After slugging it out at the courts, the few of us old men (and women) have triumphed on the basketball court. It was very much against all odds, especially when you consider the age of our opponents and the boundless energy they ALL seem to have.
Needless to say, it was clear why we called ourselves “Rocky”, in memory of the show Rocky Balboa, who came back from retirement (and old age) for a match of honour with the younger reigning boxing champion. And boy, did we have a ball of a time!
It was truly amazing, because we won every single match, and for our sweat and hard work, we won a $80 voucher at Vil’lage!
Why ball-less then? I left my basketball in the changing room after the match and didn’t realise it until much later at night! Almost as if to add insult to injury, I ended up with a severe back pain! It was so bad I could hardly walk properly and can’t sit down for long! In the end I decided I should take the next day off work, just to recuperate.
When I told my boss I strained my back and couldn’t make it to work, her sms reply was “U obviously think u r still 20! Ha. Sigh. Take care.”
Guess she’s right in thinking I’m crazy… I am from Rocky, after all!
