Basketball

Basketball has always been my love....played lots back during JC days.

Recently I just had my yearly alumni basketball games back in school.
Instead of our team being named by the year we graduated from school....our teacher decided to call us "Oldies".
How appropriate!

The oldies were mean! The oldies were great!
OK...dream on...we are not termed oldies for fun. We are really OLD since its like bt 10 yrs since we left school? Its not just the age....it shows in the game.
Barely 2 matches, I already had 2 casualities on my team. We were all gasping for breath like 3 mins into each match. Errr I think tats just me.

Oh I have to mention the jerseys! All of the juniors were in their full glorious jerseys and shorts whilst the oldies were wearing our OLD shorts n sloppy t-shirts from our basketball era 10 yrs ago.

Young Junior: Are these shorts part of your jerseys back then? How come your shorts so short?

Oldies: Back then...everyone's shorts were of this length.

Me: As we got progressively fatter over the years...the length of the shorts grew considerably shorter.

*Loud guffaws from everyone*
Hey I still had a sense of humour!

The oldies later commented to our teacher about what the junior said.
Our teacher tried to make the best out of it and said we were part of the Larry Bird era when shorts were really short. Ha! We were part of the legend. *hurhur*

Anyhow...despite the injuries...the lack of stamina...the brittle bones...we have decided tat we wanna win the championship next yr. So someone suggested we meet up once a month to play some basketball. We wanna believe with more practice, we will win! I am now waiting to see if tat monthly game come thru.
