kaki bangku?

**TADAA!! I came up with something that might keep me blogging for a while :D Since I don't really have anything to blog about because my life is pretty normal (:

I'll be dealing with the very very common nagging, insults and critism of your aunties, uncles and older sisters and I will start writing it from there. These are the opinions of a very brainless teenager so do not take it that harsh on yourself. I decided to do this because I want to keep my brain working otherwise it might malfunction after the coming holidays. haha. Which is 5 days away and I'm having my test now LMAO


I don't know why people (ge poh aunties, to be specific) have this mindset that teenagers MUST at least be active in a sport...

Just because teenagers are facing puberty at this stage doesn't mean that they have to be active here and active there. Typical grown-ups want to see teens excelling in school and sports, and continue to grow tall and pretty and handsome. If they see teens at home watching tv whilw eating cup noodles they would go,

'aiyah you ahh..you're at your growing stage now and here you are eating unhealthy MSG-infested food while watching Barney! You should go out and do some sports mah. Like that only can grow taller mahh...'

Sounds familiar? Maybe not to some of you but it was to me!

Then they would continue,

'You know, about twenty years ago ahh.. kids your age never stayed at home one.. they always went out to play and they come home all sweaty and stinky. See all of them are so active. I don't understand kids nowadays why only stay at home and do nothing'

So I have to clear things up... (:

I don't recall doing anything back when I was shooting (my height). I don't remember doing much sport and I spent most of my time at home, if not at shopping malls. I DID do maybe sports for 4 hours/month. haha. People said that I was lazy and all that and blah blah blah won't grow tall lah. They said that kids should try BASKETBALL because the sport needs you to run and jump and pant like a dog..

Yeah I did a little basketball back in the days. Didn't like it. Don't ask why I just didn't. So I stopped touching the orange ball at the age of 11.

OI OI OI The point is here that I didn't NOT grow tall. In fact, I grew taller pretty quick and I was one head taller than most of the people. NAAAHHH!! Proved ya wrong!!!

& So I quickly became a tall person..not really lah but I got height hehehe.



Then all the aunties or uncles would say,

'wah you so tall. Do you do basketball? State player ah?'

'How did you grow so tall? You play basketball ah? How often do you play? You know my son also plays basketball but he's still shorter than me...'


UUHHH!!! Correction, I DIDN'T DO ANY BASKETBALL AND I'M NO STATE PLAYER BLAH BLAH. In fact, I don't really like the sport. The only time I enjoyed basketball was when I was 10 or 11, because I re-watched Space Jam. haa


**And so the orange ball fame slowly died down. Then, bird feathers stole the spotlight!


After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, BADMINTON became a very famous sport because of our only medalist, Datuk Lee Chong Wei. Perhaps he gave hope and dreams to young kids like my brother. haha.

Nobah! I think badminton was pretty well known around Malaysia since I was born (: I remember playing with my neighbour when I was young. teehee.

Parents now enroll their kids in 'Master Badminton Classes' blah blah in hopes of making their anak the FUTURE Lee Chong Wei. So what? I have friends who join badminton classes since they were as tall as the supermarket trolley but none of them are as tall as me. hahaha. beat you at that. And some can't even fetch the shuttlecock LMAO still dare to say that they paid THOUSANDS for the Master Classes. The only training I had was with my popo. hahaha. And what? I can hit shuttlecock better than those kids.

NANANAHHH.

So I didn't do any exercise when I was growing.. did that affect my puberty?
NNNNOOOOO!!!!!


And there it is!!! You don't really have to force your kids do play ball or go swimming. I think it's good for a kid to grow happy (: I was happy when my parents didn't force me to do any sport. And I think that the key to growing healthy is happiness. If your kids are not really good in sports then let it be lah. Some people are born kaki bangku (bad in sports). What is there to force? And don't EVER lower your child's self-esteem. Don't let them hear that you are ashamed of them just because they couldn't kick the ball. If you do..well, NO WONDER YOUR KID WON'T GROW TALL LAH BECAUSE HE/SHE KEEPS HUNCHING WHEN YOU'RE SCOLDING.


**end :D


wait, another sport which parents are crazy about because they hear these players make good money. TENNIS!

I watch tennis on tv because got a lot of liang zai playing. hahahahaha

RAFA!!!

Eih...he's not that tall also whad... Chill aunties, the height comes from the genes. HAHA



P.S If ya havent watched any Tennis but you think Mr.Rafa here looks familiar perhaps you watched Shakira's Gypsy Music Video. He's the male lead.

I'm a gypsy
Are you coming with me?
I'm gonna steal your clothes
and wear them if they fit me

(:
