Correct me if I'm wrong to say this, but I personally think that the majority of the chicks in Singapore are just plain lazy when it comes to doing sports! I'm not saying all mentality of gals are like that, but i always did wish that there would be a chan in mindsets!
Was just talking abt this issue of the lack of gals taking part in recreational sporting activitie with one of my girlfriends. I guess the both of us pretty much had the same opinion - we felt that Sg gals needed to change their way of thinking and participate in sports not just for the sake of losing weight and getting fit. I mean there's always so much more to it; they need to see the fun side of it, just taking a lil' time off to meet up with some mates and have some fun. Team sports are great, but look ard, do u really see such stuff happening here??? *shakes head* Well, i dun think so!!!!
I mean what's so hard abt meeting up at some open field to play a game or two of touch rugby, ultimate frisbee, or if that's too 'rough and guy'for ur liking, netball and badminton are surely other options out of the tonnes of sports one can choose from! I really dun get it, for one, the number one excues is "I HAVE NO TIME" .....face it, if u really wanna do anything, u are bound to be able to fork out some time to play sports! It's just the matter of whether u want too or not!
I have tried countless times, usually failing, to ask my friends to meet up for a game or two, or just some leisurely swim or jog.....NO ONE WANTS TO DO SPORTS WITH ME!!! Now how sad is that! 'LAZY' 'TIRED' 'NO MOOD' 'OTHER PLANS' "GOING OUT WITH FRIENDS' 'GOING OUT WITH BF' ' I WANT TO SLEEP' ........sighz, i can even offer to meet then at their void deck, and they would still turn down my offer! * druming my fringers on the table*
I really dun get it at all....ok fine, Sg weather is obviously not the best to do sports, but come on, it ain't that bad! Anyway, once u're so into the game,u hardly think abt how hot and sweaty u are! I guess after having been abroad and having seen their way of life and culture, I sometimes envy how they take life as it comes and live each day to the fullest....they enjoy their life. Here in SG, i think most ppl take each day as it goes as a torture! I really dun like to compare but i can't help it in this case.....in Aust, ppl try to find the time to meet up and play sports, i simply just love the sporting culture there! It's like a part of their life, ppl of all ages, young, old, of all genders.....there's no barrier stopping them, and i dun see how it can be so different here in Sg. Biased viewpoint....well, i think not......
Well till then, my friend and I will attempt at trying to get more ppl to play this yr end when i come back. Hopfully we'll get tp play a few games of netball and some other sport....
