Last Thursday was our table tennis competition finals. My junoir girls team had to assemble in the canteen before setting off to Chongfu Primary School. My team consisted of Celeste, Yu Xuan, Jiarong, Haohan, Julia, Claudia and me. We were so anxious that we kept on saying that we were going to lose. The schools that we had to play against were Nanyang and Ai Tong. Of course, we could not win Nanyang but maybe for Ai Tong.
After singing the National Anthem and saying the pledge, my team and I set off with Madam Eng. When we reached Chongfu, we went to greet our coach and practised with her for the last 20 minutes. Celeste was the first single, Claudia and I the first double, Jiarong the second double, Haohan and Julia the second double and lastly, Yu Xuan the last single.
The first match started at 10.30. We were going to play against Nanyang. All of us tried our best to win them but lost 5-0. We then had our break. I bought some drinks and snacks to eat as I was famished. Later, we went to the hall again to play against our next opponent, Ai Tong.
We played against Ai Tong at 11 am. They were quite an easy feat as we beat them 4-1. Our coach then told us that we would be 3rd in position in this whole competition. All of us shouted in glee. We would be getting our trophies on the 18 of July. We were elated. So, as a treat, Madam Eng treated us to a scrumptious Mcdonalds' feast! All of us had the nugget meal.
We then went back to school to tell the Senior Boys this delightful news as they were going to play the finals later in the afternoon. I hope that we will continue to work hard and get first next year! :)
