Sporty Gal

........... Nope, I'm not.

HaHa, Yesh, you heard it right, I am so nuah I dont see why have to torture myself.

It's no doubt my skin is sooo tanned but that does not necessarily mean I am sporty. LOL.
Hmmm....

Starting running since I was five. Remembering the days I went jogging with my family every weekend evenings. How cool it was back then to own one pair of track shoes and many pairs of socks. Racing with my brother and trying to show off I can run faster and longer than my parents. Haha. But when all slowly have busier lives, we stopped having weekends run.

Back when I entered Primary school, I was trained for long jump and triple jump. And surprisingly, high jump, which I suck badly at. Jump jump jump, it was fine but I didnt like myself getting sandy because of the jumping pit.

I'd rather challenge my schoolmates at the monkey bar for a cup of free drink. Sometimes landed myself in mud, errrr... okway, most of the times landed myself in mud for playful a fool and being the small sized me, usually bullied by the malay boys. Skipped classes (yes, primary school) to stay in toilet to wash my brown-coloured shoes before I get home and get a thrashing from mom.

During PE was the most boring. I never failed to come in first in running. Ended up in canteen having drinks and food (that means waste money) while the rest were still running. I was already at my slowest speed.

Secondary school, I decided to relax and enjoy my school life. But nightmare haunted me. We as new students to the school have to run in circles in the basketball court while the teachers, coaches and instructors stood in middle to select their students. I ran soooooo darn slow, purposely, in hope not to get chosen. Suay enough, was chosen by Volleyball coaches. I wondered which part of me looks as if I know ball games!!?

I was stuck to Volleyball for a year. Remembered how I persuaded my mom to meet my Principal to help me quit Volleyball. While most of the girls are dying to get into the team, I was trying all means to get out of the team! Volleyball is one of the always winning sports for my school back then. Glam and Respect, they want. But not me.

Lower Secondary was afternoon session. But I have to reach school even earlier than those morning session students! Training was 5days a week from Monday to Saturday with Wednesday as no CCA day. Every training session, first thing to do is to sweep the volleyball courts, prepare net, collect trolleys of balls, prepare tub of water for drinking, clean the cups, etc. BUT! Latecomers will have to frog-jump the court. Late once, jump one round, late twice, jump two rounds and soooo forth... Yes, my rounds that I have to jump becomes infinity over the months. I only stopped when my coach got heartache. LOL.

So, tell me how can I stay in the team?? Volleyball ladies have huge wide thighs and ya, I was vain, I didnt want that, so dying to quit.

I didnt managed to quit even after skipping trainings, late for friendly matches, badmouth the team, etc. I only managed when I was poached by Track & Field (T&F). OMG. Another torture. It happened when T&F coach became my PE teacher and I again, never fail to finish the run FIRST. So he saw the potential and tried psycho me during swimming test. He saw how my classmates held on to me while treading water. I handled them with ease. He urged me to take up swimming survivor course. WTH, can I get away with sports?!?!!!

So, I ended up in Cross-Country and T&F team. Sigh.

Same thing, I skipped trainings, I purposely lose at races, I hide during training and only reappear when the training ends, etc. Still, being called for competitions. URGH. But coach said because of my bad discipline, I do not get new shoes. Damn it! But of course I have all the privileges I want in my entire secondary! I have never tuck in my shirt before, skipped classes and hang around in the school, dyed hair, wear accessories like a x'mas tree, get in fights, etc and I never got seriously punished.

I only got suspended because............................ I failed my most subjects with only 20+/100 average. Sigh. Maybe trained too much. Haha.

Then I entered JC. Thought it's all over, how nice. Nightmare came when the Cross-Country coach looked for me in PA system, came to encourage me to join his team during my breaktime, every now and then appear to persuade me. WHY?!?!!! Booo.. But eh, I didnt join, because I dont remember myself in school. Wahahahaha. The only sport I did was probably swimming in the evenings for 3hours and badminton.

Then I continued my runnings after I completed school. Just opposite my flat there is a park. I ran there regularly at 10pm back then. And that's it. LOL. Oh, I still hangout at Gym on Sundays then.

Slowly I took up diving, but I never considered diving as a sport though. Wakeboarding, windsurfing and sailing came too. Probably these explain my dark skin colour?

After done soooo much sports (not exactly willingly but..) I was diagnosed with some bones problem. No more land sports EVER. I was advised to walk less, and dont do land sports. Not even badminton, tennis, running, etc. I can only do watersports. Oh man...

Ironic.

After done so much land sports more than half of my life, seriously I only enjoy doing watersports. LOL.

So, I am sporting but not sporty lar... Hahahhahaha.. I dread torturing myself.
