Zui Dao Mei De Yi Tian

Okay, if this post can be written in chinese, i would have named it ,"Zui Dao Mei De Yi Tian". But since i can't, i shall try my best to write it in english.

This day happened 2 days ago...(sounds funny, but never mind.)
It all began when i overslept. Zk called and my dad picked up the phone, i was still sleeping at that time. Then my father woke me up and i realised i am supposed to meet Zk at 11am, and it was already 11.15 and unfortunately, i was still sleeping. So, in theory, i was already late, but luckily Zk called before he went out, so he wont need to wait for me so long since he haven't stepped out of his house yet. Was still late after all even though the timing has been changed but then he wasn't angry so good lor. Went all the way down to school, original plan was to play snooker, but then don't know if can take the snooker room key, so that's worrying me. Managed to take it however until the next damn thing 'appeared'. The shutters are closed. In other words, i cannot go up to the snooker room, so basically, the key is useless. Luckily, Greg's BB is ending, so we only waited awhile before we carried on with this day's progamme. Went for lunch at j8... Long John's again, and got the scratch cards again =P. Went on this bus '410' and went to leslie's house, realised that we stopped too early and had to walk like 20 minutes? so damn long la, from a shopping centre called 'sim lim square(i think?)' all the way to leslie's condo. Reached there and went on straight for the day's main event. TENNIS. After swinging the bats a few times, i realised that the bat is kind of heavy for me, or rather, too heavy for me. Normally, people wouldn't really notice this, but when playing games such as tennis, table tennis or badminton, we would actually calculate the distance and stretch out our hand to hit in. And actually, the distance that we subconciously calculated actually allows the ball to land somewhere in the middle of the racket. Unfortunately, i have no talent in this. Firstly, my arms are too long, so when they hit a ball near me, my arm would not swing, in fact, its my hand that is swinging. Notice the difference? Swinging your arms actually means swinging all the way from the shoulders onwards, however, swinging your hand means swinging from the elbow and onwards. In terms of power and accuracy, there is a damn big difference la. So basically, i didn't win a single point in the whole session of about 1 hour. And it is because i either miss the ball or i hit it up into the sky until it flies until don't know where or i hit it so low that it hits the net. Was damn tired la, cause i tried to move and correct these shitty mistakes. End up so damn tired can't even walk 100m la. had to rest halfway and even sitting is too tiring but i didn't lie down la. Not my property ma. Zk, Greg and leslie decided to swim. And i was like 'Oh My God?' i didn't bring any swimming equipment la. Then they say just wear a shorts and jump down la. Felt lucky that i brought my PE shorts along.(i played tennis in my long pants =P) Little did i know the disater that follows. Go down water, wah very cold then later warm up liao found it cooling. They decided to bring a tennis ball down and play some water games. Had fun at the start until something horrible happened. Cramps! Leg Cramps! 1st time suffering a leg cramp in the water. And it was the right leg that was injured. The worst thing is, after i came up the water, it is still damn painful like until 10 minutes later? thought everything okay liao and made a super wrong decision. I went back into the water to join them again. This time, both legs cramp. crap right? felt lucky that the pool isn't so deep =P. Was extremely puzzled la, don't cramps occur when you never do warm-ups? but i just had tennis for warm-ups la. Formulated a stupid theory myself. It is no secret that we get hot when we exercise, and the muscles will expand. but during exercise, the heat comes from the muscles, but inside yout legs, so the expansions started from the muscles all the way to your skin. However, when i jumped into the pool, the water cools down the legs and we all know that things contract when they're cold. So the theory i formulated is, my muscles haven't cooled down so they're still larger than 'normal' but the skin has already cooled down and are smaller than 'normal' so this uneven expansion causes the cramps.
I know 50% of the people reading this blog has a 80% chance that they wont understand the stupid theory i formulated myself. The point is, i was there standing in the pool, unable to move at all. stuck in the middle la. So Lang Bei... Then see them play until so fun, yet all i can do was to stand in the middle of the pool... so sad can?Strangely, the cramps don't come at all after im out of the pool, only sometimes a little bit pain. So it's like, the pool is at fault??? Went home and sleep, all the way till sunday.......
