Today we trained at de sch hall which i thought there were Sec4 oral at tat time... We at 1st did our warm-up by doing jogging n sprinting around de courts be4 we did our round physical strokes. After tat we did our light footworks be4 we start stroking. But at tat time when we rest, Wei Hao n Carl r caught playing the ping pong ball n we were scolded as a result. They had to run till coach said stop as their punishment... After stroking, is match time... Wei Jun n Wei Jian had to challenge Wei Hao n me... During de game, I made alot of mistakes as I was very scared of de brothers... I reli need to be brave no matter wat I am up against from now onwards... After tat when I team up wif Ju Kai n challenged Choon Seng n Carl, we won them at de 1st game as they are quite careless, however we lost de 2nd set because we made careless mistakes too like hitting de ball to de net n when actually we can score a point, we either miss, hit to de net or hit outside of de court which cost our points dearly... We cant play de 3rd set because it was time to go alrd... Zzz.

Today is de day of de road relay... We tried our best in these runs but we failed to be top 6... But we were happy as we got top 10 as it is better than last year... Gratz to my class for getting 2e5 n they almost won de atheletics XD... They got 2nd for both boys n girls category n Mrs Foo is so proud of us. Finally able to see her smile very happily... 2e4 got 6th because Danell n Joshua in their team. If they are in our team, we could at least get 6th too... Back at sch, Ms Tew was abit proud of us (I think) n was busy shouting at Joshua n Danell traitors =.="... We did everything de same during badminton trainning except tat those tat ran at de relay got a short discount... When we stroked, I paired wif Wei Jian n his drop attacks are darn sharp! Very hard for me to lift back de shots... Proberly because of this, I better train harder by taking de filled 1.5L bottle n draw de number 8 abt 50 times to improve on my lifting n strokes... Great day it is TODAY! XD

Today we trained at de sports all and we did almost de same as on Monday... After all de warm-ups, running 5 rounds n footworks, I stroke wif Wei Jun n we did de strokes de same as on Fridays... When its time to play match, Wei Jun is challenged to 3v1 n was VSed by Jeremy, Kelvin Ho n me... We didnt win Wei Jun because we made too many mistakes. I should made him tired instead of trying to smash him all de time by droping at him. This will make him weak as he need to go forth n back to get his shots. His defence is gd so no point smashing him again n again... After tat match, it was Kelvin's turn to replace Wei Jun n we trash him at a score of 21:14.. He was very tired so he cant reli attack n Wei Jun n Jeremy kept on dropping him which made him very exhausted. He gave up on playing de 2nd set too... I gotta keep up wif me strokes if i were to stand behind...

Today we trained at de Bishan Sports Hall n we start of by having warm-ups, 5 rounds around de corridor of de Bishan Hall n we swung our rackets at de top part of de spectator seat... When we did all this, de Sport Hall janitor kept on looking at us n I felt tat he felt like complaining to de Sport Hall manager about us... I feel like hitting his face when I see him, even every1, including de coach also hate him... HAX! After tat, we stroked n i made quite a few mistakes... Coach always pair me up wif Wei Jun which I dun reli understand why he did tat almost every trainning... =.= When we played match, coach asked play 3v2 if Im not wrong n we still got trashed by de 2 person... I reli gotta work hard to win them de next time... Still,Im still weak in stamina n i should jog around de neighbourhood since de road relay is rdy to start this Friday.

2day, after every1 finished their footworks n strokes, we practiced once wif coach about pushing forward... When its my turn, I didnt manage to get de tempo of pushing at 1st, but after awhile i manage to attack coach when I had de chance. He told us tat when attacking we need to go forward in order to attack them continuously... When we played match, we won against Carl n Daniel becasue both made quite alot of mistakes plus they are not reli serious as they are laughing when playing... I hope they can wake up n play wad they can usually stroke...

2day we came late due to take care of our buddies from Xi'an whom came to Singapore to explore it... After everything is done, Ms Tew called me n Choon Seng to take de box of shuttles plus de new tube of shuttles. When we reached de CC wif both our buddies, we saw every1 doing physical trainning. When i asked some1, they told me tat they didnt take de box of shuttles n therefore didnt stroke de whole day... Both me n Choon Seng missed de 2 1/2 hour trainning so we did our warm up plus footwork be4 we begin playing a 3v1 match. We won against Kelvin cause he is very tired from de physical trainning... Most of his points are due to our mistakes, for example Yi Hao smashed too quicky tat it hit de net while I sometimes use too much strength tat it went too high n made him able to attack back... Coach told me tat I hav to find my touch in order to net sharply... Then i played single wif Yi Hao n won him 15-13... He smashed almost everytime which made me hard for me defend sometimes... But I manage to win because he made alot of mistakes... When i played wif coach, he made me run like crazy all de way behin which made him able to attack me, I won a point because I dropped him n he lazy take... I should attack him when I had de chance but I too tired n cant think reli properly... I hope tat I can play better next time... XD

Today''s night trainning is great... We started off de day wif doing special warm-ups plus footwork... After tat coach asked us to do some drop shots wif our chosen partner, mine is Wei Jun... When he drop, he always trick me n I sometimes cant take his shots... But when I can take his shots, coach told me tatI should do this more often so tat I can improve better on my agility n lifting. When I drop, I missed a few times due to de bright light n slow movements... When we did our multiples, I did quite well after a few sets cause coach wan me to attack at a overhead angle, n i hit quite a long time be4 I stop n drop to de net... I gotta train my stamina so tat next time I can rally wif coach... I also nid to train my strokes so tat my strokes will be more accurate, more control n more strength!

Today, every1 thought tat we going to Bishan Sports Hall to train but we ended up in a Community Club Hall so we cant reli play at a good place to train... When we reaach there n after doing finish warm ups, we did some footworks n we almost sliped! Very scary... Coach advised us to tap shoe wif water to get better grip, if not, GD luck to our injuries... When we did mutiples of 3 for multiple training, I n Kuan Ren made alot of mistakes because we were quite blur of wad de picture is... So we were to do our push ups till blood flows into our head =.="... But after tat, we learnt our mistakes but Kuan Ren still blur... But nvm, we did our smash n block n I smash his court like crazy XD! Still, I shouldnt be so 'proud' of myself, instead I should improve my shots so tat i can deliver more power into my ATTACKS! During match, I made alot of mistakes by missing de shuttles or hitting too far ot at other places... I should control my shots wif my thumb n should understand when to attack n when to do rally! Haiz, I hope i learn all my mistakes during Friday trainning so tat I wont repeat them again... XD!

Today is de 1st day of night training n its super exciting that i almost late sia... We started off wif warm-up n warm-up stroking which boost my confidence in 'KILLING'... After coach came n helped Ms Tew to carry her books, we started training wif simple footworks n pointing... Then after finishing a few mins of stroking, we played match seems de courts are totally empty n avaliable. When we did multiples, I made a few mistakes due to lack of speed recovery n 'sotongness' tat made me missed de shuttles including hitting them at de net... I need to use my wrist n tap it down so tat de shot goes over without fail... Then, we end de day wif a match or 2 from my fellow mates cause coach is buzy playing against de gd players tat de rest of us jus organised our own matches which turn out ok... I hope tat next week I will recover form my mistakes XD! O.o"

Today, training start l8r by 20min plus because there are no teachers to bring us there cause Ms Tew wans our safety to be ensured... Waiting there for a teacher-in-charge to bring us there is totally wasting our time since we are in a group, but y cant we go ourselves when there are no teachers to bring us there? Wei Jun, our captain followed her instructions but i got a feeling he also felt the same way as me... When we reach there, Jeremy n Yi Hao are there, training their strokes wif themselves, while coach at de other hand is training his super taping skills which is totally COOL! I GOTTA LEARN TAT WHEN I AM READY. After warm-ups, footworks n strokes, coach assign us to play 3v2 while he trained de rest to smash at him while he defend... When its my turn, some of my smash knocked coach's socks off! Quite cool... But when he defend some of shots, I keep on attacking him which made me tired after some time... I really gotta trained my stamina if not I will lose out in rally and 2.4km NAFFA test! Everyday, I must run around my block for at least 1 hour everyday to keep myself fit plus those physical exercise tat both de Coach n Ms Tew assigned us... HAHAHAS =.=!

Today is the day every1 come back for training... We start off with some warm up n footworks, then we stroke for awhile to boost our skills at the Bishan Sports Hall which we trained there for week(s). Its a great place to train as their court are very effective n we wont slip easily unlike our sch hall (currently used for 'O' level exams). Seems that we r there, coach doesnt wanna waste this opportunities so we played a few matches... During the 1st few matches, i made quite alot of mistakes in de 3v2 match. As de front person, i shouldnt lift or net wrongly cause they could attack us back which is super duper dangerous n during real games i will lose out alot points... As de front person, I should attack more or net sharper so tat point will be earned... As de back, i shouldnt always lob or use backhand cause if i use lob, they can attack me n if i use backhand when i attack them wif with my forehand, this chance of attacking will be wasted... So i should ATTACK more n as wad coach say, ATTACK/KILL THEM... Maybe =.="
