTF. GPS led me to an unofficial 'toll booth' BAHH. =.=
Nevertheless, UCSI was just beyond Giant.
We're here!
Le walking into UCSI to support team!
UCSI lobby!
Saw these and I was like "Dafuq?" Aye, anyone up for a.. shoulder massage of death? :D
So we found the hall, the MPH, pretty quick. And just in time too, the first match of each category just started.
The first Men's Doubles game going on. Lip Yong and James, Monash (far end) against UCSI (near end).
Ivan and Seasons, our second Men's Doubles team.
Everything's still pretty slow-paced now. I guess it's just the first round after all. Warm ups and stuff. Headed around to watch the other games in place.
Men's Double's 1st round 2nd game.
Men's Singles. Zid for Monash! Against some dude from SEGI, if I'm not mistaken.
Men's Singles, our second player, Eugene from Year 4. playing against.. SEGI? I think. :/
Time for the girls to showcase their skills.
Women's Doubles, Janice and Diyana from Year 1 (Monash) playing against.. UCSI.
Undoubtedly though, the best match of the day was this one.
The Men's Singles, UCSI against SEGI. Think it was the Semifinal match.
Warming up.
Le smash! I mean it was just epic. Initially there were crowds at all 3 games running concurrently. 5 minutes later.. Everyone shifted over to watch them play. Omg.
After like.. dunno how long, it was finally time for our second doubles team to shine.
Go Monash!
We were then given a short break for lunch. Seasons led the way. Then I remembered he used to be in UCSI. So yeah. Headed to this chicken rice shop somewhere down the road. Not bad la. Ordered Char Siew Fan and they gave me twice the regular portion you'd expect back at Sunway, for the same price. Dam full. D:
On the way back.. Passing the CC.
"Eh we got 5 people"
"5 people..? What team does that make?!.... Basketball team!"
LOL. Ivan.
Seasons then gave us a tour of USCI.
Le sign near entrance.
Their Pharmacy Lab. The size was okay la. Pretty big, about the same as what we have in Monash. They even have this practicing booth nearby, simulating an actual pharmacy. Real life dispensing exercise! Pretty cool.
Then we went to their cafe.
Which was AIR-CONDITIONED. Dafuq?
Spotted a familiar stand there.
Then there was this cool reload station. You can get anything from a reload card for your phone to even MOL POINTS for gaming! Cool shiz.
But it was time to get back, the finals were about to begin.
Men's Singles final match:
Eugene (Monash) against Yellow Shirt Pro Guy (USCI)
I gotta say, we Monashians really cheered. Everytime we scored a point, there was bottle clanking, banging and cheering. Most enthusiastic crowd. WOO. Then when we lost a point.. UCSI decided to cheer as well, :P
But in the end, UCSI took the match. Pretty close. 21-19, 21-18 if I'm not mistaken.
Soo leading the cheer. :D
Then the Men's Doubles final.
Seasons / Ivan vs the 2 UCSI lecturers.
Did not go well. Lol
Once all was said and done, the prizes were handed out. And we Monashians had a seperate ceremony at the side.
Soo giving out the certificates of participation.
We may not have won anything, but we sure as hell had fun. :D
