The last time I wore my sports shoes was lk last jan when I was coaching st ants. Today was a killer! Lk seriously, I thought I was going to faint! Lk I had a terrible headache while I was on court. And I was soooo bad! Can you imagine I was trying out for the girls team, like ‘selections’ and I was walking on court! WALKING!! Not slow pace jogging, like WALKING! Grandma walking. Plus all my passes were terrible! It kept getting intercepted by all the freaking boys! Stupid boys go back and play basketball! Ok not all, but at least 5 times! 5 times to shoot myself! It was such a bad tryout.

Ohhh another thing, the team is full white! Lk not a single asian player at all! No yellow skin to be found! I was the only asian there, I reckon the only international student too! Before we started playing, the coach came up to me and asked what position do I play, I replied mid court, preferably WA/WD, next qn was so where have you been playing? I was lk errrm spore? and she just ohhh…hahah. I had nth else to say, all I could tell her was ive been playing since I was 11 till about 19. I haven’t played for about close to a year. i cant tell her like ohh I was from IJ netball, like she’s gona know, my coach is mum whye, u know that lady that punishes her team after we win a match. Make us sprint with weights, after running 3 rounds for warm-up, and sprint again to see how much faster we can go without weights. She made us do steps with medicine balls in between our legs, that even our own school teachers took pity on us. We did so many drills that we broke the one of the signs that was hanging on the wall, the toilet windows and one of the games room window. I swear sometimes I felt I was training for track & field; I bet they didn’t even train as hard as us. Honestly I have no idea how I went through all that. 4 years of my life, training, training, training. Sometimes I think I did it out of fear, I don’t rem pushing myself so hard during P.E lessons, or sports day. In fact I was one of the few that would just sit out from PE. my last NAFA test was back in sec1, after that I managed to get myself excused from it. See I really hated to exercise, but when it came down to netball training, I honestly think it was because I was so damn scared of my coach that I pushed myself to exercise. If I were to tell any of my friends now that I did all that when I was younger, how fit I was, they would think I was lying. Ohhh man, those were the days….

Ok sorry for that random chuck, only phae will ever understand the love hate relationship I have with netball. The only thing I like about playing netball is the whole adrenaline rush when we are up against a really strong team. A team that’s on par or slightly above our standard. The last time I felt that was when we played with one of the nike team during the netball marathon. Ohh man, I love those games, especially when we’re performing well. You feel damn bloody drained, but it feels so good after the whole match. Ohh man, if we didn’t lose to that stupid bob’s team, I bet we would have gotten first! I really hate bob’s team.

I guess one of the main reason why im actually bothered to try out for this netball team is cause somewhere I know deep down inside, im longing for that feeling. To play again with a good team and I guess since im in aus, the land with one of the best netball players, why not give it a shot yar. Uni games are end sept, it’s gona be held in gold coast. How exciting right! Frankly, I don’t think I’ll make it to the team. The team has already been training together since last sem, so technically they’ve got 6 more weeks till the uni games, I don’t think they would want to kick someone out and put me into the team. They already got all their body suits and all that. Ohhh well, we’ll see next wk. I guess there’s always next yr. nahhh, I don’t think I’ll bother trying out for next year if I don’t get into this yr’s team.

Anyhow this wk is gona be packed. Tmr im gona watch the simpsons!!!!!! Spider pig!! wed im meeting mel after uni, followed by drinks with my friends at the ranch, thu ive got uni till 9pm!! Fri im spending the day with mel, followed by my friend’s charity event in the evening and then clubbing later at night. Sat is some bbq and sun is rock climbing. Ive no time to do my readings and tutorials! Hahah, ok maybe I’ll skip simpsons, drinks and rock climbing. We’ll see how much I can clear tonight, but im so tempted to log on to crunchyroll and watch my full house!!

Okok it’s time to get off my monster; time to catch up with mr trotman and mr swann.toots poots my fellow black hair, small eyes, yellow/brown/dark brown skin peeps.

p.s ohh u know what phae, you know the game that coach makes us play, the one where we are split into teams, and the objective of the game is to throw the ball into the other goal third; preventing the ball from touching the ground? They play that over here too! We did that for training today, and to think we thought coach was so creative with all her drills. Haha.
