HKUST...

I realized that I have not written about this trip yet! Opps. My bad.

Well, it was an amazing experience. Team NUS went to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology during July this year. It was for a handball tournament. I was very excited initially as that was my first overseas handball competition.

The standard over in Hong Kong was high, of course. Some universities were totally awesome. Tongji University from China was the best, in my opinion. They were tall, strong, fast, and more aggressive then the other teams. Their goalkeeper was fantastic too. I realised that after watching them play, and after I came back to Singapore and watch handball games, I could not get as excited anymore. When I was over there, I was totally captivating by the skill, grace and prowess that some players possessed.

Of course I made some friends, the people from National Taiwan University left the greatest impression. Tsinghua University pampered us with gifts. I was on cloud 9. Really. It's like people coming together in one place with different backgrounds, but with the same passion. I have seen guys shed tears over there. Unbelievable.

I want to go for this competition again next year.

See you in Macau,
