Ultimate Frisbee

I've heard of ultimate frisbee years ago but when it comes to playing for real, yesterday was definitely my first time. =) And to those of you who don't know what ultimate frisbee is:
It is a limited-contact team sport (like floorball) played with a 175 gram flying disc, or known as frisbee. The objective is to pass the frisbee to your own teammate at the opposing end zone (such as in American football) where you'll score a point, and you're not allowed to run when the frisbee is in your hands. Each team will have 7 players in the field and substitution is only allowed between points.

So yesterday, since there were no courts available for floorball training, me & my teammates joined a group of Ultimate frisbee fanatics who plays at the field opposite from our usual floorball training court. And boy, they were good. X) They were tall (ang mor ma...), buff, fast and accurate. And us?? Short, skinny (some fat - hehe), not as fast as them, and we threw the frisbee with our eyes close. Hahahahahahaha. =) Not so teruk la.

It was definitely fun. Except for the part where we forgotten to warm up and down and ended up with sore muscles the next day. But nevertheless, it was superb. Now I know why dogs enjoyed chasing after frisbees. X) Hahahahahahahaha. 'Cause when I jump into the sky and grab the disc, it felt like I was flying without wings.
Wonderful feeling. =)
