The Only Person I Wouldn’t Mind Losing To

One of the greatest threats to any sport player is falling in love.  LOL! 

It can lapse your concentration on training, don’t you know.

On the brighter side, once your girl gets into the came, life can be really cool.

Lately, it seems like my girlfriend is starting to get serious about beating me big time in ping pong. Just the other week, we had a little fun with it and she almost had me.

With that strange fire in her eyes, I was forced to put on my shoes and switch to my competitive self. I thought it was another walk in the park with free pizza and beer again on the line. But I was wrong.

Like a scene from a movie adaptation of a comic series, she quickly tossed a coin up in the air and made it disappear in an instant. She calls the pick and got the first serve.

The air suddenly turned heavy and the tension around increased exponentially. Somehow the room feels suffocating and we knew, at any moment the quiet place will turn into a hostile battleground.

And so the fight went on!

She served the ball the way she normally does it. But as I return the ball, her straight face sent shiver down my spine and without a sound she scored the first point of the game with a smash packed with an awesome side spin. It was then I felt that she was really serious in beating the hell out of me.

The exchanges were hard and the rallies were long. It felt like world table tennis championship with Wang Liqin or Ma Lin, two of the best table tennis players of today.

But in the end, with my very tight defense against her burning drives, I emerged victorious. And just like the old times, I was the one who paid for the bill. All my defenses crumbled before her teary eyes (she does that every time she asks for favor).
What a game!
