Pandelela we are informed is just the girl next door; an ordinary girl with the golden ambition.
To make it to the Olympics from a humble background and beginning. No frills. Just fight tooth and nail.
No time for regrets; no time for pampering, no time to give excuses.
Such is Malaysia's latest star in the Olympics.
The diver.
Behind her success to whom she publicly admits is her father; the man who knew that her girl is a water baby and gives her all the support. I love the story of the struggle to do well amidst stiff competition from the international scene. But most of all I admire Pamg Joheng's belief in his daughter; that she could make it. So he used the humble vehicle to send her for regular practice and training. So he is right. His daughter has the potential, guts and physique for the sports. Father and daughter work hand in hand in a loving relationship. She tells her contemporaries a good attitude and story. To appreciate her parents for what they can provide and not blame circumstances for what she lacks. That's the value I love.Many can learn from her.
This is Pandelela; the tough nut made up of a tough composition; fit for world sports.
Pandelela reminds me of Seafield's very own girl next door...Eugenia.She is also a local girl from Sarawak and she represented the country in the recent Sukma games. Doesn't she too remind you of another success story? We hope and pray she can make it to the international arena too; one day.
Eugenia, run.
The girls.
