Today's Table Tennis performance was unsatisfactory. I was dismissed at 1.20, so I could reach PLMGS in time to witness the C Division playing, which was embarrassing to watch. We are such a failure now. Our opponent proved to be formidable, or was it just the fact that the other schools had trained harder than us? SJI had only 1 China Player, which our very own counterpart lost to. Then Yi Kar and Zi Ping lost the 1st Doubles, our Xiao-Master failed at what he did best, possibly because his opponent had stronger attack capabilities. That sealed the win for them, followed by the untimely arrival of our own intimidating players made-to-win. If only the 2nd and 3rd Singles of either side's lineup had swapped, we would have won. But what's happened has happened, and there is no such thing as "If only", it will never happen.
Our B Division faced Sports School once again and it was another intense 2 hour match as Benedict lost the 1st Singles 3 - 0, our first China Pair balanced it in the 1st Doubles, then Sean got trashed by National Player Pang Xue Jie, while the second China Pair made it equal again, then we cleaned up with our final China Player. It was nothing to be proud of even though it was a win for us, because none of the Locals did the work. And the Locals in Sports School could match our tougher players. The 2nd Singles match would have been more interesting to watch if it had been one of our China players, but that would mean that the defeat of Sports School didn't exist, it would have been the other way round.
Our China players were always defeated by any fellow opponent of the same race, we used them extensively and that was how we claimed our Title of 1st in National Table Tennis. Now our reputation has gone down because we cheated and failed, and we did not improve as much as the other schools, to the point that Local players could now beat the seemingly invincible players of the team. This is why I feel that the School is being dishonorable and we do not deserve these awards that have been gained through unfair advantage. We failed this year, and the worst part was that our B Division team was the same as last year, only with an increased amount of China "Talent". However, this was rivaled by the massive improvement of the other schools, who seem to have enhanced their own players to the point that our most powerful players are no match for them, and they also brought the previously C-Division players over, who seem to have been refined as well.
