One day, you'll win it all

Alright, time to catch up with my blog.

Thurs was like all Weiqi,in school this time round, which i got disappointed when i thought so little ppl turned up, but end up they just got the timing wrong. Friday was remedial, thai express lunch with ian, then weiqi with wenwei and zb. Over lunch ian was talking about ppl who dislike me behind my back which of cuz he didn't name lah. Thats his usual style, say abit, but hold back alot. Oh wells. No one is liked by every single person lah. I've got my frens, i 've got my club, i've got myself; i'm contented.

Saturday was Day 1 of Qiuping. I think everyone enjoyed themselves but i should have told everyone the meeting time for the next day in person then wangpeng wouldn't have came so late on sunday and left when he finally saw my sms. Ohwells.

Sunday was day 2 when i finally lost to siong hwai although i think it was a good fight, plenty of chances for myself. Then the last round i drew this 5dan from china who forfeited his first round becuz he was late and still finished 2nd. Though luck, i end up losing to both champ and runner up. But this 5dan was sure strong, i was losing right from the start. As Phillip said, 和他学一盘棋吧。

Anyway, finally i finished individual6th, down from 3rd last yr, but then in terms of strength i actually feel stronger. But then i dragged my sch down and despite 3 other guys, 2 of which are sec1s getting 4pts, we still dropped to 3rd, losing to Dunman High. Not sure abt Dunman high's strength since i didn't get to play with any of their players. Oh yeah anyway special mention to junyu, who also got 4pts but didn't make the team, like last year when he tied with other members in terms of pts but also didn't make the team. Look at it this way, 1yr never play still can tie them, put in effort for one year then surely can book a spot in the team!

More positives from the juniors. 3 of 'em got individual placings, up from 0 last year. Ernest 7th phb 6th and patrick 5th (drawing a 'wah, ri' from the rg gals sitting behind). Yayee. And they got team 2nd, up from 3rd last year. Now, now, when they get to sec 3, i hope they can keep up the good work.

Anyway at the debrief i got everyone to use 1 word to encapsulate the 2days' experience and say what they'd like to improve and what changes can be made to our trainings. Lets see how much i can remember: Patrick's word was 'exciting' Viet's was 'eye opener' phb's one was smth like 'satisfying' , Ernest's one was 'Patrick'(cuz he hada fluke loss to him). "Cool" was also thrown up although i can't quite attach a name to it. Mine is development: the sec1 batch, in their time in RI, will win it all one day. One day, you'll win it all.

Training wise, more sihuo, playing, game review. But really they must go online and use online resources to train since our once a week training means what we can do is really limited. With enthusiasm, we can overcome the time constraint.

Oh yes Xudong played very well, finishing individual 3rd. thats like, WOW, beating a kgs 9d along the way and only having a fluke loss to zhang xiang then finally finishing wei lai off. Zhang hao was asking me how come xudong improved so much. diao.

Oh yes at night was talking to serene and i found out that she quote my blog in her blog. Aiyoyo!!! plz hor... its 人面不知何处去,桃花依旧笑春风。 How come she quote until look so weird!~ Haha anyway she says shoutan that time the ppl were still there.... fine. But this time qiuping nchs really very little ppl liao. So can use the same phrase again yayee.

Anyway i'm now down with a cough. *coughs*

Oh yeah reminds me this day last yr was IAG camp i remember cuz it was right after Qiuping!! how time flies.

But some things never change. For example, the MP giving out prizes had a speech that retold the story of Lanke, the same thing another MP did last year. But some things do change. Like Nygh has gotten a junior team and got some prize. Like Nchs now, not sure if they got a junior team, but surely never win anything (no offence alison, juz work harder and ask serene dont drag jojo away from training!!). Like Alan yiheng zhiyuan are stronger now than i was when i was sec1. Like i'm stronger now than i was last year.

Thats what you call Progress.
