i know it's a little late but i shall still blog a little bout the street netball competition since it's such a major thing for the netballers! :D
as most of you guys should alre know, RED BOTTLES GOT CHAMPS while the juniors or i should say MINI RED BOTTLES GOT 2ND!!!
i'm $50 richer now cuz of this competition (:
so on the first day(21/06/2009,sat), we were up against riverside, woodlands ring, bukit batok and jurong west.
however,jurong west did not come,making it a walkover for us.
first game was with bukit batok.
i was nervous like shit for that first game!
c'mon lah,first official game after so long!
so i think my play was average only for that game.
honestly,i felt kinda lost for that game too.
partly,maybe cuz jocelyn wasnt playing alongside with me.
we won bb but i didnt take not of the score.
next was up against woodlands ring.
i think we did underestimate them initially.
which caused us to lose by so many goals for the first 5 mins of the game.
but we managed to catch up alot during the next 5 mins of the game.
we still lost by 1 goal but i really liked our play for that last 5 mins cuz we were fighting so hard just to close up the gap.
i think woodlands ring only scored 1 goal while we scored around 4 or 5 goals for that few mins.
finally,we played with riverside for the last game of the day.
kinda intimidated initially cuz they had a guy.
but we managed to overcome that and we really did fight and give our best and we won that game!
there was this moment during the riverside game where a girl threw the ball at my leg.
i dunno why but i got quite pissed cuz i guess it wasnt her first time doing it.
so i just looked up and gave those kind of super fierce stares at her!
hahas!i think it's the first time the netballers saw me so fierce!!
juniors also did well that day.
they only lost to jwss,which i felt was a total waste.
but i guess they were nervous or something too.
went for dinner with yuting,jocelyn and ginny at lot1 after that.
we chatted damn long bout strategies and crapped too till close to 9pm i think!

the next day,we had to play with tanglin,woodgrove and JUNIORS!
tanglin was okay.
nothing significant happened i guess.
now for the crucial match with woodgrove!
at the very same time,the juniors were up against outram sec so we couldnt support each other.
but both our teams wanted to win badly as winning this games will ensure that we'll fight for the top 2 places together.
so at halftime,we were losing to woodgrove by 1.
i looked over to juniors and by lyndi's expression,it wasnt really that good over at their side too.
the juniors were also losing by 1 to outram.
at the end of the game,we tied with woodgrove.
juniors also tied with outram!hahas!
so the person i/c said we'll continue playing and the first team to reach 3 goals will win.
so we won woodgrove with 3-0 in the end.
i felt they got jittery during this period of time,allowing us to score all 3 goals.
juniors also won outram with 3-0.
hahas!our semifianls game super similar right!! :D
and this comes the part i love love love the most!!
juniors' game ended first so they came over to our court smiling like crazy.
then they found out that we won and both our teams STARTED SCREAMING LIKE LITTLE GIRLS!!!
you'd have to be there to see how happy and crazy we were!
we even forgot to shake hands with woodgrove cuz we were too caught up screaming.
well the screaming didnt last too long cuz we went separate ways after that to discuss strategies.
lols!it's super funny!
like one second we're cheering together,the next we're walking off in different directions.
we planned our strategies till so detailed i tell you!
cuz it's normal to get scared since the juniors have been training consistently while we've alre stepped down etc.
even msong said we'll lose to juniors can.
one of our strategies was to be fierce during the game.lols!
i managed to do it!!
hahas!3 claps for me please cuz i really cant be serious in front of our joker juniors!
juniors said they werent nervous but somehow i thought they were nervous while playing with us.
cuz i seriously felt they shouldnt have let us score so much against them.
though after halftime their play got better,they kinda lost it again when yuting intercepted their ball.
so overall, we won the juniors 9-1.
the juniors better get champs next year since we wont be joining the competition alre.
even if we do,it wont be in the same category.
so we went to take team photos after the whole thing (see it yourself at any netballers' blog or the netball blog itself)
i forgot we were gonna take photos together after the competition so i went to get a henna drawing for myself.
so itchy hand right!
in the end the henna looked so out of place in all the photos!
i even caused the henna to smudge on hand of the person who was giving us the medals.hahas!
oh and qiaowei's team also got first for the tertiary category (:
had lunch at carls jr after that ar marina square.
when i didnt buy a burger,i told the rest that i wasnt hungry when i actually was.
the reason was,carls jr isnt halal but i didnt want to be a spoil sport so i just bought the fries and drink.
luckily the fries itself was super filling,i'm not lying!
drank damn lots of zappel too cuz i was really thirsty.
i wanted to walk around marina square actually but we went home instead cuz everyone was feeling rather shagged alre plus we needed to celebrate father's day.

i didnt go home though.
i zoomed off to changi airport to meet my family and relatives.
however,i couldnt really enjoy myself cuz i got diarrhoea halfway thru.
and it was really really bad.
like damn wattery..like those plop plop plop kinda shit!hahas!okay sorry for being disgusting!
and i couldnt figure out what caused the diarrhoea cuz i only cornflakes for breakfast that day plus the fries at carls jr.
in the end i thought that drinking too much zappel must've caused it.
maybe too gassy etc.
from changi airport,we then went to marine parade to actually bowl.
but the bowling centre actually closed early that day!!
a wasted trip ):
so we just slacked around at macs and went off around 6plus am.
i reached home only close to 8am in the morning.
phew,such a tiring weekend right!

but overall,i really injoyed the street netball competition to bits!
and i felt super relieved my hots were quite on form for the games :D
despite the extremely hot and scorching weather,i still loved these 2 days!
luckily it was rather windy at times to make up for the heat!
plus,i got sunburnt after so long!!
so you can guess how hot the weather was since i'm so dark but i still got burnt!
and it's been ages since we won something together.
so i wanna thank everyone who supported us thru it!
thanks yuting for intercepting countless of balls.
thanks jocelyn for throwing nice lobs to me and assisting me on court.
thanks melissa for being noisy on court. (lols.inside joke!)
thanks ginny for being so focused on getting the rebounds that you forget to look at the other shooter who's shooting. (lols.another inside joke!)
thanks bjorn for taking our photos.
thanks to qiaowei+others, ESPECIALLY THE JUNIORS who kept encouraging us throughout and telling us not to give up etc.
so to end off this post, I LOVE THE RED BOTTLES and also OUR LOVELY JUNIORS!! :D
KRANJI NETBALL CAN MAKE IT CUZ WE'RE A BUNCH OF COMMITTED AND PASSIONATE NETBALLERS WHO HAVE A COMMON GOAL IN OUR MIND!!! :D :D
