SPGG POOL TEAM.

- Thursday, August 25, 2011 -

Hey guys i got both good and bad news for all of you.

1stly the good news is that, september table fees will be WAIVED meaning you don't have to pay, but that does not mean you can abuse the tables and all. Like suka suka bring people from outside the team or your friends, cannot like that arh, if not the management confirm plus chop clamp down us like dogs like that. EVERY SINGLE THING WE DO THEY ARE WATCHING US! So please understand.

2ndly the bad news is that NICK NG's cue is missing, IS A PREDATOR BLACK CUE WITH 4 POINTS. I mean like you all might think knn this one not my problem i involve for what. BUT IF YOU SEE ANYONE USING IT, OR TAKING IT AWAY PLEASE TELL ME! Because is like we have to find back his cue in short. I know whoever who took it won't admit at all, that is why i need evidences.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I just went for a meet the members session and managed to get some info out of there.

1stly. Ur pool hall has no intention of closing down. Yes it will be closed temporarily for ur pub to take over. But once the pub has finished renovating it will go back and your pool hall will come back. The vice president said that there is a substantial number of interest in the pool hall and has no intention to do anything to it and it will be maintained.

2ndly. The club is in a renovation phase. Its currently at phase 2 where by ur F&B outlets are getting renovation. The 1st phase was the wellness centre / SPA . So do not be surprised if the pool hall will be renovated in the coming years cuz there are still 3 more phase they wish to do renovation. My guess would be ur sports facilities , the 4th floor rooftop & all the events room.

But here's the main point of me writing this post. Its going to be damn long but please bear with me.

I wish to implement a few stuff from my time back into the system now. Not because I want to, But because management has talked to me just now also and I feel its better this way. No offence to any of those in charge as I did not discuss this with you guys. But trust me for the last time ok?

1stly. I'm gonna gamble 3 years of everybody's hard work from bringing this team to where it is now on Azkhairy, Jun Yang & Alvin. SPGG management needs a permanent captain, vice captain & treasurer for the next 3-4 years. I wish I could fill that post, but you guys know that I have NS.

Being a captain now would mean u are tied down to SPGG for the next 3 years minimum?? If you guys dont think you can commit you are always welcomed to turn it down. Its really a very big burden. How far the team will go is how you guys do things in the next 3 - 4 years.

You guys got until 14th Sept to decide. Come 15th Sept, the change over of every roles will be done in front of the management in a meeting. All ground rules will be decided. BUT not the future plans of the pool team, that's for you guys to decide how you wana go about doing it. I got some plans to share with you guys after the exam.

2ndly. Monthly Pool Fee + Pool Fund. Monthly pool fee will be paid to Alvin. The reason for this change is cause its a problem for finance dept to keep track of individual payment for each of us. Its sort of like going through the whole month's receipt just to figure out wether the XXXX guy / girl got pay up. So to make their life easier, all payment will be made to Alvin. Front desk has the right to refuse payment for monthly pool team fees.

Pool fund will have to come back. Bowling has a Bowling fund from their members. But because of this, they are able to do alot of things easily as its their money and SPGG has no right to interfere in anything they buy for the team.

Likewise the pool fund has to come back. Meaning every month u pay $30 to alvin for non members and $15 for members. But that's when your pool hall comes back. Sept u just pay $10 to him cuz of the chalet & we needa get some chalk for ourselves. The table fee for sept has been waived.

Last time no need pay for friendly cuz we got this pool fund. Chalk everything provided for. Extra set of balls cuz of pool fund. This has to come back, If SPGG does not wish to subsidize us, at least we still have this amount of $$ to help us. If we can be a semi-independently run organisation, SPGG would be more than happy cause they dont have to bother about us. $5 every month. Not alot to ask for right?

3rdly. You guys need to have a monthly meeting among yourself. Submit what you've discussed to the management. Let them be aware of everything you do. EVERYTHING. from the air con spoil to national tournaments to club friendlies. Azkhairy, you are carrying 1/3 of my past burdens. Everything has to fall on you. Can you do this? Can you commit? Think carefully before you answer. I can assure you its a whole different ball game. If you cant then its best the team find someone suitable for this job.

4thly. when you guys go out there for tournaments and friendlies. Do your best! Because our results are actually very good compared to bowling and tennis. If you got results let SPGG know! SHOUT IT OUT! Like the next fission magazine i asked GG to put 4 of us in the top 8 of SPGG 8-ball. National U19 will also be featured.

Its just that we lack that aggressiveness in planning stuff and pushing our ideas through all the way. If we can have support from SPGG, we are really gonna fly far as a pool team. That's something I could only dream of, but the task is for you 3 to make it a reality.

Lastly. AhMoo pls follow up on the player profile and do it thoroughly. Every single SPGG Student Member and Normal Member has to have their profile in SPGG Pool team file with management. Azkhairy And Quek Pls help him.

I would like to say THANK YOU to those that have supported me in the 3 years when I was your treasurer and Senior Advisor. Hope you guys enjoyed what I did to pull all of us through till now. We lost some guys along the way but well it was fun while it lasted.....

To those year 1s that did not enjoy what I've done. TOO BAD HAHA ask ur new captain to out do me.

Anyway sidetrack abit, i feel that in a team, must have one SIBEH important role! THAT IS THE MEDIATORS!

BECAUSE ARh if not next time got arguement or quarrel arh, next time hong gan, if cannot settle among yourself. THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE FOR THE JOB! BEcause firstly, they are very impartial, and they very the reasonable one larh.

THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE LEE YAN LIN, AND DR SHALABARICK AKA (WEIMING). Next time you all got any dispute or what, feel free to look for them.

Their task very the simple one, when got arguement or what horh, they just down there listen to you all, then they hear already they ask you all two come out to talk, then they will like help reason out and ease the tension larh, something like that.

So please co-operate so next time when things get blown out sibeh duah tiao that time, you all go find them k?

Dear All,

As we all know the commotion going about, I can safely say it's a simple misunderstanding.

To those that know, keep it to yourself.

To those that don't know, go study & play ur pool better.

To those involved, please sort it out amongst yourself, the damage is already done, don't drag other people in. If you cant find peace with each other, then go find nemo =D. But everybody is definitely at wrong.

To those that are waiting anxiously till 12.30am for my post, I got an announcement to tell you all.

Joel Moo & Lee Yan Hui Will Step down as your Senior Advisor. Thank you for all you've done. We appreciate it.

Likewise Quek Yan Hui & Gabriel Ang Will also step down from being your Captain & Vice-Captain. We love you guys. But it's time to pass it on right? =)

So Your new Captain, Vice Captain & Treasurer will be as follows.

Azkhairy - Captain. You are supposed to keep in touch with the management on everything. From rules to discipline issues. From CCA Open house - Friendly Line Up. Proposal of getting sponsorship - Updating Player Profiles. Chalets - Outings. In Short the SAI KANG WARRIOR!!!

Jun Yang - Vice Captain. You are supposed to help Azkhairy, But mainly is getting friendlies organised. On a Bi-Monthly basis. If Azkhairy needs your help, you cant say no. =D You are not his Dog, You are his best friend to help him when he does'nt even ask for it.

Alvin - Treasurer. NCC Boy, Simple job. Collect money for chalet finish. Monthly Coaching / anything else. If any of ur 2 bosses ask u collect money for XXX Reason just collect. You are the Ah Long of SPGG. My old Job =X.

So after the whole thing, there's still one guy missing, Sam. Well Sam will be your Senior Advisor. But Sam wont do things for you all. Whenever any of you 3 are in doubt, you can ask Sam / Quek / Kiki for help still. But dont throw the problem at him, throw the problem with a few solutions. If not he will definitely make you drunk.

So the way the 3 of you guys will only assume ur roles after ur exams. Learn from Quek / Kiki / Ah Moo / Lee. But by 15th Sept. You guys should be ready. There are already a few problems at hand. Its time you guys decide what's best for yourself. If the pool hall comes back after the renovation. In 1 year time I hope that the team will still be going strong.

Thank you very much to those that have help run the team till now. It's time to put ur faith in the next batch like how I gambled my faith in you guys.

As everybody know today the aircon icecream. So tomorrow for those heading down to GG you can only on the top left switch for the aircon. Also you can request for a fan from the counter.

As for playing at icez pool while the pool hall is renovating, it'll be $20 per person for the seniors. Please give your feedback to me or ah quek if you are keen or not and if $20 is fine.

________________________________________________________________

Once again, I can't pick on your mistakes/good points individually for obvious reasons. Feel free to approach seniors for help, I'm sure they'll be more than willing to help! Sooo, first of all, WELL DONE TO ALL OF YOU! Even if you lost, don't go and 'emo-one-corner', I'm sure you've contributed to the win, OUR win. It's a team effort after all, right? And needless to say, to those that have visibly improved, winning both games despite losing the previous friendly, keep it up!

But then again, don't get complacent. Staying stagnant is definitely dissatisfactory. I'm sure all of us have made mistakes (Or else we'd be breaking-clear/break-clearing). Remember those mistakes, and work on it when there's tables available; be it your stroke, reverse-angle cuts, on-the-rail shots, kicking out of a snook, you name it! Knowing your mistakes is great, dwelling on them isn't. Aaand that brings me to my next point.

If you feel like you've been a burden, that you didn't contribute to the team, get that idea outta' your head! It's okay to be sad at first, but learn to pick yourself up, keep your head up and have the can-do attitude when you train in the future. Never have the I-suck-no-use-trying attitude! Don't beat yourself up, you'll only find yourself deproving due to lack of confidence, in yourself; where the only thing hindering you from improving, is that person in the mirror.

Spend a minute or two reflecting upon your own performance for the friendly, whether they were satisfactory, just okayyy, or otherwise. Know what you can improve on, work on it and I'm sure you'll perform better next month!

Next, these are some general mistakes I would like to add on, and of course this includes some of my own.

We're still increasing our pace here and there, especially when we're getting complacent, or simply due our own habits when we casually play. It's about time for us to break the habit, slow down and I'm sure your gameplay would be better.

Other mistakes include going up/standing up too fast after shooting, causing inaccuracy, miscues, or even punches. From what I've learnt by others, it's good to exaggerate when you're training. An example would be staying still after taking shot, until the cue ball comes to a stop or a considerable distance. Ask those around you to notice your body movements, or simply use your imagination, to create your own way to correct this habit.

I bet many mistakes in your placing came from over-running/under-running. Regarding the issue, I suppose what can help would be to 'test' the speed of the table when you're warming up. Another suggestion of mine would be learning and taking 'Zoning' into consideration when you plan your shots. If you are not too sure what 'Zoning' is, approach your seniors and ask! I'm sure they'll explain it to you.

These are just some of our general mistakes we've commited today, if you really want to go in-depth and fix your personal mistakes, feel free and ask those Seniors who were there for you today, who watched your game, or even your Peer Tutors.

In conclusion, we've definitely improved as a team, winning instead of losing this time round. However, I'm sure we all know that the win was rather marginal, by rack difference. Let's work harder, improve exponentially and who knows what the next friendly would bring! Hmm, Break-Clears? I don't know about you, but I'm yearning to get one for a tournament! Oh well, no harm of dreaming big right? Hahahah, sooo... Set your goals, and find the route to work towards acheiving it. Remember, don't just play and play and play. Spend time coming early to train, coming down when there's tables available for yourself. And for the next friendly, let's continue fighting, together as a team!

Congratulations to those who have played on Monday and Thursday as well. Without each of you, we wouldn't be able to get back our 'cupboard's missing decoration'.

Once again, I leave you with a similar question; A month down the road, what do you want to hear? 16-10 win? You decide. LET'S GO!

SERIOUS MATTER

Hey guys ok, i really had enough. After like 4 days, i really decided to put this up on the blog already. Last saturday, me and mok reach spgg at 8am we were fucking surprise to see fucking alot of rubbish and nonsense stuff on the pool table. I mean it really comes as a shock to me because i am fucking disapointed in all of you.

I REALLY PRESUME THAT THIS IS DONE AFTER TRAINING ON FRIDAY, and is not by one person only. Is by a group of asses with one ring leader.

Firstly, if you guys litter all around don't bother to pack ur rubbish after eating or drinking. Shows two things about you, one you are a fucking spoilt brad who has a pinoy maid to clean up after you everytime, without even you being grateful at all. Number 2, which makes me even more upset, you guys don't even show respect to the place you frequent to train or play pool at.

Then what put what lan jiao unbrella and daddy card, nnb you want to attract attention so much siboh? You all think is funfair arh? you want to know what is funfair you all come find me, LIMBEH REALLY GIVE YOU ALL FUNFAIR.

Then for all the gamblers and guard players, please after you do your guard liao please please throw away the papers arh. Cause i'm not pin pointing anyone, but you guys are setting a bad example for the year 1s to follow, if you just throw your stuff all around, then they might think is ok to do so also.

I tell you all here, i am not going to go investigate who are the ones who did it, cause you retards won't own up at all. What i hope from now onwards, please please do not do this stupid stuff again. At least show some respect for the place you train and play at.

For now, i know alot alot of people starting to tapao food from outside bring into the poolhall to eat. The trend is starting again. I don't care larh, you bring in, you kana caught, your own taiji already. Please don't expect any of the comittee members to come and save your sorry ass. If you want to bring food in, please eat outside of the pool hall. Outside means the smoking corner arh. Cause i see that a lot of people eat already still throw inside.

If let say you say your friend eat already, down there ti gong yo lam par, please do not hesitate to tell him off.

Thanks a lot
THIS IS AH QUEK ARH, who buay song i post this come and find me talk.

Hi RETARDS!!!

Okk for today SPGG 8-Ball there were some good points and bad points i think you guys did. I think i shall pin point people this time.

Shane & alvin, As usual still on a losing streak =D. Do not expect tremendous results when you guys dont train smart i use the word smart cuz training hard is not as effective as smart =D. half the time just playing, dont expect to go far if you continue like this.

Junwen, sorry =(. but why break like ah gua? philip teach u break to scare the shit of ur opponent!! Other than that only the last rack you could really play properly. Just because you meet monsters does'nt mean u got no chance to win. STILL MUST FIGHT!!! Like that you forever wont improve if ur mindset dont change. FYI i'm not a monster, I'm just ugly.

Azree. a lost is a lost. don't take after ah quek's bad habit. If you start losing ur temper, ur game is 50% gone already cuz u cant even control ur emotions. dont let ur emotions control your game. You control ur emotions. even if 2-0 down you still have to maintain control and play like u usually do, not anyhow play and force urself to do things that is gonna cost you ur game.

Kwok Onn. Emo kid 94. Dont sad liao lah. Lose is lose lor. train harder and next time win them back!

Leroy, nvr see ur game LOL but ur opponents are all monsters haha

Shawn, SMLJ U WALKOVER? HANGOVER FROM TOO MUCH DRINKING?? u ytd went sand bath until forget today got tournament?? haha

Wan Rong, the 1st girl u played, she's good right? I purposely set up this match for u so that you can learn something from her. hope you did. I really give it to you for having the determination for trying ur best in every rack but really its time to stop pointing and turning at every single shot. difficult ones i can understand. but simple ones i think it should be easy for u =D

To those that are free come down tml to witness the monsters all playing with each other.
