sportsday moby 2006-1
sportsday moby 2006-1 started at 8am on a sunday morning...moby woke up and found another man in his room...but before he had a chance to dial 999, he realised that he had asked bestfrentugk to stay over the night before...they were supposed to go to nus together to kick off sportsday moby 2006-1.
first event: handball (raffles hall vs. raffles hall alumni)
time: 0900hrs
venue: nus handball court 1
unfortunately, the organiser for this event was still sleeping when moby first contacted him at 0830hrs, and only picked up the second call at 0845hrs...reassuring moby that handball was definitely still on. a few minutes later, on the way to nus already, moby receives this sms: "really sorry for the late notice, but handball has been cancelled cuz they don't have a court". well done. moby, the person who normally doesn't even wake up at 8am on a working day, was royally pissed, but still went along with bestfrentugk, who was going to play tennis with a certain premkumar.
(note: when they reached nus, they saw why the handball courts were unavailable...it was an international hard-court football match between team-chinaman-shanghai-beijing-shenzhen and team vietnam. the level of play was so fabulously spectacular that bestfrentugk and moby decided to give it a skip.)
second event: tennis (bestfrentugk vs. premkumar)
time: 1000hrs
venue: nus tennis court 23
bestfrentugk has always refused to play tennis with moby cuz he thinks that moby is the lousiest racquet sport player in the world...which is probably true...but he can still stroke a few balls quite alright...hahaha. anyway, the match between bestfrentugk and premkumar was, as expected, a letdown...with premkumar double faulting 4 times in a row to lose the first game, and bestfrentugk kept blaming his racquet for his inefficiencies while losing the other 4 games. there were a few moments of "ok, not bad" and "hmmm...nice shot", but they were too far and in between. and then, to make things worse, bestfrentugk and premkumar (having not booked the courts), got chased out by three amateur beginners, who were only playing with one ball, after about 30 minutes on the court. what an insult to the duo, both of whom were former nus number twos. oh well, life sucks...better luck next time.
third event: sepak takraw (moby, bestfrentugk, peter vs. premkumar, david, keng joo)
time: 1100hrs
venue: raffles hall takraw court
finally, moby could participate in sportsday moby 2006-1. the game started out with team premkumar cheating like the cheaterbug bastard that he is...making up line calls, catching the balls before they land, etc etc...but team moby came through and beat team premkumar comprehensively. haha. take that prem. muahahaha. two hours later, and after almost tearing his hamstring while attempting all shorts of flying kills and lipats, moby eventually realised that he was getting too old, too inelastic, and too tired for any more takraw, so he decided to save his strength for the final event of the day...
final event: hard-court football (moby, bestfrentugk, charpin, charpin friend 1, charpin friend 2 vs. charpin's friends 3-12)
time: 1600hrs
venue: maris stella high school
after drowning himself in isotonic fluids following the previous sporting events, moby headed down to maris stella with charpin and gang. already quite tired from sepak takraw, sky and bestfrentugk were definitely not at their best during the 3-team-loser-out matches, so their team lost 5 games in a row before becoming the staying team. by that time, moby had cramps in his calves, thighs and even toes...on BOTH legs. that's when he decided that the overdose of exercise wasn't going to be much fun if he continued any longer...and he DID want to do this sportsday moby 2006 thing again...sometime in the near future...so thus ended sportsday moby 2006-1.
(p.s. - i have a bad feeling about work tomorrow...i hope i can make it to my desk without crutches. ouch.)

hello?! crutches a bit kua zhang!
i guess u must have forgotten then warm up routine....
Looks like you're cramming 1 whole week of sports into 1 single day! Better save some energy for your Cambodia trip hor! You won't want to hobble hobble right?
雨...thanks for your concern...i had to literally crawl out of bed today...but i made it to my desk without any aid. but i almost couldn't make it out of my chair after that...haha. =)
furfur...not kua zhang at all...the way i'm feeling now...can't move without some body part aching...and yes, i didn't exactly warm up or down...i figured that the weather was so hot that it would take care of that...haha. silly me. =)
ting...yes, i realise that...in fact, it's actually 2 weeks of sports if you count properly from the start of the new year till yesterday...argh. and no, i'm definitely not going to hobble when i'm in cambodia...no more exertion on my body until i climb the steps of angkor wat or something...haha. =)
