ok, back to the title. the one and only reason that i am so happy today is i have achieved something that i wanted for a long time. and i didnt really expect it. first of all, there was a controversy about a month ago concerning who is the last member for the team comprising carmen and i. at first it was ky, then it was wj. but all in all, there was this one same opponent that carmen and i was wanting to beat so badly - sj. alas, from opponent it became team mate. but what a great oppurtunity that was.. 'cause because of that, i got my first ever poomsae team gold medal. :D although i was a team with carmen and sj, but my team with carmen and wj still existed. i was just in 2 teams. and the best part was not winning the gold but winning both the gold and silver. YES! i did win both. and the both teams were the only teams that have marks which were more than 15. :)
yeap. now 2 parts down of my happy day. to top things up. i won a bronze in my individual event. i was kinda expecting it since sj and carmen is in the same category as me. i didnt have any choice but to accept the fact that they were in fact better than me. i was a lil hoping that i could beat carmen this time. but maybe not today, maybe another day. i was sad when i saw myself out of the top 3 spots running for medal contention. i guess lady luck was with me today. 'cause they came and told me that there would be 5 medals for each individual category. that actually totally made my day. this means i achieved something harder to achieve than 3 golds. 3 golds i quite easy to get if we work hard enough. and i didnt give my best today, truthfully.
so today, i got 3 medals. 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze. every colour at stake. i reached my aim of getting at least a medal in every category i participated and getting a gold in my team event. i wanna emphasize that im damn happy today. but this is not the end. this is just the starting. so i have to work harder as my exams are over now. i wanna go one step better. i wanna get 1 gold and 2 silvers the next time. and my next competition for now is - NATIONALS held in march next year :) looking forward to it. hopefully it doesnt clash with my ns.
