The inComplete MSSD 2009 Experience

hahah. no idea why i put that as the title... :) woke up at 5.08a.m. no idea why... put on iPod and slept again. had to wake up again at 7... :(
my dad was quite agitated because my mum and bro were taking so damn long to get ready...

got there a little before 8... i went to check my bout number...

HOLY... damn happy: two rounds only... semis and finals. means that i definetely get a medal already... haha

but...

my bout number was like, 57 and 68. the last bout was 70.
soon len's was worse, number 60 and 69.

but at least we only have to fight twice... unlike thiam joo. he had 4 rounds.

waited and waited. we decided not to warm up till later (hehe, lazy) since our matches would be AFTER lunch...

waited more... it only started around 9.30. crazy... thiam joo fought in the 1st bout. it was quite abvious that he would win... hehe. 3rd bout, thiam joo. won again.

5th bout: rodney. he accidentally kicked d other guy's face. ouch. thank goodness didn't get disqualified. actually thought he would win. but he didn't. sad.

bout 7: thiam joo's semi-finals. he got kicked on his face. poor guy la. he was like lying on the mat. must hurt. he ended up that way twice in that match but still won... GO THIAM JOO.


later on, my parents and brother came... went out for lunch with them then went hone for a while. when i left, it was 10.50, bout 11/12.

when i returned, it was 2. bout 30 only... still a long wait left...

stoned, took pics, watched people fighting. (the most interesting fights are 16-19 male. damn ganas)


tracy and juliana were unlucky. since they were the only ones in the category, the people put them into the heavier category... so instead of gettin gold without needing to fight, they had to fight two rounds.

and won. three golds. thiam joo, tracy and juliana. joe ee won another gold not long after. not surprising.

after he fought, we started warming up. i LOVE master mark's target. d sound produced when you kick it is so loud. haha. scare off others. ran here and there 2 get stuff, n watch potential opponents.

FINALLY. at 16.55 or around there, bout 57 started. wasn't scared of the opponent. suddenly, i was afraid of losing... went into the ring, screwed it up. when round 2 came, i was surprised because i was tired. realized how out of shape i am... hehe.

still won though... haha. d person was so short, i kicked her face. accident la. but i actually thought i got her hand only. nvm. who cares.

soon len was so cute when she fought. she shouted/screamed when the second round started. she kept pushing the other girl out of the ring.

it was a tie. but the judges decided that soon len had the superiority. so she won. sat down for a while to relax. sudden;y, they announced that bout 68,69 and 70 would be held in ring C instead of ring B.

started panicking. ran to ring C. put on the stuff. wore the disgusting mouth guard. got lectured before entering the ring. about the opponent's tactics and strategy (we spied on her semi-final match).

went in. screwed it again. i always screw up. haha. that's my style... after round 1, i was leading. 5-3. surprising. i didn't think i did that well.

after round 2, it was a draw. 9-9. superiority again. i looked down at my toe, wondering why it hurts to stand on it. ew. half my nail was coming out. ew.

and that was all i was worried about when the referee's hand came up to announce the winner.

guess which way it was pointing.


for the second time since last year, i lost for... no reason? no. i lost for some reason no one but the judges can understand.


soon len's match was right after mine. shouted like mad and people stared at me. haha. but i don't care. she lost too. so it's silver for both of us.

prize presentation, photoshooting. haha. played with medals. then we went home. tired. after a day of walking about. hungry. it was 7.30 when we left.


but it was fun!




(next year... GOLD)
sad la...
2007 - gold
2008 - nothing
2009 - silver

looks sad. but 2008 was a HORRIBLE year for me. no medals at all. best year was probably 2007. :)
