mssm 2008

k it has been a while since i last update my blog cause i was so busy with squash and study. but now since my mssm have finished, i am quite free. last week was the mssm. penang send 4 boys and 4 girls for that tournament. we went with 7 officials!!!! that is an average of 1 official per player. looks like they dont trust us. we went on monday morning. me, max, nicholas and fakhrul are the boys who went for that tournament. fakhrul was not suppose to go but since brian didnt go cause he need to study which i think he will regret the decision (i will tell later why) so fakhrul get to go. the girls who went there were wee nee, slim, nessrine and yi lian. we went there using a 42 seater bus which means each one of us can take at least three seat. we went there around 8.30 a.m and reach crystal crown hotel at 2. this is the first time mssm have let the players be placed at 4 star hotel rather than hostel as usual.

after we rested for a while, we went to the courts to get used to it. played rather bad till someone came when all my shots suddenly so good. that person really bring good luck to me but i wasted the chance to talk to that fellow cause i try to buat mahal. so stupid!!! after that we went back to hotel and ate at a mamak shop nearby. the food was so awful and so scary to se a human flower horn there. the second day we went for the opening ceremony at stadium cheras. wear a funny suit which will even make the clown feel ashamed!!! stayed there for two hours to see some rubbish people talking and marching. then after that we went back to hotel and then went to eat at seksyen 14. wanted to eat at pizza hut but suddenly saw someone in pizze hut and changed my mind and ate mc donald. really regret that.

wednesday was the start of the tournament.i got a bye in the first round cause seeded second then beat a terengganu player in second round before beating aaraf in quarter. played very well although i injured my hand. then on thursday i played in the semi against elroy. played quite well in the first set and won that set. second set i manage to play well and the score was 7-7 when i do two stupid mistake and elroy won 9-7. third set was the worst of the all. elroy won the first two points before i won the next five. and guess wat!!! i lost the next 7 points straight. damn it!!! in the forth set i let elroy lead 5-0 and then i started to play squash but it was too late. lost 9-5. the refree is really a jerk!! will not comment further cause it could cause some outrage. then in the final elroy beat azri. elroy played well but still feel he played me better. anyway i am proud of elroy. really have improved and played with guts not like many more who dont even push at all.

in the evening was the team event. played sarawak and we won 3-0. i played terrinder... 1st set was really nice. he lead 8-5 before i manage to win 10-8. he was tired n the second set and lost 9-0. after that at 6p.m played pahang. nicholas lost before i manage to beat aaraf 9-1,9-1.played better than the 1st match played against him. max manage to beat ardy 2-0. he played really well and i am happy with him. someone must be proud of him. then the next day we played sabah and we beat them 3-0. so we were through to quarter. but looks like lady luck was not on our side. we need to play selangor in quarter. imagine this. the best team playing the second best team in early round. anyway we still played al out. nicholas lost to samuel 2-0 then i played azri.this match is wat suppose to be the real final match. zri agreed to play his best cause he say he think this match as the final match. i manage to win the 1st set 9-7 before losing the next two set. so penang were out. i was really sad and i decided to take full responsiblity on the team failure. i was angry with myself and decided to train after the match for two hours. manage to improve on my drops.hope my beloved coach will try to improve on my finishing touch cause it is awful.

so we went back to hotel with sad feeling. the final for the boys team event was between selangor and pahang!!! we beat them in quarter!!! oh my god!!! and for girls is between penang and kedah. selangor and penang won respectively. during the prize presentation i only got one medal while nicholas and max got none. was so sad when selangor took on the podium to receive the team event medal. really feel that medal was ours. suddenly there was a suprise. they announce that there will be a dream team comprising me, azri, elroy, hanjie and max!! while for the girls is nessrine, wee nee, siew foong, ann gee and sarah .

we will be sent to hong kong for hong kong junior open. damn happy and suprised. suprised cause didnt expect it and happy cause .... think u all know why! cant wait for that tournament. soon after that we went to stadium cheras for closing ceremony. low wee nee and elroy was choosen the best player for mssm. the ceremony was held for 3 hours. damn tiring. after that we went back to hotel and then went to midvalley till 10p.m. then after reach hotel played card with rashid my new friend and then lepak at kl room for a while before went back to room and talk to rashid till 5.30a.m. slept for a while and then woke up at 6.30a.m and then get ready to go back at 7. reach home at 2 and then play computer for a while before slept till next morning.k thats all i can rite.. oh ya the one bout brian. he must be angry cause he act like star and didnt play in mssm and at last didnt get to go hong kong. haha!! next time be humble and play all the tournament!!

rafie

k this is rafie bin SAHARI. he used to stay in penang and play squash for penang. now he is studying in sabah. he is a good boy and very independent. he stayed and studied in penang all by himself. i really respect that. staying in a place like penang alone is really amazing. now he play squash for sabah and might play in the upcoming sukma games. he is very friendly and have a lot of friends. when he use to stay in penang, he always come to my house and overnight there. all my relatives knows him and like his attitude. he always mix with the small kids and is not action. he is quite down too earth .

dont change the system

now there have been some talk bout changing the system of learning science and maths in english back to malay which was used before the year 2003. i think changing the system back to malay will be unwise cause students will have problem when they go and studies overseas. since english is the lingua franca in many countries, students who intend to study overseas will have less problem to adjust to the new learning system abroad. furthermore, more students are getting good results in their maths and science exam so i think studying in english is the best solution. although some people are complaining that science and maths in english are very hard, but they only make up of small number of people especially the malays and the bumiputeras in sabah and sarawak. other student are very happy with this system. if the ministry of education changes the system back to malay, all the hardwork for the past 5 years will be wasted. teachers who are teaching the two subjects will need to go for courses to get used to the malay system. this is very time consuming and expensive. so i think the ministry should not change the system and continue the system to make education system in malaysia on par with other countries.

sport day!!!

well sorry cause i didnt update my blog lately. mainly cause i am busy studying for my mid term exam next month. need to do well after horrifying result in my first test last month. k today is my sport day. skip my morning jogging routine to be perfectly fit for my sport day event which is the 4x400m relay. i am a wu lien teh which is the green house and have won the sport day for the past 4 years in a row. and this year we are aiming for a straight 5. i went to school slightly late cause my event is the last event. went there and saw some of my friends and also my competitors. most of my competitors have utmost respect for me although i am slow this year. they keep saying that my team will surely win cause i am in the team. i didnt care bout all that praise cause i dun want to lose focus. so i went to my green house tent and talk with my teammates bout our strategy. so the strategy is to make me the second runner while sarvin who is the fastest as the last runner. my event is at 5.30 so i ate a burger first. then went to talk to my friends and support some of my green house mates who is running. then after that watch band performance. then after that was my event. we got the first lane. ooi who is the first runner ran quite slow and when he pass me the baton, we were fourth. then as soon as i got the baton, i ran as fast as i could. i overtook all the runners in front of me and was first till the last 100 meter before a yellow house runner overtook me. a red team runner tried to overtake me as well but i manage to run faster than him before passing the baton to jude benedict. he is quite fast and by the time he passes the baton to sarvin, we were almost 30 metres ahead of the second team. then sarvin ran so fast that we finish 50 metres ahead of the second team which is the red team. i celebrated with my teammates and we receive the gold medal with proud and honour. then the closing ceremony was held. red team was choosen as the best marching team and the best tent decoration. then for the best sportsman award, a blue team runner won it for class 3. sarvin won the class 2 sportsman as well as the best athlete for the sport day cause he broke the school 800metre record. green house won the best team for the sports day. this is our fifth consecutive title and we aiming for more in future time. i hope i will be choosen as the house captain next year cause i know i am capable to lead wu lien teh to a greater height.

2nd leg

well i didnt update my blog for the past one week cause i went to pahang for the 2nd leg of the sportexcel. iwent there on thursday and played my first match on friday. i played with afeeq in the first round. what a match it was. a five setter match which last more than 1 hour. i won the match after hitting him and got a stroke in the last point. i won the fifth set 9-7. then the second match i played kah wah. the first set i lost 9-5 and the second and third set i lost 9-2. ii was very sad after the match cause i had injured kah wah's leg which cause him the match against azri. i really feel that i was to be blame for that. i hope he will recover as soon as possible. then i played marcus in the afternoon. lost 3-0. played so badly that i decided not to think bout that match at all. played like a piece of jerk. lost 9-0 in the third set. then in the last day played andre. won the first set 9-1 then lost the next three set. the main reason is he changed the pace of the game i still played like the normal pace. then i also lost my source of motivation after the first set. really need to improve cause all my opponent have improved really much especially azri. need to catch up with them and cannot be left behind. need to improve the sharpness of my shorts and be react faster to my opponents shorts. mssm coming in 2 weeks time. not aiming too high just hoping the draw is good and can enter the semi and also too help my team win the under 18 team event.

show some respect!!

we have been shocked with the released of the movie "fitna". this movie which is created by dutch member of parliament Geert Wilders. this movie have caused outrage among muslims around the world. the released of this movie really shows how disrespect wilders is to muslims. he is trying to be a smart alex without knowing that he is the number one target to the al-qaeda terorrist. i think everyone should show respect to other religion and sensitivity. this kind of fool act should not be done. the consiquences of this act is really devastating to the dutch economy. some muslim countries are starting to boycott dutch products. some of well known dutch products are Shell, Philips, and Dutch Lady. imagine all the muslims in the world boycott dutch product, then the dutch will be in trouble. their economy gonna fall down. the health ministry had even cancelled all the purchase of medicine from dutch. this havoc is all because of the idiot name wilders who is an atheis(no religion). i hope no one will do this stupid thing again. and for the muslims, dont try to get a revenge and do a movie bout other religion which can cause outrage as this will cause a worse consiquences.
