amkan competition!

this is der 1st taekwondo poomsae championship organised by der Arena team. there was not as many contestants that i expected bcoz most of der competitors had gone back to their home town as deepavali's arrival. well, it could say that i have der advantage or a bigger chance to win der championship.

der competition supposedly started at 9am, i had warmed myself up b4 we were asked to warm up at 8am something bcoz i felt pretty nervous as there was not my home ground. after they announced der competition would be started at 10am something i felt wanted to bang der organiser liao, let me waited for so long body also cooled down somemore they wanted to start off with der color belt competitors 1st, aiyo.. i was like very boring oredi! felt tired & less energy coming out from my body bcoz kept on waiting, i was hungry & exhausted that time, i had no choice to have some power bar gel to regain some energy 1st b4 i felt down in der middle, hehe...

when came to der performance by der Arena group, they performed very well & i had learned some special kicks & techniques from them. after their performance, finally was our turn to compete, i felt very nervous & my body very cold at that moment. when i went out into der stage, i tried to control myself where i have to turn my nervousness to power. i did very well in koryo (1st pattern), 77 points i think it was not my best ever mark as i had not been training since june, i lead by 4 points ahead of der 2nd place guy. we straight go into der final round which we had to perform keumgang (2nd pattern) it is my worse pattern, der guy lead me by 1 point. obviously i got champion!

came to der prize presentation, i was shocked when they announced that der silver medalist was me! i thought they counted it by average, that means they counted only der final round. i was shocked by der announcement which i could not believe i lost der champion, lost a gold medal! cinya amkan! bcoz of der final round, bcoz of only 1 point, i lost!

looking at recording of der 2nd poomsae, i saw der guy had a lot of power in certain movement which i didn't have, guess this is my weak point in keumgang, i should have practised harder for it. well, it was over, no use to argue again. juz treat it as an experience! next time i am sure i'll get champion for sure if i met him again!
