Orang kata... kalau dah tua tu, buat cara dah tua. But I refused to ikut apa orang kata. Spesis perasan muda lah katakan. I've been looking for a way to keep myself active (and lose some inches) since last year but my search failed. I needed to find something that I could do in a group because I know myself, kalau nak harapkan exercise sorang-sorang, alamatnya memang hangat-hangat tahi ayam. First weekend turun jogging, second weekend tarik selimut. Sangatlah tak ada displin.
Sometime last year my colleagues promised to have weekly or fortnightly netball game. It end up as janji tinggal janji because we never turun padang after we became runner-up for orientation week tournament.
So this year, I found myself a swimming instructor. The dugong found her way back to the pool! Yeay!! I can swim a bit but I needed an instructor to teach me other swimming styles... and I need her around just to give me the confidence that she'll save me if I ever drown in the deepest end of the pool. With her waiting for me at the pool, I cannot skip my pool hour. Tak lama kang boleh kejar Phelps lah ni!
Last week, I received a proposal. Not a marriage proposal lah! A post-grad student came to me asking if I'd be interested to join them in their futsal team. Whoa... that's a big proposal considering I've never kicked a futsal ball, didn't even know how the ball looks like & have never ever watched any futsal match! But hey, why not? If I don't start now, bila lagi kan? So starting last friday, this tulang reput empat kerat have started training daily for a tournament this week. Rumour has it, we'll also join a league with weekly matches starting Feb. Larat ke?
After a few days of training, my verdict is.... main futsal best, sweatpumping like mad! It also made me sangat-sangat lapar (not a good thing aye?) and I need to put loadssss of minyak urat at night while mengurut kaki.
I don't know how long the tahi ayam will stay warm this time.
Oh yeah... I forgot to mention, the guys at the pitch sangat comel... too bad I'm not R1ta Ruda1n1!
