After close to 3 months of not playing rugby, I've finally decided to show up for the training tonight. It was no Padang. The view was all too crappy; we were in Little India after all. Who ever thought of building a clubhouse which doesn't even have a decent parking spot? Traffic was horrendously ridiculous as well. But the chance upon a familiar face before that makes the smashing through peak hour traffic all too insignificant. Plus, it was high time that I showed the young boys a thing or two about rugby. Despite smoking as much as a pack a day, i was still able to zip pass everyone at 100 miles per hour! Who would have thought? Haha

The thing about rugby is that it is the only thing that has been going on for me for over 10 years. When i first picked up the sport in Sec 1, I didn't actually imagine myself playing till this very day. Most of those who started out with me has since stopped playing for one reason or another. Even after dislocating both shoulders, hairline fractures in a lot of places, a mild concussion, ankles which cannot sprain anymore since they've been sprained and twisted so many times before plus having my foot smashed in by own teammate in the last season, I guess I'm still going strong with it.

Well, it's not like I'm some superstar of tha game or something. Well, I'd actually tell
my coaches that I'm THE supersub should I get bench. Twice when I was benched, I scored tries and actually turn the tide of the game. Yea, I
know I'm just plainly gloating righ now. Well, rubbing your own ego every now and then doesn't harm anyone does it?

My friends have always asked me this question, "why do you still keep playing?". Moat of the time, I would just tell them that it is the first love of my life. Until somebody comes along, that shall continue to be at the top of the list. Yes, I do realize that it COULD be detrimental to me, right now, it's one of those things that keeps me going. With the things that has been happening over the past few months, rugby sure did help alot. Having a limit anger meant that I had all the strength I needed. Never had I tackled like how I did in the last season. Well, let's just say I kinda plan to keep things that way for now.

Well, those happenings seemed to have affected my grades as well. Now, I have to work doubly hard just so that I can hopefully graduate as one of those few in class. I can only pray (:
