Why am I sooo satisfied? I managed to push a guy into rubber set today.. no need to play rubber set though. He beat me 1st game 17-14, then I beat him 15-14. Why not deuce? He didn't want to.. he was really really exhausted. Don't know why.
2nd game he was leading 10-14.. but I somehow refused to give in to him. I really wanted to win that set, to prove something(I don't know what) to myself. And I didn't give up at all.. I scored 1 point at a time, he got back the service, but I fought back super duper hard. He smashed and smashed and smashed, I was all over the court attempting to defend. Finally, I reached 14-14, and he didn't want to deuce. So I just shrugged, and when he made a mistake I just killed the shuttle.
:-) Really proves that when there's a will, there's a way.
Of course.. I think I'm satisfied too easily.. I just relaxed after that, I somehow had the mentality that I didn't need to play anymore. Believe me, I was really totally punctured, with my stomach feeling a bit queasy. Due to lunch, or other reasons I don't know. CP left halfway, her stomach was causing too much trouble. Mine wasn't that bad, but my tummy did feel uncomfortable.
While I was regaining my energy, rejuvenating.. my coach had me to play against a girl. Trust me, I really didn't want to play this match. I knew I would have to dig deep into my reserves in order to win this match.
But yeah, I was satisfied with my previous match. So I hardly put up a fight in this game. I lost 3-11, 8-11. Truthfully, I didn't attack much, I waited for HER mistakes. I wasn't up to pushing myself. Bad atittude eh? But doesn't matter. Lol. I think my coach knew that I wasn't very serious.. I hardly ran for any shots, just.. well, played normally. Fooling around.
Now you know why I don't intend to take badminton too far. Lol. It's.. too much of a fun sport to take it seriously. Hehe. Anything taken too seriously will become.. not fun. Yep. Definitely. Imagine if I won the All England title.. Lol! If ever, I will be sooooo happified I wouldn't play my heart out for other tournaments. Yeah.. right.
This morning had a badminton session with school mates. Enjoyed myself hehehe. After that went to Ming Tien to eat lunch.. and celebrate Alwin's bday. Well, 'celebrate'. Hahaha! The 'cake' was.. cute. :-D Was in the midst of the 'OPA' group. *rolls eyes* Makes you wonder why people want to join an 'exclusive' group, eh? Possibly to 'make a mark' in society? *shrugs* I've no idea.
Overall, had a good day today. Definitely makes me wince at the thought of quitting badminton. Arrgh. But I guess God has other plans for me :-D I'll rather do His work than fulfill my own pleasures. I think. I hope. Hehehe. God gives best to those who leave the choice to Him. =D Better than winning games/competitions/tournaments? Wow I can't wait for that! :-)
Meanwhile, I'll enjoy badminton. Until one thing or other makes me quit.. particularly ___ ________. Hehe. Till then, I'll give it my best.
God bless
