Monday Blues... By: The Boss 4 comments

With an aching body and sleepy mind...Good morning, everyone!

Bet a few of you out there are going through the same thing as I am...man, I had such a fun time in rangers yesterday that it hurts and aches so much! :) Yup, its been a while since we had such crazee fun under the sun, literally! For those of you who aint too sure what we're talking about, I'm referring to the latest high-action sport that slowly catching up in popularity among our youths...FRISBEE! Haha...

Yea, I know what you're thinking...many of you are going like what??? Of all games??? Haha..well, that's exactly what I thought when we started to introduce this game to the youths and rangers. Its like...sort of a beach game eh? These days, its not all about throwing the frisbee from one end to the other, played between a few fellas. Over the years, this game has evolved into a physical, challenging, high-action sports...as experienced by us yesterday! :) Man...there were crunching tackles, high jumping, mud kicking, body tackling, etc etc...Awesome fun, I'm telling you!

After loads of complaining from the rangers about how hot the malaysian sun is, and how muddy the field is...we finally found a spot that's playable...as in 90% mud-free and dry grass. Kids these days are getting too pampered, I must say! :) After all the pre-match talk and boastings, it was time to get down to business. The E-rangers we're divided into 2 teams, a bit one-sided I must say...on one end we had the so-called stars...the Kota Kemuning gang and some school basketball players, and on the other team, they had the secret weapons...the Commanders! :) Well, I gotta say...age is certainly catching up. These kids can certainly run like wild chickens...

Even as the game got underway...the Malaysian summer was certainly taking its toll on us. It was draining out there! Physically and mentally...Daniel Raj was the biggest casualty of the day. Running to catch the frisbee, he failed to take note of the tree branches growing out of the ground in front of him...and next thing we know...he's out! Lying motionless on the ground, many came forward and offered to give him CPR...but to their disappointment, he got up, caught his breath and was off and running. Haha...poor fella. Lesson of the day - Always look at what's ahead of you! Daniel had his 2nd tumble of the day in less than 10 mins...this time it was courtesy of The Boss...haha. I call it body contact! My buddy ended up taking a dip in a puddle of mud-water...I told you its a physical game!

At the end of the day, as expected...the all-star team claimed their well-deserved victory. The final scoreline read something like 11-6. It was a good performance by both sets of players...everyone giving their all and sweating it out for the sake of the team. That's what we want to see! And when the full time whistle was finally blown, it was handshakes and smiles all around. Fantastic to see the game played in good spirit. After a dreaded walk back to church from High School field, it was time to say goodbye.

This time the victory song belongs to the winning team...but I can assure you, the next time around, it'll be a whole different story...:) Enjoy the win, while it lasts!

On behalf of the commanders and rangers of Selangor #6, we'd like to take this opportunity to wish our beloved Cmdr. Lilian a biggie biggie Happy Birthday! May God continue to use her to bless and shape the lives of young women all around her, for His kingdom! God bless, cmdr! Come back soon...the rangers miss you!

Have a fantastic week ahead...as for me, its Yoko-Yoko time! Arghh...

God bless!
