National Championship!

It’s show time. National Taekwondo Championship. Yes, it’s a damn big deal. It’s national man!

Reality has hit me. Oh boy. What have I gotten myself into this time. Our team didn’t do so well today. Tired from all the cheering. Long day. Ended only at 8.30 p.m..

Freaking out a little. Messaged some friends for comfort. Thank god they responded. They really calmed me down a lot. One knows how terrible I am. Another doesn’t. Still both helped to take my mind off the championship.

Registration

Registration and weighing in. Skipped lunch. Was worth it, very well in weight. Not many girls at the stadium. Most are of the younger age categories. 

Final Gym Training

Final training at gym before actual championship. I still feel unprepared. And I injured my toes, along with suffering some bruises from clashing of shins. Ouch. 

Final Fitness Training

Final training with KL team before actual championship. Received our t-shirts. I feel proud of it, but I also feel that I don’t deserve it. 

Holiday?

Public holiday today, but was still busy as ever. Had a meeting in the afternoon at Curve, regarding YLP. I seemed had a bad headache, where the crowds were getting to me. Left the Curve early to head for training. I’m getting rusty, even with the amount of training I’m getting. I know why. I need techniques training. My basics are weak. My techniques are weak. But we’re not doing that.  I don’t know how I’ll survive. 

Knight in Shining Armour!

I think I’ve found my knight in shining armour! Hahaha!

I was late for meeting. Turned out, meeting was cancelled because everyone wasn’t free. So, the only two of us who showed up went for lunch. Gossiped a little. He told me a bit, I told him a bit about what’s happening at our ends.

After lunch, we left because there wasn’t much left to do. His car was right in front. My car was a distance. I walked to my car, watched him drive past me. I was instinctively unlocking my car and all. And all of a sudden, I couldn’t unlock my steering lock. I looked at the key. Omg, the key was chipped. I tried again, couldn’t open it. It couldn’t fit into the lock. I got out of my car, and before I knew it, he was next to me. I told him I couldn’t unlock my steering lock. He got out of his car, and came over to help me. Don’t know how he did it, but he managed to unlock it for me. Which couldn’t have been easy, because even on a normal day I couldn’t do it, if the angle was not right.

That aside, there is something about him. I was comfortable with him even from the first day I met him. I like talking to him, and honestly, I feel that I can spend few hours sitting there just talking to him. He is the type of person I’ll automatically click with. 

Lost!

I’ve followed my friend there twice. Checked Google Maps countless times. Consulted friends at least 10 times. Still, I managed to get lost.

Destination? Cheras Badminton Stadium, a supposedly very famous stadium. Was there for training. However, despite getting lost, I still got there in good time. Only 40 minutes. Distance was about 25 km one way.

Coming home, again, after consulting people, I got terribly lost. Found my way back though. But ended up on a wrong road which was quite jam.

Oh well! I learnt some new roads today! At least I now know KL a little better! Won’t get lost the next time!
