Sigh I feel like someone with PMS. i was having so much fun today but i'm kinda bitter now, i wonder why.
went out with adriel mel yujing not bad went to bakers inn for a nice chicken mushroom pie, chocolatey dessert, watched school of rock, and all that, but it was fun playing pool later. hit some really nice shots man...wah on form. there was one ultra thin cut, a smooth long into the corner, a blind shot, man....which went in cause of the english i put in...haha felt good. i think its just the specs, being in a nice comfy position.
some pool tips. haha. fancy me giving them. i think when you play 8 ball positioning is not such a crucial thing, unless u get to the end. because at the start if the break is nice u have so many shots to hit anywae. of course if the break is lousy then it counts. the more important thing at the start is, potting.
1. POTTING.
Potting is one thing that is crucial, if you cant' shoot you can't play pool. there being so many ways to aim, for me personally i imagine a line from my cue stick, to the center of the cue ball (if not using english), to the part of the object ball just directly behind the hole. okay pool players will know what i'm talking abt. then just stroke nicely into the line. other pple have different ways. but anything goes so long as it goes in, right. the thing about potting is, i see people not looking at the hole they wanna pot the ball in. if you don't look at the hole AT ALL, how are u ever gonna pot it? look at the hole!
and also, for some of the shots english would help the ball cut even more. hitting the ball right of center would make balls cut left even more and vice versa. so that's important in hitting all the funny shots, the extreme cuts.
2. TACTICAL PLAY
Sometimes it's just percentage play. that's something i learnt over the years. it's not about trying to pot all the balls. at the end sometimes it's about preventing the person from potting. so the trick sometimes is to snook them, to put the ball in places where it's really damn hard to actually do anything, even touching their ball is difficult. when its impossible to do so then position the cue ball in places where aiming is hard, or they can't do anything....a good trick if the ball is in the center of the table breadthwise at one end, then put the cue ball on the other side of the table. it's almost impossible to pot it without a risky bank, and if the guy isn't too skilful anything he tries will inevitably end up with the cue ball scratching. thats what happened to me! oh i actually potted the ball, i wasn't THAT loser. haha. so put the balls on the opposite end. or when the cut is very difficult. extreme cuts. or just directly opposite it facing the cushion, if you get what i mean.

and she never told me!!! idiot!

ui noe one of the irritating things is when people take me for granted. im announcing to the whole world, okay, I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS. ok not that many but sufficient to find people to go out with. So if i ask you out for anything (pool, lunches, movies, etc) it's not outta desperation so you pls dont' treat me like dirt, because the next time, then you're not going to get asked. (this is just a rant to anyone. not to anyone in particular, i just feel quite dissed sometimes abt the way i'm treated). i mean, people just happily come up and suan me, say things like 'oh you think you're cool now ah' and all that, damn irritating. i mean, if pple wanna say these things to make themselves feel betta, then for goodness' sakes don't use me, man! it's stupid and crazy! go find someone you can use!

haha.
