Shanna Ng vs Emily Ng
As usual I'd quite a good lagging which starts my game off. I took glances at my scoreboard twice. I was leading 3-1. And then when it comes to 5-3, Shanna called for a time-out again. I was damned afraid that e 3 years back incident would happen. I was praying so hard, BerTZ & Yw were praying too. I could feel it. And BertZ was so spritually with me in yesterday's match. First time to feel it. Because almost everytime I missed a shot, or won my game, I would turn and look at her. In her eyes, she told me I could do it. Before e game striked off, she told me,"I got a feeling today you can win her". It really came true and I took back e sweetest revenge of e year 2005. I won 7-4.
Feelings and thoughts thru this match:
1) BertZ & Yw were so concentrated on every shot I took for this match. And I mean every shot. I believed they could memorise whichever shot I took were good shots, and whichever that could be improved.
2) I imagined Jiao Lian by my side, coaching me some of my inconfident shots. He said, "Ni kan na li qiu orh, ni jiu miao zun ta, shun shun de ba ta tui guo qu. yao miao zun orh.." (You look at that shot, aim properly, and then slowly pushed it smoothly into e pocket.) And yes, I slotted e balls into e pockets.
3) Last few shots to winning my match. I told myself, "Emily, you see everybody is looking at you, all your supporters (imagining everyone there to be my supporters). All wanted you to win. Just slowly and steadily do it. Come on!"
4) BertZ really calm my mood down, and did alot of telepathy communication with me. We talked through e competition by heart. She had many encouraging moves and words to me. And I listened then abide by them.
5) My mind kept recalling what Jiao Lian had told me. I communicated to him too! At one point of time I cried to him, "Jiao Lian, I really don't how to safeguard that shot!" But still he wasn't around in Sg, I'd to make a fast decision by myself. Nobody could help me. I was so afraid. In e end, I really missed that shot. Yet it seemed that luck was on my side. Shanna didn't potted it too. And I took e chance to finish e game!
6) BertZ told me, " I was communicating to your cues. Your owner has brought you (cues) out for e first time to National tournaments. You guys must do it for her....." Sounded funny? But they really did a good job. I understood & loved them even more after yesterday's match. And I loved BertZ even even more ever since she told me her many many thoughts she had, that nobody would feel this for me, just like her.
I thought I already had enough attention yesterday. 2 fully concentrated persons watching through my games thoroughly. No unnecessary words/movements. Everything was just right. When I potted my last shot, BertZ BANGED on my table!!! Haha!!! She almost jumped out of joy! Yw too had a great smile and happiness for me. I could feel every joy they had for me! I made my day, they made my day toO!!!!!! So happy..... SO haPpY!!!! SO HAPPY SIAL!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah.......
Now, today (14/12/05) will be my quarter finals match with Shemaiah Ng. I don't know her well. I'd never play with her before. And I know I gotta keep my cool, just like yesterday. I will continue to remember what Jiao Lian had told me for Shanna's match, and I'll move on from there. Bong msged me " bi sai xian zai cai gang gang kai shi (now e game has just started...) " Haha! Agree with her lah.. But I think she watched too much tv shows liao lorr..
Let's see my zao hua today!
I should thank my boss for understanding as well, cos I'd took another half day today. Hee.....................
B's yao fang to win : Do your usual. Don't ganchiong. Don't be too eager to win. Don't be overconfident. Don't be moody. Concentrate. Don't stroke too fast. Sure win!
Once again, JIAYOU EMILY!!!! JIAYOU!!!! JIAYOU!!!! JIAYOU!!!!!! Arrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
