yesterday (good friday) was a joyous day for me. i have not played in any major pairs competition for years except for the absolutely imba nus and ntu opens (due to the fact that most jc students being grouped in the same section, and i am always in the other section). although i did not partner my regular partner, i feel quite pleased with the overall results. 50% for 1st session (12th position) and 54% for 2nd session (6th position). overall, i am placed 9th. in the first session, nothing much can be done. however, for the second session, i committed my pair to drop in ranking by getting absolutely bottom for 3 boards. if not for that, i would be placed much higher, although i still won't be in top 3.
yesterday is also a joyous day for chengyen. he got 2nd for mixed pairs with yiwen and 3rd for open pairs with kenneth. hopefully, he will get selected by the committee to represent singapore for school pabf team.
yesterday is also a joyous day for xuet ying. its her birthday. i did not know at first, until friendster send me a reminder. LOL! i think she assume everyone must know her birthday.
yesterday is also a joyous day for my student jiewei. she debuted in the mixed pairs with kenneth. although the results are not that good, i think its a valiant first step. hopefully she will continue to persevere in this circle and hopefully, represent singapore someday. something that i haven't been able to achieve.
TODAY will be the open teams. my target is not to fall below any jc teams. quite a humble target! but i think it is bein realistic, as the other teams are all national teams or comprised of ex-national players. my team has no one in national team before. so the target has to be realistic.
i will update this blog once easter congress has been completed.
