There were many thoughts that filled my mind when my FT told us that we were going to visit delta senior school. I kept wondering what the school, students and enviroment is like over there and how i am going to respond to different situations. As it is going to be my first time visiting such a school, a kinda different institution than those i had visited in the past. I was nervous and excited as finally, i am going play basketball with my classmates.

We brought equipments and all prepared to play. When we finally arrived, it appeared totally different from what i had imagined. We all shared a very awkward entrance as there were stares coming from all directions. The students there look very normal, just like us. It felt okay actually after we arrived at the respective sports area. A few of them say hello to us and the way some of us reacted was quite funny. Like a shy.

The games finally begin. I was assigned to basketball although i wanted to try soccer. But when some of our classmates start playing soccer in the muddy and dirty field, i was glad i did not play. The rings and basket of the basketball court were very short, Gerald Goh and I kept trying to dunk. Like two idiots jumping around. When the teacher-in-charge blew the whistle, the game began. They started off quite relax. When we scored the first few points. Things started to get rough and aggresive. They took us to a higher level of gameplay but we did not shoved or push them back. They took the match too seriously. Although the result did not turned out as what WE ALL EXPECTED, we all had lots of fun. i got checked hard and pushed many times but they did not caused me any injuries. Their enthusiasm and never giveup attitude impressed me greatly. I even got reminded that i,myself, sometimes did not even try as hard as they did. Time do fly when we're having fun. Soon the game ended.

We sat down to take photos and debrief. When the debrief was over, we shook hands with the delta boys and pack up to leave. As we were leaving the school, I felt that as if i had just finish a basketball tournament. The time we spent there was great and meaningful. I hope we could visit them again some time.
