Invincible!!!!

11/9-28/9

IMU cup had started…I am lucky to get to enter many sports…

My first event was swimming…Should i say a rather confident one and one of the sports that i enjoyed most… Altho the training was not quite organised, we were still quite disciplined in doing our own training right, Jackie?haha.. U should know wat am i talking about lah…The competition day was on 16/9 which is right after our respi exam.  The first event on that day was Men’s 50m freestyle relay, cheers to jackie, alvin, joseph and jack.They won gold…yoohoo!!!Next up was women’s 50m breaststroke relay and we won too..cheers to jasyln, yun, florence and I…Yoohoo!! again..haha..and i guess the events coming after that were not at our advantage.. we got 2nd in mixed medley relay which was like lost to sem1 about half the pool..and me and jackie got really really tired before we still gotta go for individuals event…Jackie and jack got 3rd in their individuals events and Zoe and I didn’t get any..No stamina and no skills…haizzz…quite a depressing individual event for me…But cheers to those who won…Sem1 got overall champion and we got second. Are we born to be second in swimming?2 years consecutively already…

After the swimming competition, I still have 2 hours to rest before i go for my squash competition at 7.30pm. As soon as i reached the squash court and after knowing that we have to play against sem4 and 5, I asked for uwen’s car key to go back but to no avail..haha….the competition started and i have to play against Jonitha.Haha… I ate "2 eggs"!!!Thanks to my supporters who still cheered for me wholeheartedly…I must say i felt quite embarassed at that time but I feel happy for not feeling defeated..It’s quite ironical right?I don feel defeated cos i tried my best d and i just cant return her serve…next up, we played against sem5 and i won my game.Wow for myself…I can give ppl "eggs" too….Miracle…ok…but then we lost…with pride and with no ill-feelings against each other…happy altho lost…went out for dinner and went home sleep…

Next up would be basketball..which was narrated in quite detail in my last post…

Lastly, would be track&field..I will be running and jumping too…wait for the event to come which will be held on  24/9 which is tomorrow and I’ll update here and make a little summary on the whole imu cup 2006..

*whistle sound*

Pharmacy players and students went jumping all around…That ends my first
ever basketball competition in my life…We lost to Pharmacy in the 3rd-4th placing
finals…..

                        
**********************************************************
Basketball…a sport that i like very much since donno when…altho i like it
but i never had a chance to excel in it and enter a team for competition..1
year  ago i entered imu and made up my mind to learn to play basketball
properly. During sem 1, I got to know cheemz who is a basketball lover too. I
played with her and friends in the imu court which had now turned into a
construction site. Ok…I had been known as the "freestyler chiazzz"
since then.. Not because i’m very good at it. It’s just because i got no proper
skills at all but i can still steal the ball from others and score it if i’m
lucky that day…(sad….o.O)haha…nvm..At the beginning of sem2, Cheemz was
finding ppl to play for our sem for IMU Cup..I was one of them..so happy wei…altho
i know i’m not good enough for competition but i still told myself i will do my
best and the others i just let the team captain to decide.If the team really
needs me, I would always be there even cheering at the side….So, I started to
go for training..In bukit jalil golf and country club..I guess practice makes
perfect and at last I’m in M205 female basketball team.

At the beginning of sem3, I must say that we tried our best to get everyone
in the team to train together. We are lucky to have Soo Peng "the MVP star
player", Ivy "the hyperactive gal", Cheemz "the invincible
centre" and hwee hong "the great defender" in our team. We all
believed in the more we practice the better we wil be. So, I can say that we
were all very obedient whenever cheemz asked us to go for training. I can still
remember there were times when we got to go to Puchong to train, sometimes even
until 10pm or 11pm.

The competition finally came. The female basketball competition had not been
very lucky as we had postponed it several times because of rain. Finally, the
day had been set which was 22/9 (a friday night). Cheemz had assured us that we
are in our top form to perform and asked us to rest well for the competition.

The competition day….
We gathered in front of IMU at 6pm…or rather 6.30pm?haha…those involve
should know wat i mean…and Soo peng sent us to the competition venue..Routine
warm-up had been done and we waited for the organiser to annouce the
competition to start.

Our first game is against Pharmacy. It went on great and we won 4-2. We were
so happy but we were never overconfident as we still got to beat sem2 in order
to enter semifinals. After sem2 played against pharmacy, we got to play with
sem2.Miraculously, we won sem 2 too…this time the score is 10-1..haha…so
happy.But, up next is against sem5 in semifinals..and we knew that all the sem
5 players are all taller than us.So it would be like 3 giants against 3
dwarves…I must say that, I was not very happy playing against sem5 because
they were very rough.. Ok..I know it’s basketball, but don’t push ppl until
foul out lah…in the end, we lost 3-1.. Cheemz got a little bit worked up at
that time…

Next up, we have to fight with pharmacy again to determine who’s the
bronze…I must say that i enjoyed playing with pharmacy as they are skillful
and gentleman..Fiona, Voon Yuan and Swee ling (Hope i din get

ur

name wrong)*salute*…Altho we lost 4-2 to
u all. But i really enjoyed the game…

That ends my first ever basketball competition in my life…A competition
which have a mixture of  happiness, worries, anger, frustrations  and
a lot more. We won with pride first and we lost with pride then. We seldom foul
and we never play dirty…I love my team….Altho the night after the
competition was quite unbearable as it was hard to accept that we actually lost
cause we really trained quite hard I must say.Ok….Maybe the other teams
trained even harder or they are just talented in basketball and we aren’t or
rather i ain’t….

I think i need sleep  and i felt sick, and muscle ache…..
But, I must say that I love M205 female basketball team and I am proud to be
one of them…Cheemz, Soo peng, Ivy and Hwee Hong….Cheers!!!!

*P/S* Thanks to all the supporters who came to support us…
