Hairs standing, head throbbing, ears ringing, butt precariously hanging from edge of seat, muscles cramped tight, big eyes glazed, multiple blood vessels doing their pulsating 3D wave-dance.
I nearly forgot to breathe... It was that good.
The deafening cheers that resonated around Toa Payoh stadium made me feel younger by at least a decade. Looking around at those young ones, i feel myself transported back to college days. Heck. I stood & cheered like I just reached sweet sixteen. My then-councillors would have been proud.
And... We WON! Those ladies got their balls. Volleyball champions, everyone of them. Whilst I'm typing this, I'm also putting on my aged Nike rubber-soles. I have great plans in mind. I'm going to skip dinner & look for some National Women Under-50 Volleyball Team to join. Wish me luck. I wanna kick some a** too, & have 800++ beserk supporters behind me while I tame those balls.
Congratulations. The first big win in 2 years. Well-done girls, you've made us proud of you. Hopefully, we get a half day off because of you. Then, you can find me at the volleyball court, in my high-cut shorts & rubber soles.
*clap clap whistle whistle*
Till next year.
I'd tell you if i make it to the Under-50 team.
