nostalgic.yesterday i played for the seconds against royal holloway at Egham (which isn't even in London!). anyway, it was a semis for the ULU cup. so an important much indeed. thing is the umpire was fucked up and caused our game where we lost
marginally (i really mean marginally)
25-26. funny thing is we were actually up by 2 goals at the last 2 mins in the last quarter, and somehow they managed to snatch the game away from us cos the umpire was fucked up. she kept picking on me for whatever reason i do not know. she kept fouling me which is totally ridiculous! somemore at the weirdest and most crucial place. it's horrible that i blew up at her after the match. couldn't kept my cool anymore. sigh. :( well enough of it i'm not angry anymore. in fact i came out of the game feeling damn good. :)
honestly speaking, i would say that this is the best game i played so far ever since i stepped into london. the quality was good which made me wish that suzy had let me gone into the seconds sometimes. i mean i love the thirds, all very sweet girls and all especially becca hehe. :) but one thing i really don't like is their unseriousness in netball. everytime suzy demands for a training, we turn up and the training sucks! cos all they do is laugh and play around, talking about what they did over the weekend and what they did last night, announcing to the whole world about their sex lives.
omg! it's disgusting.
and surprisingly, i played the whole game as GA for 3 quarter and WA for 1 quarter HAHA!which i'm very shocked honestly. LOL. my stamina is like shit and i know last time i couldn't play GA cos i kept running into the wrong place. i mean you can't blame me right? hehe. i was afterall trained as a defender. and only when i came here did i decide to take up being a shooter. no proper training or whatsoever to learn the skills, but just by observing mostly at the first team. wahaha. :P and i'm proud of myself yesterday, as i think i saw myself grow as a shooter during the past year.
i never had confident in playing GA, so i always requested to play GS. but somehow the captains always put me as GA and as much as i hate it and don't want to play, i had to. and yesterday made me realised that i can do it. that i should have more confident in myself. show to all these brits what singapore netballers are made of. :D and we are darn good ok? hehe. :D i mean you look around at all the netballers here. all angmohs, thin and slim and have a pretty face. it's so typical. when can you see a asian girl playing in one of the top teams. honestly, i've never seen ever since i started playing in GKT.
i know this has gotten a little long but pardon me. hehe. i haven't blogged in a long time you know! haha. :Pwell the main point i want to say is that
i miss playing top-class netball so so much. yesterday's match just reminded me so much of how last time in singapore, we played and fought our hearts out in every match. and all the things we went through as a team. it's been so long since i last played with a good team, with good teamwork, good skills against a good team. the quality and competition level was there. and
i miss it. i miss my teammates back home. i really hope to be able to play with a good team again, where pple take things seriously.
i was looking at friendster and came across my seniors page. her first picture was a picture of her NTU team. they are champions. :) congrats! and i saw
jiao lian in the picture. though he never technically was my coach, he did come down once in a while to help us out. and he is a damn good coach seriously. so far all the teams he coached, come out as champions making hcjc 15 years in a row champions. it's incredible. i always respected him and have always dreamed of playing under him. but never got to as i left for the UK. i was rather dishearted as i knew he wasnted to pick me, hongxi and zhimian to play for him. but in the end only hongxi could go as zhimian was injured and i had to go. it was an honour indeed. :)
i was looking at the NTU picture and i recongnised a few faces. some were my seniors, some were my dear opponents, some were my ex-primary school teammates, and one of them was my teammate, charlotte. :) so nostalgic that i wished i was part of it. then the next picture was a picture of their opponent, NUS with them. and again i saw so many familiar faces. so many of my seniors in there. i really miss
nanyang netball. wished i was part of it again.
you know i was looking at the picture and what really made me quite sad was that, it made me realised that there aren't many of my teammates playing netball anymore. i'm glad to see that charlotte is still playing, with a top team. and i know hongxi too. but there were so many other good players in my team that just stopped playing. mostly due to injuries which is so sad. and i think of all the teams i've seen so far in nanyang, ours seem to have become the worse. not much of continue playing the love, and we have lost so much contacts with each other. just lost it.
all gone. i don't know how zhimian, minwei, doreen, i-lynn, huiqing, jitsy all are dong. i do not know at all. but do hope they are doing well. only pple i still keep in close contact are angeline, hongxi and yushan. charlotte too. :)
sigh this is getting far too long. think i should stop already. if anyone managed to read until year,
respect for you. hehe. i mean well i know people don't even read this anymore. it's more of me to "pen" down my thoughts. and as much as i want to say i've lost the passion of playing netball, i think it's untrue. think i still love it, just want to play with my dearest teammates again. though i must say my defending skills are like shit now probably. HAHA.
well thanks for accompanying me blog. :) i love nanyang netball. :D it was always in my heart, and will always be.
