zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
these few days couldnt be any more boring..looking back, the times in thailand were juz so fun..the jokes and laughter we had as a team and the coach as well..lolx..ohwell..but now we're back in singapore with no motivation to carry on training..ha..maybe it's only me tht has tht feeling..find trng so meaningless now..sometimes i wonder why i still go to trng for..lolx..i think something is wrong with me..
yea..and there are still those boring comps tht are coming up..play so many of these comps just gets more boring..tsk tsk..
forgive the author, he has juz watched video of the team event semi finals in asean thailand where singapore played malaysia.......
sea youth 06-thailand
if u asked me which asean i preferred, i would confidently say i preferred this year's asean..yea..in the blink of an eye, another sea youth c'ships has passed..although it was fun for all of us, sad to say, many tears were shed..however, many..wait..not many, but ALL of us gave it our best..
for a start, when we went there, the boys team were given a morale boast when we found out that tianhoe could play in the team event..and given a good draw in the group stage, we successfully made it to the semis without much of a problem..
up against malaysia in the semis, both sides knew that the winner of this match would claim the ticket to japan..it was one match where the team really gave in our all and shouted till our throats were dry..for a start, we knew the odds were against us, but we all went in fighting and cheering our hearts out..after a gruelling two hours, we had fought hard, but lost narrowly by 3-2 to a better malaysia.. for me, it was really emotional seeing the tickets to japan with all our names stamped on it torn into pieces..it was disappointing knowing that we gave in so much but to no avail..
this really dampened our morale for the next day's match which was the doubles..however, thank God many of us were not to be outdone by the demoralising loss the day before..the Lord really guided me and i m proud to say tht tianhoe and myself managed to stand on the same platform as the U18 boys singles finalists =D..really wanna thnk God as i did not expect this medal since it was my first time playing U18..
also, not forgetting my mixed doubles partner zena..we both performed above our own expectations..little did we expect to win the vietnam first pair..and in the quarters, we gave it our all and but lost to the eventual and deserving champions ficky and siliar..but nvm, thnk God for this good experience...
as we all know, our U15s also performed well..but of all the 4, i think one of them is deserving of special mention..
PANG XUE JIE aka my room mate..lolx..this guy must give me problems every night..there was one night where he refused to bathe because he was scared that tianhoe would come and prank him..and every time he heard the door knock he would rush out..lolx..so eventually, he ended up sleeping without bathing..YUCK..haha..
so much for the fun part, but in the competition arena, he really performed way above anyone's expectations..for a first timer to get into the singles finals is really a feat..he showed alot of determination and gave in his all also..ohwell, though he did not manage to grab the gold, he still has many years ahead of him..
ok..now to the behind the scenes part..haha..the boys team..wait..JUNYI i mean was rather mesmerized by the vietnam LO, or more commonly known as michelle..haha..and also, this team was really very fun..wif junyi and tianhoe making fun of bob and yilong and myself 'taking care' of xj every night, haha..we couldnt haf asked for more..this team really rocks =D..praying hard that we will be able to get another chance to go overseas as a team again..yea..there are many more but i cant think of any now..when i rmb i'll add them into this entry again..
for me and xj, the journey is not over..we still have the jarkata tournament and its gonna be the same old pple again..ok..take care guys..God bless..
thailand
yea..shall juz add another entry before we go to thailand..
intensive trng has officially ended..thnk God for seeing us through this week..though its rather short, but at least better thn nothing..
flight's at 1120am tmr..praying the God will guide us..yea..trusting in the Lord..He never fails.. =)
ok..that's it guys..hopefully this trip will be fun..firstly the pple are fun and the coach is..lolx..zu hai ning..haha..yea..will be quite an experience..cya..God bless.. =)
Proverbs 3:5,6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths.
oh man..i cant believe i actually lost my cool again..second time in a week..tht bus driver..nothing better to do..haiz..thn i shouted at the customer service person also..sian..who ask them for no reason must retain my things..pissing off man..
sigh..i think instead of bringing back sliders back to the Lord i've become a back slider myself..argh..missing church this sunday..sigh..when i miss church the feeling isnt right..
hmmm..leaving for thailand for sea youth this sat..thnk God tht i am able to play this comp once again..praying tht our forms will be good and that we will be able to go to japan..haha..my doubles partner is th and haiz..me n xh haf experienced it already la..say n say..tsk tsk..
Lord..i commit myself into Your loving hands
