of floorball and more

wheeee i've finally gotten to play a proper floorball match with the block peeps!

have always hoped to do that before i graduate... cos if u really think bout it, there's no chance to play stuff like hockey or floorball again when we're all outta hall/school. these stuff r not like soccer whereby u just need to bring a ball, get some peeps n find an empty piece of grass, or erm court somewhere. and i've always had a liking for hockey n floorball... seriously fun stuff... no sports talent in me, i admit, but hey it doesn't mean i can't just play for the fun of it all and whack some balls... and no one's stopping me no matter how lousy i am. heheh.

anyway, my body's suffering from the grueling 3hr straight session, in terms of severe backache (the entire night i was playing the bended hockey style, which is so wrong in floorball, but being a novice i dunno how to switch over yet) n overall bodyache haha. tho it's pretty fun, i must say that playing with a bunch of young, hot-blooded freshies, who r mostly guys, many of whom r in the ivp team, had really taken a toll on my old lazy bones. hehehe.

and i can't believe i scored 2 goals!! hahahhaa for the life of me. but i gotta say, those were really taiko.. tsk tsk. still, i'm happy!! okie anyway, it's not how good the game turned out in terms of scores, playing skills and all that, but really, wat mattered was all the bonding and pure ol' fun and laughter. and we had a great supper after that.

this brought me into a melancholic state. becos, there's so much of hall that i love about.

stuff that in ur life u'll never ever get to experience if not for hall. stuff like pple playing sports n games in the middle of the night, suppering in the whee hours of the night (2am anyone?), pple shouting from block to block at each other, ponding and raiding sessions, worksessions till maybe morning (yes even worksessions!), playing pranks, popping into pple's rooms anytime of the day, bday surprises like decorating a person's room secretly, cooking meals together, playing games/watching movies/soccer in each other's rooms or lounge, n just knowing like almost everyone in hall (yr 1 or 2 days).... it just feels like living in a huge community, a huge home sometimes.

non-hostelites call us crazy. they think we're mad to sacrifice so much time... they say they'll never ever wanna stay in a hall becos they've heard of so many crazy stories bout pple staying up so late at night, having so many obligations, not being able to study. hmm.. but i say, that's becos they've never stayed in a hall before, and thus of cos they may not know wat they're missing out.

yea there r surely times when each of us have felt so busy with so many things going on... there r times when there r politics n disappointments, just like anywhere else. there r times when i felt i couldn't study, but actually i think i've never juggled between play and studies better in my life before, and i dun think i'm compromising my studies in the least bit. and dun tell me any of u regretted any moment of hall. i didnt. joys and sorrows, i think i've experienced alot in 4 years. i'll never cease to believe that it has given me one hell of a ride. good and bad (good alot more la), i think hall's still really vibrant and will always be one of the best memories of schooling years..

dun get me wrong, i'm sure hall's not the only place to have fun and all. i'm merely saying it's a different kind of experience. not more, not less, just different. just things u'd not normally imagine u'd do... hehe :)

oh well. anyway. the 4 years are coming to a close. another chapter of my life. it's all ending before i know it. and in all honesty, i'm not sure if i can let go just yet. heh silly me. i can rem last yr when my friends moved out.. their rooms were all empty and i felt totally lost. they were just like empty shells, no longer with my friends' stuff, the usual familiar things that we've seen for 3 years. yea till now i can rem how each of their rooms look like. and how i wish they're still there in their rooms, instead of their rooms being totally different now, used by new occupants..

haha i think i'm just being the nostalgic self each time the school year closes. just that this time it's a heavier dose cos i'm leaving here, and school for life. going through alot of turmoil yea.

life's crossroads. sigh.

i'll be fine soon :P
