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 =)

Had a great game with Cedric yesterday, eventhough i lost 19-21, 7-21. At least i know where i stand.



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.

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

!@#$%^&*()

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."
