Absence of lessons today :D Sec 3s had what we know as, Games Day, where each and every student ( with the exception of those injured ) was an opportunity to play a part and indulge in class bonding. Would I say 3/6 became more bonded? Yes definately. Why?

Here's the reason, and a brief overview of the day. 4 sports, namely basketball, netball, captain's ball and badminton were picked for this year's Games day. As I was unfamiliar with the rules for the games save for captain's ball, that was my obvious option. Shermaine and Michele too chose that game. We joined the throng of people who were hooting their lungs out at the boundaries of the field (where we were playing) and waited for out turn. After 2 rounds of selection, I was picked as the goal keeper, the one who catches the ball for the team to score.

Honestly speaking, I was afraid for I never played this in primary sch after the unfortunate inccident of me falling off the chair (misfortune magnet, I know) . I finally decided to conquer my fears! Haha not exactly, because I was picked anyway, I couldnt really back out.

We were pitched against 3/5. On the score board it was written : 3/5 vs 3/6 . Oh man. That sends the shivers alright. And just 1 second ago, I was bitten by a red ant when I tried to prevent if from climbing into the keyboard =/ Where was I? Oh yes. The 3/5 players were good, I'd admit. But I didnt bargain for the way one of the team players, in a ditch effort to prevent me from catching the ball, shoved her fingers up my nose. I know, you don't have to say it. EWWW.
Needless to say, 3/5 won the game by a landslide. I was standing, slouched, after pathetically muttering, " go 3/6, go 3/6, go threeeeee/ sixxxxx, gooo threeeeeeeeee /sixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, go 3 ....,....." Thankfully, I can comfort myself with the fact that all of us were there to share the pain of defeat. I still caught all of the balls thrown at me anyway. Singaporean expression : Not bad la. xD

Since we lost the very 1st round (ouch) we neednt play for any more rounds. So what did we do? Sit at the canteen table, stoning, with Zenia, Shermaine and Michele. There were talking greek. No not literally. They were talking about stuff which I could only join in like, 1% D; I never fancied Taiwanese group bands anyway, but I still respect their love anyway :)

I dont have to say that we lost overall. And since I had no handphone, and not camera, Iam unable to capture this moment for posterity. D;
