Post 5: A moment spent alone doing something I enjoy.
Thursday, January 28, 2010
I play many kinds of territorial/invasion sports like basketball and soccer. Though I enjoy these sports, I admit that I am not very good in them. I normally play defense or keeper in soccer as my reaction, accuracy and power is not good enough for a striking position. However there is a sport I enjoy which does not involve striking or defending, which is a individual sport that I love, pool or occasionally called billiards.
Pool is the game where u have a cue and you hit the balls into the pockets with another ball. Everyone knows that. Pool is a sport where there is no attack or defence, in turn, people can't all snatch for a position, making them seem selfish. In pool, everyone and everything is equal.
I first learnt how to play pool when I was 7 at a restaurant with a pool table there for recreation. When I first tried the sport, I felt the exhilaration when I first pocketed my first ball. Ever since then, I fell in love with the sport. My pool skills improve over time when I go overseas to Bintan or some other resort which have recreation rooms where there are pool tables. I would frequent the pool tables during the holidays as I practically loved the sport. However there was a period of time where I stopped playing pool for quite some time as I could not find resorts with pool tables when I went overseas, therefore my skills have rusted.
Actually, I personally think that pool can help me in my studies, more specifically in physics as I have to calculate the angle where i have to hit the ball for it to slice the ball in order to go in. Pool is a very special sport as it it involves the mind too.
There are times when I go alone to pool parlours to play pool for fun. It is a form of relaxation for me as the place is very peaceful but I am often advised not to go by my parents as they think it is a very 'messy' place, full of gangsters and sort. I guess they will never understand why I love pool.
will you love me back?
