Heaven is a Place on Earth called Kallang Netball Center

Yesterday, I was requested by one of my Netball teachers to accompany her and the Netball gals for their inter-sch match. This was bcos initially, another teacher was unable to make it, so i was supposed to replace her.

In the end, the teacher could make it after all, but, being the nice guy tat i am, and seeing tat it was NETBALL, a sport tat i've always been SO passionate abt(honest), how could i not go along. haha so i went along wif the gals after sch ended in the afternoon.

Needless to say, the gals were surprised tat i was gg along. I told them I was their escort for the day and i would be the first aid guy as well. Immediately, one of the gals came up to me and said, "i cant breathe sir, i need first aid." yeah rite. hahaha.

anyway, upon reaching the Kallang Netball Center, it was rather interesting initially. I didnt expect so many schs to be there, and with all the lithe, taut bodies and never ending legs on display, i could almost say it felt like heaven for a while. HAHAHAHA.

I must confess i've never watched a full Netball match in my life. and after watching my sch lose by 10 points, i must say i dun think i'll be watching another match anytime soon. somehow, netball just doenst cut it for me.

it doesnt evoke the same kind of interest and passion as football does, or even basketball for tat matter. perhaps its the rules of the game. wonder which wise guy came up wif it. No contact, No dribbling, No way to beat yr opponent, Only 2 gals in the team get to shoot and score, No fanciful tricks, No bone crunching tackles. SHEESH!

If u think i'm being chauvinistic here, well think again. even one of my students i was chatting to agreed wif me tat she felt netball was rather boring and if my sch had other sports which catered for gals, such as maybe soccer or basketball, she would definitely switch. She concurred that the rules for Netball were a real pain in the ass.

I do respect the game and its players. just tat i feel tat it can be improved on further. they shd really do a review of the game itself. it could be so much more exciting than it is rite now. oh well, at least i enjoyed the view. and i'm not talking abt the game. LOL.
