i've been lying on my bed and not moving for like 45 mins.. and the reason is all because of hockey!! yes.. the crazy trainings are back and this time it could be 3 times a week.. argh.. today's training was worse than ever, manjit singled all those lousy people out and this time he gave us an ultimatum.. we had to push hard and well or we were forced to quit!! and seriously we were all so scared and me and denise were thinking of other CCAS to join if we couldnt make it.. and he told us that he would test us afterwards.. but guess what in the end he didn't test us and made us so worried for nothing..hahahaha.. after that we had to do physical and i tell you it was damn tiring.. and i didnt have a proper lunch so while i was doing PT, i felt like fainting.. my legs were soo wobbly and everytime i breathed my lungs felt like they were on fire.. we had to do 9 sets of star jumps and running till the 50m mark, 6 sets of knee jumps and running to the 50m mark and last but not least we had to do non-stop ball dribbling till the 50m mark.. i tell you it was damn tiring.. some guys couldn't even take it okie but all the girls persevered and we finished everything!! whoopee... i tell you the 15mins of non-stop dribbling i seriously felt like it was the end of my life.. i was so dead tired and manjit kept asking us to run faster and push ourselves.. but there is a limit to what the human body can do ya know.. and when he finally said that we could rest, you could hear the whole group of us heaving a huge sigh of relief!! i'm not exaggerating, it's the truth.. so after that we had to cool down.. now comes my favourite part of the whole training, the pep talk.. hahaha.. we always have pep talks during training and this time denise and i voiced our opinions to manjit!! initially i was kinda scared that manjit would get angry and stuff but he didnt so we talked about how we were feeling like how we didnt feel like part of the team and we asked him why does he always take us 4 aside.. and well most of our doubts were answered... and manjit was really nice about everything explaining why he does what he does.. not bad actually and seriously this hockey training is the best training so far.. we felt really happy after training i tell you :) hahaha...and guess how long this training was.. we started at 5pm but as usually hairin wants us there at 4pm.. so i guess training officially started at 5.30pm and we ended at around 8.45pm with all the cooling down.. but i'm happy that i'm home safe and sound and all in one piece now.. sometimes training can get a little crazy and when that happens, i'm just grateful that i have a warm bed and a nice hot shower to return to.. it's these small things in life that make life so much more bearable i guess.. after training went to adam road hawker centre to eat dinner cos i was famished and hahaha.. i ate an all time high record of 2 plain pratas and 1 cheese prata.. it was really good!!! yummy.. went home dead tired bit extremely satisfied..
