zhang xiang is quite creative, he mention in his blog.. SNOC= Seriously Naughty Organisation Committee. Muhahahahahah... I dont use the word lol much but this is really LOL!!!!!!!!! hope that snoc dont see this.

We tried all we can and there is nothing much we cam do now. Lets pray hard for external help now. Mr Kwa put in alot of time and effort into the application and appeal, hope that a miracle happens.

National youth team is really a big headache for me now. So many problems here and there. Of course there are times i feel like giving up, asking myself why did i go through so much troubles and planning to set this team up. But when i see the players play so seriously, having fun reviewing (well, they look like they are having fun, haha),i think all the time sacrifice for this team is worth it.

Have been looking for someone (thats u wen jun) to take over me to manage NYT because i will be away next year but is really hard. First i cannot expect him/her to have the same drive and enthusiasm as me to operate this team. Our ideas of NYT may be very different. Wenjun has been telling me that nyt seems so slack, everyone is not discipline enough, most people skip review bla bla bla and alot more which i totally agree. He even told me if 'M' is in charge, he plan to ask everyone to sign contract etc to enforce everyone discipline. But i think that they feel this way because they have not manage the team yet so dont understand what is going on. I can also enforce strict rules and kick people out when they fail to meet the rules but how are all these going to benefit NYT, SWA and the players? Are these really going to work or frighten everyone away? The players can just quit, they have nothing to lose. I personally feel that NYT is a training ground for players who wants to improve more, a place for players who want to mingle around and make more friends, a place for players who dont have a reason to play weiqi( since they have completed all the swa weekend class or other reasons). At least for now, it dont have to be that strict.

Is sad to see that no one is signing up for nyt selection especially this month. I have to personally approach people and ask them to join. What does this show? Does sg player hate playing weiqi that much or we dont have players anymore?

I cant help but to say that i dont understand hwachong players (if u r ex hwa chong student, pls dont kill me).Is like majority of the people there are being forced to play weiqi. I am not saying this because only 2 hwa chong players (yuxiang)(jie hui) join nyt despite they have tons of good players but besides competition, do you see them in swa event? Do you see them help out in yc event? Ok, maybe is during exam period or studies come first. Being the top weiqi school in singapore, is sad to see that beside playing competition for their sch, they dont contribute to other areas in swa.

Read "Y" blog and know that she is not quite happy about what i "did" to mimi(thx karen for the name) in mindsports festival. Did some reflection and yar, i admit i am wrong, should not have arrange so many players especially him. I can find lots of excuses to defend myself for example, there are lots of crowd so i need to maintain the crowd by making the game go on and on,alot of ppl wan to see the game between them, bla bla and the excuses goes on but i am really in wrong especially when i forgot that the pro standing there is just a 21 year old lady.
