Week 13- Final achievement of my recreational goal

Today is tuesday, the last day for me to observe my progress in playing badminton. My friend and i already planned that we have competition after coming back from school. We changed a suitable sportwear and ready for the competition. We were so nervous. I really hoped that i could achieve my goal successfully. The competition began at 6pm. One of my friends became the judge of the competition.



The competition started. I was so nervous that i did a few mistakes at first. My scores was lesser than my opponent. I did not give up and try to chase back the scores. The game was so exciting because our scores were so near. Finally, i won the competition with a score of 18-21. I was so happy. My effort seems to have a good result. Yippi!!!



Last but not least, i have to say that i was so thankful that i given this assignment. This goal was so meaningful to me. I have achieved my target with my own effort. I am sure that i will keep on playing badminton because it is my favourite sport.

Week 12- Common Test

This is a nervous week. The common test began on Monday. I did not have my badminton practice during weekday as i have test on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So, i planned to practice badminton today ( Saturday) in order to observe my improvement. My friend suggested that we have a trial competition so that we know our own progress. We all agreed to her suggestion.

I try my best to perform well in badminton. I use some of the techniques that i haved learnt from the famous badminton player. Finally, i won my friend in the competition. The feeling is so great. I never have this kind of feeling before. I am able to make my dream comes true. I will have a competition with my friend next tuesday. This is because next wednesday is the last submission date of the blog. Good luck to me!!!

Practices in week 10 & 11

I came back to Singapore on Monday night although i still in holiday. This is because i hoped that i could focus on my common test revision after i came back to Singapore. I could not pay attention on my studies when i was in my hometown. I adjusted my time to practice badminton although i busy with my revision. I realise that i could perform better than before after i practiced on tuesday. I could smash the shuttlecock to my friend when we practice. So, i even have more confidence in myself. I can do it !!! Go! Go! Go!











Here are the attached photos which are taken by my friends during our badminton practice. Am i look serious when i played badminton?


In week 11, i had more practices as i had free time. This is because i did not need to go to school due to the serious condition of H1N1. I have improved a lot in playing badminton. I could use some of the technique of playing badminton. Besides practice badminton, i also used some of my time to do exercise near the garden. I hoped i could improved my body strength as fast as possible.

Finally..... School Break

Finally...week 9 already. Happpy!!! I already at my hometown. I met my family and friends. I miss them so much. Although this week is the school break, but i need to do revision and prepare for my coming common test. I played badminton with my sister during free time so that i can improve my skills. I practice three times in this week.

All in all, i think i already achieved part of my goal as i can handle the basic skills well. Besides that, i won my friend when i played badminton with her. However, i need to improve my body strength so that i can do better.

Week 8...Stressful week

Week 8 lo....The time passes so fast!!! Never wait for any person. The common test is just round the corner. I am so worry and panic as i am very weak in my engineering mechanic and material technology. I used up many of my time to do revision in this week. So, i did not practice badminton on wednesday. I shifted my schedule to thursday. We practice until very late on that day. After we went home, i was damn tired. Although i am very tired, but i was quite happy because i have gained some confidence in playing badminton. I can play badminton quite smoothly because I could hit back the shuttlecock to my friend. My technique improved drastically. Haha ^.^On the other hand, i went back to my hometown this friday. So, i did not practice badminton on this weekend.

Practices in week 6 & 7

In week 6, i try to practice on the basic skills of badminton. I have done my practice on friday as i do not have time on wednesday. This is because i need to complete the lab report for the modules Material Technology. I spent one whole afternoon on wednesday to finish my report as material technology is one of my weakest modules. I feel very happy as i already can handle the basic skills of badminton. I strongly believe that i can achieve my target. On Sunday, i
try to improve my stamina as stamina is very important for a badminton player. I go to the nearby garden to do some exercises because exercise facility is provided.











In week 7, i have my badminton practice with my friends on wednesday evening. I tried my best in order to play badminton well. However, i did not perform very well because i do not have much experience. When i played with my friend which is a school badminton player, i seems like performed badly. This is because i feel very stressful. Besides that, i cant follow the pace of my friend. So, i unable to receive the shuttlecock from my friend and become the person who pick the shuttlecock. Actually, i really felt dissapointed, but i will not give up my goal. Gambateh!!!

Practices In Week 5

In week 5, i start on my regular practice at the badminton court near my house. On wednesday, my friends and i plan to do our badminton practice. This is because our class dismiss earlier on wednesday. We start our practice at 5pm. I am so nervous as i have not played badminton before. One of my friend is a badminton player of school team. Firstly, he teached us how to open a ball. I pay attention on his explanation as i wish to play badminton well. After that, we practice in a pair. Although i cant play well at first, but i will try my best to improve myself. I have to find out the reason why i cant open the ball succesfully. As the saying goes, 'practices make perfect' , so i will practice again on weekend as i have free time.
