KMB - KYUEM Taekwondo...Friendly?

The cat's out of the bag. The most discreetly organized college event EVER, the KYUEM-KMB Taekwondo Friendly, was quickly disposed of with little bloodshed and fuss at the MPH, neatly slotted in between the End of Classes and the General Rush to Parents' or Boyfriends' Cars and the ICAW Family Day. Still, it was well supported, with parochial house diffences excised for that one resounding holler. Good job.

A very bloody event indeed, sans the blood. Hazwan and Tasha were refereeing, with Tasha being promoted to head referee once only one sparring ring was required. KMB brought with them a formidable-looking contigent, who promptly made a beeline to the cafeteria. The intelligence we have gathered on KMB living conditions vis-a-vis KYUEM can get us slapped with a libel suit, so let's stop worrying why they're eating brick-hard fish and sharing power outlets next to the toilets and get on with our air-conditioned, Expat-taught, Satuday-classed daily lives.

Results: In an all-KYUEM final Benjamin Wong of Topaz...no, no, here I go again, no house feelings...beat Mohd Akmal @ Batu in the over-55kg category while Khel was soundly whipped by his KMB opponent in the under-55. Grace Tan (White Belt!) trounced her KMB (Brown Belt) opponent while over-55kg was an all-KMB affair.

At 5pm, it was declared over, in the inauspicious setting of the little Bicycle Machines landing above the MPH, as the ICAW people had booked it for the Games. And so ended a quiet event with the loudest cheers.
