Prelims's in less than a week. 4 days to be exact.
4 years. Gone just like that.
Okok, my 'remembrance' post for Crescent shall be done at the end of the year, when I have more free time.
Looking forward so some awfully exciting moves at tabletennis tmr.
The Olympics just renewed the love for Table tennis in me. I used to be a table tennis player, you know. I still remember how, on my first training, I was so hyped up for it, ready to start. But I guess I went too fast, trying to run before I could even walk. The coach shouted at me to go to a corner and practice bouncing the ball on the racket, at least 20 times. It's not easy on first try, you know. It's not as simple as you think.
After I finally got control of my wrist and knew how to balance myself, I thought I was ready. Boy, was I proven wrong! After a few hits and misses, time to clear the balls from the floor. It's really a game that makes you start right from the beginning, right from scratch. It wasn't easy, but I got through it. In one piece.
Soon, I started learning strategies. How to control the curves of a ball in mid-air. How to return a fast but corner ball. When to use energy and when not to. I was learning. Competitions, school-based, nation based. I took part in them, yes. But why did I stop after P4? I can't recall the details, but I think it was too time consuming. Either that or my fire for the sport had just died off.
It was a short 2 years, but I remember it as if it were today. What I would give to play it once more. My racket's gone, my skills rusted. How will I play?
