Coach did not come today so we had team event plan by us.I paired with dannell and play with joshua and choon seng. We won both sets. This is because we kept hitting to their backhands knowing that they are both left handers. My dropshot has improved today. I can drop to both sides without letting it go out, although my shots were quite high, they may be the cause of not hitting it high enough. Another thing that gave us many points was after we serve, we lob to the back and squared, when a smash came, we tapped it easily.

Today, my lobbing was quite weak. Although i can hit high, my hand was not high enough so i couldn't hit to full base, besides that, i did not hit forward, this caused my shots to go out. My dropshot remained the same. I played with Ju Kai today and won both sets , in the second set, i could not take some shots from hit, it was maybe because i was too confident.I won mostly with dropshots, which i am not so happy about.Although all my dropshots cross over the net, i did not smash when i hav the chance to, i will either lob or crossdrop when i see a high ball. I must take note of this the next time i play a game with someone else.

I had 2.4. My timing was 11.03 that was better than last year...when i was running i felt that i could not move on anymore but i continued on. I guess if u keep telling yourself you can do it..eventually it will happen in reality. On today's badminton training,coach invited 2 players from the international team to play with wei jian and wei jun. I was amazed by their shots and they can execute it extremely well and accurate. Their backhand smash can be stronger than my forehand smash. Besides that, their trick shots were beautiful and sharp. They defended almost every smash from wei jian and wei jun. After that we did stroking, today, my dropshot has improved more. I can also move faster to my shots, this is because i keep tellin myself to move. I hope i can keep this up.
