Resolution Year 2009

Year 2008 has come to an end...many things happened in year 2008...Here's a recap of Year 2008...



In studies, i took up SAM(South Australian Matriculation) at Taylors University College...tough course after all...had some rough times there...didn't manage to get good results...but managed to graduate with a Pass....



In relationship/love, I had crushes for many people, but for those in deep, there are many...among the hurtful one was a classmate of mine in SAM(i don't think it's necessary to announce the name here)...Had a competitor in class too...fell out at last and he won...anyways, hope u 2 can stay on happy forever...



On the other hand, moving on leaving the past behind, i fell for this girl(Don't want to mention the name) Had a small crush at first when i first saw her back image....I kept looking out at the window every friday, trying to see her face...Until at last, there's once where i managed to see her face, and then i found out that she was my friend's classmate...really a small world, and so we started to chat with each other and my feelings started to fall deeply for her...sooner it went deeper and eventually i confessed to her...



I got rejected by her during Prom Night...Eventhough i was rejected for certain reasons(don't want to mention), but i insisted to stay on and go after her, why? Because she's someone special, makes her outstanding and a person i can go along well with...



In Badminton, it was a year of Ups and Downs...I experienced inconsistency, which gave everybody disappointments when they had high expectations on me...I did not improve much within this year and was not able to make the cut...



Left MBA at 2008, currently in Nusa...Lost in NVBA Rakan Muda Touurnament(first round singles and doubles), lost in Sunway Open(singles first round; doubles 2nd round)...But did managed to get 2nd forr DJROA badminton tournament somehow...





My resolutions for Year 2009:

1) Do well in academics/studies

2) Achieve state level or even higher in Badminton

3) Find someone i truly love(better if it would be her)




To all readers, Happy New Year !

Had badminton with friends today at taman megah...



Had singles with Chew...



Won him in straight sets....(sort of forgot the score), if not mistaken the score was 21-18, 21-10



Had singles with Yi Han...



Score was 10-21, 21-19, 21-14



Was a rough and tough match actually, match of endurance...



First game:
I wasn't much geared up in the first game...made many mistakes such as Out and main mistake among all is the Movement...there's the footwork, but the reaction is slow...which causes the footwork to be slow too....and i got outplayed in the first game 10-21


Second game:
Managed to pull off a good start...leading at first, but he managed to catch up and took back the lead...the match was full of pressure...Yelled and shouted a lot...(scared the hell out of other ppl at Taman Megah)...Put in a lot of attacking play and managed to get the upper hand and won 2nd game with the score 21-19 (close)


Third Game:
Both played a very intense and tiring match...full of rallies...Clear all around the corner of the court...Towards the end of the game, i decided to put an ALL-OUT by attacking my opponent and managed to pull of a sensational but tiring win with the score 21-14...



Lay down on the floor and DEAD for that few minutes...



Thanks for ur support throughout the whole match Wern Lin !



And also, thinking of you makes me motivated...

Accomplishment

I finally finished working.....


I finally obtained freedom once again....

A song from a drama 幸福的抉擇




我堅持的都值得堅持嗎
我所相信的就是真的嗎
如果我趕追求我就敢擁有嗎
而如果都算了不要呢
或許吧或許我永遠都不會遇見他
或許吧或許我太天真了吧


屬於我的昨天之前的結局 我決定我的決定
屬於我的明天之後的憧憬 我迷信我的迷信
屬於我們點點滴滴的傷心 我們要各自忘記
屬於我們閃閃發亮的愛情 我們再一起努力


屬於風的那就去飛翔吧
屬於海洋的那就洶湧吧
屬於我們的愛 該來的就來吧為什麼不敢呢 不要呢？


是他吧 命中早就注定了的那個他
是他吧他原來就在這裡啊


屬於我的昨天之前的結局 我決定我的決定
屬於我的明天之後的憧憬我迷信我的迷信
屬於我們點點滴滴的傷心 我們要各自忘記
屬於我們閃閃發亮的愛情 我們再一起努力

Went training today...


Made a new friend, his name is Chun Seang....


Played singles with him...got sapu-ed 2-7


And then played singles with coach Doni, got thrashed 21-3(im the one with only 3 points...LMAO)


After the match, Coach Doni gave me some advice and pointed out my mistakes...


My main cause is my speed...i'm SLOW...


In footwork and strokes, there are 5 factors...


Footwork:
1) U will feel tiredness when u first started doing shadow footwook

2) U will feel ur leg is much stronger...

3) U will feel ur speed has increased...

4) U will feel that u got ur pace increased

5) World class speed : Explosive




Strokes:
1) U just want to pass all the shots over the net

2) U aim for the height of the shuttle at the net

3) Aim for accuracy

4) Pace/Speed of stroke

5) Trick Shots



I finally understood what coach Doni told me...it was really useful...thank you Coach

Irreplaceable

Today, while at Hush Puppies, i was folding clothes and busy entertaining customers....



Suddenly, i saw someone familiar holding a guy's hand, and she is Serene....someone i had crush on long time ago...



We chat for a short moment and she intro-ed her bf to me...



Somehow, i have those feelings of missing her, but this kind of feelings could not replace the feelings i have for Her



Because...



She is Irreplaceable

4 more working days

Just 4 more working days and the chains surrounding me will break...



That's the time I will roar out loudly...



My freedom, finally i got it back, spread the wings wide open and gush up into the air



Between 1st to 4th Jan, please make appointments with me =)



On 5th january 2009, i will be starting Diploma in Construction Management at Taylors College, PJ



Enjoy ur hols ex-SAM-ers that are waiting for their Uni to start

Working on Christmas day...


folded so many clothes today T_T....like orang gila...


Ching Yee and bf came and look for me (Thanks for paying a visit)


Lindley and Ken came over too (Thanks to you 2 peeps ^^)


Went to window shop a while after work...saw many beautiful clothes OMG !!!


Gonna get them soon

People !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White Christmas

I sent the Christmas present to her



It was a snowglobe with music in it....



She loved it and i was happy....



According to her, she accidentally broke one of the snowglobe long time ago, but with a new one presented by me, she was happy that she received one =)



I told her that it will be more meaningful if i gave it to her personally and she told me....



"It will be more meaningful if you give it to me during 12 am personally...Haha joking only =) "



I knoew i wouldn't be able to give it to her personally due to my work, so i only can send to her through courier post....



I couldn't make her Christmas meaningful by spending time hanging out with her and giving her sweet memories and a memorable Christmas



I wish that i can make things better and give her memorable memories



And i just experienced lonely Christmas countdown without friends this year, for the first time =(

Aussie dudes

Last Sunday, i went to Nusa for training to replace the class i should have went on Thursday...



As usual, i met the usual players around...



Sunday was hardcore training for me...15 sets of shuttledrills? XD that's why my back is aching badly >.<



That day was the last day where Jac and Jamie train as they are heading back to Australia next Tuesday(23/12/08)



Played many games and sparred with them, partnered Jac for Doubles...



Those moments were really great ! Made many new friends there too...got to know those coaches better and closer to them...i start to feel the warmth =)



Will miss u 2 buds



Hope you guys will come back and train again during Breaks

My whole body is aching after training yesterday...



Backache, Thigh Muscle Ache and Waist Ache...



This morning went to play badminton, played offensive frequently....It's aching still, but worse? Affected my performance and movement somehow T_T



I need to recover fast and achieve what i have not done

Shit happens...


I only realised that I did not bring my wallet to work when i reached my working place....

Decisions

Went to Taylors...took my results...Talked to TBS counsellors...they recommended me to do a 4 months bridging foundation in business before entering to the Degree....



After many advices from relatives, counsellors and even people in this field, I think i am already slowly start to like business....



At the same time, while i was reading newspaper, i read through this article where Malaysian Shooter Gold Medalist said...



"You do not need to forsake sports for studies, you can do it together and excel in both...."



This quote motivated me to study hard and work hard in badminton....I guess i should not disappoint anybody anymore...It was a rough year for me in SAM and badminton....


Meanwhile, preparing a very memorable Christmas for you....



Year 2009, i will make it there !!!!

After getting my SACE results, I was happy for a short moment, but soon turned out to be bad...I only got 57.95 for my TER and i already failed my requirements to enter Monash University...



She got 91.30 for her TER, compared to me, i'm nothing but a piece of Junk...how will you accept me which such TER i scored....



In work, got bombarded by Supervisor, because i asked my supervisor about my pay....I start to hate the job i'm working now...I couldn't corperate with my Supervisor, i feel that i can't really accept his ideas or style of working....



For the moment, I'm really confused, supposed to go training this morning, but got screwed up by family yesterday night, ended up that now i have to go and search for Uni's so early...



I admit that this is not fun, and I'm really lost...For the moment...I really feel like isolating myself out of this world...Be quiet for a moment and think carefully for other alternative...

The words that brought me up till today

From the day i took up the racquet when i was 14, my coaches gave me words of encouragement to make me a better player and motivate me to improve to the extra miles...



When i was 14, my coach Audrey from PBA told me....

"Hold your racquet like this boy, that's the right way to smash"

At that time, i just started training for only 4 times a month?



I improved slowly and went on to another coach in PBA...


This time she told me...


"The way this boy hold his racquet was wrong..."


I heard that comment and made me change the way i hold my racquet grip. Everyday i will practice holding the racquet grip in the correct way and i did it !


1 year later, i changed to MBA Academy at Taman Megah...


The coach that coached me that time was Marylin....


She was fierce but she did that for our own benefits....


"Don't slack !!! Why curi tulang ar? Want die ar? Later do pumping and sit ups..."


Those were the moments where she made me become a tougher player with better physical....


Soon, after the departure of Marilyn, another coach named Teng Yung took over...


He taught me how to push in the best position, where it is known as World Class Doubles Push. I learned from him and he was a joyous person, indeed he always teases me with..


"Wa...your smash very POWDERFUL !!!" lols =_="


And soon, i met another coach, Andrew Chang and Kah Shin....


Andrew helped me in a major part of my badminton, especially physically and mentally...


Kah Shin on the other hand was with words of advice and the correct way to play the strokes...


This is what andrew told me during the 1 month training stint..


"You can't follow exactly a player's strokes, but you can follow his style of play...You cannot exactly follow the way Lee Chong Wei plays, but you can follow his style..."


"Wa, pakai macam Chong Wei...eh sorry la, it's Zhi Wei XD"


"1 mistake, 1 point !"


"You are just producing 70% of your speed, 110% of your effort is what i want..."


"I can give you all the knowledge i have, but if you don't put in any effort, it will turn out to be useless..."


"Tahan, never give up...hold on yourself to the last shuttle !"


"Keep the rally alive, don't let the shuttle fall on the floor"


Later on, i met Jia Jin in MBA...he thought me many new strokes, though he didn't give much word of advice...


He taught me to do "Bei Dong", slicing net, Jump Smash and lots more....to make me a player which is good in besides physical and also in strokes....



After that, i quit MBA and joined Nusa Mahsuri, where Wern Lin asked me to join...(Previously i thought of joining Setia Academy)



I met 2 new coaches, they are Coach Doni and Coach Zul...


Though i'm new there, Coach Zul gave me advices too...he said...


"Focus pada bola, kalau tak boleh buat perfect shot, masukkan bola saja, jangan biar dia mati"


Another advice that Coach Doni gave was, though i'm just under him today was...


"Ingat apa yang saya ajar kamu hari ini, Tiga perkara penting...Ingat apa yang kamu sudah belajar dan jangan lupa, gunakan-nya, dan hormati orang lain"


It really give me reflection of myself that i'm not a very disciplined player, so i will take on his advice...He even taught me how to play a good doubles game and Singles game....He even told me the proper way to smash, the 3 methods....


I'm very grateful that i can reach my level today, but i will not stop here, I will move on and make myself better than today...




"Leaving the past behind and Look ahead the future"

I could not defend myself against that customer...



She counterattacked me...



I lost in that argument with her....



Deng....

Sometimes, i just don't know how to pick up that confidence i had in the past...



The confidence to do certain things...



The confidence to take up a challenge and face it bravely...



The confidence to express feelings towards others...



The confidence to speak like a person full of confidence...



I just thought back how did i do all those in the past, yet now i couldn't do so....Just making me a small little guy in a big big world...



I just seeemed kinda stuck in my situation...in fact for love and badminton....both of it...sometimes in life too....



I need to find something that can bring my confidence back

Badminton was fun today...did pretty well on doubles(i dunno whether is it called good or not)



Singles was kinda bad...i played badly and my heavy foot made me the SLOW-MO



Recorded some clips of my play today...Enjoyed watching them in a way...somehow also spotted some mistakes...



Winning isn't everything sometimes, Losing isn't bad either, As long you learn and experience from your mistake, you will become a better player in the future....




I started to understand this theory finally...I will train hard further on, find out my mistakes and become a better player...



Target? Oh come on, at least State level...

Resuming...

Will be going for some badminton game tomorrow....



After so long, finally there's break from work to go and have some fun...



Try to perform at top condition...

Worked today, had great time with shirley, carmen and her friends....



Been working for 11 days now, and yet, I start to miss her slightly....



Have not seen her for almost a month since the day....



I wonder how is she doing now, memories flashbacked in my mind and i started smiling while enjoying the moments we spent together...



I hope we can meet again or hang out together during these hols(I dont care even if im working)....

I woke up with excitement to go for training today..



Dad allowed me to use sis's car...



Drove to training and found out that there was no one there....



And i just realised that i got FFK-ed today =_="

Failed

Plan A and Plan B failed....



"I cannot give up my job and focus on training and advising the school team"



My mum and sis told me this morning...



It was pretty hard to accept it in a certain way, as i planned to resign from my job on the 28th of December, but it turned out to be completely different...



The initial plans i made, Plan A and B failed....



Now i have to work and train and even advise the school team at the same time...I believe things can be done simultaneously, but with 3?



A new plan has to be made in order to go along well with my training time, working time and team advisor time...



It's really tough to make a 3-in-1

The days are now tougher at working...



Been blogging short posts lately...



Well, there's seriously nothing much to tell about my working place....since i already mentioned it previously, it's about the same...



Stomach feeling better, showing good signs...



Ready to go for training everytime...



Making a resolution for year 2009, the year to come(wish it will be a lucky one)

Went back to work today, supervisor told me that i have a weak body resistance, which means weak body immune system...



Thought back about the food poisoning incident that just happened recently, it sort of "pulled" down my confidence of playing my favourite sport, Badminton...



I wanted to go training on Thurs and Today morning, but sadly...Obstacles always happen to test my endurance and passion...



On thursday, i threw out 1 hour before i woke up to prepare for training and had fever when i was about to leave the house...so training was cancelled and called it a day...



On Saturday morning(today), i woke up early in the morning to fetch my sis to Taman Connaught in Cheras and wanted to head to training directly...but when halfway to the training centre, my stomach had some ache and made me changed my mind, so i decided to head home and rest before i can go to work....



I did some light workout at home to keep up my fitness and took a light nap before heading to work, as Saturday is like a battlefield in Hush Puppies(serious)....



Working was tough, especially with a Stomach Pain coming randomly at all times...It just made me feel like abandoning the stomach and rather not eat or even having one(LOL)....It was just...the pain...was not terrible, but it just come whenever it wants to...how persistent...



Thinking back of the 5 days of december and half of month in November, i felt that i was not fully at training, everytime there are obstacles or any other reasons that stop me for going to training, such as no transport, parents refusing to fetch me there and the recent STOMACH PAIN.....



I just hope that i don't want to regret not doing something I eagerly want to accomplish and fulfill...



After fulfilling what i want, I will be satisfied and grateful to those who helped me throughout the journey....

My stomach still suffer a slight pain...


According to my mum's friend who is a doctor, he said that due to the volmitting a large quantity, my intestines are "scratched" and sore...


It will recover slowly, just some time...


Planning to go training tomorrow...hope the pain won't interfere with my training...


Going to work after that...Life's for sure hectic nowadays...


Anybody agrees with me resigning end of December?


I want to get back my freedom and do things that i have not fulfilled...or else i would have regret in the future...

What made me went wrong today....

Supposingly i was to go for training this morning, but then due to food poisoning, i woke up at 5:30am and thrown out all my dinner...LOLS...(none of the food digested, strangely...)



Couldn't sleep the whole night, as the pain was at my stomach...It's like my stomach is going to burst...how horrible...



Woke up at 5:30am to throw out, went back to sleep again for just 1 hour and woke up again for training...



I was trying to walk towards the toilet, but i felt that my legs are so numb that I don't even have strength to walk...



Went and told my mum that I'm not going for training...She checked through me and found out that i got fever and food poisoning...



Rest at home the whole day...so lifeles...



Missed training today...Darn....



I'm thinking of a way how to escape from my job, it's just like nightmare... @~@

Freedom? Gone...

Well...posting this at my blog today about my working life and future...



Planned to work until 28th of December, but things turned out to be different...



I was actually supposed to be the advisor for the school badminton team, but things turned out to be different when I received information from my working mates that I have to work till after Chinese New Year....oh gosh...this is bad...



Training sessions had been cut short from 2 to once a week....Less training will make me worse and i will not be able to achieve the level i wished to achieve...



I could not be the advisor for the badminton team, which means I can't spend more time with my trainees and my players....How are they going to MSSD? They are not mature at the level they currently are at....I must think of a way to improve their standards...



My plans during January all screwed up as a result of needing to work until after Chinese New Year...All my programs are gone...Oh darn it...



What i currently will lose in the future and not done...

-Being advisor for the school team 2009
-Training sessions cut short
-January programs all screwed up



I must think of a way...this sucks...



I totally lost my freedom now...darn...

Bad performance

I managed to learn how to fold clothes quickly, but in exchange i "lost" part of my skills in badminton...



Went training this morning, had warm ups and footwork drills....



Coach asked me to spar with a girl (Gombak player) and i lost to her 7-2, 7-0 ....That moment i was so cold, didn't know what I did....Those mistakes....they were way too simple...I just hate myself sometimes that why i would make simple mistakes....



Among mistakes i made were Clears(just reached half court, WTH), footwork(lacking of speed), smashes(not accurate and net)....



I just feel so useless, i stare at my racquet for quite some time...Sat at the bench looking at those state players and circuit players train, i looked at their consistency...Men...they are way more consistent that me, which makes me feel more useless than anything else on earth (even my dog does better)



I chat with Wern Lin for a moment at training, she told me that my speed was very slow and i played like girl's style(Passive)...It hurts when hearing that, but at least she was being honest and I was able to know my mistakes...



Did better for the shuttle drill part where we did cross court smashes and cross court nets...Bad smashes as I was not able to find my contact point correctly(that takes time)....So my smashes were basically weak in a way....



Things i need to emphasis on:

1) Footwork shadows (Speed)
2) Jogging (Speed)
3) Wristwork (weightlifts)
4) Wristwork (Squash Racquet weight)
5) Strokes (can be only done at training centre)



I will start working hard now...by Jan 2009, i will be BACK !!!!

5th day...huuhaa...

The fifth day of work...


Stoning, looking at girls walking outside, met many friends....


Well...tomorrow got training, after that need to work...i hope i can cope with it...it's gonna be tough....


Well, hope i can maintain my consistency and maybe improve?
