Flashback to MyBar Games 2025

I came as the only chambee representing Pahang Bar and was chosen to play mixed doubles against Selangor Bar and Terengganu Bar.

This wasn't just another game for me.

I chose academics back in 2016 and stepped away from my school badminton team and any badminton tournaments. It wasn't because I stopped loving the sport. I wanted to focus on my studies. To grow in a different direction.

I still played badminton regularly just for fun since then. No tournaments, no big competitions. Merely because there is also something I couldn't share here, but ytjt :)

For years, that was enough.

Then came the interbatch faculty game in late 2024. This was my first small step back to competition.

And in 2025, I was given an opportunity to join MyBar Games as a pupil.

It wasn't a perfect comeback. To me, it was not about winning. It was about showing up. About remembering that passion doesn't disappear, even if it rests for a while.

Though I lost my match, Pahang Bar placed 3rd in Team A and 5th out of 9 states.

I regret nothing. I met good people, I laughed, and I felt the excitement of competition again.

Thankful for my captain of the badminton team for Pahang Bar, for giving me this precious opportunity to join the game :)

To Dani, Far, and Najwa, who came to support me on game day, thank you for surprising me with an early birthday cake that night. Two days early, but it made the day sweeter :)

To me, sportsmanship means accepting the result and still respecting the game. Passion means coming back, even after years away.

I may not be the sporty girl I once imagined, but I am someone who keeps trying :>

And that matters.

Love, Nadhirah Rizal⋆
