This is a week of many events. First I went to Sentosa for the first time in ages. And I tucked into good music at Wala's. And I did my first 16km run...(It'll be 20 km next week i hope!) Oh and my first manicure and pedicure! I also checked out the 6th Asian Netball Championship today. The netball girls' finals was between Malaysia and Singapore and it was held in the Toa Payoh Stadium. Can I just say that the Malaysians are the dark horses and they sure look it too. It's not their home turf and they already have that losing edge, but they aren't dressed like their counterparts man. Our uniforms are very well designed(David insists that the Singapore running down the side of the jersey is very "sexy") and look spiffy and smart. But theirs look like the Crescent girls' uniform. Yellow plain numbered jerseys and blue short skirts. Even the skirts flip differently from ours. It doesn't fall as nicely when the girls jump.
But man, those girls can jump. They sure gave our team a run for their money. And they didn't have a single import, from what I gathered. We had quite a few Caucasians playing on our team, but the whole team worked very well. Seamless passing and man can they jump! They jump out from all angles and they can reach the ball when it seems impossible. I like the Malaysian team's GS. Her aiming is almost perfect. But our GS is hotter... haha. And yes, I may be a girl but I can admire aesthetics. Plus, netball is 60% about the sport and 40% about the girls that make it up!!!
At the prize presentation ceremony, the various teams assembled at the court to receive their prizes. And I saw the TALLEST GIRL IN THE WORLD. Honestly, she was so tall that she towered over the tallest guys there. And these guys were 2m tall. I stood next to them outside the stadium before the match and they towered over the food stands and the overhanging signs already. She had the longest legs but I must say they were too long and made her appear to be standing on stilts. It is impossible to describe my amazement... and you can hear a hush and then a babble of comments from the crowd when she emerged.
Had a good time with David scouting for food although I must say that we are the WORST PEOPLE TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS. Chomp Chomp's for Round 2 was pretty good though=)

hello, so you liked the game that much! haha, who knew that you will bring all your analysis & observations and put it on the world to see. I do love the uniforms and yes especially with the SIngapore word running down their sides. Oh well to add on, Netball girls have the next best firures to swimmers who do the backstroke & breaststroke. How male!
Personally, people, we will see M'sia in the finals again and again. And one day they will win! Because they are younger and have more hunger for success. The Singapore team, are older by an average 5 years and are slow starters. M'sia averaged 18 years of age. Ours about 23. M'sia was contesting and took the lead several times, with their largest margin of 10 points in the 2nd quarter. Even at the beginning of the 3rd quarter, they were ahead.
