TTSH group and us are like brothers & sisters... haha! So we're more relaxed when playing them. Against other groups, it may be a totally different story... :) August(1188) 29/04/2009 12:54:34 do you guys usually play serious in friendly games? Netasia (1187) 29/04/2009 11:45:58 well commented darryl, fun, enjoyment & experience is our top piority, not the wins. here u go , the videos of venny & daniel game. their opponent, james, is one of the top player in their group surge(1185) 29/04/2009 07:57:58 hey netasia, got videos of venny/daniel match. quite surprise they lost. (sorry for posting so much, my holiday already started since 20/4 and will last till 4/8, so got time to spare..hee) surge(1184) 29/04/2009 07:54:47 looking at some of the videos, generally players from our side can play, just that most played a passive game. little partnership was evident in attempts to control the game. On the other hand, the lesser partnership means both players will get equal chance to play(esp in mixed doubles). surge(1183) 29/04/2009 07:49:41 3 cheers for mongoose for spreading out the strength. from the tight scoreline, we can see that most pairs had good games. like what mongoose says, by pairing strongers players together and weaker players together,chances are we might achieve overall victory, but where is the fun then? after all we are social group. a good sweat beats a under 10 winning scoreline. infact, we were so well spreaded out that netasia was spreaded to the visiting guest's side. Netasia (1130) 26/04/2009 18:31:34 indeed very sad for the first lost at the home ground... MD - 1 win, 2 draw, 1 lost XD -  1 win, 2 draw, 3 lost from the above stat, which area should we improve on? if you ask me, i think we need to improve on the food intake, tons of tibits left after the session... wasted. hiazzzz Netasia (856) 04/03/2009 00:22:02 yo s00tong, if the opponent is much stronger than us, then no matter how we pair up, overall we will still loose la. So we can only hope for the best & enjoy the match liao... Netasia (855) 04/03/2009 00:19:34 你如果也看了我们的录像，你就能看出我们没像他们那样经过专业训练。 Kefeng(854) 03/03/2009 20:20:52 能比这厉害不? | Page: 1 2 3 | Comment on this video: *no registration required Name: =
