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!!
