i miss being an athlete!

i kinda found out some time ago
that one of my mentee is a KL state badminton player

for a girl with such 'glory'
and such achievement to be proud of..
shes really humble and nice :)

and then i was kinda 'stalking' her photos just now
and figured shes an athlete too :O
not just an athlete
a freaking sportswoman (olahragawati) too
(and she's still humble ;) )

holy shit..
guess what?
i actually have a 'thing' for athletes

why?
because i was one too :O

don't believe?

when i was in primary school
i used to represent my green house team as a runner..

not much achievements though
because back in my time..
green house is always the loser team x)
and i mean it.. always x)
i'd always joined sukantara to helped my team as much as i could

but anyway, back to the story
i was a runner/athlete

i used to take part in long jumps, high jumps (rarely)..
100m, 4x100m and 4x200m
and backup runner for 200m ;)
(nah.. other than sukantara i'd never do lontar peluru.. i was too skinny for that xD )

so yea.. i do go for training and all x)
athlete boo yeah! 

until at one point
there's this girl who somehow got into the green house team (i forgot her name)
same age as me
she was faster and better than me...
ran faster.. jumped further
and bam..
my spot in the team is gone... :O

now that i think about it
i dont blame her...
i kinda blame myself for not getting better x)

my one and only medal of running
which was also my last race after being the main runner i guess?

it was a bronze medal for 4x100m perempuan kelas 3
means i was standard 4?
i still keep that medal up till today...
so that medal is 8 years old :)
maybe i'll show it here if i remember x)

because from there i was always the backup runner from there on..
and then i stopped all training in the end.. no more medals for me x)

and never do anything hectic in high school too..
only did sukantara
and i guess the most 'atheletic' would be marching.. :O

and that wasnt much of a achievement too...
always end up in.. not-so-cooperative teams
mmm i did win a medal for Hari Kokurikulum when i was form 1 though..
i think its a 4th place for marching as the kadet bomba team x)

but here i am today..
stamina gone... muscle gone
normal posture gone
grown a jelly belly D<
and cant even walk a few km without feeling worked out :/ 

im trying to work out or go for jogs and all
but i just dont have the time/energy when i have classes :X
in other words.. lazy

i miss my athlete life to be honest
i like running...
i like having something to be proud of.. (not lansi.. but just proud and happy about it)
something that my parents would take part in supporting me!
shouting to cheer for me...(not to scold me x) )

ahh good times.. it was all good family times

cause now im just another nerd/geek
staying home and sleeping off my free time
or spending hours on the computer playing game or surfing the net
or staying up late till wee hours doing nothing productive

reminiscing is good ;)
