it's a beginning..

it may sound silly.. dun laugh..
but ever since i incidentally caught the volleyball olympics on tv..
i just had a dying desire to play vball.. to someday wear a vball jersey w those mizuno knee pads and play in the court some real game..

i decided to be a little proactive and take some action.
i looked through all the mails regarding sports.. and only managed to find the vball club email add which was from an email dated more than a yr ago. other then that.. vball never appeared anywhere else.. no ivp.. no sunig.. no aug.. no recruitment.. nth!

i checked my mail often.. no reply..
i waited till student week finally arrived and was glad to find that vball had a booth set up..
i registered myself in.. luckily i did that.. cuz they soon disappeared from the booth and failed to be there on the 2nd day..

again i checked my mail often.. no signs from the club..
till one day..

but it was disappointing..
they were only looking for competitive players w experience.. and that there was not going to be a recreational club..

i was super bu gan xin..
it was like my flame was extinguished even before it was allowed to be lighted!

still.. i decided to hou zhe lian pi and go down for their "trg" day..
really have to thank ed for accompanying me there cuz i was afraid to go alone..
expecting the vballers to be bitchy and all..

well.. i've only got a gd impression on 1 senior.. some others seemed cold, zhuai, unfriendly..
others looked less dao.. but they didn't really try to interact much either..

as for the new comers.. there were only 5 of us.. out of which 2 already knew how to play..
1 was ok.. but considered noob like me and the 5th..

so basically real noobs only got me and 1 other girl.. and what do u noe..
she was there too cuz of similar olympic-inspired dream!!

passion for sth can really make one go out of one's comfort zone to do strange stuff...

i'm really glad i had that 1 day chance to see n exp vball trg..
although i was only allowed to do real basic steps like just digging the ball to myself..

i dun mind.. seriously.. juz let me go back! i'd do whatever.. i just wanna stay!

the captain hasn't really said anything about us being able to go back or not.. and the coach was like saying there's no recreational club.. but he'll discuss with the captain..(maybe he doesn't know that the cap had previously sent emails about no recre club)

i shouldnt keep my hopes high.. nor expect anything.. but i'm just hoping for the best! =)
