(Pls read it as if you are giving a speech. Grammar is inaccurate.)
Good evening.
A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. After the game he asked her how she liked the game."I liked it, but I couldn't understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents," she said."What do you mean?" he asked."Well, everyone kept yelling, 'Get the quarter back!'"
Let me share with you a side of sports that many of you may not have realized. Alright, let me ask a question: how many of you would believe when I say that ‘sports is an immediate reflection of your entire life?’
Like it or not, when you play a match, you are judged constantly, by your teammates and the spectators. They don’t only look at how skilful you are. But more importantly, the way you conduct yourself in the match.
Under stressful conditions, you are challenged in all dimensions. Your physical fitness and emotional stability will be stretched to the limits! This is when you show your true character. No mask, no acting. Some will breakdown; some will lose their temper; some will take the game to themselves and forget about team effort.
It’s clear! Your true character is revealed. It may seem scary.
But on a more positive note, if you can look at sports outside of just winning and losing, learn from it, you will shine and be a better person in life.
Remember – there are some that will rise to the challenge and handle it gloriously.
Welcome to the world of sports!

First post!
This is the first ever post in blogspot! Tada.. A warm welcome to my 'memories'!
It's been a while since I wrote anything online. I've been asking myself, why bother? I finally convinced myself that memories aren't just stored in the form of pictures. But also words, which allows me to describe the emotions and exactly how the conversation went.
In this blog, I have decided to touch on certain issues which could be sensitive. They are 100% my personal viewpoint and I apologise for offending any individual as well as I plea to have someone correct me whenever I make a mistake. Certainly, I would be more than happy to have anyone just dropping by any comments.
Cheers and let's explore my 'Memories' together! :)
