Blog Entry Review

A friend of mine had a blog entry on his blog recently and i feel obliged to respond here.

This is what he said:

In response, I would first like to say that it I concede he fully deserved the two victories (among the hundreds of loses) and in the two games, he probably did exceedingly well, compared to his other performances in these months that is. He devised this new (for him) and cunning serve which he executed well in these two games. Strong side spin on it. Even though I thought i knew how to counter many types of spins, that spin was difficult to handle and I had a problem returning the serve well enough to put myself in advantage. till now, i still dun have a good solution to respond to the serve. Rarely being in the backseat, I was unsettled for some time.

okay back to the review. i wasnt surprised to see this entry cos knowing him, he loves to win. and will definitely blog abt such things. Reading it was seriously cool to beat gum in 2 consecutive games, i felt it was expected. however, the words "ulti-fast and swift smashes" were a bit hard to swallow. firstly, praise should be showered on u by ppl who recognise your strengths, not by written by youreself to heap praise onto yourself! He did manage to smash for a number of times and they were great hits. but i dun think it was those smashes that really won the game for him. those earned him points but more importantly my inability to deal with his serves was probably the crucial turning point. in addition, i believe there were many unforced errors on my part, particularly when i had a bad spell during which i did not manage to get the ball over the net for many many times. =((

Moving on to the momentum was right, yes. indeed. being shaken, i lost a bit of form and he gained the upper hand in terms of morale and form. furthermore, his childish actions like jumping here and there and passing the ball poorly was always going to make me more demoralised, it always does. lol. dun understd la!

demoralised face? oh gosh i din get to see that part. i was pretty down, but i dun think he had to say that? haha perhaps it was really bad. from my memory, i was putting on a silly smile throughout when i laughed at my inability to get the ball across the net or something liddat. demoralised? hmm. i dunno how much of that i showed. i was quieter? how to meng talk when u are losing sia. haha cannot make it trying all means to calm down and get hold of myself and remain calm, maybe thats why look "stern" or "serious".

and last but definitely not least: THRASHING? oh man. this is the part where i cannot accept the most. i would most definitely concede that he deserved both victories. and that his serves were great, some smashes and change of direction was well done! but thrashing? hmmm. i dun think he thrashed me bah?? one game i lost from a deuce, so probably about 15-13 or 14-12? the other one wasnt that bad ba? i would have gotten about 6 at least? cant rmbr, but thrashing is too much of a stab on me to take.

This blog entry had taken off much of his credit for winning me. i dun see why he should use those words that gives an inaccurate account of the whole incident. it was more of a personal attack by saying that he was happy to see my demoralised face la!

nonetheless, i still honestly and sincerely congratulate him for winning and learning how to smash better.

hahahahahhahaha =D

there you go, ur expected and eagerly awaited full-length paohong. see next time u dare to haolian or not! win more than haolian!!!!! win justin and wx first la!



(just a side note to him reading this entry: i really din like the line u said when we were at the court. mug too much until cannot think? or something along that line. firstly, i wasnt mugging that much. and secondly if u urself mug, i dun think u have the right to say such things.)
