Baseball Flair

After watching several episodes of H2, somehow I was really inspired and wished I was a baseball player. I suddenly got so interested and drawn into this sport, but the sad thing is in Singapore there’s basically no-one I know who plays baseball casually as a sport. (I’m still wondering why?)

And then there’s also syncronised-swimming. Personally I think it’s pretty cool in my opinion, though I think in Singapore no-one does this as well, or to be more exact, I think no guys or girls would want to learn and take up this as a swimming sport/culture that super hard and also very tedious to train. (it’s considered underwater acrobatics for that matter) And quoting from a syncro-swimming based website, if you can imagine doing a 600m run, holding your breath and performing gymnastic moves on your way round, you’ll get an idea of how fit you have to be, just for syncronised swimming. That’s basically how hard it is, challenging isn’t it? Not to mention that after watching Waterboys the jdrama (with Yamada Takayuki as the lead too), I was pretty inspired to go back swimming too. I think I haven’t really went for a good swim since last year and I can’t really remember when was the last time I actually swam, which isn’t quite a good sign since God knows if I were to step into a pool of water now, will I still be able to float myself or drown myself in disgust lmao.

Anyway, I just finished Episode 6 of H2 last night (it’s released up till episode 7 now), and it was a super-climax episode, with the exciting concluding final match against their final opponent team Eikyo for Hiro’s team Senkawa during the Semi-finals. Hiro got hurt in his left eye at the end of episode 5, so in this episode you will get to see how he overcome his injury and won the match. I took some screenshots of some critical moments for you guys to visualise the match, so just sit back and enjoy the pictures.
