first blood
Friday, July 20, 2007,

revealing the rank no.1.. its the 1 on 1 drill, and i had always thought this drill to be quite simple and safe. yesterday, i was proved wrong. TOTALLY.

abit of the technical stuff, there are several versions of this drill. in this drill we are suppose to go in pair. along the 3 point line as in for basketball court, one will dribble the ball, varying his speed and the ultimate aim is to shoot at the goal. as for the other one, just follow close to that attacking blade side, preventing his from taking a shot at the goal. follow close, don't commit.



previously i was partnered with bala, but somehow i ended with all the bruises on my legs, arms etc. so i swooped my partner to kiong.. having only 5 pairs in total, my side with 2 pairs had to go through drill a couple more times. the first few times doing that drill turns out to be fine. it was his turn to attack. i tagged him closely, all the turns, fakes and he saw a opening in my defense.

he turned, took the chance.

i attempted to block the shot with the stick. the shot went through, i think.

he followed through with his stick. and the next moment, i was on the ground.

hands covering my face.. i rolled on the floor. they thought i was just play acting. which i usually did, what to do? i attended drogba's diving course. lol.

only this time, it was real. the blood was real. the pain was there. nobody came.

realising that, they came to my attention. it was all so bloody. they thought i got hit in the eye, as the blood covered my eye. good grief. i am at a total lost, how bad was i hit? need stitches? scarred face? would i become the next harry potter? as they cleaned up my wound, they got a clearer view of extent of the injury. 2 separate small cuts, and i wondering why did the blood kept flowing out?

a messed up bandage dressing by john, SAF paramedic level 2 trained. i never really trust the SAF trained.. lol. anyway, its better than nothing. all those fluid lost and together with the skipped dinner, i became dizzy. the vision became blurred, green and dim. hey, who dimmed the lights? i told them, i was going to black out liao.. they dragged me out and send me to the nearest clinic.

everything back to normal, just without my participation.. i sat there, resting till it was time for supper..haha. never to miss having supper at "179".

just not my day, i guessed.
