10 Random Facts - No. 1
This has to be the third attempt I'm trying to write something down.
Lol.
Wilson convinced me to join dragon-boating in poly, rather than swimming.
Haiz sia, if only I was better at swimming. Then maybe it'd jerked some confidence to choose that as a CCA. But no, I'm not good at it at all, and I'd probably be the slowest if I did join. And everybody would be widening their eyes at my lack of speed. Yeap... that's way uncool.
As much as I don't like to admit it, I've never been an athletic dude. I've never joined in for soccer, never really tried playing basketball, never ever participated in annual Sports Days. This all recounted way back in primary 2, when I was still a soccer fanatic. I fell once when I was playing soccer with some friends. I tripped, and the next thing I know, a whole patch of skin from the kneecap tore off. It became so bad it got infected and it gnawed my nerves for weeks. Arrrghhh! The pain was excruciating man! But yeap, it did got over, heh. After that, I've never dared to go near the soccer field.
You could say it's a transitory state. From one to another. From something a boy would normally do, to something he began to fear doing. I don't blame fate or anything. It meerly shifted my priorities from soccer, to something else - reading. I read alot after the accident. I think I poured out all of the books in the fiction section of my primary school library. If it wasn't for me falling, I'd probably won't be knowing half of English I'm typing now.
"Bookworm!" They used to call it. It's now a stereotype that if you're a guy, you MUST know how to play soccer and basketball, to be associated with being normal. It's true, it's evident in my old secondary school. Whereby everyone seemed to know a thing or two about soccer/basketball. Those are universal interests conformity moulded. Dudes have weird priorities now....
Well, anyway, I'm not good at both. Yeap.
I'm still considering which to join. Hopefully, this turns out to be another transitory state...lol.
