I’ve come across some spectacular encounters in my young life but today’s incident sure as hell beat the crap out of those. It was more amazing than me bankrupting my friends in 7 straight rounds of tai ti, more unbelievable than me nearly getting guillotined by the doors of a SBS bus, more out-of-this world than me getting squid aqueous humour up my nostrils while doing squid dissection, more miraculous than me managing to score a 3-pointer while playing bball when I was in pri sch.
It happened while I was playing pool and Liang attempted a move that would have made Steve Davis cry. He wanted to triple e black ball into the last pocket but it ricocheted off the cushion, made a graceful arc in the air and landed in the aforementioned pocket.
Path of said black ball
After that, we laughed so hard while playing that the master decided to retire. So we made it just in time to see Lee Jia Wei thrash that scary Korean woman in the amazing 11-0 third set. I was cheering loudly and booing her opponent in my excitement, drawing many weird stares from our fellow TV watchers (we were in public) and during those last excruciating moments I was whimpering and cowering in my seat (said TV watchers decide to move to another TV). That said, maybe it's a good thing that she lost after all. Imagine Singapore funding her and Susilo's wedding with 500 thousand dollars!
