and so, after what must have been the most intensive day of exercise for me in this whole year, ISG'07 has finally come to an end. wee kim wee score card: 1 silver for touch rug (no mean feat man!), 1 bronze for volleyball girls, 1 bronze for netball girls. the later 2 being medals i would get too. whopee! =P Labels: isg, random, school holidays
i think i really pushed myself to the limits today, given the super taxing schedule of games. i was on court for volleyball, and right after (and i really mean immediately after) that (thank goodness we beat hss in 3 sets!), charmain and i had to rush down to the courts to play nie in the netball semis. to say the truth, i was already tired when i started the game, my muscles were already aching from the one week of games. i must say i am really proud of the girls for putting up such a good fight, especially in the first third, until i saw phoebs fall in front of my eyes and started grimacing in pain. and i really mean screaming in agony. in the 7 years i have known her, i have never seen her in such a state. got a big fat shock, i was thinking, "die liao, surely damn bad". although she made it seem very bad, glad to hear later that there's no fracture and all, just a very bad sprain. =) now i think think think, i think maybe it's cos she seldom sprains her ankle, or should i say almost never? i dun rmb her injuring her ankle back in sec sch, so maybe she's not used to the pain lah, unlike me who suffered quite a bit of sports injuries all over. lol. charmain says i am 20 but i have the mental state of 40, and body of an old lady. RAHHH.
so we lost to nie in the end. but you know what was the irritating thing? a game was supposed to be 3 thirds of 10mins - netball uses rolling time, but for the nie game the kuku time-keepers stopped time whenever the ball was not in play lah! like out-balls, penalties and stuff. MY GOODNESS. no wonder we were all so damn exhausted by the time we reached the end of the game. what's more? we had to play the 3rd/4th match against nbs barely 15mins later. frankly speaking, i thot there wasnt much hope for that game cos the nbs i saw in the prelims was really strong, but fortunately for us, their best players dint come. =D we were leading after the first third, but only by 4 to 2, so it really could have gone either way. i'm glad the team fought on and WOOHOO! we got the bronze! =D
to phoebs, bernie, jen, charmain, xiang hong, angela, sheila, shima, liyana (did i miss anyone out? i hope not!), thank you for being fighters on court, thank you for fighting with me, thank you for being part of the CS team. may, i know you wanted to follow phoebs to the hospital, but thanks so much for staying back for us, i really saw the yellow.......mini-banner (? haha =P) you waved every time we did sth good on court, and i thought it was really cool we have our own cheerleading team! =P but so paiseh to my teammates, especially charmain, angela and jen, who had to play on even though they have injuries somewhere cos we really dint have enuf players! -_- i love you all! =D
it still feels good to be back doing what i'm best at. some things never change and after you acquire that something, it's just so not possible to lose it. =)
this year, i learnt a new sport too - volleyball. i'm glad to have been part of this team, in which members are so encouraging and funny to be with and talk to. they are funny even when they are on court. seriously, this team laughs a lot on court leh! lol. =P to shuyi, shiting, charmain, ya yun, rui qi, poh ling, yi ling, thank you for accommodating me, someone who doesnt play volleyball, and for not blaming me when i cant serve the ball over the net! lol. talk about serving the ball, goodness me, when i practise outside of match time, the ball flies quite nicely over the net, but during the actual game, the ball just refuses to cross the net during the match! I DON'T KNOW WHY! so paiseh and so sad lor. -_- but the team was very nice lah, i rmb saying sorry sorry throughout the game, but they keep telling me it's ok. actually, i think volleyball can be quite fun, shall try it again next year if we dun have enough people again. haha =)
i'm burnt now, both sun burnt and burnt as in totally drained of energy, very tired. and seriously, my leg muscles are aching. it's those ache until no matter how i stretch also won't help the situation kind of ache. and my right shoulder joint feels weird, i think it "cracked" when i was trying to spike (wah, like i damn pro leh, can spike. but actually er.....haha =P) the ball during warm-up. RAHHH. really old already lah! =(
woah, this has been a super long post. i shall go back to my idol drama now. lol. i'm so glad i dun have to wake up early to go school for games anymore. WAHAHAHA =P
oh by the way, i finally passed my final theory on the second try this afternoon! dint want to say anything to anyone before that cos i scared later nv pass then will be super paiseh! hahaha =P okokokok i should really stop typing now. heh =P
