Assalamualaikum
Wah wah wah! Its been a very long weekend full of twists and turns and lots of madness! This year's tertiary silat competition is rather harsh and hostile. Well especially to my school that is. Cannot really blame anyone i guess.
ANyway im going to the finals next week on sunday! Honestly speaking, i never EXPECTED i can go this far. I HOPED and WANTED to though.Naturally, anyone would want to win right. Because i know that im only still new to this arena and this is my VERY first time that im competing in such fights and winning SINGLE match would do me enough and satisfy me. But deep down inside i know that if i can try harder and do better...why stop there right??? HAHA!!
Anyway based on my PRELIMINARY ROUND fight, and for a first-timer, i think im quite good!! But passing through the quarters and semis was a gimmick lah i think for me.
Well here the story goes why i think im a gimmick...
On saturday...
I was supposed to face an opponent from TP.ON that day i dunnoe y i feel like OUR and especially MY mood was down.Plus that heavy head of mine.MAybe becos some of our mates lost the quarters. And also maybe because of the air-con that makes me feel lazy.
Anw i stressed so much for that days match and thought so much on how the opponent gonna be so good and blah blah blah.you know the usual fzal negative thought thinking thing!!
So when the time actually comes to weigh...i was pretty nervous and blurry and when my opponent stood on the scale and saw tt his weight was 64.7kg...i was like givin tt one dumb look! My cornerman asked to weigh again and poof it was the same and the wasitd said sorry to him and try again nxt yr.So i won the match through disqualification. So that did not really require much effort.
On sunday...
Ok...my mood was better that day and feeling hot and energetic and so on. Warmed up and so on. I made alot of noise cheering for my mates who was winning and so on. I guess that was some retribution i should say. So when it was my turn to go in gelanggang, i was quite confident ah.OKOKLAH! Then i guessed i fared quite well in the first round considering that it was not my usual game and did not use my sweeps. But the second round was like the moment things got to be on par. HE swept me down twice because i was like doing a jumping kick. GOODNESS!!! How could i FALL for that!!! LITERALLY!!! I was fed up seh.NOW.Luckily not in the ring. If not, that could have been my downfall!!
And so after tat i think if i remembered correctly...he kicked my face and he got reprimanded for that. SO thats y i say we were on par based on the sweeps and subtraction of points from being reprimanded.
Then the third round i dun really know the status lah. I guess he kicked me more and he was the better man.Yada yada yada...i think we were equal lah. THen the last bulk fight i recalled was when he gave me a series of ANYHOW punches and his right fist reached my left part of the mouth. As i tried to regain myself, bending down and putting my left hand onto my mouth, suddenly, blood was pouring on the mat sia!!!! Then i checked my hand...it was BLOODY i tell u. I was too busy with thinking wats happening but i guessed the wasitd reprimanded my opponent and took away his points ah. But damn i just could not go on ah. Skip all the later part...
Have to get stitched because they told me its seriously very DEEP. DEEP as the blue ocean maybe??I dunnoe! I dint get to see it. SO blah blah blah i called mum. THen when everything was over, CIk Lan tolde me that it needed no stitching. SO i tried to escape from doctor saiful. Then blah blah blah i had to get it stitched.
GOODNESS!!! the doctor sure knows how to take his own sweet time man!! Singing and everything and all. hah...ok im not bothered to tell u the process. Ok maybe i am. The doc covered my face and started the jabbing.It was stinging and i thought the whole thing was over. But he has not even started on the stichting yet!! hah but it was not that bad lah. I felt the string going through my lips and my skin being pulled and so on. But most importantly there was no PAIN. THANK GOD!!
So yeah...ive got 3 STITCHES for the first time anywhere, on the inside of my lips!!!
Hah...so thats my story...well its up to you, my readers(those whom i do not know), and my friends, to judge and decide whether i deserved to be in the finals because i know that i know for some people, especially those in the ivp MAY be unhappy. WEll im sorry if i caused any upset and sorry for being not able to carry on with the fight.
Well i guess thats it for now...i think im gonna lose in the finals.
Friends help doa for me hopefully that i can win my final battle...PLUS i will be safe,with no injuries please! Ameeen! Thanks!! Do appreciate if u could help me with this prayers.
I will try to do u guys proud, to those whom have really gave me the support. You know who you are. Ill give u credit once i win GOLD aites!! HEE!!
