every year. for the past 6 years. i ask myself why, why do i put myself through them. waking up so early. spend the whole day in the sun (or mud and rain in many cases), getting totally burnt, totally tired. and dragging myself out of bed on monday morning.
with every year, the process became harder and harder. especially this yr. i felt myself dragging myself across the finish line: sept 18 and 19. for a long while, i told myself that i'll take a break from frisbee. dunno how long, but for a while at least. i said that yesterday afternoon after when xinhong asked me, in the evening when jeremy asked me.
now that its truly over, a part of me, the weird part wants to be there again next year!!!! what's wrong with me?! i just cannot put it down. and that's what been getting me into "trouble" these past years, unwilling to take a break!
2005: what an eye opener.. i was young and fit then.. hur hur..
2006: sprain ankle caused me to miss one of the biggest game yet..
2007: worst fields yet...
2008: first time as a chuckie! though those are my ex smu teammates.. haha.. dont have photos..
2009: now... with the chuckies..
2010: how time flies...
in what is a new experience, i had my first concussion last thursday. chasing after a disc, i crash into someone coming in from my blindspot. i had my faiir share of collisions, but somehow, this one was different from the rest.
the pain soon wore off and i picked myself up and continued to play. i soon realized that i have no idea what i was doing and what happened during the entire training
i sat down and tried to recall what happened. for a long while, there was nothing. slowly, i started to rem the things before the collision. however, till today, that half an hour after being knocked, it seems like it will remain a blank for the rest of my life.
i asked debbie if i was walking around aimlessly while playing that short while after, but she says i was quite normal. so it seems like i just cannot rem things.
symptoms of concussion that may appear in the days/weeks after and have appeared.
giddyess - a slight one that comes and go
headache - a slight one that just... appeared today
hopefully that's it.. nothing more..
