Netball




Dear TomHa,
Doing history papers is always fun... Never the brain draining, mind blowing stuffs that engineering problems bring. Perhaps the only drawback is that the fingers always feel like they are breaking after the paper, which to my chagrin, is still hurting at this point. Whatever, had exams for History and Sports today. It was a fun paper, although I am still hitting myself for not being able to write fast enough to include my specialty on China and Taiwan cross straits relationships through the lens of sports.

Something which I think the whole world had already known before I started revision yesterday. Netball as it is, is a form of sports with all the rules written to make sure that the girls that were playing in it conform to the victorian ideals expected of a woman. That the court was sectioned as such is because, during those days, women were expected to be weaker and thus, the sectioned court is to prevent them from dying of exhaustion. Also,that you cannot dribble from one end to the other like men's basketball and that you have to pass the ball within 3s or was it 3 steps is to prevent any of the ladies on court from becoming a star player, as Victorian Ideals of a women dictates that the women must not make a spectacle of herself! Haha.. pretty interesting eh?

Ok now for Geography.. I hate MCQs...
