whoopee im back to blog arent you happy my dear faithful readers? or probably not that faithful i guess. i didnt put a counter board so i cant know. nvr mind.today i wanted to talk about some interesting topics like how to make an orange into a banana or something... you know those things that weirdos of the world love to write an essay about. however i find myself too preoccupied with current activities and my greatest apologies to those who loved that kind of essays.
back to where i was, i couldnt spare the time to blog or come online at all mainly because i had my nationals. yep its finally here! so i was really looking forward to it, hoping that this year would yield some better results since its going to be my very last national. well... as they say life is not a bed of roses... so obviously there were many things that were unexpected that didnt make my dream come true. sad but life is always unfair i guess.
Wednesday: first day of competition for the girls. we left sch at 10am and played against pjc at tampines hall. the singles... nth much to say really, whereas the doubles were could prob give us a bad heart attack. we had a very tough fight against their first doubles, but eventually clara and peihuang survived to win the game after 3 sets!!! yippee!!! but i do concede that actually their doubles was stronger than us. if the opponent didnt get hasty and concentrated their attacks on one person, they would have won us. so it was PHEW. and we won one sch!!! then for 2nd doubles... it was quite an unexpected loss i felt. i think our 2nd doubles could have won but then too many mistakes... so hmmm sadly lost that match. they were rather depressed... but at least we won 3-2. so cheer up k=)
Thursday: Everyone trained together. Nth much for that day... i was almost dead when i reached the coffee shop... too hungry zzz. Dragged myself home to wash up and IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE TRUST ME
Friday: second match for nationals. against hwa chong. it would be the deciding match to see if we could go into the second round, which would be a very great and significant acheivement to all of us girls! well then... on the way to the hall, we got into an accident. haha. cuz the road was slippery or something from the rain... and then a pickup skidded in front of us and we crashed into its back. was a real shock cuz everyone was sleeping on the bus. it was like. zZzZzZzZ- BANG BANG!!! O.o luckily no one was hurt... so okie... and the driver of the pickup didnt too. but his pickup was beyond regconition. lol. then we were delayed and almost got late... and that accident caused a huge traffic jam on the highway right behind us. loooooool. then we reached and warmed up and started the game. singles nth much to say... but we lost both doubles. theirs were too strong... and the 2nd doubles was really... urgh duno what to say. i think our 2nd doubles can definately beat them im sure of it, but of all times they had to go and get stressed cuz this was the deciding game. then got nervous and pressured themselves too much and the game was gone. ................... wah lao. so we lost 2-3. it would take a miracle to win vjc.
anyway... im not blaming our second doubles... i know they do want to help the team to make it to the second round... everyone does. as long as you tried your best there is nth to be guilty or sad for. if we were to lose, i would rather that we lose as a team with pride knowing that we tried our best, rather than be some disunited and selfish individuals who only care about themselves. so we'll get through everything together okie?
Saturday: guys had friendly while i just simply relaxed. anyway i think mr seah already given up on the girls. facing the cold hard facts, its impossible to win vjc in our current state, so no point to train when you cant get into the next round. dun blame him also. anyway im thankful that i was given e chance to rest cuz the entire team actually trained everyday for almost two weeks. not including sundays, but for me, i have personal practice on sunday so it just makes it everyday. heh heh. anyway i stopped sunday practice. so i have nth to do on that day anymore. it feels weird... cuz i had sunday practice for like almost 4 years straight... not having it anymore is just plain weird k. guess i'll get used to it. i think i will get fat soon. no more exercise already. ARGH. and dun tell me i'll nvr get fat. now im not fat is because i have regular practice so i can still eat rubbish and not get fat. now, its the ultimate eat all you want but no exercise period. im scared.... HEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP. lol. must E.X.E.R.C.I.S.E.!!!!!!!! maybe running? anything to let me stay at my current weight. i weighed myself yesterday and i was up by 1 kg. shit. grrrrr. to think i ate billy bombers on sat too. -.-
sunday. ultimate slack day... watched anime... had lunch... had dinner... did some Gp... packed up my room... duh duh duh... nth much really. see la. no sunday training and im reduced to some pathetic wimp that stays indoors and just eat and sleep and watch tv. this is disastrous. i must do something!!!!!
anyways... for the first time in 2-3 weeks the whole family ate dinner together... it feel like ages since we got together. and of all occasions HAH i quarrelled with my sis as usual. it was damn crap. she just showed me how obnoxious and self centered and vain she was which disgusted me to the very core. an ultimate disgrace. i nvr thought that someone close to me would actually have that kind of personality. she's becoming more and more obnoxious lately. well i could probably relate it to a few key factors. HAH. okie thats all im disclosing. for all that i dont like my sister, its still not very nice to say certain things in public, excluding those that i mentioned about her earlier though. hhhhmmmppppphhhhh. think even mum cant stand her lately.
Monday: guys nationals against MJC. a crucial match cuz if they win, they are practically assured to go into semi finals? yeah... so the whole team was officially excused from 11 am onwards to go to the hall to support. haha... no content module. but i hope it was nth much. well the guys lost 1-4. lets see... the 1st singles was a clear loss... the difference between our top player and their top player was simply too vast. down in straight sets, with a huge score difference to boot i think. but it was expected so nvr mind. but what was really unexpected that we actually lost the rest of the 4 matches save 1, the 2nd singles. personally, i would think that jjc would fare so much better in terms of stamina and skill to win the game against Mjc. but my god so many cock-ups. firstly... our 1st doubles were too hasty... as in they tried to rush... so it was really a severe loss cuz they were leading at first. later they tried to keep their cool.. but i think their nerves were so highly strung...many mistakes. so we lost the 1st doubles.then 2nd singles we won quite easily. 2nd doubles was crucial cuz we were trailing 1-2 to Mjc. i think 2nd doubles under quite alot of pressure. mistakes here and there too. although they were much better than their opponents... somehow we just couldnt win=(... i can only think that because they were under pressure... otherwise i duno... it was a real pity. though we went down in straight sets, it was a rather good fight anyway.
then 3rd singles which is huai an. against some player from Mjc which he CONFIRM CAN TRASH. then guess what. i duno what happened to him. maybe he was overconfident that the opponent was lousier than him and that he could win, or he was just having super duper low morale because the team lost overall. whatever it was, he played like shit. it was a god damn freaking lousy game. at least he bucked up at the 3rd set. but still lost o well. what was really shocking was that he actually blamed the team for not being committed during trainings, that they didnt put in their best to win the games.
actually, i wrote one entire loooonnnggg paragraph on how i felt... but i deleted it away. cuz it felt a little harsh haha-.- anyways... i think our team has already tried and did put in effort to win... not like what huai an says. maybe not enough, but im sure everyone really tried. who doesnt want to win? and its not very nice to blame other people for your mistakes and attitude. after all, you were the one having that mentality throughout the game... not anyone else.
aiyah cant be bothered. more interestingly, i saw this serangoon guy playing 3rd singles. and omg he's freaking freaking...... gay? as in ARGH you wont believe this he's practically a guy that comes equipped with a girl's skills! wth!!!!!! he plays totally like a girl! he doesn't jump smash! he makes those little little actions that girls do!!! his arms are always half raised and facing downwards!!! arrggghhh i duno how to describe!!! go and see for yourself!!! it was a real eye opener. the most interesting match ive ever line-judged for. GOSH. hehehehehhehehehehhehe. even xj saw him and was exclaiming about itXD
