"Then this little white fluffy thing gains eye contact with you, thinking it has your attention, it starts prancing towards your direction. There was pretty much nothing that could stop it as it gains momentum. All that is left to do is nothing but to sit there, and be mentally prepared for the impact that could come alongside with the enthusiasm this little thing has."

I was describing how Mika would have attacked me, whenever she seems me around the house, wanting to have a little play with me. :)

Thinking that I have no idea how to start talking about this, I decided to go all random (as usual). Totally out of topic, but still relevant at the same time. Thank goodness I am DONE with my essay assignments. What is left, is the final pieces of examination that stands between me and my first ever Summer holiday here in Melbourne.

I absolutely hate when that one particular item could mean so much to one person, when it is also most definitely insignificant to the rest of the world (unless of course, you share the same 'memory' behind that particular item). Been meaning to talk about it, but I could not comprehend the fact that this inanimate object is causing so much stir in my noggins. Much like a whirlpool of stir that it gets me jumbled up for words whenever I try describing it. Even now, I am trying to find the best way I can say this without being completely self-absorbed in it.

There is pretty much nowhere I could run, at least not anymore. How much this one thing has brought significant change in my life. That one medal, that one photo, and the crap load of thoughts I have regarding this (still not getting to the point, dang it).

Third placing for Ultimate Frisbee, Asean Games Australia 2012.

I have always been the sports person in school. Probably in a way, I may be boasting about it. But this was pretty much the only thing I can boast about, ever. Getting medals for almost every sports event I participated in school, those light weighted FAKE medals, didn't really mean much as compared to what I have today. Simply because back in schooling days, there weren't many people who were interested in sports, and I knew that I was only good enough for school standard, nothing when it comes to competing outside of it. Never would I have thought I could actually have the chance to grab hold of a medal once again. In a way, this one medal has brought back significant memories of how I used to be 'active at sports'.

I don't know how big of a deal AGA was, but it is the reason that I got introduced to an awesome bunch of frisbee players. Not only that, those training and outings with them got me knowing what the game of frisbee really is. To me, they seemed to be taking this game seriously, and that they were good at it. Until I got exposed to watching people from other universities play, then I knew even more than I ever knew about frisbee. Would have to say, because of the fact that I had initially underestimated this game, with now having so much exposure to this, I am officially addicted. Even if I don't get to play it professionally, but I have definitely gained a profound respect to all the frisbee players out there. Reminds me of cheer, really. The spirit is.. (insert dumbfound-simile here). Doubt I could get this part of my memories erased, ever. It felt like some flash-bang and it just blinded me almost immediately, that one long beep sound that comes right after, is still ongoing.

It really feels like I have so much more to share about what I know about this game. Though at the same time, it feels like I still don't know enough to talk about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus the fact that I knew nothing about this game, I was pretty much the one with the least experience. A medal with that much knowledge, somehow didn't feel rather appropriate. As the dead weight, I just did whatever I could to contribute with the littlest I could. Because it was a live match, I pretty much had to force myself to learn more than I would normally have. "Mind over matter", was the one phrase that I kept repeating in my head whenever I felt like I could've contributed more, or whenever I felt like giving up. Fact that I only had 2 hours of sleep the night before, added that self pressure onto myself to push myself even more. It got a little overboard at one point, where I accidentally rammed into someone, and caused her to have a bruise in her head. :/

In all honesty, it still felt like a miracle that I actually gotten a medal for what had happened throughout a time of only less than 2 weeks. Still surprised that I even managed to push through the whole ordeal with only 2 hours of sleep, and an injured toe, and tired leg muscles. So yes, this one medal has caused a tidal wave through my thoughts and also given me a bunch of new friends and a terrible sunburn on my face. :D

Ultimate frisbee has literally blown my mind.
And I have no one else to thank, but you.
yeap! YOU! :D
