Long time coming

Been awhile since I blogged, by accident came back here so thought that I would pen a few quick thoughts!

Was looking casually though some of a friend's pictures on facebook, and the same faces are always there, from Secondary school rugby days to present. Its kind of amazing how such friendships are forged and last so long.

These were the guys I looked up to in school, we were in the same team but different years. I tried to mold my game around some of them, and to till very day i still look up to them.

Kind of a pity that my batch are not so tight, in fact I am closer to guys i played on age group teams from other schools than guys from my own team!

When you think of school sports - that is what it is in essence - sweat, tears and ultimately that bond that lasts a lifetime. Which is why I salute redsports.sg in putting the news and the community out there, to ensure that this unique sports culture in Singapore never fades away.

What i wish is a hark back to the good old days, where sports such as rugby was played at the padang, and where the old men sat, watched the game and supported it (they knew enough to even bet on it, which is a feat by today's standard). Even the uncle from the old SJI selling his curry puffs was a treat.

ok..enough randoms for now..but i'll be back
