The Day I PlayEd RugBy

8.05 a.m.......... Sunday, the phone rang.. Who with a bright mind would call at 8 am on Sunday morning?????
Darn, the phone's far. I left the phone on the desk the night before to be charged. Should have brought it nearer to the power point next to the bed (point to note).

I crawled outta bed... Damn it's cold (another point to note - ease on the airconditioner..) It was my wake up call asking me to get my butt to the VI field. It's Sunday lah brader..... Ayways, coz I had to crawl to the phone, that woke me up.. And since am up (and darn the calories I ate at cousin's wedding the night before) I decided to burn them off......

Sleepy headed me (much to mom's and dad's surprise - their lazy bum daughter who wouldnt wake up to have breakfast with them ever on Sunday morning) is up in gym clothes.... "where are you going?" they asked... err err i stammered and said "err errr jogging". Next question was "where?" and I replied " errrr VI". Damn I cannot lie! You see, my parents forbid me from playing football/futsal, they'd kill me if I they know I'm off on SUNDAY MORNING to play RUGBY! And who on earth would go to a school field in the middle of the city to jog??? Before am being bombarded with more questions i yelled "bye mom.. bye pa!!!" and zoomed off.........

When I got to the field, said hi to everyone, put on my spikes and pretended to tie the shoe lace. I only know one person, so shy me was very very very shy,,, *blush*. Then they called to get my butt in the field and they gave me instructions... yay I managed to pull off the other team's flag.. yay... but I suck at catching the ball! That ball is one slippery sucker...

Although the concept of the game is like rugby or American Football, it's really called Flag Football. I will google on this. This game is new to me, But it's quite nice to be playing outdoor in a field. It's a cool change from futsal. The last time I played in a field was ages ago... when was it ah??? Oh yes, Bar Games Ladies Soccer, Singapore year 2002... whoa... that was ages ago............

Conclusion - It was an eventful Sunday. It was refreshing... and to think that I've wasted most of Sunday mornings of my adult life in bed... that's really a waste (OK I might not have the same ideology or opinion cum next Sunday *grin*).

Hey - I actually updated my blog after soooo long................ woo hooo... I'm a changed person ;-))))))))))))))))))))))
