Oh what a beauty

I had been waiting for this moment for such a long time, it was stunning, breathtaking, with a rush of adrenaline to boot. The feeling can be related to catching a big fish, striking gold, winning the lotto or for some getting laid.  To me it felt like a whole heap of weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I had no pressure to contend with for quite a while.

I recalled the days when the people around me heckled me and would constantly say that I would never do it.  I was pretty much the black sheep of the group, since everyone who encountered the opportunity, did it without hesitation, and it seemed that it was like a reflex reaction.  But whenever I had that chance I seemed, to either fumble or drop the chance.  You can practice all you want or play it out in your mind, but when that moment does come, it never plays out to how you wanted to.

Here I was though, with the opportunity presenting itself once more.  It seemed to take an eternity, pretty much like a slow motion replay.  Like those replays you see in sports highlight reels, and how you can exactly see what the players were saying or the spectators eg: “oooohhh ssshhiittt”.  As it was coming down, I had both hands ready and within a blink of the eye, I had the ball.  A roar came from myself and my teammates, I held the ball up high as if to show my tropy and testament to what I had just accomplished. 

Ok, maybe I went a little too far for a cricket catch but considering an asian doesn’t normally play cricket, I just had to blog about this feat.
