HAPPINESS, PRIDE, AND A LITTLE BIT OF LAUGHTER So, today was the best day of Singapore's tiny little history. Let me tell you my story of watching it. First, I woke up this morning with this terrible knee pain, sharp kind of ache. It was bad. Real bad. Then I read in the news that the Woman's team would be taking on tumtumtumtum South Korea, so I told myself, 2 30pm must watch! Then during recess, Miss Tan (bio teacher) helpfully let the class off ten minutes before the block ended, giving us ample time to run down from the lab, grab food, and "chope" all the seats in front of the dinky little screen in the canteen, to watch Michael Phelps win his next gold medal! (2 more I think) We were screaming our heads off and Kitty started dancing after he got a World Record too. And I was pretty close to doing so myself. But the joy hadn't ended yet. I got home all sore and painful because my knee got kicked a couple of times, and I fell on it once too. After taking the bus, I grabbed a lunch (cos I ran out of money to eat in school) at home of eggs and toast. Then I read that Chinese book my mum asked me to. Then my sis came home (my mum came home slightly before then) and reminded me that there was the match on today. Needless to say, we both made a beeline for the TV and I ate another, nicer, yummier, more wholesome lunch there. Yum... Well, by that time Feng Tian Wei had won the first match and Lee Jia Wei was up next. Under pressure and then some, she lost T.T. By then, my mum had made an appointment at a TCM place to "tui da" my knee. So we left my sis at home watching and drove to the TCM place. At the place, there were these 3 ladies who were watching too. Taking time off from work (there was no one but me there), they were busy watching the doubles that came next. From what I heard while the TCM doctor massaged, we won that one too. Then when we got home, my mum rushed my sis out for some other thing. (I think it was PGA or something) Then I ran for the TV and watched as the Wang lady (sorry I kinda forgot her name) get beaten by some pro-ded Korean person. Needless to say, we were down to the last match. Feng Tian Wei went up against Park Mi Young in the battle for a page in history. The 21 year old player for Singapore had a lot on her shoulders. The first 2 matches went down 11-7 and 12-10 to Singapore, so far so good. Then it was the next match. A smashing 11-3 beating from the Korean woke us all up from our dreamy states and once more, hearts pumped madly in tandem as the next match unfolded. First Feng dominated, much to my delight. 5-0. Then Park came up with an impressive 5-4. After quite a few long and tough rallies, it was 7-7, even stevens. I screamed madly, as my dad (who had come home) settled down next to me to watch the next bit. Then the referee found out that they were way behind schedule and screamed for a shortening of the rallies. Only 13 back-and-forth hits were allowed. So Singapore strived valiantly on. Then it was 9-9. Then in a flash, one "la qiu" and a few "xiao qiu"'s and then it was 10-9 to Singapore. Then a falter by the Korean side on the service and then Feng Tian Wei had made history! I was screaming (like I was so prone to today), we had won. WE had won. we HAD won. we had WON. WE HAD WON! I had to repeat it to myself over and over just to get it in. Now I've gotta go to mass. Cya. Will pray and thank God for this miracle! Anne.Moira |
