I joined the MSSCF to go, departing at 0330. I didn't sleep before and thought I could do it in the bus. Who knows the seats are so uncomfortable =.=
We reached Nottingham at about 0730, where we saw buses and buses parked. The university itself is very campus-based, as opposed to mine which has a city campus. There's no life on university grounds; as in, shops, bars etc. They only have halls of residences, schools, tar roads, greens and a 1.97km circumference lake. Anything more than that, you will need to go to town, which is unreachable via your legs. You have to take the bus.

I didn't get to go to town because I don't really have much time. I watched the games and supported the Cardiff red dragons! Most games run simultaneously, so I only get to watch badminton and basketball because from where I am, I get a very good view of both!
I will wait for Yannie to upload the pictures on her camera; she took more pictures of the campus. Then I steal them :D
Men's Double; on the right- Team Cardiff!
I spot Daniel and Vincent. Vincent won the men's single!
Pictures around the campus.

Later in the evening, it was nearing the finals for most games. After witnessing Vincent's nice victory, I went to cheer for basketball. Cardiff lost and placed fourth.
I'm telling you, I never thought I'd like to watch basketball. It is SOOO IDAMNGOOD!
Mom says it's because it's LIVE, so naturally it's more intense. Initially I don't know anything about basketball apart from the you-have-to-throw-the-orange-ball-into-the-hoop. I watched enough matches and had guidance from JooLian to now understand the mechanism! I cheered like mad; I really screamed. Hahaa. Now my throat feels funny XP
Yes, I met JooLian! Like, finally! LOL.
I have to say though, the final isn't as nice to watch as the semis. I expect to see a lot of showdown in the finals but it didn't turn out like that. But, it is still so nice to watch!!
Team University of Manchester!
Team Imperial College London!
MVP! <3 <3 <3
Spot the crowd and the unmoving substitute players of Imperial College!
Manchester has the skills and precision whereas Imperial has a very uniformed height and good defence. Hahaa! I like how the substitute players of Imperial just stands there. Looked so well-trained! :D
The champion is University of Manchester! So awesome <3
Overall champion is none other than the host, University of Nottingham themselves. Basketball wise they placed third and as for badminton, I only know they got thrashed very early and was out of the competition before we know it. Hahaa.
MVP is ♥
