Damn the bloody pop-up on what 'Sexy babe…' and whatever. Got to rewrite the entry again. Thank god I only wrote abit only. Anyway, I’m really excited, happy and proud now. Though there’s still a little of disappointment in the middle but really happy that we got THIRD! Ya, I know we didn’t manage to get into the finals but still I’m very proud…

The first match was against VJC- the 1st balt of the day. At first I really thought I would be playing against the Shuqing. Haha, the one who I pulled her hair lo! She had 5 RUBBERBANDS on her hair today lo! *peng* I was laughing at it lo. Hehe. So I really thought it was her I was going to play with. Thinking of all the different attacks and ways I could counter her. She’s pretty hiong and siao la. She just would come directly and chiong at you when the game starts. I was a little bit scared of her at first la. Don’t like people to chiong at me like some siao cha bo. It was until both teams lined up then I realized that it was Dawn we I am playing with! *woot* Better still. I’m so damn full of confidence la truthfully. She’s much easier to tackle than the Shuqing. She did play though but in the Open category. In another words, she was against Wenqi. So it started and everyone is really nervous and excited about that match.

Device won; Lixin won; Qiuxuan won; I won; wenqi won! *WOOT* 5-0! Oh man! I was so damn happy when qiuxuan won le lo. Because there’s like 3 straight wins and it means a confirmed to the next match. But I never wanted to lose to someone I had beaten and I know I can beat. So yup, got through it. So happy for Wenqi lo! Her opponent is a dinosaur compared to her small and petite size. But still she can win her! Of course la, mine senior lehx!

So it was against CJC after that. Finally managed to play with CJC judokas. That’s the other school I wanted to play with other than HCI (never played with them before). That match determines whether we would be going onto the finals on Tuesday. Everyone was very nervous. At least I was. But every one of us really wanted to win. Wanted to create history and go to the finals on Tuesday. Really. I really wanted to make it big and let them know NY Judo is good. But I guess that kind of overwhelmed me and make up lost my focus. Devica and Lixin won the match. We were so damn excited and happy cause 1 more win and finals here we come. Qiuxuan’s nose bled halfway cause she knocked onto the person head then she also didn’t manage to win in the end. For me- I sucks to the core. Could you believe it, 7 seconds and I got kana Ippon. What the fuck. I was like what the freaking shit was I doing. I thought it was a wazari but ended an ippon. Damn. I was really upset and angry with myself. I cried after that. I really thought I can stay on even if I lost I could stay on for the full 3 minutes or something like that. But I was shit then. Wenqi played really good match. Could see that she kept trying for her attacks. But we lost by a 2-3. I cried not because we lost. I cried because I think I really didn’t perform up to my standard at all. I don’t know what I was doing. Why the shit did I follow her? Why?! I could do a backfall but I didn’t. I could learn to flip my body but I didn’t. But Cheryl told us that there’s still another match to go and we could win. This time I really didn’t want to let go of it already.

The RJCian played with VJCian and as I predicted RJC won. Vicky Lai again. The one I lost to during the individual. I was thinking of how to counter her and stuff. Got kind of scared and nervous at first cause she’s pretty skillful compared to me. Brown belt one. But I don’t want to lose the RJC. Cheryl came and helped us to strategize. She wanted me and Wenqi to swap places. That means I would be in the Open Category against the yellow belt fellow. That boosted me up quite a bit. She taught and told us some of the pointer so take notes and stuff. Surprisingly, the nervousness wasn’t that much compared to the CJC one. I guessed I was more focus and know who I was against that calmed me down a bit. Did some last minutes practice and there we went. Last match of the day…

Devica won. Lixin lost. Qiuxuan won. Wenqi lost. (Ooops! wrote wongly. change le! tsktsk) I was nervous when she lost but the feeling is still pretty good in me. I can just feel the difference between that match and CJC match. As predicted, she used a lot of osoto gari. Counter her quite a bit, pushed her to the ground and wanted to do my ne-waza and stuff but failed to. Got mate. Damn. There’s this time when I slammed her down and really thought it been an ippon lo. I was like ‘please…’ but ended up to be only a wazawi. Nevermind. At least I got the first lead. I got shido later on not because I pulled her hair but I think it’s because of my holding. Not sure on that need to ask Cheryl about it. Heard them telling me to relax and wait. So followed them a while later after I registered the instructions la. She hold on to my leg suddenly. I wanted to shake it off initially but got mate. The referee gave her a shido. Oh so it’s not right to do so. Then after hajime, she did the same thing again. I was like what the hell do you want to do it again when you already got a shido for it just now?! Like what the shit is she doing? No dount another shido- 2 shidos. 1 more and she would be out of the game. Heard her coach tell her not to do that again but go for osoto gari. Tried to counter she fell I think but don’t know if points were award. She attacked some more but could see she’s pretty desperate. Siam and siam la. Luckily didn’t follow her. Heard them saying relax and stuff like that because the time is almost up. Finally, it ended! Heard them screaming! I was so relieved because my hands were trembling already. Yae! We won! 3-2! Yippee!

I was so damn happy la. We won lo! Won- Third! I cried again. Haha. So happy lo. Everyone was happy. I’m so proud of us. *beaming* At least we never let ourselves down at the last match. Yippee!

Went down to Hougang Mall Pizza Hut to celebrate. Bills are on Coach Tan though. Haha! It’s so nice of him even when he couldn’t make it down to support us. Ordered quite a lot of stuff and the place was like empty at first lo! So fun! Knew a lot of stuff from the J2s. So funny. Think the Daryl’s one is so funny lo! Haha. Can’t believe he actually did that! Hahaha. It was a very nice and full dinner. Hopped to Cheryl’s house after that with Devica, Lixin, Eileen and Jeslin. Saw her trophies and medals that were all over her room. I was “wow!” by them. She told us quite a lot on her life and all the judo trainings that she had gone through while we flipped her many photo albums. She many photos lo. Her judo life is really very interesting and meaningful. Didn’t know all that stuff about her one lo.

To the team:
I’m really really really very proud of us today lo! We won RJC and of course trashed VJC! We are great. Third lehx! That’s a bronze medal lo! Not everyone has a chance to get that in their life even if they are a judoka. We had done played a good game for the school, for the coaches, for the club and of course, most importantly, for ourselves. I’m really honored to be part of the team and able to play this match with all of you. Great job! =)

Hehe. I know it’s just a simple encouragement bur I’m really happy that he’s there to share my defeat. Wwweee! =) And jes, stop it! haha

Very tired now. Competition had finally come to an end for now. I should and would focus on my studies now. No more sucky results and the bullbull is going to make a comeback again. Make all of them know that I’m awake and will mug for it!
Jia you!
