THE FOLLOWING POST WILL BE ALL ABOUT JSS'S VOLLEYBALL TEAM FROM 2002 -2005.

2002- SEC1
no photos.
but i remember on the day of sports trial.
i was dragged into basketball by the teacher-in-charge. CHUAMEIHUI.
and me being not sporty at that time.
was not interested in sports.
and definitely NOT INTERESTED IN RUNNING.
and basketball = running 2.4km just to warmup.
to JIAHUI
800m = HELL
2.4km = HELLHELLHELL
JIAHUI ACT SMART.
jump to volleyball queue.
thinking i can get pass it.
volleyball trial was to turn around at the blow of the whistle, run towards the ball that was thrown into the air.
and catch it.
I ACT BLUR THROUGHOUT.
RUN SLOW SLOW.
LET THE BALL DROP.
still.
i'm in volleyball.
ROAR.
laoshi,
MS NGSIEWTUAN.
just wouldnt let me go.

but thanks to volleyball.
i lost 10kg in a year.
and stayed the same all the way after that.

so being FAT and HEAVY.
i was always last when it comes to running.
NO SPEED, NO STAMINA.
i couldnt run 800m in 5minutes.
damn weak la.
i was the last one to complete all the basics.
NO ONE WANT TO PARTNER ME COS I SUCKED AT VOLLEYBALL.
drag them down from completing it only.
ahahahaha.

and one fine day.
the seniors gave us a test.
to test if we could really do what we were told to do during training.
in other words.
to test if we were eating snake during training.
zigang 100
and lastly
800m under 5minutes
shit.
well luckily i passed.
managed to do 123 zigang.
and ran 4:56min.
and i remember.
i was last again.
and HUYU.
my setter.
slowed down to wait for me!
and ask me to run faster.
she even push me to complete it before her.
so i took the 4:56 timing.
and she took the 4:57 timing.
DAMN TOUCHING.

and also the times we get punished.
TOTAL HUMILIATION.
made to scream from one place to another becos we didnt say 'ace' during training.
seniors gain permission from laoshi to scold the shit out of you.
and make you do squats.
situps.
frog jumps.
everything and anything they can think of.
punishment menu goes like this...
LATE FOR TRAINING - 1round frogjump
LATE FOR TRAINING AGAIN - x2 frogjump
and so on so for.
EXTRA PIERCINGS - 1round frogjump for every piercing
ANKLE SOCKS - 1round frogjump
LONG FINGERNAILS - 1round frogjump
COLOURED RUBBERBAND - 1round frog jump
basically everything is about frog jump.
jump until you die.
NO HAIRBAND.
NO TUCK OUT SHIRTS.
NO FOLDING OF SLEEVES.
