Was reading ada’s blog post when I realised…
I’ve got no MSTs this sem!! =D
Hurrah!
..
Of our lives
Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we´re young
And keep the faith
Everyday
From right now
Gonna use our voices and scream out loud
Take my hand
Together we will celebrate, celebrate
Oh, everyday
Missing
Its funny. Something I’ve been missing all this while since I left Victoria just hit me on the bus ride back today.
I really miss the head-on, 1 on 1 competition against another human being that I used to enjoy back then as a member of the VS Badminton Team. If you’ve ever participated, for an extended period of time, in any (1 on 1) competitive sport, I’m sure you’ll appreciate that surreal feeling that only those type of competitions bring about.
Truly Surreal. For the entire duration of the match, its just you, the instruments of play, and your opponent. For me it was my racket, the shuttlecock, and the guy (or girl when the TKGS team came over for friendlies) in the opposite court. Nothing else mattered.
Not my homework (believe me I always had a LONG list of backlogged homework in my secondary school days).
Not the VS cheers echoing throughout the hall.
Not even the fact that I had to skip lessons and fall behind (even more).
Not the fact that my coach would probably have skinned me alive if I lost.
Nothing else but going all out, performing to your best, and then giving it some more. Don’t know if I’ll ever experience that sensation again, but damn it was good while it lasted.
A game of badminton anyone?
