Something unusual that happened that day

“What? You can’t be serious right? Nobody told us anything at all!” Everyone was shouting something along those lines, outraged at the apparent “invasion” of the school field. We watched helplessly as Victorians in their black-and-yellow jerseys streamed into the field, closely followed by the purple-wearing students of Queenstown Secondary, with the main, striking similarity being that both teams were wearing knee-high soccer socks.


Our school field was being taken from us, the Track and Field team, by the soccer teams.


This shocking reality only hit us when we watched the two soccer teams walk into the school field, the captain of our school soccer team jogging towards us to inform us that the school field would be taken over by the soccer team. All of us left in indignation, reluctantly “lending” the field to them for their friendly match. Getting ejected from the only place we could “officially” throw, we decided to improvise. After scouring through the school grounds, we improvised the grass field behind the hostel as our throwing grounds. The throwing started smoothly enough, the fence separating us from the field not hindering us unduly. The trouble only started when my senior, Zhao Chen, threw a javelin into a tree…

A blue javelin wedged in a tree

It was quite a comical sight, seeing a javelin wedged in between the branches of a 10 meter tall tree. The entire team gathered around the tree, starting up helplessly at the stuck javelin. After brainstorming for a few minutes, someone came up with the idea of hitting it down with various objects, namely other tree branches lying around, a volleyball and another javelin. The main flaw of the tree branches were that they were too short and thin, bouncing off the tree harmlessly. The javelins we threw didn’t fare much better. We gave it up when the javelins we threw threatened to wedge themselves in the tree together with the original javelin. However, it was the volleyball that saved the day. Aiming it at the javelin, we started throwing the volleyball at it, missing it a few times. The impact wasn’t enough on the first few tries as well even when it hit. We hit the jackpot when one of the members threw it directly up, hitting the javelin with enough force to knock it down. Everyone cheered, rejoicing at the return of the javelin, though it was quite an amusing sight, everyone getting so euphoric over such a small matter. Our delight slowly turned to annoyance as even more javelins got stuck in the trees. The training session slowly turned into a “javelin retrieval” session. Our coach even joked that we should complain to the media in order to get the government to build another field for us to throw in instead of using such a pathetic makeshift practice ground!


I have never seen a cat stuck in a tree in my entire life but following that particular training session, I can finally brag that I have seen a javelin get stuck in a tree. Not something you see everyday huh? It was truly an interesting and unusual event that happened during a monotonous training session. What a lot of hoo-ha over an overgrown metal toothpick!
