A little humour before i start my post today. Got top 6 for teams pool competition, but not lucky to be in top 4. I'm quite disappointed with my performance compared to last time. Simply, i've not played pool for almost 2 or 3 years already, and i only played like once in a thousand years. Even when i go to pool places, i will sit there and reject all the offers saying that i don't know how to play, but the thing is that i don't want to play.

This chance to join competition was totally random, because someone back out last min and because the other 2 are my friends, i decided to help them, but to me i think i really made them lose because of my poor form and performance. The guy was good and accurate, but lost concentration easily. And the girl, who was my classmate this semester called Elf, she really good. I'll seldom say girls are good, but she's perhaps the first lady that play so well but still, lost concentration easily. She is damn good i swear.

Sigh sigh, and for the first time in my life, i'm playing pool like so seriously. I used skills and steps that i used thousand years during mini competition. It helps me quite a lot and score quite many, but i still lost concentration because i seriously did not touch for so long. I'm so sad.

I feel that no matter what a person learn in his life especially in sports, he/she will have the skills. Even though he/she have not been playing for thousands of years, his/her skills will still be there. The main factor is the 'form'. I believe everyone has heard this word 'on form', and this differentiate a good player and a best player.

Good player have skills that is really good, during training or casual they can perform very well. But when it comes to competition, that is where the best players will shine. Best players are also good players, but they are able to handle the stress and concentration during competition, which i think need to participate in a lot of competition to be really good.

Suddenly urge to play pool, anyone? =D
