Fuzzy Frisbee
So, last Saturday was the preliminaries for all the sports event for Emerge 2012! Personally, I am part of one of the event. I am one of the members of Team JOL for Fuzzy Frisbee! The day started out wonderful, the weather was awesome, not too hot. But on the other hand, it was quite cold too! I woke up at like 6.30am for like the first time in 7 months because there wasn't a need for me to do it the past 7 months. I had a hard time waking up, but made it out of the bed anyway! I got my uncle to fetch me to Sengkang Sports and Recreation Center and met the rest at MacDonalds. At that time, it was raining pretty heavily.. 
I was thinking "oh no, how to play in this weather.." but nevertheless, the weather didn't dampen my team and my mood, we were all so excited and ready for the game! :D The committee also sent out an SMS to all of the participants that the event will commence at a later time due to the rain, but thankfully the rain died down a little after that and it was possible for us to play in the small drizzle. All the teams for the sports events registered at their various location and were brought to their playing field. For the Frisbee players, we had to walk some distance to reach our playing ground. When we reach there, the kind of ground that we were on was the last one I want to play a game of Frisbee in. It was all wet, muddy and some tall grasses here and there, it was pretty gross and hard to run in! This was the first challenge of the day for me, to run on the uneven grass. But I tried my best anyway.
When we were all settled down, we were given a briefing about how the game will be played and how the whole competition will go that day and then we continued to retrieve our 'fuzzy goggles'. The whole point of the fuzzy goggles is for us to experience how it is like to be visually impaired, and therefore have a heart for them. Throughout this game, it was definitely hard especially when we have our goggles on or our spectacles taped and drawn. The goggles sometimes gets very foggy because of the difference in the body temperature and the rain outside. This makes it super hard to see everything! You get what I mean, right? (:
And so the games begun, for my team, we actually lost the 1st match, but since they are playing a league, we had to play against another team also. Honestly, 20 minutes of Frisbee is really very tiring. It is not as simple as most people who think it is just throwing and catching of the Frisbee. It is almost like a game of Captain's Ball except the fact that we use a disc instead of a ball. In the second round, JOL won (: However, unfortunately we didn't make it into the top 4. But that's alright, it's all about having fun! Though we didn't win, but the new friendship that I've made and the fellowship together is irreplaceable by anything in this world! It was really an awesome experience!
The training for this game is hard, definitely not easy or anything. Some of us injured ourselves, or like me, got hit by a Frisbee because we didn't catch the Frisbee on time. I will never forget once Kaiser threw a Frisbee and it was so fast that I didn't duck on time and it hit my ankle area, it sort of ended up with a blue black in less than 10 seconds. Hahaha. The mini games we play in between out team was also hard and it was that time that I realise Frisbee isn't an easy sport AT ALL!
I also managed to take a few shots and I compiled them into a video, here is the video, hope you will enjoy it!
(: Thank you for all support! Labels: Church, emerge, frisbee, Fun, saturday, Thoughts Relationships.
well, like most people say, the most important thing in any relationship, be it with your parents, with your siblings, with your friends or with you special one, is communication. Communication in this sense is quite direct, talking. Or actually, to tell and show how you really feel. People nowdays are expecting more. I don't know is it just me or what. People are expecting others to understand how they feel without them telling. They expect people to know what they are going through without sharing. This doesn't make much sense, does it? Okay, relationships takes two hands to clap, the people around me got to play a part and I, myself, got to play a part. I'm trying my best to understand people, but I'm also hoping that people would understand how hard it is to try to guess how others are feeling and hoping you don't get it wrong. this would all be better if people just openly say how they feel and that don't get offended easily. i just feel this way, I don't know about most people. For me, people who I really want to understand and to be close with are people that I start a conversation with. If i am trying to start a conversation with someone, it means I am interested in their lives. I want to understand them. I would love to be given a chance to do this, I don't want to always feel so bad because it seems like i am forever disturbing them. I want people to tell me what they are going through, I want to try to be a listener. I don't wish to misunderstand people. It might be hard, but I'm always willing to give it a shot. I'm not perfect, but I'll keep trying. And to you, I am definitely not the best. I will try to be, I do feel lost and don't seem to understand you some times, but please try to understand also that I sometimes really don't know anything at all. you're the most amazing thing that is in my life now. and i love you.
