IOI 2010: Day 1 & 2 (Sunday and Monday)

OMG!!! I'm soooo excited now. Catch all the action live on http://www.justin.tv/ioi2010. There's also a live scoreboard and Gh is doing well. One of our contestants has answered one question is in the 7th position. I hope he is able to continue like this and answer all the 3 other questions. I'm so excited for him!!!

To all of you who don't know what's happening, I'm in Canada for IOI 2010 (www.ioi2010.org) and today is Competition Day 1. There will be two competition days and the contestants will have 4 tasks, algorithmic in nature, to solve within 5 hours, for each day. Our contestants this year are Elias Awudu, Jonathan Mishiame and Cecil Arthur. There are 83 countries from all over the world representing, with over 300 contestants.

So we are still waiting for the contest to be over with.

Yesterday was boring. I was soo jetlagged yesterday, soo sleepy, soo tired. We had the opening ceremony at Waterloo Recreational Centre. It was kinda fun, with performances from Waterloo Cheerleaders, Waterloo's All Male Acapella Band and others. But after that, the rest of the day was boring. Francis and I went to the mall briefly, to buy a multi-socket. The people just kept tossing us...how can a multi-socket be in the Health and Beauty section of a store, and not in Electronics??? Funny init? But we found one there, and also in Travel, but not in Electronics. Aside that, the mall dey be waaa..can't wait to go shopping (Ma pls don't say anything). Maybe I'll go today after the competition.

Waterloo is really nice (Me tu ky3 ma Canada - borrowing this line from Nana Osbey Don Capo Cheers...check him out from facebook...lol). Yesterday, I finally saw some people outside of the University Campus. But I guess it is not strange that I hardly see people outside, considering the fact that Canada has the second largest landmass but a relatively small population.

So right now, I'm in the Cafeteria, sipping some Coke (Coca-Cola and not coke), blogging, facebooking, gmailing, and waiting with all the other leaders for some clarification requests from the contestants, if they have any, whiles the competition goes on. Catch you all later!

I'm out!
