♥ 6:47 PM
just came back from my tennis competition! AND AND I WON!!! found it super amazing that i won considering that i had only bout 2.5 hours of sleep last night. and i was stoning throughout the first part of the game (: the first set was super close. we took turns breaking each other's serve and holding serve. so the score was a close one. 6-6 with tie break 8-6. it was madness i tell you. i really thought that i would lose. the next set wasn't much better. i was 4-0 down. and then suddenly i realised that i was losing super badly or something and then suddenly i began to pick up real fast. and i caught up to 6-4, ending the match. i really thought that i would get trashed or something. anyway, the next match would be horrible! i'm against seeded 1 AGAIN. another round of getting trashed ): talking about tennis competition. there was something i saw at kallang that i found very disturbing. i was watching my brother play his match. the boy was young. bout 11 or 12. his skills were not bad, he could run, could hit, could spin the ball well. in all a respectable player and was seeded 8th. but what i couldn't stand was the fact that his parents were overly demanding. they expected him to win. both parents and the grandfather came just to watch him play! and the father even stood right outside the court. okay it isn't wrong to support his son. but his actions irked me. at the beginning of the game, my brother won the first game. immdiately, the father's expression changed. he told his son "tennis is the only thing you have. if you don't win, don't walk out of the court". come on lah. there must always be a winner and loser. another thing that i couldn't stand about him was that he was always telling the son if the ball was out or in. how accurate can he get? he is outside of the court. how can he tell if the ball is out or in? obviously he does not or never took physics. there is such thing called parallel error? and every time his son hits a good shot, he claps. every time my brother hit a good shot, he shoots my brother a dirty look. yucks!!! just thinking about it makes me what to puke. i really pity his son. have such a demanding father. his son is just like a puppet. tennis is all about enjoying the game, playing your best. not just tennis, any sport. it's just a game. there will always be a winner and a loser. even if you are a very good player, there would always be someone who would be better than you. the better and more hardworking player should win and deserve to win. it's not about being kiasu, and calling the ball out even if it's not so that you can gain points and win.
the SMART ONE. ♥
