Hey tournament enthusiasts,

I know we're still basking in the gong show that was last weekend in
Shanghai. But im bored at work and did some research about
Singapore !

So , the tournament is August 8th - 9th (in singapore), the last time
Big Brother went as a team they won ! If they could do it , its
probably pretty easy to go in there and dominate which is always fun
in my books. And if that doesnt go to plan , we could just go and win
the party award again.

SO getting there: I've concocted a dirt cheap way to get there (but
requires Friday and Monday being taken off work for those who actually
have 9-5 jobs)

so Friday: Train to tianjin, fly tianjin to kuala lumpur, fly KL to
singapore ! - leave beijing around 6:00 amam get to singapore at 3:30
pm

and returning : leave at 9:00 pm , and arrive back in beijing the
following morning for 7:05 am.

this is all for 1486 RMB as of yesterday !!!!!!!!!!!!! TAX
INCLUDED !!! (+ train cost to get to tianjin, but i think thats like
only 20 kuai round trip)

now thats a pretty good deal.

anyways, im not even sure if im going yet - but several people have
exprsesed interest

aaron and his girlfriend andrea is going for sure, in fact aaron has
told me "he would love to tear sh** up in singapore" ....of course he
does , and i hope he means on the field and not anywhere else

Its still early but express your interest , opinions and grievances
here !

wow that's dirt cheap.

i urge everyone to go.

except every time i miss a day of work, i lose out on 23,548 rmb.  that means i would be losing 47,906 rmb. 

okay, i'll do it.

i prefer not to think of all the misery but of all the beauty that still remains.

Spore! Let's do that thing. Must find another travel option though,
missing two days of work will deter many people, myself included.

For those who schedule is more important than price... here's what
Singapore Air has to offer.

Friday, 4PM leave Beijing... Arrive Spore 10:15PM
Sunday, 4:55 leave Spore... Arrive Beijing 11:10PM

All for the low price of 4,320RMB.

We could look into group fares as well. Anyway, the options are
there!

Anything under RMB 1500 is ridiculously cheap, and the good news is
it's even cheaper if you train from KL to Singapore (only six hours at
the low low price of usd$9 (thanks for looking this up, Alicia!)). And
btw, Tianjin-KL ROUNDTRIP plane tickets start at RMB 545, according to
the Internet, though that doesn't include tax, so the final amount
will be closer to the mind-boggling price of RMB 978. Roundtrip.

I for one will make sure I don't have a full-time or part-time job by
early August so I can take an extra week to see southeast Asia and
perhaps join a guerilla army to topple an illegitimate government full
of corruption and malfeasance to install one that bears a yellow
smiley-face on its national flag and is full of sunshine.

make sure if you book the returning red eye flight that you book the
00:15 flight on the 10th! Otherwise you will leave sat night/sun
morning and miss all of sunday's games if you book at 00:15 on the
9th.

shanghai has a half team ready to go if we need to combo. Nads is
leading the organization... would be sweet if we could get an all
beijing squad though.
