I am a kaki bangku..

Sports... This is one of the field that I feared the most. I am one of those kaki bangku who doesn't know how to kick a ball not to mention to score a goal. Shame.. Shame.. This is indeed one of my fear factors. It is very humilliating when people are asking me about football; the most reputable gentlemen's game. I know nuts about it. I ended up feeling really bad; disgraceful and discreditable.
I was from the stadium just now. Normally, I went straight to the hostel after jogging for 3 or 4 rounds (for the meantime). And it was out of my evening routine. Just now however, I took a different route. I went to the sports arena and there I was sitting from a distance watching and observing people showing of their skills; kicking, dribbling so forth. It seemed like people were enjoying themselves playing futsal, basketball, squash and volleball.
U cant imagine how intensely I wish that I could be anyone of them. Deep down, I have the feeling to just walk into one of the courts and ask them whether I could join them. But, I have no gut realizing that I am a kaki bangku.
I just find no fascination at all in sports. I did try to play football with the guidance of my closest friend. I admitted that somehow I found it delightful. Once in a blue moon, ironically, I also found myself enjoying the good football or badminton or any other matches. But, it is momentary.
I would rather keep mum when the focus of a conversation is sports-related. Even worse, I would slowly drag my foot away. Not having A SKILL in any sports makes me feel less manly. I found myself incomplete, imperfect and curtailed!
Anyhow, I have to sweat my dilemma out. That's why, I make jogging a habit. I go to the gym intermittently too. Would those be considered as a part of sports after all?
