ugh sleepy sleepy. haha im so lousy. after having not played soccer in months, then i went for SMU's handball clinic just now and am now tirrrrrrrrrrred. i was surprised by the turn-out: there were some 10+ guys and 6 girls i believe.

handball as a sport isnt bad, you gotta keep running up and down like street soccer. but the thing is when dribbling (basketball style) is allowed, you see much less of the ball in each play. or maybe that's just at our novice level. i mean in soccer you're bound to be involved in almost every play cos well it's just damn hard to solo all the way. so you kinda end up making many runs to draw players away which is fairly tiring.

i started out on the flanks (haha still in street soccer mode, playing winger) but inadvertently established myself at goalie cos it seemed like 1) the others were fitter to run up and down 2) nobody else was doing a proper job of keeping the goal! well considering im not too shabby a street soccer goalie, i gave it a go. as it turned out, it wasnt too different! haha so it was quite fun playing as goalie for me.

oh yes apart from josh, also met kamil and joshua leong there. and they're both going to floorball next week as well, but too bad on diff days.
