im a happy boy!

i finally went back for scc training on tue night after hitting the books all day long. yes! its about time i burn some of that fats. the last time i touched that rugby ball was in june.. since then went for op and stayed away from the game. i guess its really hard to keep myself away from something im very passionate about. rugby has been the only thing that kept me going. enjoying every single minute playing and watching. its a gd way of destressing myself esp during this period. scc trgs wld usually be on mon and wed but it has been changed to tue and thurs recently.

trg started around 7.30pm. went slightly earlier to catch up with the lads. the last time that i saw most of them was probably the end of season dinner early feb and i was out of the club scene for quite sometime. at least now im back. haha. trg started off with half-field touch and soon full field touch that is slowly being coverted to full contact. we had the expert terry wright to coach and guide us. he is really good. his explanations were simple and clear to understand. he was a former new zealand all blacks (click here to read more about him). after that "intensive" workout which i found out tat im horribly unfit. nevertheless its kind of expected, since i havent been trg for months. haha. the premier and thirds didnt have enough numbers so we had a join team run. initially i was very lost bcos im not sure of the moves. after taking sometime to educate myself, things went perfectly fine. my passes were still quite sharp. so thats a thumbs up. haha. finally, we finished our trg with some fitness. the first thing that came to my mind was like.. oh shitt.. fitness?! im already dying here. thank god. the fitness we did were no where close to wat the saints rugby team is doing. yup. i felt really good after tat! its like i felt so fresh and suddenly being more of myself! i came to conclude.. its really hard to take rugby out of my life. impossible! david moore gave me a ride back after trg. thanks!

today went for a video shoot. mr tong was awarded one of the coach recognition awards by singapore sports council. so we (AT, BR, AC, RL n myself) had a photo plus video taken of him coaching us. i think he really deserves this award. i still remember that time wen i was looking at the requirements on the nomination forms, i noticed mr tong actually fulfilled most of it. i decided to nominate him for this outstanding award. with the help of mr ho and a few other ruggers, the nomination form was sent it jus a few hours before the closing time. haha. kudos to mr tong for receiving the award! after the shoot, we went for lunch. great food!!

alrites. back to the books.
