Ping Pong Competition!

输赢也许重要，
但更重要的是我是否克服了心中的恐惧，
战略了自己。
我今天做到了。：）


Today was a special day, my first table tennis competition ever since one that I couldn't remember back in primary school. The atmosphere has brought back those past competitions feelings back to me be it squash and table tennis. Unfortunately I only made it to the Final 8, quarter finals where I lost to fear and composure.

I was indecisive, wrong way of playing and didn't adhere to my coach's advice. Until the last set where I was forced to think deep on what my coach told me and taught me. It worked for me but it was all little too late.

I wouldn't call this a setback. As I haven't receive professional training for really long, and making to final 8 is a good head start. I will slowly improve from there :) failure makes me hungry for more. At least I have improved, I can think logically while playing now, and its something important. Thats what my coach once said :)

Homesick O' No

Despite all the fun, I admit I am homesick. A common cycle one will go through in a different environment '4H': Honeymoon-Homesick-Hate-Homesweethome. Missing my mum alot. A scene today when i passed by a temple, saw an old lady, probably in her 60s. Could barely find a black hair on her, could say all white. Me and my friend, both of us were looking around for directions. Happen to met her, showed a benevolence face with wrinkles and of about 150 height. Somehow somewhere i could find a resemblance of my mum. I looked at her closely, and the thought of that mother would aged like her one day killed my strong front that i have to put. I was secretly tearing out of nowhere. She just resemble my mum alot, not very much on the look but the way she talk to us and how nice she was. Everyone ages, many know this but dont understand and i dont too. We can do all we want in life but there is a time limit to filal piety. I just think i am not a good enough son.

We had once upon a time...

Once upon a time, There was a village where some humans are equipped with wings and unfortunately some do not. There was an ordinary little boy who is one of the unfortunate ones without the wings, he was playing in the backyard of his village, he was running around with butterflies. Running after those butterflies, made him ran further and further from his village, he soon discovered a cliff. The little boy was curious what lies at the bottom of the cliff, as he went closer to the edge of the cliff, he then soon realised it is a very deep end, where he could hardly see any visible sights of ground. Then came a gentle female voice that seems to come from the bottom of the cliff, "Hello, you are? Wanna be friends?" The little boy made friends with the anonymous voice from the bottom of the cliff and came by often to the cliff to chat with her. After a week, both the little boy and girl enjoys each other accompany. One day when the little boy makes him daily routine visit again

A dream that may turn into reality. Nothing much today, Same old routine at home. However, another big decision i have to make. About the Singapore Youth Flying Club. It all started with my friend, shawn. I have not played habbo for sometime, around two months. Also, i have not keep in touch with my habbo friends, whatevers clique since January until last week. But due to my curiosity i went back to habbosoup to help and engage myself in habbo everyday for at least 10 mins per day. Then, on saturday, 4th April, i happen to met one of my friend in the whatevers clique, shawn. He suddenly talked about PPL. Then engaged me to know more about it. He then told me SYFC - Singapore Youth Flying Club, that he is going there to apply for flying application. After he said that, i recalled 2 years back, my maths tuition teacher did told me about the youth flying club and urged me to join. Back then i didnt really pay much attention to it, but it did left me a deep impact. To be honest, since yo
