It is a freaking long walk from Potong Pasir Station. And even in SAV itself, we had to pass by SAJS, SAS, cross the bridge before I can see girls. I think once you are late for school, thats it. Don't bother to run from the bus stop upon hearing the elephant walk (is there still elephant walk in the first place?)
People asked how is the place. One word - COLD. There isn't any cosiness and warmth we missed at Malan Road. Sad. I miss the Malan Road Cafe. Only thing is that the Netball court is better than the stupid red court or the one where we feed mosquitoes. They have better and more poles too!
The match turned out pretty well. Haha. I mean, we old girls, played alot better than I expected. Myself, included. *chuckles* I was quite (maybe I should just use VERY) happy with my performance yesterday. I missed the kind of euphoria I get when I make a nice interception. 10mins X 2 quads and I felt it several times. Although I pant like mad just playing GK. Hoho.
I knocked Tricia down and she landed with her 4 limbs facing the sky. It was a very bad contact. Haha. Apologised like mad. Afterall I didn't want to injure my juniors just before their season. And because of that, I didn't dare to go near Atalia when she came in the second quad. My god. If I knock her down like that, I think Mr Bok, Ms Chua and everybody else will come after me with a dagger.
I love watching Ade, Char and Siting making the attack from the other end of the court. Its a very good view of a very good scene. This is the feeling I miss. The feeling of working the ball for them and seeing them work it out well. The feeling of achieving something. And this is what I didn't and can't get from Extremes.
Mr Bok asked me again if I really don't want to continue playing. For a second, I almost reconsidered the option that is still left open for me for so long. Due to the very good feeling I had. I am grateful that they did not shut the door on me but I know Extremes cannot give me what I want out of it. And I have learnt that I cannot perform under that kind of pressure. It made me think back of the major games I played in and I could draw parallels. (B girls finals, nat squad selections, crucial AC match where I had to play GA, and of course the most heart wreching RJ match and under Extremes) Whenever I told myself I had to perform, I had to play well, I failed.
Hence, the conclusion is that, Extremes ain't for me. Or maybe I am not there for it. I still love Netball but I only want to play on a leisure basis. And I really love playing with those lot of people I played with yesterday. Whee! Lets go back again and bring some warmth to SAV soon!
That aside, I didn't ache as much as I expected myself to this morning. But my legs really did felt like they were going to break last night. Haha. But still, didn't ache as much doesn't mean didn't ache at all. Haha.
HIPS met up this morning. Suposedly 11am. I deliberately let my alarm snooze and be late. Arrived at 1125 and only Ivan was there. Those 2 people who made us change the time weren't there yet. I was rather pissed and I showed them face for awhile. But well, today we broke a record. We were damn fast in deciding where to eat and what to do after that. Cool huh? Good improvement. Next aim: BE ON TIME!
