Tonight is the night when Ratchanok Intanon accepted my facebook friend request. I am so happy. Well, it's not something like you can proud of but I don't know why I feel very very very excited when she accepted me. Since her name is a bit difficult to be typed so I will just type her nickname which is May to describe her in this post.
Before I write about May, I want to write about how my facebook friend request can be accepted by her first. Actually, I already sent the friend request weeks before it was accepted. However I didn't get the notification about the confirmation. In August 19th 2010 at 16.30 WIB she updated her status and it said that she need a help for her english homework. She had difficulties to write an essay about mother. Then, I sent message to her about my description about my mother. She thanked me and asked me to extend the description. She also asked on whether or not she disturbed me. Of course I said no and I write again my thought of my mother. Surely, I didn't forget to ask her to confirm my friend request. She thanked me again and confirmed it. She even commented my status. She didn't only comment on my status but she also very welcome toward other's critique about her. She replied those MEAN critiques in such elegant way for 15 years old girls. By those reasons I can conclude that she is humble and I will declare that me, GITYA DINA HERAWATY, is a fan of RATCHANOK INTANON, ^_^.
At first, I know her when I read thread in Badminton Central about World Junior Championship (WJC) 2009 in Mexico. She was the winner of Girl Single department, and guess what she also won WJC in 2008 which makes her the first person who wins WJC in two consecutive years. What I really impress about her is that she was just turned 14 when she won her first WJC (she was born on February 5th 1995). She is awesome, isn't she? Now, May is trying to compete in senior level. Her recent tournaments were Macau Open and Chinese Taipei Open. Unfortunately, she didn''t become champion on those tournaments. In Macau she was defeated by Zhou Mi on the first round and by Aprillia Yuswandari in Chinese Taipei open on the quarter final round. Well, she was just 15 years old after all. I don't want to think what would happen in the next 5 years if she can progress her skill and her mental. She will be the next badminton queen. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be a good news for Indonesia. Our players, especially for women are not so impressive. Do you read it, PBSI? Anyway, for now I can only write that about May. Perhaps in olympic 2016 I will write again about her getting gold. Go May!
