Still reeling from Friday’s disappointing news I ventured into Itaewon for my Seoul Sunday Singles League match against league leader Wallace.

Prior to my departure Jee Yeun asks me who will I be playing. I answer “Wallace”. She says, you are Walrus. I say yeah, and I’m playing Wallace. She responds No, you are Walrus! Then I understood. Wallace and Walrus sound exactly the same in Konglish. That conversation turned out to be the highlight of my day.

Wallace was unbeatable, taking the match 16-0.  Well, I had some chances to win a leg here and there but every time I got close I managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  It was frustrating and frankly embarrassing.

In Monday night action I started out much better, going 5-1 in singles.  Followed up with an 0-6 performance in doubles which didn’t help my mood.

Onward and upward.
