VB - Volley and Boys

slept at 5.30 and woke up around 9 today - pretty crazy but life goes on. went to velocity to collect the race pack - well actually it's the race number and the chip, once chip is returned THEN we will get the race pack - for myself and 3 other friends who aren't in town. went to vivo afterwards to meet a friend for a lunch-cum-sharing session before VB. hoorraayy.
after so long i finally scored - SCORED! not from serving, not from normal-hit-turn-lucky but from really aiming the ball i hit to the right position. no spike nor dig for now but i was soo happy and everyone were high five-ing and cheering me, though i screwed up several times afterwards - mostly from my wrong way of hitting. i guess this was the longest game - in terms of serious game - i had since i joined. i was like playing 4 sets in a row until we couldn't see the ball anymore. honestly i was a bit breathless as well 'cos i am still unwell.
went to ramen tan for dinner as one of the boys is working there so of course we have to support, eh. we tried to be funny and be the worst customers ever with lots of requests. one of the boys got a plate with his name written with mayo as requested. i really like those boys and i treat them as brothers i never had, after all they're 20, 19, and 18 in ages. i wasn't close to them yet because apart from not commenting much during game *pressure man pressure*, i tend to leave early during fasting month or there's always something on afterwards. this is the 1st time i went back and spent time off court with them. we suggested that one of the boys take over next week's vb as the person in charge will be away. he was a bit stressed up and started practising by taking care of those dannish guys who wanted to join us for dinner. i told him to tell me straightaway after he sends the announcement so that i could reply to it asap to give him my support. he was so happy and i can see the eagerness from his eyes.
ah, those kids - looking at them joking around, playing pranks to each other, calling a couple in the group mama and papa - really make me wish i could return to my school days
