Squash and Novels...

to all readers..


*note to self : find better lines to start post*


well, i havent been writting alot lately and i apologise if you were expecting my posts... as you all know, the Sport Excel State Junior Circuit Grand Finals was held from Wednesday till yesterday (Saturday)..


as usual i played in Division One.. but this time i was seeded 5th, higher than ever.. this was mainly because some of the higher ranked players were playin overseas.. the seedings were:

1. Yassin
2. Max Ong
3. Raffie
4. Lim Wee Nee
5. Me
6. Jonathan Chew
7. Fakrul
8. Mukhzani

so in the first round i faced Yoko Liang.. it was an easy match and i won comfortably.. but in the quarter-finals i met Wee Nee.. my movement on court wasn't very good that day and i lost by a disappointing score of 3-9, 0-9, 6-9.. after crashing out of the quarter-finals, i went into the third round and faced Mukhzani.. our match was fun but i wasn't playing serious.. i won the match 3 sets to 1.. the final day, i had to win my match to keep my place.. i played against Jonathan.. i knew i had to win or face the music from my coach.. i reached the squash centre at 9am sharp but only 5 minutes after my arrival, i had to get on court and play.. i didnt even get to stretch yet but i went on court without complaining.. i lost the first set 8-10.. then i came back to win the match 8-10, 9-7, 10-9, 9-3.. i wasnt entirely satisfied with my game but it was good enough to keep me in 5th spot..

so after the tournament i had training.. was very tired.. after training i went to Queensbay for lunch.. also because i had to collect my brand-new-pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book!! i went to Secret Recipe for lunch wit my aunt and my sister.. just as we're about to leave, Zhu Lian walks in to buy a cake.. so i went over to say hello and then went to Jusco's supermarket to get some stuff for tonight's dinner..

after that, i went to Borders to collect my book.. surprisingly, there wasn't a line at Borders.. maybe everyone collected their book in the morning.. so i went in to get my book... and for being one of the first 25 people to pre-order a copy of the book, i was given an owl beanie.. it was made specially for Borders by TY Beanies..

My copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows..

My book and the Owl beanie

so i guess that's it... lazy to say more.. i'm going to continue reading my new book now.. till nxt time, bye!

Ivan, out...
