Food Poisoning

Few days back ago, which is Monday, i went to Tenji for Japanese Buffet. Unfortunately, i think i took too much sashimi and probably due to the inhygenic handling of the sashimi, i got food poisoning.



The next day, i vomitted and it was pretty bad. Had to go and check up with the doctor. Fortunately, thanks to my parents support, i was able to stand back up and fight against this challenge.


Now, since i have recovered, it is time for me to resume my training and get better.


Coming up will be USJ tournament!


Gotta work for it, try to at least break the first round curse.

Priceless Training =)

What a training that day at my working place. It was on a Friday morning when i asked my boss whether i can dropby for a training session. Coincidently that Friday is Deepavali and yet we are training, so it was somehow special.



That day, my boss and his other friends(which are also my bosses) came for training. They had sparring session and it was a great to watch. After their sparring session, my boss gave me some training to do.



Meanwhile doing training, one of my boss(Choong Hann) came over and gave me some advice. I would say it was great as he corrected most of the way i execute my dropshots.



Well, i would say it's great to have him to guide me......



What a day for training, Priceless...



ANyways, finals coming up. Will update it again sooner.

Busy

Been quite busy lately, most of the time spent on doing assignments instead of training hard in badminton.



Just resumed training few days ago after a 3-week rest from my ribs injury, was quite a freaky accident that caused the injury, fortunately it was just minor. =)



Busy working too, i need to earn money for a living, trying to be more independent, glad that i have such good bosses, another thing to be glad about. =D



As for relationship, i guess i'm still the same, not much improvement either, just hoping that she will change her thoughts and feelings towards me.



Will be updating slow, since i'm busy...will get back to blogging once i'm free again.



Signing off to all readers.

Discipline

What i'm dealing now is the toughest of all, Discipline.



To wake up early every morning for jogging and doing the same thing over and over again, can anyone out there really repeat the same routine everyday?



This is where discipline comes in, where you will not give up doing or even say it's boring or whatsoever.



Determination and Hardwork also comes in that case.



Just like today, i didn't manage to go for my training because i wasn't able to wake up, and that has shown that i'm still lacking of the quality in my disciplines.



To be good, we must first have disciplines, then we will be able to excel in other parts of what you pursue.



Discipline, Discipline, Discipline....

Focus

It is really hard for me to focus, Coach always tell me to focus in the match/game, but somehow my mind tends to float away and then just 3 seconds only, i've lost my momentum and rhythm and made my mistake.



My mind is also slow, tends to respond slower than my legs and hands. Gotta work on it too.



Now most importantly before the next tournament, i gotta work on my focus and my thinking.

Sick

I'm now down with serious cough and flu, even there's blood in it.



I thought this week i can push myself more in badminton, but sadly obstacles do happen, such as this.



Just hope to recover A.S.A.P, then prepare for the next tournament, which is next Saturday.

Myself

I wonder what's with myself lately...


I can't seem to find the right person for myself...


The girls don't like me back, i don't force them....fine...


Sometimes, i end up walking alone in a happening street alone, while seeing others with their loved ones and partner cherishing their moments together.


On the other side,


I've been working more than usual on my badminton...


Yet things didn't show out well....


My performance and form is just like a flicking light bulb...


It just doesn't show my true ability yet..


I have not get my dynamic speed and attacking yet...


How am i going to move on to the next level?




So many things to worried and frustrate on...What a Life

When the person starts from scratch, the person will always remember you.



But when the person achieved fame, the person forgets the past.



So simple, it's human nature.

I just want to cry out

After losing to my opponent 21-23. I just felt like crying out.



He's a level lower, and yet i can let him drag me to deuce.



When i was down 12-18, i struggled to stay on and i managed to catch up till 20-20.



After a deuce, we both got 21-21.



I was desperate and did an overhead jump smash off-balance. The smash didnt pass and hit the net.



The final point was my mistake and i lost out.



It was just 2 points, if i didn't lift it out, probably i could stay in the game and won it.

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Just 3 more days and it's gonna begin...



Heart beating fast...



Trying to bring the best out of myself.



Stay positive and be confident =)

Friday, April 23, 2010

Now i got another BIG problem!



2 Tournaments up ahead, but on the same date, and the prob is, it clashes with one another....



Tell me...



Now how shall i choose?

Match against FU Chih

A match against Fu Chih today since Coach Andrew (Fu Chih's coach) asked him to spar against me.



I started off badly as i put too much pressure on myself during the game. The first game did not go well and i made many simple mistakes that had myself killed. First game losing out 16-21.



When the second game started, was given some advice by Coach Andrew and played much better than first game, yet unresponsive at the front of the net due to the aching in the thigh resulting from yesterday's training. Somehow, managed to clinch the second game 21-12.



The 3rd game was supposed to be crucial, but it was a one way traffic for me from 0-0 to 11-0, then i made a mistake and there, Fu Chih managed to get 5 points before the game was being closed up. The 3rd game ended with the score: 21-5.




I shall need to work more on my singles, especially on anticipation, change in pace in footwork, explosive power in footwork and also....less mistakes Please.




Overall score: 16-21, 21-12, 21-5

Fire

Where is the "fire" in me? The "fire" that pushes me to play at 100% with my opponent, the "fire" that give me the brilliance of outplaying my opponent, the "fire" that gives me the courage of challenging opponents...




But what happened? The "fire" seemed to have been extinguished by something. Lately i just couldn't push myself to give my 100% i used to be able to. Eventhough i am hardworking during training, but it just doesn't apply to my game when i play against my opponent.




Light up the"fire" for me. Rekindle my spirit and motivation again.




Sunday, April 18, 2010

Lost the match to Andy once more, losing 18-21, 16-21



Made many mistakes such as hitting the shuttle out, didn't take enough time to decide what shot to put in, went in too fast.



Shot at net, pretty crucial part, always missed that, and what i always did not expect is the crosscourt drop, which is how he scores. Have to take note of these few points.




There's still time to make changes before it's too late....




When the real match comes, no mercy

Thursday, April 15, 2010

!@#$%^&*()

Want to smash, but smash net or float, and powerless....



Want to drop, but drop at the net....



Want to net, but net shot couldn't pass over....



Want to lift, lift half court...



Where did all my power go?



Better get some good rest tonight, tomorrow is going to be another day

Play for the Day

What a day i can say, training in the morning and playing at Neway (Taylor's College) badminton club in the evening...Fuuuuuhhhhh



After all, played doubles in the club, as usual...



Andy did not perform very well though (due to his MS), just hope he's gonna buck up for what he had made in these past few days.



As for myself, sometimes steady sometimes off, this has still been persisting me lately. Troublesome one >.<



Played with many kinds of player today, players from Pahang, Selangor and Melaka. All are great players. *applause*



Learned a lot from them today, seeing the way they play, the speed, strategy, stroke, power, precision.



Just few more weeks left, gotta do something to bring ourselves up again.




"Gotta buck up my Singles and Doubles, improve on the reaction"


"Andy, don't repeat the same mistake again, play at 100%, eventhough it's game, when we are on court, there's no friendship to be talked about."

Cruelty

While i was watching a TV program introducing the famous and well known food in the world, i suddenly realised that how human became this cruel.




According to the program i was watching, the reason why they want the texture of the pork to taste good is by zapping the pig when it is going to sleep, since the pig loves to sleep a lot. When i heard this statement told by the japanese chef, i was shocked to hear this.




Like the Goose, to obtain a delicious goose liver, human would use a pipe to just keep feeding food into the trapped goose inside the cage to just obtain a goose liver. Just because of a goose liver and we have to use such cruel steps to achieve what we want? Look at ourselves, we have now became the monsters to animals.




China is also very famous for being cruel when it comes to their cuisine, especially the fish. In order to create the best dish for fish, they have to take the fish from the water alive, immediately cut it's stomach, removing it's internal organs, dip into powder and lastly deep-frying the fish in the hot boiling oil. When the fish is boiled in the hot oil, you can see the fish still breathing and struggling. When the dish is served, you can still see the fish mouth opening and closing gushing for air.




Can you imagine we, Human have became so cruel until such extent, in order to obtain what we seek for, we can use any methods regardless how cruel it is to obtain it. This is just sometimes....making me feel sick....making me feel sorry.....making me feeling guilty and also making me like a worthless being.




Humans started from the ancient times where humans still haven't begin civilization. At that time, human hunt down animal for food to survive. They did not seek for anything special in their food. But as civilization goes on and continue, the esteem of human increases and then human tend to try all sorts of methods to make their food interesting and delicious.




Thinking of which, try to imagine if you are the animal and being tortured like this, imagine yourself as the goose, imagine yourself as the pig, imagine yourself as the fish. How would you feel?




Answer? Pretty simple....SUFFERING.




Humans are just way too selfish when going through civilization.

After looking at the score, i just felt not great. =(

Why can't I remain consistent?



Why inconsistency always look for me...?



Why me?

Monday, February 22, 2010

After working so hard and repeating the same routine everyday by increasing it's intensity,



Do you think the hard work will pay off?

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Consistency

I've been facing the same old problem over and over again. Sometimes i can give out my best during training and also during game matches, but sometimes i just can't bring out the "me" in myself.



Been thinking how to overcome that, but somehow, it's just working partially. If my consistency isn't consistent, how am i going to improve?



I think consistency is affected by mental too, besides being physically fit.



During shuttle drills, i was able to put in my consistency and able to put my best at the frontline, but when it comes to 2on1 just now, i wasn't able to keep up the speed i have. At first i was able to play at my speed and controlled my opponent under my tempo, but after that i suffered a backdown and they managed to take down the 2nd set.




During the final set only i was able to clinch back my victory. I was thinking over and over again, how do i keep up my consistency?



And i'm very unsure whether am i moving up or falling backwards? Am i improving?



I just wish i can know whether i am improving or not, because there isn't much time left for me. Just 1 more year(excluding this year) for me to improve to my maximum level.



Hoping 2010 can give me a drastic improvement i want.

Third, a freaky incident where i juz open a normal bottle cap and i cut my own finger? LOL

Mini Tournament

Today's mini tournament was a great one, eventhough i didn't manage to perform well. My footwork wasn't really smooth and it was very glitchy. Kinda off form today, loads of shots taken at the top of my head, instead of front, but still managed to take 1 game down, opponent wasn't in good state either.



Need to live up my Form i used to have.




Let's not waste much time, here's the latest results:



First Round:

Soon vs Zhi Wei (21-18, 14-21, 21-12)

Fu Chih vs Andy (14-21, 9-21)




Special Round:

Soon vs Henry (21-8, 21-14)




Finals:

Andy vs Soon (22-24, 10-21)




That's the results! There will be another Mini Tournament coming up, but Doubles instead of Singles.


Tuesday, January 26, 2010

I don't understand why you just kind of ignore me,



I kept reflecting what i did that day and was trying to find where i went wrong,



If there's anything i seriously offended or "too much",



I'm really sorry and i apologize.



But girl, I just want to know what are you thinking at the moment?



Please indicate me,



I'm really lost now.
