Reunion =>

Today's match at Taman Megah was a reunion where the four of us, Xian Yang, philip, Hua Jen and Me had a match....so it was 10am in the morning...but since we waited for each other, we only started our playing at 10:30am....



We started stretching and warm up....and i had stroke with Xian Yang first, then later philip came in and warm up and i ask xian yang to go over and stroke wtih hua jen, meanwhile i stroke with philip...and when i was stroking...i knew that this match wouldnt be an easy match....so then we finally got warmed up...Haha !!!!! And then we started our first match of the day, which was Doubles....and we saw our senior, Tshek Zhen...as usual...he's still so good....


Featured Pairs:
1) Xian Yang and Philip
2) Hua Jen and Zhi Wei



The first game:
Hua Jen and i wasnt on form yet...so we took some time to get our feel meanwhile Xian Yang has Philip backing him up...so we went down in the first game with the score 11-21


The second game:
We got back up and found out their weaknesses...there were many exciting rallies in it...sorry there was no pics for that because there were only four of us...and then we managed to secure the second game and it was a bit of luck there as Xian Yang created many mistakes in there....the score was 21-16


The third game:
The third game was a thriller and we got some problem here...Hua Jen's service was a bit shaky...so philip managed to break the seal....and my smashes were having some problems...especially the taps...Haha something like MSSD 2007...hehe...and we went down to the Xian Yang-Philip pair with the score 13-21

Confirmation score: 11-21, 21-16, 13-21


Eventhough we lost the match...it was very enjoyin too...^^



And then after that, we took a break...and then the daunting match has finally come !!! It's the match between Philip and Zhi Wei !!!!


The Match of Pride Begins !!!
Philip and Zhi Wei!!!!


The match was sizzling hot when there were many of the seniors watching the match, including the Taman Megah Drink seller, Uncle !!!! He was watching me playing...Here are the report for the games...


The first game:
In the beginning, the score was exciting where it was coming up 1 by 1...and i was still at full energy and managed to keep up the pace set up by Philip...but things changed in the middle of the game...Philip managed to catch up after i made 2 mistakes...causing him to take over the lead at the score 10-7....and then i was not able to turn over the game and went down 14-21...


The second game:
The second game was a fightback for me....I managed to secure this game and it was quite a tough match here where my stamina was almost draining....fortunately with Philip's mistakes with all the shuttles going out...i managed to win the second game with the score 21-13...it was really tough when my smashes weren't that accurate and most of them were wrist smashes....


The third game(rubber game):
This was the most exciting match when many audience sat down and watch the match...Initially in the beginning i lead 2-0...but then it was taken over by philip later on and it was very tiring as his way of playing was rallying...which drain my stamina a lot...and basically i'm an Attacking Player...so it was a tough fight there...and my smashes couldn't kill him...and i got no choice but to play rally with him too...and then it was 14-7...and i tot i will lose...and then i did not give up...i tried to fight back with him and managed to catch up with the score 18-19 and my net mistakes made it 18-20...


"Philip to serve !!! Match point!!!"


The moments have come...i tried to get point 19...and when he served, i gave him a net shot and luckily it was tight and it could not be retrieved....and the score was 19-20...WHOA...scary nyer...and then i did a High Serve...and thanks to my High Serve...it was out...LOL !!! Haha and Philip won the match 21-19...hehe....eventhough i lost, but i knew it was a good match....


Confirmation score: 14-21, 21-13, 19-21


Mistakes made by Zhi Wei:
1) Net shot(always hit the frame)
2) Footwork(slow still)
3) Smashes(Always cant do full smash from backcourt, only managed to do wrist smash...half court/ 3/4 court only can do full smash)
4) Stamina(always drain up in the end of 2nd game and 3rd game)



Phew...and that was the match for the match of reunion...and then Hua Jen and Xian Yang played singles...and Xian Yang managed to win Hua Jen....



When we were about to leave, one of the Uncle came over and ask for a game with me...and he challenged me...guess what...i LOst !!! The uncle's playing style is rallying and pushing the opponent...he was trying to train my accuracy...which is very crucial and important in badminton...and he took half court and i have to play full court...

Here's the result: 2-21, 1-21(hehe)


And then Philip asked for challenge...and he managed to get 3 points from the uncle....Philip is tall and he has long legs...so he's a very stable player...

Score: 1 game only(3-21)


And he beat my challenge...haha !!!!



And that was for the day......



And we went out for lunch...and it was expensive...cant believe mixed rice was that expensive...even AsiaCafe was cheaper.....LOL !!!!



After eating, Philip, Hua Jen and I went to check out the new badminton shop "pro X" and it was quite nice...the racket...everything...and i changed my grip there...well...tried the grip...weird feeling...not used to it...anyways...gonna use it still, since its changed...




That's all for today folks !!!!
