Sea Games/Taekwondo: Injured Chew Chan battles her way to gold

SHE wasn't at her best but Che Chew Chan hung on to retain the women's middleweight taekwondo gold at the Vongchavalitkul Hall yesterday.


She won by the slenderest of margins, carving out a 1-0 win over Vietnam's Bui Thu Hien and that too courtesy of her opponent incurring a penalty point. Chew Chan, who qualified for the Beijing Olympics by winning the Asian Qualifier in Vietnam on Dec 1, trailed 1-0 after the first round. She drew level in the second and both exponents took a cautious approach in the third but Chew Chan was spared a sudden-death fight when the Vietnamese was twice penalised with half-point deductions."I was not in my best condition and I am thankful to have still won. I admit I was lucky but I am still recovering from an injury and the doctors have advised me to take a two-week break after the Games," said Chew Chan, who hails from Pontian, Johor.

It was her third gold of the Sea Games series as prior to Manila two years ago, she won in the Kuala Lumpur edition in 2001. Having drawn a bye into the final as only three exponents competed, Chew Chan said she will focus her sights on preparing for Beijing now. Malaysia also collected four bronze medals on the first day of taekwondo through men's middleweight Wong Kai Meng, heavyweight Rozy Khamis, women's welterweight Norfaradila Mohammad Zairy and heavyweight Shu Seo Hie.

Congratulations to you, and the rest of the Sea Games medallist. you made us Malaysians proud!

broken promises~~

masa : 10.32 am
situasi : Disember bermula...
iTunes : hmm, anuar zain's Anuar Zain?
[delicious wuhuu~~]

it's the holiday seasons...Aidiladha is just around the corner, not counting the Christmas eve.

[my birthday too~~hehehe]

typically, i'll be 'bombarded' with wedding invitations, kenduri doa selamat [plenty, for the time being since there were numbers of senior teachers performing Hajj this year], friends wanting to see me, and typically their favourite number one question is :

"oi bile ko nak kawin?".

...to which i'll reply with a bland, boring smile... [heh]

it's not something that i was avoiding. it's just that, maybe it's not the time, yet.

truthfully, i'm still single. but i never made myself available. i just don't want to.

am i choosy? nolahhhh...why must i, kan?

[heloo macamlaa aku ni miss universe nak berangan bagai huhuu]

i guess the problem is that i am me. because i'm so dreaded to go through the roller-coaster rides of relationship, again.

i'll puke the next time someone came up to me and serenade his sugary-sweet love-lingos, thinking that i'm so pleased and wanting to hear that lah?

i'm tired of making promises nor hearing them. i hated trying so hard changing to be that particular PERFECT lady that 'the other half' wanted me to. i've been through every experience resulting me making a complete fool of myself. to which after a while, it's torturous and sickening.

i don't hate men. they're a part of me very single moment. my abah, my brother, my 'ickle naufal... what's more i'm teaching an all-boys secondary school, there's plenty of them to love or loathe.

but to go through another phase of getting to know someone, to get along with him, to understand his character, to love his every colours, to take him in as what he is... i don't know. it's almost two years since the last one [he's already happily married, by the way] and i'm still here. waiting for mr.Perfect? nobody's perfect, that's the truth.

and, of course, for him to care for me, and take my family as his. little naufal too.

you see - you don't know me, really.

it's pieces of a thousand jigsaw you're trying to put together. every piece is sweet, another one is too hard to discover. in the end either you liked the whole picture you wanted to frame it up or you'll leave it there in pieces, back to it's original form. tattered and in mess.

[what a loser ~ yes, you.]

am i complaining? heck, i don't even know why i'm writing this!
