mentally and physically drained

Hello people,
Just came back from Taiwan and it was a blast! from the players perspective i mean. In terms of organisation, things could have been a lot better.
My team, team xtioneers consisting of Paul, Rashid, Gary, Redza, Danny, Catherine and myself, played our heart out and proud to say we managed to scramble thru to the quarters. sad to say, that even tho we managed to win one game and had two draws, we still did not qualify to the semis. from our group, datis from iran managed o make it to the semis, kudos to them obviously.
We had made really good friends and renewed old acquaintances. Renewed acquaintances with Toon and Eddy from Thailand, Bryon, Deborah and Steven from Dye, Jabba, Toby, Ulrich and Wilfred of the Euro Refs and made new friends with Rex, Dale, Raj, Joyce, Michelle from Taiwan and a lot more whom i can't recall. These people made my time there extra special.
Had dinner with the people from Dye on Saturday and they were really nice people, then had dinner with some of the guys from thailand and had dinner with some people from taiwan on monday.
Also got to know Joyce and Michelle, both malaysians who are studying in taiwan who became our translator, tour guide and friend. Your time with us was invaluable.
Malaysian hospitality even in taiwan was at its best. Goes to show that we malaysians really are a very hospitable bunch of people wherever we are!
