According to the
latest WSF ruling, the third singles does not have to play
if a team is leading 2-0. Today, we beat India en route to
the finals. As the order of play was 3-1-2, Sharon did not
feature after Nicol and I won our matches. I thought this
new ruling made perfect sense. Knowing a certain team has
already won, people naturally do not pay attention to the
third match as it does not matter to them whether a team won
3-0 or 2-1. A short conclusion of the new ruling : the third
singles either doesn't play at all, or plays the crucial,
nerve-wrecking decider. A vast contrast. |

Team
breakfast with team manager, Mary Lee. |

|
10.40a.m : |
Went to Lot
10 for groceries. We thought a walk would be better than
lazing in our very comfy bed, as to prevent from feeling
lethargic during evening's matches. |

|
4p.m : |
Light hit as warm up. Ray told
us that the Japanese's team manager was involved in a snatch
thief incident earlier today. She hung on to her handbag but
fell and grazed her elbow. Ashamed of city conditions.
Heard also that a demonstration was held by hotel employees
somewhere nearby, two days ago. |

Played India. |

Had massage session with Ronald. After,
can feel arms and legs operating again. |
| |
|
|
6.30p.m : |
Watched our Malaysian men play
against India. A small crowd was watching and volunteers of
the Championship were hooting loudly a la football. Great
supporters they were. |
|
|
|
|
6.50p.m : |
Nicol got herself fine tuned by
Ronald. Was also free of aches and pains later. |
|
|
|
|
7.30p.m : |
Last team meeting regarding
tomorrow's matches. Ray asked about our well-beings and team
manager gave us allowance. Apparently, allowance was
increased by RM30 because we entered the finals. A big WOW!
Right. |

9p.m : |
Gumps brought Nicol and I to
California Kitchen, KLCC for dinner. Ate too well. Feel the
need to lie down urgently to ease stomach. Saw a few
Japanese participants walking around the mall. They looked a
bit lost. Or maybe just awe-struck by the beauty of the
mall. I don t know. |

|
|
|
11p.m : |
Making our way back to the
hotel. Saw prostitutes just around the corner of our hotel!
Very grossed out. Now realised how unsafe this area
is.Regret not taking self-defence class. Also regret not
packing mom's meat axe into suitcase. |
|
|
|
|
11.30p.m : |
Double-checked the door lock.
Definitely do not want weirdoes breaking-in. Nicol gave some
tips for my match tomorrow. A bit of tv and we called it a
night. |
