aviva open - quater finals

i wasn't planning to go for the quarter finals today. then lj msg me in the noon and ask me if i wanted to. i was thinking 'peter gade vs ronald susilo, shld be quite exciting.. i wanna watch both of them play'. But then again, i thought it would be a waste of time, cos the travelling time is pretty long.. and i haven't study anything in the day yet.. so, in the end, after much contemplation, i decided 'no, i'm not gg, it's a waste of time, and i need to be studying'.

So, i took a nap at 3 plus, woke up at 5 plus, and wanted to go jogging. But it rained, so i juz sat in the living room, munching on the koko krunch, while staring at the tv set. I was watching Holland V, then dinner was ready, so i went to eat. I look at the time '530.. match will begin in 2 hrs..wonder how it'll be..'. Finally, i made the decision, 'I WANT TO GO WATCH THE MATCH!' I msged lj, she was on her way home. Luckily, she was still up for it. So, we met at 7 at kallang, and rushed to the stadium.

Just in time for the match, walked thru the entrance, and walked past peter gade.. hehe.. There was quite alot of spectators, most of them were there to support ronald susilo. We set at the line judges area.. So the match began. Everytime ronald scored a point, the spectators will ALL CLAP VERY LOUDLY. then if peter gade scores, can only hear some applause, and my extreme loud clapping.(I'm on peter's side!! Go PETER!) yup, thankfully, and rightfully, peter gade won, in straight sets,(he almost lost the first). 21-19, 21-16.. yea!

Oh, while i was busy watching the match, lj was watching the one gg on in court 5, which was china's chen hong vs this tall and gd looking Malaysian. It took chenhong 3 sets before he won the match..

After that, i heard fr a fren that the bus comes hourly, so i wanted to go outside and wait for gade to get his autograph. So ard 840, we left the court area. (before that we let chen hong sign on our pass, but according to him, my marker was not very good :S) ya, so, then we opened the door, and THERE HE WAS!!! PETER GADE!!! and his IBA coach.. they were walking towards us, so we were like, 'yea'!!!! There was this uncle behind them, asked gade to sign on his shirt. So, we juz like waited, and then we asked him to sign my 2 photos and lj's pass.. then me and lj were like 'thank you thank you!' And gade replied 'welcome welcome' So sweet!!!

yea! so i got a photo wif him and his autograph.. woah, that's cool man, i shld do that for the other sports events in the future. Oh there was this cute orange shirt guy whom mel, sw, sheena, and another fren was so crazy over wif. but they didn't manage to get his pic. (this is the guy whom sheena and mel thought were peter gade) I didn't really look closely at his face, so can't give my comments yet. From far, looks average lor.. It's ok, maybe we'll take a photo wif him aft the finals on sun. *prays hard that gade gets into finals and wins the aviva open* woah, then liddat i'd be one of the few ppls who have his autograph and picture and have contact wif him.. hehe..
