My proud victory!

World Cup 2010 has just come to an end, and so has the World Cup challenge organised by staff and students in the institute. Participants had to face two challenges. The first was to predict the score of each game, while the second was to predict the qualifying teams in each round all the way to the final.

There were around 40 participants... from students to postdocs to professors... and I was ranked at 7th in the score-prediction challenge! Not bad for someone who doesn't know much about football, huh? :p

As for the second challenge, well, guess what?!

I have this sitting proudly in my office:



Yes.......

...because.....

....I was at the.....

*drumroll please*

....ahem...

BOTTOM place!!!

The winner managed to score 140 points in this challenge while I only managed a mere 18 points.... how I wished I had the psychic octopus :p

Had supported Argentina all the way..... too bad they lost to Germany....

Anyway, I was awarded with that cute trophy for my 'victory'.... some of my labmates are quite envious of my trophy! :p

Guess who 'won' the bottom place in the score-prediction challenge?!

It was 'won' by another Malaysian student!

Yes, we are definitely dominating there. Well, now we know why we have never qualified for the world cup :p
