Softball!

This is going to be a surprise to all Ping's family members - I am in a softball team!! Hehe...that is 100% reality. No hidden meaning!

Ping has never played any games that involves ball/shuttlecock...wait, actually Ping have never participated in ANY sports at all! During Pendidikan Jasmani (Physical Education), Ping would always try to find a reason not to be participate unless it is 100 m run or passing baton run or 'gotong-royong' (group clean up) sessions. Of course, Ping can't always get away so Ping actually did try to play volleyball and netball but didn't get good enough to be excited about the game.

When Tom annouced that we will have a softball team this summer, Ping's first reaction - can I not play? But because they required females to play, Ping did end up playing in the first game, which unfortunately we lost. That was the single elimination game (meaning that if your team lose, it is out). Since there are enough people who wants to play, we end up joining the intramural league. Ping did try to get out of it initially (I had a good reason - I was at KBS!) but end up playing her first game on Monday. Not knowing what is going on or how to play, Ping did really bad at batting. When we played the field, Ping gets to be the catcher so it wasn't that bad but wished that I knew what was going on.

Ping finally learned how the whole gameplay is about and today, during Ping's second game, softball is actually fun! This is definitely the first game that makes Ping excited enough to want to play again next week! The best is, Ping finally made contact with the ball!!! Twice too!! Yippee!!! 好興奮!!! Now the next goal is to actually get to run up to first base!!! Hehee...真得隴望蜀.
