I didn't post anything beside another lame survey yesterday. I have nothing to post about ytd except I was supposed to crash PJC but the lamo WP didn't bring his phone and by the time he used WR phone and call me i was already out. Not wanting to go through the hassle of returning home and changing into my school uniform, i decided not to go anymore.
I was at cck sports hall from 2 all the way to 10pm at night (closing time). And trust me, I didn't plan this, it was natural and I just noticed it was 10 all of a sudden. Ok, but I didn't exactly play nonstop for 8 hours. I don't have godly stamina.
I went there, no one to play with. Only got girls division badminton competition on one side. I saw their standards. It's quite ok. I think nanyang girls is the most ownage i think, and Fuhua too. Their school the girls look and try to emulate guys when they're playing. When girls play badminton, it looks like they are using all their strenght and arm swing to hit the shuttle, but when guys play it's like they only use their wrist and minimal movement. It's like their very relax. Not that I came up with this, I heard this from somewhere. Too bad i missed the guys competition yesterday. gals division is wayyy too boring to watch...can fall asleep.All their lobbing like almost halfcourt halfcourt one. But it doesn't seem so because they can get away with it. Backhand halfcourt ball also can get away with it. They have decent technique though. and kranji lost. YAWN boring. After that I played nonstop till 9 plus.
Naruto is out! and somehow I feel very excitied because fillers are over and this is where the story takes of. Very interesting now to see what happens. And good thing is that my downloads are cruising at quite a good rate...
Okok. Ive played tennis 3 times over the CNY period. tennis is a good sport too but I think it has less technique involved compared to badminton. There's no battle of finese at the net or any control play involved. Though tennis is still undeniably fun...but...badminton is surely better. I don't know why (and sometimes I get pissed), because people have the misconception that badminton is easy and all you have to do is to stand in the middle of the court n hit the birdie. Thats noobminton, not badminton for goodness sake. Real badminton is really tough. Sometimes I really dislike people who play noobminton for spoiling the image of the sport. But either way, everyone has to be a noob at some point of his or her life..
Misconception #2 is that badminton players have alot of arm strenght, which is totally wrong. I don't know why but badminton doesn't seem to build the "arm strenght" in me. My hand is totally like crappy weak but i can do decently in badminton. Thus, arm strenght doesn't really play a significant role in badminton. In smashes it does, well, slightly. But mainly the power comes from the wrist, and you don't have to have a powerpacked wrist to be able to play badminton well. All you need is a flexible one. Im somewhat consoled that im actually weak. Because I'm weak, i can be certain that my technique is good and im not using pure strenght to hit the shuttlecock to the baseline.
Now i want to play badminton AND tennis. Ive skipped dota for like the past 1-2 days because Ive played too much of it during CNY. Dota is boring, and so is cybergaming. PLs cut the crap about cyber gaming and cyber sports. To brand such games as Sports is an insult to the word "sport" itself......
Yawn. everyone's out and there's no food in the house. I wanna go get some ba kua soon.
Recently I stay awake till verylate at night. Not playing games or using com but instead, trying to fall asleep. Many things weighin in my head nowadays...
