A fairy tale story.
our lives are all comprises of many stories running stimultaneously, with each stories, different characters are involved. mine is definitely of no exceptions. in the first post in a long time, in my first post, of the year, i will have a story to go with it. a real life story of my table tennis playing stint.
some brief update... lost my music book, somehow misplaced it, so all my 3/4 songs are on hold.
lost a ring... is it time to really forget?
A paddler's table tennis tale:
INTRODUCTION (for the sake of the story, i will be called ty throughout the story)
TY was a mildly autistic child when he was born. He wasn't accustomed to have people around him from the moment he was born. As an infant, he will wail whenever anyone touches him (including his parents). It wasn't until he was 12 mth old that doctors realised that he is mildly autistic. (in fact, ty only found out his illness in 2005, somewhere nearing his 21st birthday, when his parents truly felt he was ready to accept the truth to his childhood). As a kid, ty was hard to managed. he had a foul temper and wanted his way all the time. Psychiatrist recommend to his parents to let him pick up sports and uses his instinct to slowly interact with people, but that idea almost backfired. no doubt, like all other kids, ty is restless, and moves around alot. but he has inherited acute childhood asthma and is prone to asthmatic attacks. nonetheless, ty's condition improved gradually over time, with minimal medication (mild autism only, what do you expect?)
in 1993, when ty was in primary 3, the school started a table tennis club. when the club was started, ty wasn't part of it (much to popular story beliefs...). it wasn't until the end of year, that his form teacher appealed to his class students to join the club which he runs. ty took up the offer (he has kinda like that teacher, and ty has a great academic year under the teacher) and in nov 1993, ty receives his first lesson in table tennis.
ok, i added the autistic part as filler. haha... but like i had just said, its filler, to delay space... a part 2 will come really soon... its called...
THE FIRST YEAR.
