I was 15 years old when I first met Ms X, my little rival.
To those don't know.
I am a taekwondo WTF player whom represented Perak for numerous national competitions in free-sparring.
I started since I was 9 years old and lime light was all on me.
I won numerous tournaments in states and also national level.
Can you imagine?A younger version of me in uniform kicking people?lolz
That was me.
Till I became more senior, I started to feel the pressure and the urge to win each and every tournament especially state level tournaments to retain my place in my weight category.
My instructor did a very good job in training me and building me up to whom I become today.
I am no longer the weak little girl who cries when people bully me,
who cries when I don't get what I want
and choose to starve when I don't get to eat nice food.
I learned the hard way.
I have to work hard in order to get what I want in life and life is never a straight and smooth journey.
Thank you sir. =)
Ok. That is a little bout my background being an athlete.
As I mentioned earlier, Ms X came into my life when I was 15 years old in a state level competition.
She was a newcomer and coincidentally in the same weight category as me.
As everyone expected, I won the match against her that year.
Though she did not became the champion, she was selected to represent Perak for another weight category as there were weight categories without representatives.
We became friends but not close as there is high potential of meeting up in tournaments we were from different training centre.
During state training, I observed and realized she is getting better day by day.
Catching up pretty well as a newcomer.
She has all the potential to be a good player.
I was a little worried as well.
I knew a player like her will always have the heart to revenge whenever they get the opportunity.
But little did I expect that she will come back to re-match with me a year after in the same weight category.
(how dare her..ggrrr..)
I was calm and steady before the match.
I knew her style of fighting and vice versa.
May the best player wins.
I have all the confident in me.
Everyone have high hopes on me.
I am a more experienced player.
Bla..I definitely can win. Mindset set.
So, the match started.
Both of us tried very hard to counter back each other skills.
*Dong*
Times up. She was announced the winner of the match.
I was 1 point behind her.
I was devastated. I lost my title. *AHHhHH..scream my lungs out*
She had her sweet revenge.*uurrgghghhhhh*
(Anyway, I still get to represent Perak.wakakaka)
Not long after that, it was SUPER 4 (Sukan Perak).
Both of us is still playing in the same weight category but under different district.
She gained her confidence and I lost mine.
I found out that my match against Ms X is only in final.
I have all the fear in me. What if I do not do well and I lose again?
Why must she enter the same category as me?*uurgghh*
What ever kind of stress you can think of, I have it all right before the match. Lolz.
The match started off as intense as ever.
According to my team mates, it was a matched which everyone have their eyes on.
The so-called match of the day.
*Dong dong*
Scoring board shows 7-4
I knew it. I knew it!!
I won the match!!!
Aahhhh..the sense of satisfaction was so great.
The best feeling that I ever had throughout all the years of my tournament life.
I had my sweet revenge on her. XD
After that match, she chose not to talk much to me.
She will only tease and stab me.
lolz. I can understand why she did that.
Since then, she has been avoiding me and never came back to the same category with me.
5 years down the road now.
We are still friends. It took her 1-2 years before she started talking back with me.
We can chat bout things related to taekwondo but not things related to our matches.
Taboo. lolz
(I am still smiling recalling back the lil sweet revenge I had. XP )
After all the long winded story, I am going to reveal my aim of telling this story.
I want to win free tickets for "You Again" movie screening.
I want more. I want the free Urban Retreat Massage Voucher as well.
Wakakkakakakakkakaka
