Of IMU cup Netball and Volleyball!!

Lets see, IMU cup ended sometime ago, but I failed to mention how other sports fare did I?

We'll go round one by one shall we?

I took part in 7 sports basically. Seven yes yes, Tujuh, Chi!!

Volleyball
Overall, out team got 4th. To be honest, throughout the entire IMU cup, we only defeated one team, and that was by a very narrow margin. I think we fought our hardest in the 3rd-4th placing match, but somehow, things never go according to plan. We always ended up losing our spirit when it came to the girl who serve like a guy. Oh, she smashed a ball into my pelvic bone *it hurts like mad* thats how powerful her spike it. But it was a good experience, and I picked up a new sport. Now I love Volleyball. =)

Swimming
I was only the reserve in this event, because you-know-la I don't fancy swimming. *I didn't even get wet on that day man* LOL. But out team did GREAT. Pocketed a few golds and silvers and bronzes for our batch, and overall, we came in 2nd. WOOHOO.

Badminton
We were 4th overall. Somehow our strategies didn't really work because we always end up pairing wrong people against wrong opponents. But the team fought really hard for it. I love our spirit. GO DIAMONDS!!

I don't have pictures of our team, but I can post up a nice captain pic.

MARTICUS!!Basketball
This is the funniest sport I ever took part in. I simply refused to touch the ball (people reserve la) and enter the court, because I can't play nuts. We didnt win, but we were a great team. 3 cheers!!

Track and Field
Initially I was supposed to run 200m and long jump. Somehow on that day, I pulled a muscle, so 200m was taken over by another girl (vonvee). But noone in my batch knows how to long jump, so I gotta grit my teeth, and bear with the pain, and jump. Sigh. Was at first number 3 all along, but the 4th girl did a god-like jump and beat me to it, and I fouled the last try. So I ended up in 4th place. Was quite upset with myself for a while, but shit happens a lot eh??

Our batch grabbed a number of medals in this event. And came in overall 2nd!!

sob sob, I left di when this picture is taken

Netball
We only had ONE practise as a team together. Even then, that ONE practise was quite useless, cos the whole team wasn't there, and all we did was some passes that we ALL know, and played a little defense offence game to see if our skills are not-rotted yet.

The night itself, we made it through easily to the semi's, whereby our captain Sangeeta went like "just now was only a practise, this is our real match" only to repeat the same thing again in finals. Oh and I scrapped my knee in semi's causing me to look unglam like this when they tried patching it up!!
Anyways, WE GOT GOLD FOR NETBALL. Omigosh, our deciding match is so so so so close. We were tailing behind 0-5 at first, and then 5-10. But somehow, we figured a way to break their defenses and attacked all the way till 9-10 one minute before the match end. And at the final second, Sangeeta shot a nice shot which made us tie a 10-10 just when the whistle went off. So in the extra time, we beat our opponents. Teeheehee.

Look at my jump. Tall-nya!!

Look at Denise!! Pro!!

3 cheers to our team!!

The last and 7th event I am in, is cheerleading, which is already all over up down left right of my blog. So this is it guys. Tata!!
