So we drew the table tennis friendly against AHS B Div yesterday, we lost to the C Div which was pretty expected because they had 5 China players there. But I wasn't unhappy because we lost to their C Div, I was unhappy because of the way the friendly was carried out. There wasn't any proper organization on our part. I may have reached there late and thus was unable to help out, but I was expecting that we would have the friendly carried out in a manner identical to or at least close to that of the competition. The teacher-in-charge didn't even put one of the players down to play and just assumed that she would have won the match if she played, all just because she's good. And I didn't even know about it until the teacher said it at the debrief. I was like 'WHAT!?!?!?', I may have sounded loud and rude, but honestly, I was angry.
I mean, do you really do that in a competition? You might as well say that we don't even need to participate in the nationals because we are better than all other schools(I'm just making an analogy, not saying that it's true). Like what my previous coach always says, the ball is round, you never know for sure who will be the winner. So who were we to decide that we would win? I felt kinda bad towards AHS, because they came all the way down to have a friendly with us on a Saturday, and they were made to give us that one point without even having the chance to fight for it. Darn.
Seeing the AHS team and Coach Lin again just made me realised how much I missed the AHS team. The team spirit and everything. Like how everyone is always laughing together, sweating it out together. Most importantly, I had a very good and fair coach who gave me a chance even though I could barely hold the bat correctly then. Without him, I probably wouldn't be in TJ now.
Someone asked me recently if I had regretted joining TJ table tennis. I nodded my head. I don't like a coach who sees only a jewel in the whole team when in fact, there are alot more others who just needs alittle more polishing. I don't like a teacher-in-charge who tried to take charge of every little thing. I don't like someone being so indecisive and having no self-confidence. What you said at the interview a year ago about being more confident in yourself, I daresay you haven't achieve it, or should I say you didn't even put in the efforts? Honestly, I thought that position of yours would have given you the confidence but apparently not. I'm so disappointed because the person I'm seeing now is no different from the one I saw one year ago. I was so happy for you when you got what you wanted, but you know what now? If I were given the chance, I would definitely have done a better job than you did.

First of all, I'm a Kpop fan, especially of 2PM, MBLAQ, 2NE1 and FT Island. Actually, I like Kpop, Korean entertainment, Korean dramas, Korean language, Korean culture, Korean food, basically anything Korean. So I guess you can call me a fan of Korea.
Second, eating is one of my favourite pastimes. I think my size says it all. =P I'm not picky about food but there's only one thing that I don't like eating, that is, sweet potato.
Third, I love sports. Been playing table tennis for about 6 years now, and floorball, 2 years. But I would have to say that I like floorball more. I don't know, but putting the ball into the goal, making an accurate pass, chasing after the ball, even sweating like a pig, gives me the sense of satisfaction that nothing else can.
Fourth, I can't live without the Internet. You can take away my phone, TV, mp3, bed, but please don't take away my Internet because...I just can't live without the internet.
Lastly, if there's anything I dislike, it would have to be making decisions. Where to go, what to eat, what to do next, which is nicer/better...I just don't like deciding. I always leave it to others because honestly, it doesn't matter where we're going, what we're eating or what we're doing to do. What matters most is the company and whether we're having a great time together.
