Tuesday, February 21, 2006 We were beaten.

We reached Police Academy on Saturday at 9 am. Our captain ball game was at 10.30am. We were 4 girls (J, R, M and myself) and a guy (T). We got to know each other and we started praticing eventhough we know we are short of 2 more players. J told us that 2 more guys would be joining us later as they were playing soccer. We were practicing in the hot sun till 10.30am. They were 4 guys and 3 girls in the opposing team. Those guys were tall and fit. They are baketball and netball players. Well we thought it was unfair since there were 4 guys in their team so we decided to have 3 guys and 3 girls in a team. Even with this arrangement, we were still on the losing side because 3 guys were playing but for us two guys were playing and the third guy was standing on the chair to catch the ball. The other team, the 4th guy was standing on the chair. We played the first set. We played for 10 mins and we were down 4-0. In the first place, i did not know that there would be guys playing. So I was upset. In the second set, I told the guy who was standing in the chair to replace me so that I can stand in the chair to try and catch the ball since I was taller than him. He replied me that he can't run because of health problem and I was thinking why was he part of the team in the first place. Again I was upset. I just continued playing and we were down 6-1 in the second set. The opposing team played well coordinated game and they know where their positions are in the game and we were like running all over the court. It was very tiring to play under the hot sun but those guys looked so cool with sweats running down their forehead. I bet the whole team got lots and lots of stamina, afterall they just had a game of badminton before playing the captain ball. We were definetly on the losing side eventhough we managed to get 3 guys (from the soccer side) to play in the last set. I did not feel bad at all losing because they played much better game than us. I hated the umpire. She thinks she knows more about the game than anyone else. She thinks she is good in all games. She thinks she is the sports player of the year....my foot!!! I simply hate her. She even remark at one point that she has to give up playing this game to become an umpire...she thinks she is a pro...yuckkkss at her remark.
So much for a captain ball game, I went back home limping err not really limping but was feeling sharp pain in my left leg. I reached home and my left first toe nail was all red. I had to put ice cubes on both my left and right first toes. The left toe looked pretty bad and I got 2 days off from work. I came back to work in jeans and slippers today. No one said anything about the slippers after looking how bad my poor toe is. I have been enduring the pain since Saturday and it doesn't seem to get any better with the cream or medicine. It still looks swollen and pale. The only thing I learnt from this game is how bad my stamina level has dropped. Now I don't believe that age got something to do with this. It is all because of my laziness to start exercising. Now that I have seen it for myself, I am going to do something about it and of course once my toe gets better :(
