[832] Of Malay College lost to Vajiravudh
I was in Bangkok and had the opportunity to witness the 45th traditional rugby match between Malay College of Malaysia and Vajiravudh College of Thailand. Though MC fought valiantly, we lost 14 - 5.

VC made 3 kicks and one try while MC managed a try. The closest gap occurred in the first half; VC 6 - 5 MC. We could have taken the lead right after gaining that 5 points but the ball flew in the wrong direction and hence, we failed to garner 2 more points. Whatever it was, that one try was pure ecstasy. I shouted so hard that I lost my voice. More importantly, I believe for this particular match, just like others that watched the match on a cloudy Saturday evening, there is no shame in losing.

While there, I didn't pass on the chance to roam around the magnificent College. And the best thing is - especially for the students - it's situated about half an hour drive time away from the heart of Bangkok.

The goal was taken during the duration of the match. More pictures of Bangkok (and Thai chicks! LOL! I've changed my mind. I don't want to marry a tree any more. I prefer Thai girls to trees now!) to come throughout this week and probably the next.
