Sometimes competition is not just about winning. I participated in the 1st table tennis competition in my life yesterday. Undeniably, it was really fun. Although I have losed all 3matches, I feel I did my best because I just learnt and practised for 1day!!
The first match was against Chew and Esther. I think nobody can beat their teamwork, because this two state players were couple. My partner and I losed 21-13, 21-15. Well, I surrendered myself. They are just too strong.
The second match was against my sifu-s, Li Wei and Zhen Liang. I always practise ping pong with them but impossible I can win my sifu-s right?They smashed like mad and I couldnt really focus. First and foremost, I was too tired. Secondly, I was distracted by blue house supporters who cheered loudly when I missed a point. I finished the game terribly, couldnt even get to score 20points for the 2games!
I won the first game for the third match, opposing a lenglui senior who serves with the ball spinning and the guy who is my friend. I was under extreme pressure as I do not want to lose terribly anymore. Yes! I did my best. It was the most perfect match that I had ystday. Actually we stand a chance to win the match but my partner was so anxious and nervous until several points were just delivered to the opponents easily. We losed again.
But I wasnt sad at all. Sometimes competitions are just not about winning, it is about doing your best and dont feel regret after that. I did perfectly, not even a single error is made. My friends are very proud of me, and I am proud of myself too!
The most touching part is that I realized there are so many people around me who care and love me very much. My friend purposely asked Chew not to smash at me because I am a beginner and I definitely cannot handle smashed balls. Another friend of mine is very good at smashing, but he didnt even smash a single ball to me ystday during the match. Just because he knows I will feel nervous when I hit smashed balls and I would lose points because of that. They did so many things behind to help me as much as possible.
Thank you my respective coach Jian Hui for teaching me the basic of serving. Although your words are sharp and hurting, you are the one who let me know what ping pong is.
Thank you Li Wei, Zhen Liang, Alex, Kean Seng and Jerry for teaching me. I was so touched when you all told me that I did very well.
Wei, thanks for asking Chew to not smash at me. You know who you are. And thanks for your support and cheer when I scored. I dunno wat to say except for thousands of thank you.
And lastly, thank you dear for your ultimate support. Thanks for staying up til 1am to teach me, and broke your promise to your friend just bcoz u wanna stay to watch me playing without even telling me. I would be so nervous if I know you were watching. Hope you really enjoyed my match!
Hope I didnt disappoint anybody who had faith in me. I know it is very impossible to represent my house for PingPong after a 1-day practise, but I managed to do it! Thank you for being proud of me. Love you guys much!
And yeah, I am very satisfied with my performance.

Forgiveness
In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with one accord I keep moving forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
As my seasons change
I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with love's display
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
I always assume that I will never forgive him in this life, Oh No, I just dont understand myself well enough. Actually without my realize, I have forgiven him long time ago. I mean, a very long duration ago when even myself didnt realize that.
Anyhow I wont reply him no matter what he sends me. Hope this can be a very good experience for him.
Just want to tell you: I still treat you as my friend. Dont forget me when you have flied to Czech Republic next time!

Updates!!
Finally I realize that people do not like to read things that are written in paragraphs. So I just KISS--keep it short and sweet. (My mad chemistry lecturer taught us that)
Well, several updates are in town:
1. I have a new boss!! Datuk Liow Tiong Lai (sorry if I spelled his name wrongly). But sadly he is not a doctor. The first decision he has made yesterday when he was announced as the Health Minister is to shift private doctors to work in government hospitals. OH MY GOODNESS! What a lousy decision..Doctors do not wish to serve for government simple because they want to get a better pay, shorter working hours, and enjoy the fame that a doctor has. (Government doctors are known as slave-low pay as well as lengthy working hour). Now, due to his marvellous decision. private doctors are back to government hospitals again. Sigh. But not my problem right?Why am I over-reacting? Isykk.
2. I have decided to change to a twinning programme. Yeah, I love India. But I love Malaysia more!
3. Yoon Seng actually thanked me in his blog for giving him a chance to act out what he wanted to act. I didnt know that he is so interested in writing and acting until I saw his blog, where he even uploaded pictures on it. Thanks YS for thanking me, hope you make it to UGM.
4. IELTS results for 1year programme is released. 2 students of my college scored Band 8.5. Haizz nobody scored Band9, and it makes me think of him again. Perhaps I really like him, but i just dont have the gut to tell or even hint to him.
5. Entrance test for University Gajahmada Indonesia is going to be held next week. Hope all my Indonesia bound friends can pass it and fly there this coming August.
6. My hatred towards him has reduced for no reason. My friend says my biggest problem is that I am not cruel enough to hate a person. Whenever he apologizes, I forgive him no matter what he does. Just because I dont want to lose a friend who treats me so well. I wont forgive him this time, because I want him to learn a lesson- Dont lie to girls. Dont scold them no matter what they did to you, and how much they hurt you.
7. Hottest rumour in my college- Wing Seng and Variant. I pass the privilege of Variant calling me "honey" to WS. Hope you two can start officially!
8. My practical examination for all 3papers falls in the morning, i mean, 8.30am! 1st batch some more. Sob Sob. Luckily YongYau is with me..Hahaha!! Lattest name for him--P3 practical examination answers provider.
Basically thats all for the update. I am stil continuing my life as a normal student who lepak around college compound when I am supposed to stick my butt on the chair and study. Ohya, I am in love with PingPong.
How nice if he can teach me..

Sudden emo-change
When 2 friends of mine couple up, I lose 2 friends..
Recently I feel that I am having lesser and lesser friends, simply because my distance with them increases.
Yet I am still very happy for them as they finally found their true love. Losing two friends is so "negligible" compared to the happiness that they managed to find with their partners, isn't this true?

dILemMa..
I just came up with a fact- Kasturba Medical College in India is not recognized by Singapore Medical Council (SMC).
Damn it!!!
I never know that an advanced country like Singapore does not recognise the MBBS of Kasturba Medical College, both Manipal and Mangalore which is ranked 5th among medical universities throughout the whole nation of India. Damn!
https://www.smc.gov.sg/html/1153709442948.html
I am on the tough way, a long road ahead. Robert Frost said that every decision will lead to the different pathway in life, changing the whole structure of your future. Yeah, I am standing right at the middle of a triangle now. Which corner shall I hide myself at when enemies attack? IMU, MMC or KMC?
Actually I was thinking about choosing either MMC or KMC-namely Melaka-Manipal College and Kasturba Medical College. MMC provides me with the duration I want, but it seems that their course structure is simply too easy. Maybe everybody will think that what is so bad about a relaxing lifestyle of a medical student? Perhaps my mindset is different, because I think that a person has to suffer alot before he/she manages to get what he/she wants in life. The same theory applies on this condition. Without tasting the bitterness in life, you wouldnt know the sweetness of sweet. Actually I rather suffer in India so that I am generally declared as a good doctor in the future, but it takes such a long time to complete my course there! 5.5years+extra housemanship before I can proudly get my certificate from the Dean. I love my family more that anything else, that's why I feel that I shouldnt go for it. One will certainly lose something in order to gain what he wants. Answer this question honestly: What is the value of a medical degree if you have missed many other things in life: family, love, or perhaps friendship?
Well, I must be a doink. Why am I keep persuading myself not to go for the full course?
This is the first decision in my life which I make according to what I want and what my heart thinks. I will not follow blindly where my friends are heading to, or the rumours saying that which place is better than the other.
Ming keeps persuading me to go for MMC. But my heart tells me that it is not as good as what people think. I know why he hopes I will go MMC, because he is there!!!Ok, I admit it is a nonsense explaination. Sometimes I feel very grateful because God has granted me with so many things in life, including this everlasting friendship. He hopes I will be there when he is sad or despair over things, or when he finally managed to get hmself a girlfriend. I always pray hard for him to get one, he is just too cool! There was once I asked him, would we still keep in contact after we have flied to different places? He said of course, but his answer is so uncertain. I am worried. Sometimes when you are used to having a person in your life, you will really feel sad to think about being apart.
(Pure friendship is impossible in my college, so we are trying very hard to let people think that we are strangers. I HATE rumours!)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
and Sorry I could not travel both.
Robert Frost chose the one less travelled by. How about me?

Memoirs of A Geisha by MadTV. Funniest video ever.
Rating: 9.5/10
- 0.5 marks of deduction due to the physical appearance of main character--should be uglier I think
Comments: I was wondering who came up with such an idea to alter the main theme of this movie, or perhaps the aura of a geisha. Proven that mankind has unlimited creativity and innovativity to create laughters.
Good job MadTV!
