It's soccer in the US!

今晩は, Makie-desu!


For the past few weeks, Ubaydah has been participating in a soccer tournament (yes, it's called soccer instead of football in the United States). The tournament is actually the Cal Poly Pomona Intramural soccer league. His team, 'Camtat' (for non-Malay speakers, please don't ask what it means) has gone through the group stage and is now in the play-off.  Here's a summary of his team's results in the group stage:


Game 1: 5-1 (W)
Game 2: 5-3 (W)
Game 3: 9-3 (W)
Game 4: 7-0 (W)


So far, they've won all games and is currently ranked #1 in their group. Ubaydah actually made the first team (even though his performances haven't been that consistent). 


Guess what position Ubaydah's playing?

As you may have already guessed, he's the goalkeeper. His teammates are mostly Malaysian, one Japanese, one from India, and one Mexican American.


In term of size and height, Ubaydah's team may be the smallest (so far). However, they did manage to win against bigger and stronger opponents (who are mostly Americans) using quick passes and great positioning. 


The play-off is in two weeks time and they will then fight against stronger and faster opponents. 


All the best to Camtat.

It's May already???

Helloooo~~

Haruhi-desu!

Spring time is about to meet an end. So what does that means?

Graduation time!!!

A lot of Ubaydah's friends are going to graduate here in Cal Poly Pomona including his 'significant other'~ =P

They are either going back to Malaysia, looking for a job here in the United States, or furthering their studies. I think all three choices have their own merits so it doesn't really matter what they decide to choose.

Due to this, there may be a few people who will move into Ubaydah's place. Because of this, Ubaydah cleaned and reorganized his room so that other people can move in. The room that was made a sanctuary by Ubaydah is going to have visitors soon. Therefore, Ubaydah moved some stuff around and made a little nook for himself.

The room was his own for a while now. So he has a LOT of stuff to move around. He told me that it wasn't easy finding places and spaces to put his stuff but he managed to do it. The room can now be occupied by two or even three people now. The pictures that you saw on top was actually only half of the whole room.

Good job there! =)

Speaking of graduation, Ubaydah's probably going to graduate next Spring or at least a quarter before next Spring. He's currently working hard on his research and hopefully he can get his name on at least two published scientific research articles before he graduates.

If you are graduating this quarter (or the Summer *wink*), all the best and hold on okay! The efforts will be worth it! =)

頑張って!!!
