What 3 Malaysians up to during their break at MAIGOC?
Most of them spent their break by taking a trip to Disneyland, Hong Kong! Looks like what a great time they had there...
Hubby and Wife from Qatar
Here is a picture of the famous Qatar hubby and wife team! GM Al-modiahki and Zhu Chen. Zhu Chen was originally from China, playing for Qatar since last year Asian Games at Doha. I first met Al-modiahki at the World Junior in Brazil in 1991, then once again in Asian Junior in 1994. Actually both of them played... but the love sparks during olimpiad somewhere in the year 2000-2004 (i guess :-))) They have a daughter named Dana.

International Women and sports Conference 2007
On 30 & 31st oct 2007, I went to Berjaya Times Square and convention centre for the International women and sports conference 2007. I represented Malaysian Chess Federation for the event, together with Sufiah, zuraiha, Latifah and Esther.
There were approximately 300 delegates at the event, most of Malaysians women, representing various walks of life especially in sports. Others were delegates from Arabs countries, Bangladesh, India, Algeria, etc. We have speakers from Brazil, USA, UK, Australia and Europe.
It was a very interesting event, and it opened m y eyes to things that relates to women.
How many women involves in sports and later on turn to coaching after retire.. I think I am the few of those women. How many of us really care about sexual harassment? Or even self defense?
Hmm.... things to think about, right?
I'll post the pictures from the event soon!

Malaysia's Team Performance at Asian Indoor Games
in Round 3, Malaysia lost to Philippines 0-4. That is not what I predicted!
I know deep in my heart that Malaysia will lost to Philipinos.. But not without total lost! Something must be going wrong somewhere?
In Round 4, Malaysia was paired against Nepal, and as we all assume, we won 4-0, that is a result that made us bounce back on track...
In Round 5, Malaysia vs Mongolia. We lost to 1-3. One point was secured by Siti Zulaika where she won against Yanjiv Batzaya. And there she comes to rescue the day!
In Round 6, Pakistan vs Malaysia. We won 2.5-1.5. Mas drew with Gillani Tanveer, Anas lost to veteran Mahmood Lodhi, while the ladies both won their games.
The total score for Malaysia, 6 points from 6 rounds of play and finished 12th placed from 20 teams.
What do you guys think of their performance?
In the meantime, Gold was won by India, Silver by Vietnam, and bronze by Republic of Iran. Where is China? China with 8 points was place fifth.
