MY SISTER'S TENNIS TOURNAMENT

My sister and my little brother were attending this kind of tennis tournament that was conducted in Kuala Lipis. My brother had lost at the first round already. Due to the lack of budget by the government, most of the sports tournaments now were conducted in a very bizarre way. Before this, there was some sort of a hierarchy that every single player must follow. You know, step by step development. First,, they will represent the district, then the state and then move to the national.  This year is different. They will compete, and then directly surpass the hierarchy and move to the national. Haha..most of the coaches here were complaining about this new rule.They were happy with the new 'One student one sport policy', and now they were disenchanted with the executions.

I'm writing this post while watching my little sister, presently having a duel with Shakira from Bentong. That Shakira is a strong opponent as she is two years older and far higher in term of experience in any form of tournament. What a depressing sight..haha. The team was divided in two teams, below 15 and below 12. My brother who is also in the below-15 team fought in MRSM Kuala Lipis. We heard rumors that two of the Chinese player attending the tournament were having their training in the mainland of China during their holidays. Cool huh? No wonder they always being entitled as the champion all the time...hehe.

For me, I wanted to represent my school in table tennis for a long, long time.Yet, the chance to have one was never there for me. I've still remembered during my secondary study in Besut, I was a good player but I didn't attend the elimination. What a waste. In Tun G. Baba, I had the chance but then I miss the elimination due to a larger responsibility in another stupid science fair. My friends told me that I'm a jinx in sport.

Maybe they were true after all.

Please, leave a comment.(wow..my little sister is winning after all...hehehe)

well,even though we never know what the policy is up to I believe that there is always blessing in disguise..less time taken, less manpower can also mean less wastage?
