Volleyball!

Women's gymnastics. Swimming. Women's volleyball matches.

These are the three events that I will never fail to watch on tv :)
Live telecast or not, it does not matter. I find these three games most interesting to watch, especially the women's volleyball game. Wow, those tall, slim, sexy women hitting at it headstrong to win the medals...

Have you ever wished you were that champion girl competing at the Olympics?

Hehehe...silly as it may sound, I used to wish that - competing in the gymnastics event, earning that recognition, that gold medal, that smiles and tears of success. Muahahaha...of course, these are all just a dream. A dream that will never come true in this current life of mine :P

Anyway, I saw the women's preliminary volleybal match yesterday between China and Cuba.
I was surprise to see the Chinese's strength and skills. They were just as good as the Cubans, who were former champions in the past Olympic games. The match scores were really close. Both were exceptional teams. Still, the Cubans won the match. But I was puzzled when I saw the summary of the preliminary match - China still tops the list, first in rank. Weird. Maybe that match I saw was the last round to play before entering the semifinals. But, my friend told me they judge by scores not the winner of the game. So that could explain the scores.

The Cuban coach was a fierce man. He felt annoyed and tensed the whole time. But the Chinese coach, oddly, was constantly smiling and laughing. He maintened a cool demeanour throughout the whole match. One thing I laughed at - the amount of time-outs called by each coach. I realized each time the Chinese team took the lead, even if it was by one or point or they gained to a tie, the Cuban-old-man would sound the horn for a time-out session. Hahaha! It was really a funny sight. He did show some *ahem* kiasu symptoms :P Maybe it was the pressure coming on as it was a tough match and most likely they would want to keep their champion title.

Oh, but the Cubans were aggresive. The gals were shouting and screaming with spirit during the game. Every smack, every rebound, every slam, they scream!

I realized the Chinese can never be that aggresive. I guess that is their only weak point. The chinese have been good in games which require polished skills, take an example - table tennis. Probably there is nothing much I can describe about it. It is only my observation and probably a few others who have the same perception.

Well, well...

I think age is finally catching up on me. Or maybe it is just the fact that I have not been skating for more than 2 years? Haha, I actually lost touch in ice skating. Blah.

And I actually boasted about knowing how to skate to my boyfriend -_-'

about me

Home: KL, Malaysia
School: U of A

I am someone who frets a lot - I call it a psychological disorder. I am constantly trying to escape my complex mind which, very often, drives me and my close companions to the edge of insanity. Born under the sun star Libra, I am greatly affected by a disease called "indecisiveness". Nicknames were never part of my dictionary until I met some people who decided to name me "turtle". Soon, I was representing a zoo of hamsters, "sotongs", pigs, cats, etc...
