THE JOHOR BAHRU PSKPP CHESS COMPETITION 2023

   18TH NOVEMBER 2023     ~ After the first training session for the Johor Bahru teachers Chess Team [READ HERE], (suddenly) there was this district level tournament held with real medals. This time, the teachers assembled at SK Kampung Pasir on Friday morning to compete and be selected for Johor Bahru team for state level competition next month.

 

I, as expected, did not get any medal but the most important thing was that I had made a few new friends after the two sessions. We shall be meeting again soon either for a training session (if there is any) or the real competition.

THE BREAKFAST SESSION BEFORE THE CHESS COMPETITION

We were going to take part in a chess competition that was scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m. so I set a breakfast date with an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti, Mr. Hamzah Hamdan. The chosen place was Roti Canai Warung Agil which was near the competition venue, SK Kampung Pasir.

Another friend, Mt. Iskandar Almahdi, was also there - the more the merrier.

THE VERDICT: The Roti Canai [a.k.a Paratha] was thicker and bigger and there were a variety of gravy to choose to complement the flat bread. I will not hesitate to make a comeback especially if I am around the area of Kampung Pasir. Thanks Mr. Iskandar for suggesting the place. We should go and try other food in other stalls in the same area one day.

CENTRALIZED TRAINING FOR JOHOR BAHRU CHESS TEAM 2014

A 3-day centralized training is held from 16-18th February 2014 at SK Kampung Pasir, Johor Bahru. This is to prepare them for the upcoming state level tournament that is going to take place starting this Thursday in Batu Pahat. I guess I will be seeing more of these people these few days.
