Interesting updates during the 10th Pesta Sukan Championship

Disclaimer -- this has got nothing to do with game play.

General Observations
1. The place is snail and spider infested, although no lizards are found in the boats (thank goodness) even when the boats were resting against the trees overnight.

2. Snails are really persistent -- they would rather had their shells crack or drown than to get off the boat. And when they can no longer stick to the boat, they would throw tantrum and release muscus, just to gross people off. Lesson learned -- we should be like snails, especially when we capsize (the sticking-to-the-boat part, not the throwing-tantrum part).

3. The top steps are the more-wanted seats, as they are away from the sun, especially in the late afternoon.


Observations for the girls
1. We are very gentle, seemingly afraid that the boat will hurt if we charge hard. So thanks to our gentle nature, we had gotten the nickname Ariels (as in the little mermaid from Disney princess), from some spectators on Saturday, Sept 6.

2. We have the capacity to piss other players off, not because we are really good such that they feel intimidated, but simply because we take forever to bring the ball to the center to start.

3. We are probably the only team that has been granted time-out everytime we try to get the ball out of the net to start center-ball. As such, there is sufficient evidence to prove that our games took a longer time (unfortunately, not because of extended time for draw matches).

4. We are probably the only team that leech on other teams' kindness, excessively. Like having other teams to get our ball, having our coach to pass our paddles, having our juniors to get us water, having our teaher and coach to carry our boats (okay this is serious. under no circumstance should we be doing this!).

5. We are all spoilt and pampered in our own way. <-- has to be changed

6. Seeing us getting trashed evoke pity in everyone (as heard from the spectators "看到他们这样子打,真得很可怜。" Evidently so since we had not been granted any foul for illegal sub-ing and holding (and perhaps many more).


Observations for the guys
As heard from the spectators, "Go 小男人!"
(note -- go add your own observations)
