Flashback II

This is the second part of “Flashback” series.

So, I was really into sports this semester, or the entire time as UiTM Shah Alam’s student. First and foremost, I act as the manager for my faculty’s aerodance team for the Sukan Antara Fakulti (SAF). I was actually joining as the participant but unfortunately, there is not enough man interested in aerodance and Sira Batcha (the original manager) appointed me as the manager since she is the manager for the marching or “perbarisan.” I wasn't that easy since I’m not only act as the manager, I basically the choreographer too. Although I’m not that good at dance, thanks to YouTube, it makes my job easier. Of course, as a hardcore fan of Britney Spears, I injected a bit of Brit Brit virus into my team by using the pop princess’ I Wanna Go. The training session needs a lot of my time and dedication, I have to go to my faculty almost every night for the training and if we are done training after 1030pm, I have to walk back to my college in the deep dark. Quite a challenge, sometimes after the training, I need to study for my quiz. But this semester wasn't as hard as last two semester when it comes to aerobics since I’m not participating.

Anak buah sekalian, time latihan dalam gym Melati. Mak masuk gym tu uols! Curlass!

As a dedicated manager, I even sneak in into women’s college. Thank God no one caught me, maybe I do have a women’s figure. So during the competition day, our music can’t be play and then we were told that they only need six persons, the most, in a team. Problem after problem, we finally managed to get fourth place out of eighteen teams. That is quite great, considering we were not in top 5 last year. It is a shame that the male team didn't participating, maybe we could keep the number one spot again. Anyway, it was a very fun moment with my team. Everyone deserve a standing ovation. For your information, when they performing, I cried. I don’t know why, maybe I just desperately want they to win. They did.

Posing poyo sebelum the competition.

Nasib menang, kalau tak, memang poyo ja lebih. :)

Hisham, alumni aerobik FSKM datang dari KL semata-mata nak tengok FSKM bertanding. Much appreciated.

I also joined marching or “perbarisan.” I met someone special at that occasion. It was quite a moment to be remembered too. FSKM managed to be placed at fourth for the perbarisan. Note, we were not doing the usual perbarisan, we actually perform for three minutes when we arrived at the main podium. I suggest we do the Thriller dance at first, but considering not many can pull that dance, we change into something easier. Maybe we can do that in the future cause that dance, is a winning dance.

Then, I joined this 5KM run coined as Larian SAF. I didn't get to join this game last year and this run is my fourth long distance run I've joined. I was so nervous, and that I’m really starting at the starting point, making me really nervous. I didn't run the entire time, I stopped once at the road head to Budisiswa since it is the killer point. The ending point was inside the UiTM Shah Alam Stadium, and during the run towards the finish line, I feel the rush especially when Hall of Fame by The Script is playing on my iPod. I didn't make it to the top 20 but I managed to get five points (for those who finished the run below 30 minutes) for my faculty and eventually the faculty ranked 6^th out of 22 faculty joining.

Aben (the rightmost) sibuk nak bergambar, padahal tak join pun lari.

As an amateur, I joined 3000m run competing with other participants from UiTM all over Malaysia. I was laughing at myself when I saw some professional athletes, warming up, since I’m not a track athlete. This is my first time but I applaud myself for trying. During the first five lap (out of 7.5 laps), I was at the very back of the pack. Funny but I managed to run passed one contestant for the last two laps and managed to be placed at 23^rd out of 24^th, at least I’m not the last one. Haha.. That was my goal.

Team FSKM utk Trek & Padang. Ni ja yg datang. Dah la sendiri atlet, sendiri gak jadi penyokong.

"CS766, CS766" I look around, tengok nombor kat perut, oh. "Nombor sendiri pun tak ingat." -.-"

During the closing ceremony, thinking back what I've done for Sukan Antara Fakulti, I am quite proud of myself. I did things that I could never ever do before. Managing people? Man, I’m the one who need manager and look at me, I’m the manager. Haha.. Running on the track? I could never ever do that before with zero confidence. Definitely, I out grown myself. I show to myself that I could be anything if I want to. No boundaries. I learnt a lot about myself this entire time I’m living. I am looking forward to the future, Mayan can’t stop me.
