Brunei Leicester Games

So.. we won yesterday. It was a pretty decent win I guess. I'm just frustrated that I didn't get to finish the last two games we had to play because that was the time my leg decided to give out on me. I was pissed because I couldn't play anymore, I was pissed because people just started crowding me when I was screaming in pain (it's nice that they care and all, but hey, it's breathing space I wanted.. and you've all walked into my all-ready claustrophobic bubble), and I was pissed because my leg gave up on me.

Despite the fact we won most games we played (we only drew on one game), there's always always room for improvement. Like making sure I build up on my knee muscles, I remember my doctor telling me they won't grow due to trauma (I've had injuries exactly like this before) so I'm suppose to do daily exercises with them. I know what they are, I just don't have the time to do them.

I feel kinda horrible for letting go of my emotions when I fell, but I guess people could see how flustered I was. I mean, I was so irritated. Why did my leg have to give out? Why in the middle of the damn game I was trying so hard to concerntrate on?

I'm thankful for my teammates. We've only recruited a new member this year, and she's good at what she does.. even if there were some parts of the games when I couldn't really work with her, but that's probably because we've never played together. What most people don't know is that when we walked on to the courts that day, that was the first time we've played together since the last BruNott games, and that was a good ten months ago.

I guess most of us were just lucky to have found one another and be part of what I'd call a great (if you don't mind me saying so) team. Most of all, I'm thankful I came to Loughborough, and met my (now) housemate, Mas because she's the one who got me into DangGanazz (no matter how bad that name is, it's not the name, it's how you play the game), and she's the one who I look up to most when we're playing. She's one of the nicest people I've met here in UK, and the probably most genuine. I don't meet these types of people while I was growing up, her and her group of friends, they're all teriffic, just like her. Our team is loosely based around her group of friends, and all the girls are just great. It's a shame Fiz wasn't there to join us in our group photo, or else it'd have looked much better.

I'm just hoping my leg gets better soon so I could start on a daily jog in the morning. My first classes begin tomorrow, I'm probably going to call for a cab to class because I can't walk. I'm limping and it huts when I put my weight on my right leg. It's still swollen. Mas, Fol, Mus and Syer have been taking care of my every need. I feel helpless and it makes me feel sad. I hate feeling as vulnerable as I probably look.

I cried the whole night I got back, not just because of the pain but because I have to resort to depending on others to help me. I had to sit on my bum this morning just to go up the stairs because that's how hard it was for me to walk. I didn't want to wake anyone up because I wasn't suppose to go up the stairs. As silly as it was, that's just how I wanted it to be, but I did end up asking Syer to help me up when I got to the top. lol.

Anyway, there are more photos at Mustanir's flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mustanir/ oh and before I forget.. the boys did play a bit of football. They lost every game but they had great fun from the looks of it, even if I ended up crying in the end due to a nasty spill.

Rahman and Fol in Blue.

Brunei Leicester Games was great :-) Thanks BruLeics for organising it. xxx
