Haha. Outdated gila! Mood baru sampai jadi baru dapat nak update pasal ni.
Sebaik je tahu Malaysia jadi host memang terus plan nak pergi tengok olahraga. Any event will do, asalkan dapat hari yang bersesuaian which was either Friday or Monday sebab senang nak mintak cuti sehari je kan.
Jadi sebulan sebelum Sukan SEA start, aku hari-hari pergi check event schedule. Bila dapat tau free admission ticket for athletics, lagilah berkobar-kobar nak prgi.
Hajat di hati nak jugak tengok 100m and 200m final, tapi, acara tu berlangsung in the middle of weekdays, jadi hasrat tu dilupakan jelah. Luckily for us, final match for 4X100 (men and women) and long jump (women) was held on Friday. Dan memang dari zaman sekolah dua acara tu memang wajib masuk. Maka, double yeay di situ hehe.
Seingat aku, last berada dalam stadium untuk acara olahraga was in my 2nd year USM. Dekat stadium USM main campus. Rindunya nak sprinting and jumping, tapi apakan daya, nilah game yang orang takkan main dah once you're 'fully-retired' from it, kan? Kalau main badminton ke futsal ke netball ke, tennis ke, bolehlah lagi main untuk suka-suka. And this is because, according to Micheal Johnson in his book - Gold Rush, athletics is not a recreational sports. People don't 'play' athletics for leisure.
Okay, enough reminiscing.
Sampai stadium ngam-ngam betul atlit-atlit wanita 4x100 tengah get ready kat track. Sempatlah ambik video yang super-amateur quality ni (tapi video 4x100 women tak lepas nak upload). But, not sure whether it's view-able or not. If not, I'll just remove it later.
The results:

Busy bebenor YB ni, tengah wefie pun nak kena jawab phone |
Kat tengah padang masa tu ada jugak acara Javelin final. Dan dekat sebelah hujung kanan sana acara Long Jump, so dari seat kami tak nampak. Nak menapak ke sana tu satu hal pulak, maka tengok di big screen jelah. Antara sebab aku suka sangat long jump dulu sebab event tu macam low profile sikit. Orang tak pay attention sangat kat dia, jadi pressure tu kurang. Unlike the 100m, perasaan antara "On your mark" and the "Bang" tu - Allah je yang tahu dia punya dub-dab tu. Tapi paling best masa sprint tulah - tak boleh nak describe perasaan tu haha.
Okaylah, terubat sudah rindu di hati.
