its been more than a month since i last went to sunset bay. imagine me getting teased for being so fair this 2 weeks that i went...almost drove me crazy...haha. and it totally sucks to see myself playing badly but im not too bothered by that as i know it will eventually come back. it is already coming back slowly during my last few matches of 2 on 2 today. something else bothered me deeply....
so many things have changed. sunset bay is shifting to east coast in around 2 months time. a few more couples popped up among my frens. more importantly, frens that i played volleyball with through my almost 3 years of volleyball life were notably missing. frens that i have inexplicable on court communication with. i saw one of them today who went to sunset bay to play soccer with his grp of frens. had a short chat with him and found out that he had quitted beach volleyball coz of a recent injury. he went on to say that volleyball is only for fun and its not worth getting injured so frequently for it which will affect his work. he even said its time to change a new sport now that sunset bay is shifting. looks like my hope of entering this year quiksilver competition with him is now gone. we had entered a competition previously and after getting into the 2nd round, i fell sick the next day and couldnt make it there. so after finding 2 better female teammates i had hoped for a top 4 finish in the biggest beach volleyball competition this year. suddenly my beach volleyball life seems so uncertain. will there still be a place to play after sunset bay shifted? will they still have enough courts over at east coast? will i ever find such vball khakis that have the same high expectation of ourselves, fighting spirit and teamwork? even though there are still many ppl to play with, its different when i win games with them knowing we had come to this day together. will i still be playing beach volleyball?
