May Ong Vs Emily Ng
I was defeated 9-6.
I felt something amissed before my match. My energy was totally drained out for that match. I couldn't find back e strength I've got in e previous matches. This time even how I forced myself to concentrate, my strokes and vision wouldn't allow me, instead worsened. I just could not fight on.. Lack of something. Perhaps experience really counts, which lacks in me.
After e game, I told myself : Its ok Emily, Jiao Lian will understand this. And that remember he told you, win/lose it doesn't matter now. You must be patient enough to accomplish better results. I believed that when he's back he will smile to me and tell me that again. Yeah, no matter what, I was once a semi-finalist in National 9Ball Championships. I will train harder to achieve a better result! I wanna excel in this! And I will... with all my determination and hardwork, I shall do it one fine day!
Charlene : Luck of e draw is always part of e match, but luck of e draw couldn't bring you all e way!
In this competition, especially e last match I had, I felt that it was e opportunity that was right in front of me I didn't grab! That was what saddens me most. Amy lost to May 7-5 incredibly, how could it be? Must have been a chance for me to go on further than semi-finals right! Perhaps. Nevertheless, I've learnt my lessons through this very 1st National 9Ball Competition I took part in. Winning / Losing is not as important to me as yet, because I've just made my first steps to start training. Practice makes perfect. Ironically, not every shots can be perfect. We can only lessen our mistakes. Good players play smart, less mistakes. The player who makes e least mistakes shall win. Experience build guts, guts in trying unfamiliar shots. Luck counts. Focus - talent and effort are nothing without focus and determination. When you put your heart to play, they listen and obey.
I'm so glad that I've friends who were so encouraging, no matter in words or action, person or sms. I will continue to strive harder in e coming years.... Thanks pals & sisters! You know who you are... It's so wonderful that you believe in me, I will go on and on~ ;)
!~!~STAY TUNED~!~!
PS: Charlene won May Ong in Finals with score 9-3. Her first National 9 Ball Championship's title. *Applause!!*
