2nd September 2007My poor lil' 5 year old daughter suddenly stopped 3/4 of a way out of a 50 meter free style swimming competition for the category 9 years and under whilst being in 2nd position with only half a stoke away and catching up to a 9 year old girl in front of her(the girl who eventually ended up with 6 medals for the under 9 category). Her choking on water had her stopped half way to the finish line in which she could easily have won, but she pushed herself till the finishing line eventually coming in 4th. She also lost the 4X50meters relay due to one of her team mates didn't touch the wall.
With support from her parents and grandparents, her cousins and Aunts, even her coaches, we were routing and cheering for her shouting with enthusiasm. We were disappointed in the end nevertheless we were all very proud of what she could have achieved and her determination to finish a tough race considering that she was the youngest in the group, albeit the youngest to represent the Brunei National Swimming Scheme.
My dearest daughter, I know how disappointed you may feel, but its just a step up to your future. There is always many other opportunities later on as both babu and ayah knows that you have done your best and we know what you can achieve and proud of your determination. Just by being chosen to represent the National Scheme at your age is already amazing as it is and we will always support you whatever you do. Even ayah, uncle Sham and and Uncle Kambo didnt get to do what you did at your age. So chins up baby, you do us all proud!
