When I heard the news, I was elated as Table tennis has been my so called guardian angel since primary education. Secured a silver medal! That's the sport I'm been playing and I'm proud of it.
As for the match for the gold medal, I was devastated not because of how Singapore players did, but I felt not well when we Singapore did not win the game. As a matter of fact, it's a crosscut for Singapore anyway and they themselves know they cannot win the game beforehand.
Seriously, Li jia wei's opponent was a tough nut to crack as she was able to control the ball freely with the spin and knock back to Li jia wei's notorious backhand( in which she was quite weak and unable to give a full drive.
Everytime when the ball point goes to the opponent's team, I would scream "No!" and "What the hell!". But, I could say Singapore had came far enough. More than enough.
This is my bat! Which made me look at it once more.
