The Thing I Like......

Huyya,
well, a week after my initial blog, lots of things happen, great or bad. But, the best is my experience during Jempol Table Tennis Open Tournament 2006 on Saturday 29th July 2006. First thing about me, i love to play table tennis and it's my number one sport. Previously, in my whole life always play the sport with friends and I do compete with pretty much people in competitions but all of them are about my age, experience and skills.
So, at Jempol last Saturday, I've participated in the tournament together with my other colleagues as KMS team sponsored by KMS. Since it's an open tournament, the range of participants was very wide, from young to veterans, beginner(me) to professionals, and it is really surprising. As the story was shortened, my team last until the second round where we lost to a veteran and experienced players. Besides that, I got the chance to see techniques of elite Malaysian players like Syakirin Ibrahim and Malaysian veteran players like Shahrul Kamal and Nordin.
I've learned a lot of things through the event, at KMS people say I'm a great table tennis player even though I wouldn't admit it coz' I really am not that good. However, this event had showed there's a hell lot of good players and techniques out there. Lastly, this event really inspires me to train very hard because my next goal is, I'll be at the finals heheheh. Moreover, as quoted by Miss Lee, practice does make you perfect, heheh. So long and good night, sotong and gulai. ;)
p/s: do you know how long does it takes for a table tennis player to think what type of ball was hit by the opponent, how to return it back to the opponent and physically hit the ball back to the opponent? === the answer is, less than half of a second, dude.
Play Table Tennis, Makes Your Brain Think Too Fast And Too Furios, hehe.
