dodge ball i will, throw ball i won't!

yes, it is now 100% confirmed that i have a certain disability in my life. a simple, yet, equally disadvantageous disability which seems to handicap me when i need it the most. and like all other handicaps, i am and will not be ashamed of this imperfection of mine.

yes my dear readers, my name is Karen and i have a disability. i. can't. throw. a. ball. in fact, i can't throw, kick, catch, roll, tackle, dribble and [insert any other verb with regards to handling balls] a ball. it is that simple. i just can't seem to handle balls in general. sad really, considering my passion for sports and games. whenever i come in contact what that spherical object i either trip over it, slip on it (yes i once stepped on a ball and slipped), or miss it altogether.

no it isn't...

anyway, today i took part in a Dodgeball competition organized by the Young Entrepreneurs Society (YES) in my college. Now if there was a point given for every ball i dodged, i'd say we would've emerged champions. Because of my fear of flying spherical objects, i have developed a natural reflex to...well...dodge them. Unfortunately, contrary to the name of the game, that is not how it works. Points are gained when one can THROW a ball to the other team and HIT one of them. Points are also gained when one can CATCH a ball that's being thrown in one's way. so i guess you can presume what happened today la.

I just hope my team wasn't too disappointed with my horrendous display of throws and catches...or the lack of them. *shrugs*

haha, funny thing karen, i am in the same boat as you. I am also refrained from typing anything related to my views on Malaysia. Whats with English teachers and their husbands reading their children's blog. =(

Anwyay, in relation to your pose, funny thing that this morning, me and my colleagues were just on the same subject and one of the girl said, "i can't play with any balls" and we all broke into laughter.

Beware of your plurals girl. ;)
