Too little time.
I am tired. A little bit too tired perhaps. Sometimes I wished that the nights and early mornings are longer than the days. Cause yesterday was definitely one of the better days of my life. Or rather,night. It was a hell of a training at Yio Chu Kang Stadium. Club training is so different from school training. Or rather, Lion Red training now is so different from Lion Red training then. I had a lot of fun playing with all these guys, some whom I played against in the A division and some four, five years my senior. I felt so easy playing around these guys, so carefree like I'm relieved of all responsibility and I can just enjoy myself. The training was tough, but what club training isn't? But I didn't feel like I have to impress all these guys, all of whom are bigger and absolutely stronger than me. We had a pretty impressive turnout. There were enough forwards to make three separate packs with reserves to go around and we could make two backlines with reserves. Even more surprising was that there was only two scrumhalves out of that huge group and I'm pretty proud to be one of them. Well that could change pretty soon. Hadi who is a scrumhalf in the national team didn't train even though he had came down to the stadium. Navin who I am sure would want to play club rugby also didn't turn up. But then Lion Red would be sending a team to both Division One and Two, so that wouldn't be much of a problem. To end the night,some guys got a chance to pplay against the girls' touch team.Oh hell, it was a dream to play with them. The girls was super pretty and it must have amused them seeing a bunch of guys staring at them breaking through the line. Well I know I was looking pretty dumb with my mouth open wide. But you know, it was a pretty sight. And boy was I glad to play with them. And oh, the girls won 5-1.
