kick ball - the story continues

Ok, this is the last one for today, I promise. And a short one too.

The plan to play takraw on a weekly basis has finally begun last night. We gathered at SPE at 8pm, but did not start playing till about 8.30, due to some screw-up with the SPE admin. They apparently did not realise that I had booked the court online, and thus did not set up the net posts, etc. But anyway, the court generally sucked, and we're not intending to go back there in a hurry. Next venue should probably be one of those public courts in a HDB estate.

It was really great to be playing takraw again after such a long long hiatus. Everyone was generally a bit rusty, but we soon got into the flow of the game, and it was just like the old days back in NUS. We managed to gather quite an audience as well, since everyone who walked past simply stared at us all the way, and some even planted themselves in a corner to watch! I guess takraw is really kind of a rare sport in Singapore these days.

Shall leave you with an ideal picture of the top form of the sport. We sort of look like that, but only at the rare brilliant moments. ;) Looking forward to next week's session!
