ntu street challenge is a whole day event organised by the ntu sports club. there are different sports being played, consisting of frisbee, street soccer, basketball, netball, floorball and handball.
so how did i ever get involved in this street challenge? it all started when two 20-year-old girls, anna and yilun, who happened to be in the ntu girls handball team, jio-ed my pe classmate huifen to form a team. the three of them knew each other because they are in the ntu netball ivp team.
and then huifen is tasked to jio the guys, so she came to jio me first in order to secure a goalkeeper for the team, and then i went on to jio kc, zhenhong and chong ghee.
presenting to you, the team photo (with the WAGs):
(my G is not around because she has to go attend a birthday party. haha.)i must say that our team has very very strong dynamics. all of us clicked very well together. of course 5 of us are pe classmates. and the two 20-year-old girls had no problems communicating with us because they were very chatty in the first place and kept entertaining us with their comments. btw there is a ten year age difference between them and our oldest member of the team, who is none other than chong ghee. hahahahahaha.
and i must really thank kc, zhenhong and chong ghee who agreed to play. they really dislike handball due to the physical and agressive nature of the game, but they still played just for my sake and for brotherhood. i am very very touched.
in short, i really really LOVE my team!!!
anyway we won the champion. most of the teams dunno how to play handball, and they were playing more of the captain's ball or netball style. so for a handball player like me, i feel very kek sim when i am seeing all these. i think the referees were even more kek sim and they have to keep blowing the whistle for simple fouls despite telling the teams the rules and regulations before the competition.
seriously i hope that handball will become a more established sport in ntu, just like how popular it is in nus, but i think its kinda hard. the only reason why there are pple playing actual handball in ntu is because there are handball players who graduated from nus, and came into nie as teachers.
our prize is a new urban male bag worth $159! not the whole team got one bag! everyone got a bag each! wow ntu sports club really quite 破费. i shall give the bag to darling. hahaha.
and i really feel quite sorry for the ultimate frisbee champions, because their prize is just a tall hamper with all the tidbits, no abalone, bird's nest or shark fin. hoho.
THE VICTORS! chong ghee not inside this photo because he has to rush off for a family dinner.
the day was concluded by going to jurong point for celebration dinner at dian xiao er! and kc fetched me home after that! thank u so much kc! taiwan buddies rock. hahahaha.
