NCG at Canberra 2010

About a few days back I went to Canberra for National conference and Games (NCG). NCG is basically an annual event where the Malaysians from various states in Australia congregate together and try to kick each other's asses trying to solve their disputes in games. 


There are several games. This yr, South Australia (SA) is sending participants for rugby, netball, badminton, table tennis, bowling, basketball male, tennis, frisbee, squash and futsal. 


And this yr, SA really made me proud. 


But before goin into that, let's talk about the journey. 

The Journey. 

Basicaly, there were about 30 of us pushing off via car. So there were 7 cars. 7 cars, and a 14 hour journey ahead of us. The male drivers were limited. So there fore, everyone was in overdrive that night. We pushed of at about 11 in the morning, only to arrive at about 3am the next morning at Canberra, just in time to catch the World Cup final. woot2. 


Finals...Spain won. Demm. I was rooting for Holland.. But Spain is my team as well. so...


Anyway, the journey was very2 tiring, but fun. Of course, there were a few bums up fronts who were racing each other and leaving us at the back. The two cars up front were driving about, what, like 120 to 140 when the rest are just driving about 100 on the foggy highway. In the end we all made it. Safe and sound, (and cold. Canberra's bloody freezing!!). 

NCG at Canberra. 

Basically, there is only one word to summarise the NCG at Canberra this year..

SERABUT...

The committee macam main2. There were aspects of the event that were not thought out properly. The food was not up to par. The Malaysian Night was scrappy. Possibly due to the regulation of funds by the MSD (Biasala, MSD dah miskin). 


And don't forget the rugby commotion....


Padang takleh pakai. Kena cari padang lain on the day of the match. Bla2. Paramedic takde ice. Paan injured kot. grr. 

But every side has two coins.. 

This year, SA improved drastically compared to last year. We won more medals and we climbed up higher than last year in the overall points. 


Gold for basketball. Bronze for netball, rugby (!) and frisbee (!!). Silver for tennis. Bowling dapat gold and silver. 

But sad..so sad..

Remember guys? Kalau Frisbee menang dgn VIC, dapat silver. (demm u vic). Tapi tie dgn vic, pastu kalau by two point difference (Demm again VIC). Nasib baik rugby dapat kalahkan VIC, (padan muke wakakakaka mampos kau lerr vic. Cam sial berlagak nk mapuh pastu tak dapek menang.). Tapi tu ah. Rugi2. Silap2 kalau menang frisbee tu dah dapat third dah overall. Ni dapat fourth. Pastu third place.. VIC!! (demm ah korang ni bila mau mapuhh ni. wakakaka). 


But sad so sad pon, we move on. SA is better this year. Stronger on all counts. 

And lets not forget..

The supporters, who are behind us every step of the way. 

The ruggers, who played with their life and came out the other side in good form. (Lupekan je Sydney tu. ).

The bowlers, first time participating, and brought home the gold. 

And then there were newcomers. Acees brought his three beautiful girls. (OK technically only one of them was his. But lagi dua tu cute pee. *Nabila*!! *Ainil*!!). 

And we kept cool the whole way round. We were dignified. Relaxed. We were different from the rest. We were united. We were South Australian. And we love it that way. 

Next year guys. Next year. We'll kick the crap out of em and show em who is who. 

We're cool all the way. 

Let's go SA. Let's go..
