Tomorrow is new year’s eve and there are two important reminders to chess fans:-
Chessmate Academy Scholarship
You may have already realised by now with the big banner logo I’m displaying at the right side of this blog, I’m a big supporter of this program. Granted that it is good marketing to offer something free to publicise the chess centre(Magic Tree Child Development Sdn Bhd). Still, I’ll support anything that is beneficial to scholastic chess in Malaysia.
The Punisher dvdrip Tomorrow (31st Dec) is the last day to submit your entry for this chess scholarship.
2009 New Year Blitz
Also don’t forget that tomorrow there will be a countdown to the new year with Blitz at OUG.
Contact Jax Tham (013-332280)to pre-register or be there at the centre in OUG after 5pm. The games will start at 8.30pm. .
Venue: Excel Chess Academy (26A,Jln Hujan Emas 4)

Just received the invoice for GilaChess.com and Maribelajar.com webhosting. The billed amount comes out to RM 700++ !! Shocker. I totally forgot about it until Exabyte shut down my MariBelajar domain just now. GilaChess.com is next on the chopping block as it is set to expire on 31st Dec. With my extra spendings on the 22″ monitor, wireless keyboard+mouse and just now getting the PDA phone – I am quite broke.
Bad budgeting on my part.
I need to think of ways of generating more income to keep this “hobby” of maintaing chess website running.

Enough of just talking about “I want this or that PDA”!. I’m getting this from Masros 2nd hand. It’s better than the iPaq 2200 because it’s a PDA as well as a phone. My current Sony Ericson phone is bad and I’ve frequently miss calls because of it.
The CPU is a little slow at 195 Mhz but that’s a good thing as most reviews I read about this PDA phone is that it’s very stable and performance is very smooth and surprisingly faster than some O2 Atom phones. Anyway overclocking the CPU for this PDA is no problem if I really need to.
Best of all, it can run the slew of Pocket PC chess software including Pocket Fritz 3. Check out Masros screenshots as proof.
Haven’t got it yet. Going out to the bank NOW to make payments. Masros, don’t sell this phone yet,
ok ??!!!
Update:
Just banked in the money to Masros as payment. Should be hetting this in 2 or 3 days time. (Faster if PosLaju’s promise of “Dijamin Sampai Esok” holds true)
I also see that Masros has updated his blog.
Ok. Masros is already sending it via Pos Laju. 50% mine already
