woohoo!! finally the national 'b' division competition has started! haha. waited so long for it. i'm excited. heehee. will be playing in an official competition since i changed my rubber. haha. so i was so expectantly getting to the place with LL on a cab. LL was so sweet, made ice milo for me to drink during my competition. thanks :) it was really really delicious. haha. so yea, we took a cab down. when we arrived, the place was already filled with people and man, they are all so PRO! like really. i felt really demoralised when i saw primary school kids playing at my standard and higher. phew, kids nowadays huh? reported and waited for my opponent to come.

(the name below was changed to protect the privacy of the character involved)
"BLAH BLAH BLAH! PLEASE REPORT TO THE OFFICIAL'S TABLE!"

and it went on for some time. so i was looking around frantically. but yup, my opponent was no where to be seen. so they finally went,

"LIU YING! PLEASE REPORT TO THE OFFICIAL'S TABLE!"

and so i did. i won. wow. 3-0. 33 points straight. i thrashed my opponent 11-0 in all three games. whoopee! haha. NAH! it was a walkover. shucks, wasted LL's effort and our time. sigh. in this situation, there's two sides. one side, i feel really disappointed for not having to play. it's like i'd rather lose than win by walkover. like so irritatingly lucky. haha. well the other side would be like, heck! i won anyway. next round here i come! LoL. yup, sad right? never mind. next match's on saturday evening. against another alien name. but somehow i heard her name somewhere before. hmm. just do my best right?

so like being really disappointed and irritated with not having to play, LL and i decided to leave. and guess where we went? LL brought me to this place called Singapore Action Group of Elders. sounds cool? the initials are even better. S.A.G.E! hahaha!! wicked sick! it's an old folks home which is refered as le lin to alot of tabletennis players. it's because there's a tabletennis room there which ALOT of ex-national players go to. so it's like an IMBA fortress. how pro? even RI/RGS/RJC standard can't win. LoL. maybe RJ got chance but still... anyway, i was so so amazed by the place. like super cool. and the old men there are really nice. cause i was new there and all. they saw me standing there with this burning desire to play so they gave me the chance to. i played with two people. first is this old guy who's going to be the veteran for changkat next year. he's not bad! i lost. shucks, i could've made it a more even fight. it's ok! i'll beat him next time. then i played with this guy but i forgot his name! he's quite famous in sg tabletennis. heard even national players have tough time playing against him. and yea, i got trashed. but it was fun fun fun! haha. and he taught me some techniques which i found really useful. going to use them during my next match. yup! haha. so i kept playing set after set with this guy till it was like? 11plus? oh no. LL signalled me to end it. and then we left. his dad came to fetch us. lucky! we're at toa payoh man. so far far away. so we went for supper which kind of sucked. the food all tasted like it was kept overnight and brought out to cook again. seriously, LL's cooking can beat them anytime. trash them flat! haha. really love LL's cooking. :)

so now i reach home already. bathed already. going to sleep soon. just thought that i'd like to update on how cool S.A.G.E. is! haha. think i'll frequent that place again soon. hehe.
