today.
my dear ol' trusty badminton racquet died.
after so faithfully serving me for the past 2+ years.
i won't blame anyone for its death, since it just suddenly broke into two..
maybe it had had enough. maybe timothy was just too strong for it to take. hahah.
poor dudley and timothy.. i think they're quite freaked out.
but like i said, i'm not going to hold anyone responsible for anything.
it wasn't anybody's fault.
that racquet means a lot to me, though. it holds many memories of cedar and training..
many memories of the sweat and 'suffering' i went through with my teammates.
when dudley and timothy presented me with the (rather pathetic-looking) racquet, and while listening about how it died and their apologies, i almost cried.
i wanted to cry.
i think its because i was being too darn sentimental over the loss of my racquet's use.
its like. seeing it in two just broke my heart.
gosh i hope i don't sound stupid haha.
and thank God i managed to hold back the tears.. if not i'd just look really stupid crying in front of them.
besides, they probably would've freaked out even more.
mrwee thinks my racquet should be able to be fixed, and i really hope it can.
if not, the guys will buy me a new one although it'll never replace my racquet.
ohwell. they're nice enough to offer to pay for it. (:

training today was uber fun!
did some cardio exercises at the pull-up bar, then amir made us do some agility runs on the side track.
then we played captain's ball!
amazingly i ran a lot haha. was on the losing team so i ended up doing 100 over push-ups.
ohwell at least i worked out haha.
thankfully for the captain's ball game - it got my mind off my poor racquet.
and cheered me up a bit.
wasn't in any mood to do anything after PT, so i helped D Sen and fang come up with stuff for their campfire preparation for yangshuo.

when it was time to go, i placed my racquet in my bag.
it struck me that hey, i can actually fit my racquet in my bag.
and i laughed to myself sadly.
ahwell. at least i could still joke with myself.

its going to be a long night for me..
gotta finish up my WR,
further mourn my loss of the racquet,
and rest my weary and tired body.
worst of all, its going to be a long day tomorrow too.
with the getting back of the final results.
sigh.
