| Badminton Suddenly chi jor sin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
kind of settled down after the softball champfight
settled down to study
settled down to think
when i think about it's soon gonna be the end of my students life
the end of one period and the start of another period
there can be lots to think about
sometimes have been thinking about badminton
hku badminton team
Have had so much memories in badminton
in the court, in the competitions
Still rmb the kind of volleyball shorts we like to wear when we were in primary school... haha
I like wearing the red one most
and some people call me 辣椒仔 (that's what dad told me)
Still rmb i lost to Angie and cannot make it to 埠際賽 in p.4 (the first match i won 11:1 and then lost the 2 matches afterwards...)
Rmb the matches i lost to kotszmei
1st time vs kotszmei lost 12-15 in the TST YMCA
lost once in fun ling
That time dad told me after the match, that he knew i was going to lost this close fight before, because he saw me 打得好唔認真 in the doubles that day earlier, and he knew it's going to affect my performance. I cried that time after the loss
And was a bit too nervous and didnt play well in jing ying compeitition in p.6 and lost
Always remembered we went to inter-port in primary school
most of the time doing stupid things rather than playing competitoins =D
being scared by the 'soldiers' when going back to the dorm (they were wathcing films together)
Played with 蚊帳 and FungYimSau's rabbit
Ate 窩貼 and were very happy
Did "project" together (at my home?)
(but i have forgotten what results we got in the inter-ports)
Remembered i often walked from home to 港灣道 for trainings with dad
dad often told me 2 things, repeatedly
1. When an actor went onto the stage, no matter whether there is only 1 audience or a full house of audiences, he will say his speeches and act out his drama all the same. Once the spot lights are on, he will forget who he is and he won't be able to see the audiences. He will just 全情投入 into his role in the drama. And it should be applied into my badminton competitions
2. My life is like a Marathon race. I have run no longer than 1/4 of the race. Learn all you can at this stage and it's okay not to run too fast in the beginning. There is still a long long way to go.
Then i got into secondary school
a little bit more sun foo in trainings becos' it's more tiring after school at 4pm
remembered we went to interport in f.2, and played a lot of 耍盲雞,
someone dived into the windows in the hotel room, and 陳德健 broke a glass table
First time to went to malaysia for competitions, lost too quiclky and most of the time playing in the hotel... did gym and played in the swimming pool together with 張智卓 and 陳純青 -.-
Then went to nanjing in f.3 and brunei in f.5
Only rmb we took pic with slau in nanjing, don't rmb much in brunei
There were more memories of playing competitions but less memories of stupid things in secondary schools, esp higher forms
(is that what we usually got when we start to grow up?)
Remembered i was very nervous in some matches in fun ling competitions
that i have to force myself to listen to mp3s on the whole way to 蒲崗村 otherwise i cannot calm down
Remembered once in semi-finals vs ah lin, losing 10:13 in the 3rd match, then finally won 15:13, after the match lau told me, in the beginning she wasn't worried about me because i am used to 打逆景波, until it went on to 10:13 haha. That time dad did not come to watch me because he needs to go to work, but followed all over the results in the phone (with Ng Uncle?)
The next year in fun ling (that was the summer after CE) vs ah lin again. Ah lin has already played full time for about a year at that time? And at that time the CE results was not yet released. Before the match, dad said to me, just play and do ur best. Today is the time when ah lin is going to see her effort paid in the court. He said ur efforts are paid when the CE results are released.
Remembered the DGS badminton team. Remembered we lost the overall in F.4. And then recaptured in F.5. Every year before the final vs HYS we were so excited and nervous. We wait for 1 whole year only for that match... Remembered the cheering team. Remembered laukay beat mongkwanyi in A grade. In B grade, Wong Ying Tung garp Katy played till all others have finished. Remembered the xx xxx xxxx 拔萃
Then after secondary school basically i think all i can get from badminton is almost there. It's hard to go beyond that level anymore if i don't play full time. I still like to play, but somehow it can't be the same feeling as before. Can't find some matches that I really want to win very much. Trainings are for keeping 狀態 for upcoming competitions and for enjoying with my teammates.
The thing I remembered most in trainings is that Ah 佳 and I like to play single with each other every time haha. And every time it takes a long time.
Have gone to 全國大學生 in year 1 August, was extremely sleepy when i went up to mainland after deadly 7 days and a summer course exam. This must be the most unforgettable experience i had in badminton in university. Extremely hot. Extremely sleepy. Extremely tired. Uncountable number of matches (esp singles) day and night. 打單打打到燥左. --> Ended up "熱衰竭" and vomitting and then twisted my knee. Ah bun 陳純青 (and Ah 佳?) o係度o羊我. Haha that time was very funny actually.
Then went to China again in Oct in year 2 1st sem. Did not rmb the competition. Only remembered I phoned back when they were having exco meeting and ended up so worried.
Had the 選拔賽 of 24th Universiade in march in Year 2. Rushed to CityU in Lau Uncle's car after the wet Softball champfight vs WL. Was so sorry to FungYing about all the arrangements. Was frustrated with myself because everything clashes together and seems to be in a mess. Those were the days near the Campaign.
Training in summer in CityU, usually after work in AXA till 6 and go to CityU. Then back to hall. Haha actually don't remember what i have trained. Remembered the 步法s and 多球s. Sunny Chau's were more sun foo than Missie's.
Went to Bangkok in Aug. After deadly 5 days, before the 2nd F&S. Slept for about 3hours x 4 = 12 hours in the previous 5 days. Life experience haha. Basically slept all the way from Pokfulam to Bangkok. Reli don't know how to describe apart from "Life Experience". Was very worried and used up a lot of phone cards all the way.
HKU badminton team
When i think about hku badminton team i always feel sorry
for i didn't put a lot of time in it and always think that i didn't help enough
I think i have missed almost all of the 慶功 functions (because every time it clashes with either my campaign or my ha chong's campaign...), sing k functions, interflows with Japanese, ging gwor functions and even the campaigns... Ah! I remembered I went to watch fiilm and took sticker photos and then ate mcdonalds once in year 1 and went to 船河 once with people from japan in year 2!
But i have really enjoyed the time there in Flora Ho. Esp in year 3, for a certain period of time the happiest and the normal maykwan appears only in the badminton court in FloraHo but not anywhere else.
In primary and secondary school, "badminton" means a lot to me. In university, the great change is that, "badminton" almost does not mean anything to me. What makes "badminton" still means sth to me, is "team"
Conclusion...
1. Was extermely happy that manman and mimi came over to watch me and laukay playing the important softball match that day
2. Start to look forward a bit to the last 全國大學生 which we are going to play together
3. I suspect I will probably be more duc harn to play in FloraHo after graduating than when i am still studying. Add oil Mimi, Jessie and Michelle! and B Jai, KwokYiHo DaiHo also!
