Perhaps I should talk about something other than TT once in a while in this blog... talking too much about the same stuff may bore my blog and its owner to tears. Also don't want to go ranting about the prospect of the team 'merging' their training sessions with the sec sch next year... as it seems like there is little or even nothing I can do at all. In my HUMBLE OPINION (disclaimer: it is just my personal opinion and you are free to disregard it) *ahem*, '1 of the coaches' there sucks(both coaching skills and personality), full stop. Which is why I really really hope the training won't be combined. I'm sure the new coach which the players are going to have can do a good enough job and won't need any help from his 'counterpart'.
In any case what's going to happen is beyond my control, I reiterate. I can only cross my fingers and sincerely hope that the girls will not be negatively affected by any of such changes. I hope that their actions which are more or less fine now will not be 'any-o-how-changed' and no drastic changes will take place, with the exception of their improvement(i.e. 'drastic' improvements in their skills are certainly welcome). Feeling helpless at the moment. The exchange has already been arranged and it is perhaps a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity which I don't wish to miss. But with such plans come uncertainties. I don't even know the plans after my return too... not sure if they will still want me to coach them. Even if I do, I don't know for how long more I can do so either, for its just a matter of time that I start being bombarded with the duties of a 'cher'. But I know that I certainly will miss the few 'young ones' that I have started training. 1 P1 girl, 1 P3 girl, and 1 P4 girl. Not gonna mention names but it shouldn't be hard to guess who they are at all.
Anyway, on Sunday I came to find out about a coming competition that will be held in the nov/dec school holidays. Felt very excited to see it and immediately informed K's mum about it and asked them to inform the rest of the players too. Really glad that they managed to form a team of 7 people in such a short notice. I'm heartened to see how interested the players are in participating in competitions. It is certainly a good sign. I hope that in this competition, at least a few of them can emerge as medallists in the individual events. Also hope that their team can win a medal.
One moment I said I don't want to talk about TT all the time, and another moment I did it unknowingly. Going senile already, from all that studying. =P Oh yes... I remember now. I wanted to talk about happier things! Gonna participate in a competition this weekend... and its not a TT competition. Guess what? It's a competition to search for the person who can type SMS the fastest. =D Feel quite amused myself that I've actually signed up to take part in such competitions during such a time(with exams nearing), but I think it will be a good break for me from studying. The happiest part being... a friend is going to be there to support me all the way. Since young, I don't remember having any friend/s who would go support me all the way(from the start to the end) in a competition. The most touching part is knowing that this friend will have an appt on the day of the finals that has been arranged weeks ago, but yet he says to me 'If ya get into semi or finals i'll wait. Chance of a lifetime won't want to miss ur moment of glory :) '. My heart melted... it's no longer in the solid state. =P
Don't you think that one of the best things in life is having such supportive and wonderful friend(s) around you? =)
