Sorry to hear Sampsa, hope you get better quickly.
Maybe your body thinks it's still in HK?![]()
2008 - AOCC WW #2 | MOA EU #8 | GOOC WW #1
2009 - GOOC WW #3 | MOA EU #3 | MOA WW #1 | GB TweaKing #6 | ASUS ROG OCS #2
2010 - MOA EU #1 | GOOC EU #13 | MOA WW #1
2011 - MOA EU #4 | MOA WW #?
My body got one hell of a shock too. From 36'C in HK to 6.5'C in Australia when I arrived - it sucked. After a solid 12hr sleep I feel much better
I ended up drinking all night and getting on the plane in a pretty average state. The only way I avoided the hangover was by just keeping drinking - not ideal![]()
Thank fully I was never sick

1. The first rule of Bench Club is, you do not talk about Bench Club
2. The second rule of Bench Club is, you do not talk about Bench Club
3. If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the the benching is over
4. No bummers in the batcave, apart from unkie dave
5. One Bench at a time
6. No air, no water
7. Benching will go on as long as they have to
8. If this is your first night at Bench Club, you have to Bench
Very nice event and very nice people. True friendship spirit during the event.
Don't mention names because don't want to forget any
This was our first competition and we liked it very much. Very nice organization. Congratz to VR-Zone staff (Terence and the others)
Congrat also to all participants especially China the Champions
15 hours inside a plane is to much
