Refraining from crowing about my own relative importance is, I'm proud to say, one of my stronger points in an otherwise rather flawed character.
Everyone's been saying that NJC weiqi won't be the same without me.. I'll be the first to admit this appeases my ego. But honestly, I had been hoping that they'll maintain, or even better the standards set last year. It didn't matter that Xu Dong and I didn't left off with the best of terms; the team mattered more. The fact that NJ dropped from top JC and 3rd overall to 3rd-placed JC and 6th overall is a testament to me, yet I don't feel glorified in any way.. RJ top, HC second? That's a shock. I wish they didn't need my presence; wish they won't miss my fighting spirit. But some things can't be helped. The sure will wasn't there.
I'm proud of my old comrade Yang though. He's been solid.
With all their legendary players, NUS sure didn't live up to any expectations. If you're a basketball fan, they were the Bulls. Soccer fanatics see them as Real. For girls.. I don't know. Probably a boyband formed by the hottest guy idols around? And they lost. To NYP.
Frankly, NYP is the Chelski. Of weiqi. Financial and adminstrative support. Can you imagine sending their students to SWA for free? I think one term would equal NJ's entire annual budget.. It's simply, to say the very least, not fair.
Had a long talk with my old teacher-in-charge Mdm Chiu, and realising in the process that I've really been away from the weiqi scene for a long time. Hwa Chong Institution is really blossoming; the young guns are hungry, and that is a lethal quality the old guard never had. No one doubts the '86 batch had pure talent, yet we were never as ruthless and competitive as our juniors now.. Can you imagine: HC is conducting classes for P6 kids. That's a milestone achievement. Anyway, Mdm Chiu wants to begin some old TCHS Alumni, and my old senior Jia Cheng's in charge. Old legends in Kao Jie, Li Yu and Xue Yan were immediately asked for their names and numbers, and they tore a page off my notebook. Asking for a beating, even if they are my grand-seniors.. Maybe I do miss weiqi. Could have played for NTU, but decided not to.
And, not feeling any tinge of guilt, I shall laugh at my old CJ friend for not getting any award. I've been rather pissed off with his cocky attitude, especially his playing for NUS part.. So there.
Honouring my pledge of retirement doesn't seem to be a good idea now.

Maybe I just can't be friends with her. I just can't.
