Badminton Tournament report

I LOSE.

yea, i did, in a very SAD way. T_____T

my single starts first, but opponent never come so i walked over. fine.

then i waited 3 hours for next match: mixed double. My friend is terribly strong they keep smash us we lose in less than 10 minutes time. I think there's only 6 or 7 mins only? and the worst is that i dint even get to hit much at all. They're all aiming my friend. It sucks when you are standing there, witnessing your friend getting hit and you cant help it. In overall i think i only use up to 5% only. Not even a good smash or skill or technique is been used AT ALL.

Due to the 'lucky' walked over for my single, i have to go on day 2. My opponent is a Laos state level player. Damn i almost lost in a 21-0 game man. but at least this time i get to hit more than 42 balls. But skill used about 15-20% only? SAD giler. oTL

Guess i'm really LAME. should train more so i can be better next year! Found a very very cool girl who is able to play as well as a guy, totally adore her! She gaves me a very good motivation and inspiration to become better! *__*

They got mixed double champion, the match is epic. Caught some shots that i'm satisfied but due to the lousy lighting in the hall PLUS with high shutter picture, the ISO had to be set high. Hence the noise is so much and the quality suck big time. >_>

In this tournament are some Laos national players (the bro and sis pair is awesome), taiwanese, malaysia KL state player and the rest i not sure but there are several very good as well, better than last year.

Badminton Tournament

Yea, for the first time ever, i joined college's closed badminton tournament. Rest assure, i join not because i'm that super awesome, in fact, i'm LAME. LOL. You see, i dont have the strength to hit it hard, i dont know how to smash... i guess i'm already losing half before the match starts. ^^;

Had been wanting to join a mixed double match since the guy will be able to cover my weaknesses. Randomly found one and to my surprise he plays for his school last time. Well, this doesnt mean he is superb too, that was at least 5 years ago. ^^;

Why am i downgrading myself before the tournament? I joined both Women single and Mixed double. For women single, i'm playing the first match. =_=
As for Mixed double, is the 7th match. and its against my very own friend/classmate. XD But from what i know and experience, both of my friend is power player. Meaning they hit the ball very hard and both knows to smash. and that on monday 8 of them went for training for 5 hours!! crazy sial~ and that they were train for smash and tapping. I'm finished. T__T

I only train 4 times nia. First was about 2 weeks ago, about half - 1 hour warm-up practise. Then 2 hours there and 1.5 hr on Sun and 2.5 hrs on Mon. Not enough man~ too rush jor, and all are play at random floor and road. >_> all were fully booked by participants. oTL

Hope luck will be with me since all the practise was not done in a court. So i'm fearing the technique and speed are there but keep getting off court, then it did be useless. oTZ
