We went jogging at the stadium next to the hougang gym on Sunday. Think it's the 1st time I stepped into a stadium since JC/ Uni days!! It was quite a refreshing change. Was telling Mr Mok that the stadium seems smaller now... track doesn't seem as long and dreary as before.
Anyway, there was an ongoing soccer match when we arrived and it was a all girls soccer game! They are really quite good I must say. Some had rather accurate passing and crossing skills. So it served as quite a good entertainment during and after our jog.
As we were watching the match, Mr Mok asked a question, " Would u encourage and allow your daughter to join such a soccer team, esp if she has a passion and talent for it?"
I was "... ..." for a while.
To be frank, I would scream "NO!!!". The fact that most of the gals had super short hair and some were rather tomboyish looking didn't help. And soccer isn't exactly feminine ya. Though I love sports, but somehow, to imagine my daughter ... hmmm ... just different.
At the end, I gave a superly model answer: "No. I wouldn't encourage her to pick up such a sport (thumbs up for volleyball, netball, basketball...etc), but if she really has the passion and gift for it, I would still support her."
Really meh?!! I dunno...but this is definitely how I would like to be as a parent in time to come.
Chim...
Back to the game: the gals were really quite good... esp the short hair no.15's corner crossing!! She's cool!!
What a nice Sunday we had. =)
