Last satuarday, I had my third karate competition in this year. It is at Bishan CC. My dear & I reaches there at around 9am in the morning. At first, I thought my match will be at around 2pm. In the end, it was
8PM.... It was a very exciting day for me. My secondary schoolmates,
WONG QI WEI & KANG BAO QIANG was there too... Haha... The saddest thing on that day is that I
LOST the match... After that match, my Sensei want me to go home and think about what happen on that day. Now I think back, I think I had
underestimate my opponent... Till today, I still think that I had
disappointed my Sensei... I know that he had put in alot of hope on me... Yet I didn't take the match seriously... I felt so regretful... He is going to Japan this tuesday to take his grading, so I hereby wish him
Good Luck...
But, on the other hand, there is another interesting thing happen on that day... The story goes... Before the match, there is a participant, whose is from Bangladesh, was doing his warmth-up at a corner. So I randomly walk over and talk to him... I said: "Good Luck!". Then he smile at me and said: "Good luck to you too!". So we went on to our matchs. Like I say, I lost the match, but he won the champion of our category... After the match, I went to the toilet to change, I saw him in the toilet. So I walk over to say "Congratulation!"... Then we shake hand & he give me a "buddy hug" (
shake hand + chest to chest)... LOLS... Then I was about to leave, he and his Sensei walk toward me. His Sensei said: "My student wants to take a photo with you...". I was surpise to hear that, and I agreed to take a photos with him. Then, he put his gold medal on me... I said: "No, no, no... You should be wearing the medal...." His Sensei said: "It is you who encourage him & he won..." So I took a photo with him and he leave.
Sorry for the long story... But I just feel that on that day, many people is very serious about their competition, yet there is someone who is so friendly, and willing to share his joy with other people. To myself, I was just randomly want to say hi, but in the end he want to take a photo with me, and still put his medal around my neck.... I didn't expect that my encouragement did touch his heart, but I know that I felt touched that I know this new friend on that day...
