in the shadow

Holla

wui jern is back back back.

im here at kuching for almost 2 weeks already. having 'common' holidays. 3 weeks plus holiday. nothing more than usual holidays with the same routine for everyday. what cares the most is, i play more badminton this holidays.

achievements during this holidays' games
- beat 'Swinburne team' twice, no sweat. =P
- beat Bernard n Kuan Xien in straight games. this match really unexpected because those two players still undergo training and i managed to beat them. =P

rare case, i went for training under yew zion coaching. what the toot. after the training, i got some feedback
- 'you aint that serious with the training.' : because i've missed the training for more than 3 years so it's hard for me to gain back my training spirit. (so lame)
- 'your footwork aint that fast, better improve.' : i understand myself =(
- 'if you want to play in masum, you better work hard, even my standard is not up to masum standard what more to say you.' : these words really inspiring me, to measure my current standard with the others.

last night, the Kuching Closed 2007 sponsored by Instacom Engineering sdn bhd just ended. i just oberved the senior men's double which was between a pair of current state players and a pair of former state players, their speed and power were there. before that, few nights ago, i went to watch yew zion's double match which was against the first seed of the event. yew zion lost in that match. then the following night, i went for a game with yew zion n chatted for quite somwhile with him, it was when he asked me these questions.

yz: how much do you think of the percentage of winning when playing against me?'
me: 2-8 to you. hehe
yz: ok. do you think you can fight with the opponents whom i played last night?
me: yeah i think i can.
yz: no. watching n playing on the spot are different.
me: i know.
yz: then you pick one partner to challenge that pair, who will it be?
me: anyone but at least can challenge that pair. i dont think we will lose that easily.
yz: no, you cant fight with them unless you improve your defence then can compete with them. their defence is damn good.
me: i see. ok

from the conversation, what i think is i can challenge that pair if i play to my very top form. i believe in my own form.

i really have high expectations on my badminton games because i want to achieve at least one champion in any open tourney before 23. cis
