My performance improved today, but I don't know if it's the bat or I just got lucky. Early in the morning, it's just to practise. But I did get a doubles match with An Qi and the twins, so that's 3 left handers in one match. Still won all 3 times though. Then I stroked with Yi Kar for a bit before leaving for lunch with Julian.

Same thing as last week, couldn't be bothered to get anything else besides a Hot Fudge Sundae. We camped outside the station watching the time. 3 mins on the board. I ate my ice cream and finished it with 1 minute remaining to rush into the station, down the escalators just in time to see the train pull over. Went back to school to continue part 2 of training.

Coach as usual put me at the last table. When I was about to start the 2nd game, he told me to go back down and let Yi Kar take my place. Then I let Xin Wei play. After that, Kai Shiun came and we played alternately. At about 3.30, I think, Coach made me play with Celeste. Celeste and Jia Wei wanted Doubles, but he said no because she has her tournament coming up. So it was Celeste vs me and Daryl vs Jia Wei. That's a 4th Daryl I'm mentioning in this blog. I was full on form then because to be honest, she looked quite tough. First set 11 - 0. 2nd set 10 - 12. Then I won the 3rd and 4th set. There were a number of lucky balls and I had to run around like I always do because of my tendency to fang gao qiu. Daryl won his match 3 - 1 as well.

After that, Coach called for a Doubles match. Si Min and I vs Daryl and Gerrad(is that how you spell his name?). Whatever I'll call him Carrot :D. We lost the first set and I think Si Min was quite pissed after that because I did not match their standards, but after that we took 3 straight sets to win 3 - 1, again.

And then in the final game of the day, I was made to play against the same pair but with a different partner, Benedict. I could just tell that we were going to lose 3 - 0 100% having played that previous match. And we did. I told Benedict that if we won I'll give him 20 cents (I'm a cheapo, I can't afford stuff) but of course I didn't try to lose.
