Its a critical and tough period for me now. Project deadlines are around the corner. I have to submit 2 big projects by this Wednesday and to make things worse the projects are yet to be perfected for submission. Well at least I still have 1 week left but this doesnt seem very long cause I have to juggle between 2 projects. Its ok as long as God is helping me =). Come to think of it I have not been a very good example to a Christian lately. During my Badminton games I have been shouting alot as well as scolding lots of vulgarities. You name it, I've said it, thats how bad it is =(. I've been letting my temper show recently and normally I managed to stay cool and calm. I guess the pressure for me to improve is building up since I had a layoff due to injury. I still have alot more to go in order to try to hit the highest level of badminton in Singapore. Thats a very very tough goal to accomplish, maybe even a dream. Well I still wouldnt give up on it till I know I've reached my limits.

I've been training alot of weights and doing shuttle-less strokes to improve my badminton gameplay. Well I guess I'm expecting to see lots of results and improvements due to all these inputs. Smashing incorrectly would just make my blood boil even though its the 1st smash that I execute. Perfectionist eh? Yesterday I just realized that all this training would come to nothing if my technique isnt right in the first place. I just learnt how to relax myself while smashing which makes me not so stiff after all. Boy I can so feel the difference in power and speed in the shuttle now. I guess the stiffness breaks the energy flow from the body to the arms and to the shuttle hence resulting in a weak smash. Good news is I'm heading the right way but the bad news is I learnt that during the end of my badminton session yesterday. I seriously hope that I can still remember to be relax and execute the proper strokes like I did next time I play.

I still have to be a good boy and not scream and shout on the court! Need to exercise more self-control and discipline as well. In this way I'll become a better Christian and Badminton player as well hahah! =D.
