Friendly match =D

Today we had friendly match against Temasik Polytechnic, and it was the guys' match today. So, all of the players from TP that came was all guys, the girls' match was yesterday. Before they had come, I have already heard alot of stories about how good are them. But that didn't scare me at all since I have never seen anyone of them before =D Now I can really see every each of the players and all of them are very fit and tall lols... Since I was assigned to play in doubles, coach arranged my partner and I to play against them. Well, it was a tough match. In the end we lost but our score was not far apart from theirs, I believed more training will definitely get us to the goal. I had also found out that our hard training had paid off after playing against them and I had also gained experiece from it. Our team's top players Syafiq and YiLong had done very well today. They had actually won them in almost every match and that really made us proud ^^ At around 9pm, we stopped all the match and coach had a short briefing with us. He said all of us performed well today and certianly we had improved after so much hard work. Before leaving, we had also shaked hand with TP players as how those footballers shaked their hands with each other =p All of us had a great time.

HoLiDaYs... =)

holidays holidays holidays....of cos during holidays i did not go for training but that was just for the first week of holiday, the second week i will attend. tomorrow our school team will be having a friendly match against temasik polytechnic, sounds exciting.. i knew that i have stopped blogging for quite awhile and it was because before holiday i was quite busy with all the assignments and presentations. last wednesday i went back to malaysia to visit my relatives and old classmates, i had a great time back there ^^ and now i have come back to singapore, it is time for me to study since after school reopen common test will start to take place...[ sad =( ] i will start blogging soon after i have settled everything, stay tune ya~~

That was simply just fun...

Today Simon didn't come to coach us. Well, I did not know why but the other coach which was my teammate's father came to lead us through the training. I kinda like the coach as his method of coaching was quite different and he was such a nice guy. We had doubles' training and it all went through very well. Coach still gave me compliment for having good defensive skill ^^ After all the training were ended, which was at around 8, we had doubles matches as usual. Today I was definitely in good condition, cuz I had never lost a match for today. My partner and I did very well although we still had some silly mistakes. After all I had gone through today, I felt like I am closer to the goal. >_@

Went for swimming with badminton members......but ended up only I went =="

Today was special, although we were not having training for today but captain had asked us to go for extra training without coach. He also asked us to go for swimming after the training which was at around 6pm. For me, I didn't go for the training as I had to attend a talk on complementary studies. So, after the talk ended, I straight went for swimming...ALONE...At first they said they will be joining me after they had finished the training but at last everyone felt lazy and 'put aeroplane' ==" Butttttttt, I enjoyed myself very much as I always love to exercise or should I say I love to perspire? =)

Nothing much about today, boring......

Bumpz~~~

Unbelievable terrible training...

Today's training was so terrible, maybe i was feeling tired or maybe i wasn't in mood for training. It really sucked. My body felt so lethargic and felt like lazy to move around. Though, the training was not tiring at all and quite boring too. Overall, today's training was not going well. Sienzzzz....

Help out at the registration booth

Today during our lunch break I went to help out at the booth instead of going for lunch (good huh?) Our club is organizing a badminton open for all the students in NYP, but for the school team players, we are not eligible to join this competition...=X It was quite boring to stay at the booth since there wasn't anyone came to register and I was all alone at that time. Quite alot of people came forward to ask about it but not many register for it. Most of them took the registration form and walked away. But soon the boring period was over and I just stayed there for an hour or less and after that my friend, Stuart, came to take over my place. I then went back to lecture hall to continue my lesson.

Bumpz...

(Didn't go for training today xD)

Wuuhuuu~~~i'm lovin it

Today the feeling was great, don't know why today was so much different than Tuesday...Today's training was simply the best, I suddenly got the feeling that I was going to perform well in today's training..=) Today we did doubles training, as usual... But it wasn't coached by Simon(our actual coach) and was coached by the other one(i don't know his name). We did not train much for today... or should i say the time passed kinda fast? Yeah, it's time for games. After the training the coach let us for games. My partner and I played quite well today, we actually had corrected some mistake we did before. That feeling was great, wuuhuuu~~~

Crappy day for me =X

Terrible, horrible and vegetable...This is all I can say to describe me cause I really sucked today during training, couldn't really get to the standard..aiks...so much more to train to get to the level I wished for. Today we trained defending for our doubles drill which was not going so well for me, don't know why today couldn't really pay attention on training. All I need to work out now is my wrist, wrist strength is all I need now. Don't really want to talk much about today, kinda moody...

Thursday Khamis 星期四

Another Thursday again....Today coach had recovered from sick already and so we were once again trained under him. Before training was started, we did some warm up altogether. During the warm up, coach walked near me and told me to train hard. I was quite shocked when he told me that and was mean time happy because I felt that coach looked up on me. All of a sudden I was more determined to train harder to prepare for tournaments and to achieve my goal. We started with double drill training and some smashing. I was totally into the training today and try to correct every mistakes that I could possibly make. We had some games with the seniors after the training. At this moment, I tried to learn from the mistakes that I had made during the match. Our training today ended earlier as coach wanted us to do some physical training. All of us knew that this was the tough training and we ended up exhausted. After everything was over, coach had a short brief with us. He told each one of us that there will be a tournament coming soon and told us to train hard if we want to take part in it. He said he will soon have a trial for all of us in order to select players to join the competition. He said only by this method it will be fair to all of us. After the briefing we were all ready to go home. As usual I went home by train and reached home quite late. It was really a tiring day for me as I still have to do some assignments and homework. But for the sake of reaching my goal, I will hold on as long as possible =)

Tuesday Selasa 星期二 o.O

Tuesday again...Today was my 3rd time of training after i have joined NYP badminton club. As usual, my class ended at 4 today and after school I went to library with a bunch of my classmates. Today we had special guest that was Rick<<<(he hardly goes to the library...)Around 5.30pm i started packing up my stuff and prepared to move to the sports hall. While i was walking out the library, I met my teammate, Stewart or Stuart, I'm not really sure =) And so we walked to the sports hall together...We chattered about badminton stuff and i found out he is really into badminton. The way he loves badminton had given me a rush of adrenaline to improve my skills and I tend to train even harder, hopefully to achieve my goal. We reached the hall and changed and after that we warmed up. Coach was kinda late today and all of the members never really cared, lol....Everyone was busying playing with each other. Around 6.45pm, another coach named Azlan showed up and he told us that our coach had fallen sick so he will take over the coaching today. He was the former coach for NYP badminton club, many of our seniors knew him. I was assigned under his coaching today. He was an experienced and interactive coach. We enjoyed the training very much as he always interacts with the players during training. Somehow I feel that he's even better than our coach haha...Since the training was fun today, we did not really feel as tired as last Tuesday. Maybe it's because last Tuesday was our first training after stopping for so many months until our machine got abit rusty so we might had some difficulty in training and in the end we were exhausted, but now we were already used to it. The training under Azlan's coachment was really interesting. During the training he had promised us that if we could hit down the tube, he would buy us a can drink. We were all pumped up by his promise and really paid full concentration in the training. He was indeed a good coach =) Today we ended quite early, which was around 9. I could not waste any minute to change and warm down because i wanted to get home earlier since my house is about 45minutes away from school. After bath, I sat down in front of my laptop and did something that I really don't like to do...guess what is it? haha...see ya on Thursday!

Another typical thursday....=X

Another tiring day for me as today I have badminton training again, but I kinda love to go for training =) My class ended quite late today because I had EEP for my last two periods. Around 6.30pm I only reached the badminton court. When I got there, they had already started the agility training. I quickly changed my attire and warmed up and got ready for training. Today's training wasn't that tiring and i guessed it was because Tuesday's training had had our 'machine' back to business..lol...As usual, coach let us played against each other in matches 30 minutes before the training ended. For the doubles matches, coach had teamed up with another player and asked my partner and I to play against them. It was a tough match and we had lost. But I had learned alot from that match. After training ended, I went home as usual, walked along the same pathway that took me around 10 minutes and took a train to get home. Surprisingly, today I did not feel as tiring as Tuesday. After showering I did some assignment and went to bed at around 1am....That's all for Thursday...Tune in next Tuesday =)

What a tiring day...as always =X

As what I have written in my goal list, one of them is to go pro in badminton. And now I have finally got into NYP badminton club. The selection was tough but i managed to passed through. Do you know why i said it was tough? Among 70 to 80 people that went for the selection, they only chose 20 players for the club, 10 for male and the other 10 for female. Now that I am one part of the team, I have to go for training on every Tuesday and Thursday. I ended my class at 4pm on Tuesday and after school I went to library with my friends to do homework while waiting for time to pass. At 5.45pm I started packing up my stuff and walked to the sport hall which is at Block G and it really was a long journey. =( It was my first day for training so I thought of going there earlier to give other members a good impression ^^ as first impression is always the deepest impression. At 6pm sharp, the coach reached the court. We did warm up and some agility training led by senior and the training started at around 6.40pm. Most of us are year 1 students and we had stopped training for quite some time. Our 'machine' had almost totally broken down and need to be lubricated...LOL(Miss Sharon, is it okay to use 'lol'?) The first training was quite tough for us, the year 1 students that have just joined the club. Coach had assigned me with a partner to play in doubles and we will be training together in future. I was happy that I was chosen to play doubles because I always prefer doubles than singles. I really had trained very hard at that night and around 8.40pm coach let us played against each other in matches. I remembered that our training session ended at 9 something and I was really exhausted so were others, especially those year 1's. I then walked to the MRT station after changing to a dry clothes and slippers, it was a very long journey and i was feeling so damn sleepy and tired that I could simply just doze off if there's a bed for me. And so the journey back to Clementi was boring and tiring. When i got home it was already 10.30pm. I had a shower and drank a cup of Anlene chocolate milk as the Milo supply had ran off.(sounds weird right?) After a cup of Anlene and some fruits, I did some homework and all the time my mind was floating with assignments, assignments and assignments. Gosh!!! and this blog was one of the assignments, it's really driving me crazy till then i felt sleepy and went to sleep at around 1am in the morning. There goes one tiring day for me and i couldn't really dream of anything because of the exhaustion =(...
