COMMENTS:
The AMfa FAmily's latest NR are as follows:-

(1) cHEss pIRATE = 1189 (+32)
Gathered from 5 few competitions:-

A. 18th Kepong Juniors  ( + 46.8 )
B. 1st Summit Juniors    ( - 9.6 )
C. 4th Penang Heritage   ( - 40.0 )
D. 5th NJCC                 ( - 48.0 )
E. Insofar December     ( + 83.2 )
NETT = 32.4 + 1157 (Previous Ratings)

Note:
Participated in just 1 Unrated Event i.e. RSC Juniors


(2) hAnA = 1202 (-62)
Accumulated from 5 tournaments of which 3 are FIDE-rated:-

A. 18th Kepong Juniors                  ( + 37.193 )
B. Nf6 Juniors                               ( - 28.421 )
C. 4th Penang Heritage - Challenger ( - 35.175 )
D. 5th NJCC                                 ( - 30.439 )
E. Insofar December                      ( - 5.1754 )
NETT = (-62.0174) + 1264 = 1202

(3) AMira FAthina = 1107 (+30)
Accumulated from ONLY 1 tournament:-

A. Insofar December ( + 29.6 )
NETT = 30 + 1077

AHM (1383), NO CHANGEs. Did not take part in any competition.

Note:
It seemed that taking part in the classical format FIDE-rated events though good for exposure resulted in huge points loss. hAnA lost a massive 94.035points from 3 FIDE-rated events i.e. Nf6 Juniors, 4th Penang Heritage and 5th NJCC whilst The cHEss pIRATE dropped 88points after participating in 2 FIDE-rated events i.e. the 4th Penang Heritage City International-Challenger.

Having said that, the players' field in FIDE-rated tournaments are generally stronger. 
Hence, one would need to decide in which direction do you want to proceed i.e taking part in more National Rated events which are normally in Rapid format and generally held for 1 day only or, FIDE-rated events which are almost always classical in nature and stretches for 4days at the minimum or, a balanced approach.

For now, I suppose and logistics permitting - hAnA will take part in morec classical events whilst The cHEss pIRATE will be entering in Blitz and Rapid events.

For the record, hAnA's former team mates are rated 1433(Mok), 1427(Cecilia Tan), 1347(Iman Sofea), 1240(Allaida Siow), 1193(Esther Tang) respectively.

Their cousins' ratings are Ayesha(1119), Aqil(1291)& Arif(1213).
