I played futsal last night.

This is ME ok..me, who cannot run for her life, who can't barely kick a blade of grass, and who would look as out of place on a football field as Mickey Mouse on a John Woo flick.

But play futsal i did, and i have 2 sore knees to show for it *grins*

Did i mention the company i keep here is one of the best *insya-Allah, so far, Alhamdulillah everyone's real cool* that i've ever kept? We got kinda tight after 2 months of dancing together, and i think its prolly because everyone just kinda miss hanging out with everyone else, so someone came up with this Futsal idea, while we were having drinks one night (which was the last night we had dance practice, and everyone didn't want to leave just yet, so we decided to go for drinks).

So, Mr Z (who is incidentally, my part-time driver whenever i need to get back home pronto :p) coordinated a game last night, and so 3 cars, got lost on the way to Sports Unlimited *rolls eyes* ...but it was fun!!!!!!!!!!! majorly uplifting and adrenaline charging hehe..despite the fact that what i mostly did was to laugh my head off and run around like a headless chicken for a few games. There was about 25 of us there last night, and everyone kinda loosened up and started acting silly, and there were only 3 girls, so us girls had to stay on the turf most of the time to balance out the teams. I didn't manage to score a goal *haha, would be such an achievement if THAT happened* but i did manage to tolak the ball a bit, here and there. I guess during the dance practice before this, we were used to hanging out with each other, steaming in our sweat,so last night was prolly like other hot sweaty nights, with us drinking from everyone else's water bottles, and of course, with this bunch, pictures are definitely expected. As it is, i have 2 emails with large attachments waiting in my inbox. The night ended at a mamak stall *where else la kan, we're Malaysians, and sengkek ones at that :p* with a bunch of limau ais, as everyone is still trying to maintain their weight loss due to all those dance practices :p

I guess what makes me soo teruja about this bunch of new friends i made, is not because everyone is nice, mostly within the same age range and sekepala, not to mention everyone's new here, so we share this newness that comes along with a little bit of inferiority...most of all, what makes me treasure this whole experience and this whole bunch is that they are all MY friends..as in, they are friends i made, all by myself, without any help from anyone..i know it might sound silly, but previously, i've always thought that people *especially guys* are befriending me just because they are friends with my friends, hence they've got to be friendly and nice to me...i know it's VERRYYYY lame, and i'm sorry if anyone is offended, but that's my self-esteem talking...

and now, i know that these people got to know me as who i am, and despite whatever they see *or hear, cuz God knows i'm loud*, they are still around, still offering me lifts, still asking me out for breakfast, lunch or drinks, and my name is still on the Futsal list for the session next week *despite my mom screaming in my ear "tak payahlaa main Futsal tuuuuu!!!*

i am truly blessed :)

which makes it harder to even contemplate moving..i might even put forth my roots and settle down cuz as of now..

i'm bloody comfortable :)

*not to mention, i'm walking on sunshine today..and Tina, babes, best couzin in da world, it feels gooooooddd lalala....*
