AHHH-CHOOO!!!!

wa..gotta clear the dust and cobwebs here man, it's making my nose itch, haven't been updating for close to 3 weeks now.

promised ppl back in aussieland that i'll blog about my fruitful KL trip so i better do it NOW!!! haha..if not they'll kill me..hee

OK!!i'm sure most of you would know by now that i made a hasty decision to go back to KL within a week to watch the Volkswagen Table Tennis Women's World Cup to watch my idol Feng Tianwei play as well as support Team Singapore.

managed to talk to her only after 2 days cos i couldn't muster up enough courage, each time only able to get her autograph after much shoving from my cousins..lolz...but don't know wad went into me on the last day, after her win against Wang Yuegu, i summoned up my courage and went up to the manager and asked if i could speak to her..and he said YES!!!he nodded to me after Tianwei finished her interview with the media ppl and signalled for me to head outside. went outside, had a nicely taken picture with her, asked her if she read the encouragement letter from her fans back in singapore, and she said yes, and asked her if she could say a few words for her supporters back home and she did one tt lasted 27seconds!!i had no idea she was gonna say sooo much..lolz!! and my name was in The Straits Times last tuesday, labelled as a "die-hard fan" by reporter lin xinyi, whom i found familiar, turned out she played table tennis during her uni days too, met her before in the IVP games, can't remember which uni she's from already, haha..

i went for Tianwei's 2nd game on the first day, i missed her game with Miao Miao, and saw her losing to Li Xiaoxia, realised that she was really down and disappointed and decided to do something for her. went home after that and sent an sms to Joan and asked her to gather all the fans in Sg to compile a list of encouragement stuff that they wanna say to Tianwei, maximum efficiency man!!Li Na got it down the next morning, so the next day, i gave the envelope to Tianwei before her match with Li Jiao from Netherlands.

i was like the KL correspondent for the Tianwei Fanclub back in Sg, uploading videos each night onto the facebook page, haha, glad i could do something for the club, and for all the fans who can't be there due to the exam period. Tianwei is a really nice person (but quite shy), i think she might have recognised me since i was like the only 1 with a Sg flag (or any flag at all) stuck onto the tripod stand all the time..lolz, cos she waved to me after her Yuegu game..damn happy la!!!

i wanna say a very BIG THANK YOU to my dear cousins!!!! welcoming me into their home on such short notice, gave me a nice big room to sleep in, gave me good food to eat everyday, but small appetite though the 4 days i was there cos my mind was all on the competition and wanting to hurry to the venue to watch Tianwei play, i actually lost 1KG coming back from KL, lolz

check out this facebook page where i'm one of the admins after the KL trip, lolz:

that basically sums up my 4 days KL trip, heading to Genting on the 25th of September with Leng Sie and Huishan. i didn't use much money this KL trip cos almost (if not everything) was paid for by my cousins and my uncle/auntie, so yea, the money will be left for the genting trip, hehe, and just got word that my HK cousin is getting married and will be holding their wedding dinner in KL instead of HK so that we dun have to ALL fly to HK like the other time for his brother's wedding..so yes, will be heading to KL again come 3rd October..
