Sukan Tara


As expected, we were assigned to complete 200m as our first set of the sports. This is insane, stupid and a tremendous torture for all of us. Running 200m as our warm up? No wonder yellow house loses every year.

Well, 200m was quite easy for all of us. I was in the first round, or first group of students, who runned and when the whistle was blown, I was not ready. But gladly, I was the first to finish the run! Yeah!

But, here came the bad news, most of our legs were weak and trembling, owing to the huge and painful torture, one which many people perceived and agreed as the worst warm-up a person could do. The next set was high jump, which most of us failed to jump, thanks to our weakened leg. Asking us to run when our legs were trembling? No matter how you deadened your leg, you still can't jump because they were still under stress.

Before our legs gained back its stability, we had to complete 100m. Another painful stress, and as a result, only 6 of us got the marks.

Then, while our legs were still weak, we had to have long jump, and the standard set by the teacher was insanely high. As a result, only 2 of us reached the target - barely.

Last stop, shot put. The metal ball was expectedly heavy. The heavy load was a burden and therefore not many of us managed to reach the target.

The sheer happiness felt at the beginning of the event was quickly replaced by the massive disappointment later. No much thanks to the school who always scheduled us to complete 200m as a warm-up.


Then later, tug-of war. What to say? All of our representers were either lanky or pasky looking or emaciated....Haiz...
