Volleyball! Weeee~

Weeeeeeeee~! I gave a loud squek yesterday around 1am when my team captain told me he put me in the team for a volleyball match today. I was excited! That fella ah...made me brood about it coz he is always so busy to finish his sentence properly & so steady to think that as if i know what he is trying to say. He didn't really mention it clearly so i thought he chosed another girl to play instead. I don't plan to wake up early so its better i ask him clearly if not i will be really terrified when a phone call at 7.25am shock the hell outta me. So i asked him at midnight yesterday to ask & he told me i must go if not they don't have to play already coz its a mixed team. +_+ Luckily i asked if not i will get a wake up shock.

We competed in a mixed team category where im the only girl among the guys. The opponent team also represented 1 female. During secondary schooling time, i only played with girls which were my school teammates. When i started playing again during Foundation in uni, i mixed with older peers & most of them are guys. It was actually more challenging & fun! I challenged myself to play like them & adapt to their speed & receive their stronger spiking attacks. The sense of satisfaction i got when i get to receive their powerful spiking attacks & serves are great! Sometimes they will also not give face to me & will give me a run for my money. I love the adrenalin playing volleyball with male players & i improve better than last time.


I had to be at the North Lobby of my uni at 7.30am today. I woke up at 6.30am & i did not laze! I was so scared i will wake up late & miss the bus to Utar PJ Campus. Yeap...the competition was held at Utar PJ Campus so the university's shuttle bus fetched all the representatives there. WoOhOo~ We have the special privilege today to sit the bus without paying. Haha...i don't sit the bus now since i started degree at Sg Long campus coz i stay nearby to uni & i walk to uni
everyday.

Good Morning! The skies are always so misty early in the morning & surrounded by chilly fresh air... :)


Morning makes me Happy & is the best serenity moment... :)


I left home at 7.20am & walked to uni. The bus & my chaffeur was already there waiting for me. Haha...


Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman


We reached Utar PJ Campus around 8.30am. Basketball match started first so we went to have breakfast. Our match started at around 11am. Whoaaa...i saw this guy who is quite big size & has a lot of strength when i saw him spike the ball. I thought he is not from Utar but zha dou.....he is my teammate! But i never see him before coz he is frm the ICT Utar campus. We formed a team from various Utar campuses & faculty to compete in the competition.


I did warm-up to get things started but i have a lil muscle strain on my thigh after all the extreme Pilates on Friday. I was worried i will really pull a ligament when i got into the match. I tried to be careful & luckily nothing worse happen. The guys will do the attacking & me... the only gal...i am free to do what i want. AHAHA~ No la... Of coz i played covering & defence since my attacking can't be compared with them...


DIG, SET, SPIKE... We played 4 sets & won 3 sets so Utar won. It was great sweating it out again & have fun! I like the feeling of extreme sports coz i feel fit & energetic after sports. There were also other sports which were basketball, table tennis, badminton, bowling & etc.

Yerrr... i felt like playing badminton since there's a court there. I get so excited when there's badminton for me to play or watch! I just love badminton! Haha...When there's a major international tournament going on, i used to be a couch potato at home. I really miss the time spent with my previous foundation friends where we will frequently go to this sports complex to play on Tuesday & Thursday. Its our weekly routine. It was great playing sports with a bunch of friends. I also joined the guys to play basketball but Basketball not fun laaa..

I prefer Badminton! I love badminton a lot! I use to play frequently with Tyson... my ex-coursemate during Foundation who was my mixed doubles partner. MAN................! I really miss those times playing with him & he really taught me many things. Tyson....Tyson......Sighhh~ Its ok....I will go for badminton more often now since there's a court a lil further from here. Now im exercising everyday & Pilates keeps me going. Yayyy!


Gear up...into the court

Get Ready!


Serve the ball...Overhead serve (this is the budak in my team that i never see before...haha)

Jump serve! Powerrrrr!

Beware of tricky tactics

I had a great Saturday! If only i can play volleyball more often just like during Foundation & that would be splendid! Weeeeeee~ After this competition there is another major one coming up which is the Private University Volleyball Tournament. For that we'll be forming girls & guys team. WoOhOo!~ Next week we'll be going to the sports complex for training again! Yippieeee~ Im really looking forward to get back in good shape & regain back my skills. I enjoyed those tiring tough trainings i endured during secondary school to gear up for tournaments. Though training was very bitterly tough but Victory was Sweet! Oh ya! I can also play badminton there! Weeeeee~ Lalalalala~ Every Wednesday is our Committee Club Day so we will follow the Utar shuttle bus to PJ sports complex...Excited! More updates soon. :)
