“If your soul is filled with light, then life is filled with doors and path.
Embrace the brooding shadows, then everything is obstacles and adversity.”
So speaketh Joy the Dancer, sister of Light of Heaven.
And by golly, you know what, she is quite right. And what begin as a jibe to Deb, might very well be on my msn nick for quite a while.
Its funny. I’ve never really paid much attention to the lyrics of this song before.
But as I read the lyrics off his post and listened to the song again, it just reminded me of what had transpired between us. And perhaps, just like the song asks, deep down inside, some part of me still wants to know why.
I don’t think you know what I feel
You don’t know what I feel
Oops almost forgot about this, which I did a few weeks back.
Got woken up abruptly, and I’m the kind that once stirred, will not be laid to rest easily again.
Was there earlier this morning, and was searching for the place as the rest of the gang had not arrived and it was my first visit there.
And while searching for the place… let’s just say that I don’t think I’ve been approached/picked up by so many ladies before.
The rest of the gang will inform me later that they weren’t really “ladies” in the first place.
Figures. Too good to be true, too good to be true.
Fortunately for me, I managed to keep my pants on. Not that difficult or surprising, since I was there for a different mission.
“How do I bounce the ball and move forward at the same time??!”
But I am not so cool on wheels. Injured my back once again, while training together with a bunch of guys from HWA (Handicapped Welfare Association) in preparation for their coming basketball tourney. But more on that later.
Playing basketball on a wheelchair isn’t as easy as it sounds. The most basic maneuver of picking up the ball off the ground is already not easy to master, let alone controlling the direction of the wheelchair in full throttle. See the look of intense concentration in the photo above for case illustration. 
I was allowed to play some 3 on 3 later on and it was really quite fun. It was a bit like playing bumper cars due to the unavoidable crashing into each other when vying for the ball and a bit like playing netball also due to the height difference once you are seated on the wheelchair. Its also a good workout for the arms and the shoulders. 
I got convinced later to help them form another team, as I heard the take-up is slow and they really want more teams to make the tourney more interesting. Unfortunately, I hurt my back during the session and the sinseh told me to stop playing or my back will never recover… sigh.
But if you guys are interested, do sign up! And if you need to know how to play, the guys training every Wednesday and Saturday at the United World College would be happy to teach you.
UPDATE : Some of you might be worried that the sport is dangerous, because I injured my back. I’ll like to assure you that its not. My back was injured because I’ve been having a chronic back problem prior to this, and the fact that it got injured again means that my back wasn’t fully healed in the first place. In fact, I was the only casualty amongst the newbies that night… Sigh, looks like its back to “woman on top” nights for me …
