alright, everyone is waiting for me to post up this entry before anyone else blog about it.

Tuesday was our last game to be played for this season. We played against VJC, fighting for the 3rd placing. We had a long weekend though. No training. We're just going to play our hearts out. So we were chillingn away in the gym while waiting for mr khoo to come around. Hopefully the photos and videos from kiaboon's and bindy's camera will be up soon. Then, you'll know how much fun and laughter we really had!!! But, the best part of the day has yet to come. At an instant, while we were having team talk with mr khoo. We were laughing rather hard over something. I just didn't feel right in my stomach. Everything kinda went in this sequence...

" Hahahahaha~ hahahahah~ *PLAK!!!* "

That was a totally loud, solid, short and sweet fart. Smell-less, i swear. I was hoping that nobody recognised it as one. THANKFULLY, kiaboon had to point her finger STRAIGHT at me... WELL DONE. after that, everyone was laughing even harder, especially jingfeng!!! -shrugs- i became the joke of the day. Or was it more like joke of the team? Ugh...

The game with VJC was... I don't know what to say. I just felt that we don't deserve to lose. I guess that was our worst game in the whole season. No fighting spirit in general, no leadership from me too. I didn't conquear my own fear. I didn't shout at my teammates. My performance improved slightly from the previous games, but as a captain, I wasn't leading. The team seemed to have totally gave up. I realised how important is it that everyone truly play and work hard as a team. When you can see or even feel that one, just one of your teammates has already given up, it's ULTRA demoralising. Sigh... Lousy game. Thankfully, andrielle and athelyna were so sweet that they bought a flower for each of us in the team!!! LOVES!!! thanks to all the supporters who were there to give us your support as well:)))))

*sigh* Soccer guys also seemed to have lost the fighting spirit in them. They eventually lost to ACJC 1-0, commiting to a mistake in the penalty box which caused SAJC an own goal.
Hmmm. After watching the guys play, we went for half the team dinner at NEW YORK NEW YORK!!! -slurps- kiaboon, delia and i shared Giant Yankee Burger~!~! SUPER GOOD!!! hurhur... after dinner, delia and i was supposed to go study, but guess what?!?! WE FAILED AGAIN!!! LOL!!! we went back to marina square to shop around... wee~~

we have had positive impacts on each other's in one way or another. she pushed me and helped me gain confidence when i felt lost. i taught her (that's what she said) to let go, to see the beauty of friends and cherishing them. but still, i hate her. because with her around, everyday is full of fun and excitement. everyday is so wonderful. everyday is not a day without her. she fed me with good food from all around. she gave me gifts that made me go round and round. WORST OF ALL, WE CAN'T STUDY TOGETHER!!! LOL!! our plan to study out yesterday has failed real badly. after meeting up, we went to eat, to shop, to play. we did everything BUT STUDY. OMG... but, i have confidence that we will be great motivation for each other in terms of our academics!!! (so far, we haven't done so, even when we're in school.) don't worry delia, I LOVE YOU STILL AND ALWAYS!!! <3<3

God, i thank You for this wonderful friend who has displayed such great likeness of You. she has showed outpouring love and great mercy for her friends. Father, i pray that You will continue to protect her from spiritual attacks and the evil spirit. i pray that You will, one day, call out to her by her name, and she will receive Your salvation. thank You. Amen.

47-52. that was the final score for our game against RJC yesterday. 5 points difference. just as what has happened last year. what can i say? we really tried our best, but maybe it wasn't enough. great game by RJC. we admitted defeat. after all, playing basketball is not just about winning and losing, whic are parts and parcels of the game. i love basketball, especially TeamSAJC, because there's no politics in our team. we all play as one heart, one body, one soul. maybe we just didn't have enough composure. or maybe, it's God's will for the result to be like that. we teared, some of us. we felt like we could have done better, like how i'd feel. but it's over for now. finals are out of our reach no matter how hard we wanted it. Top 4. we answered to ourselves. VJC, they are our focus. that will be the last game all 12 of us will be playing together as. we were defeated by them once. and you know what? no more empty talking. WE'RE GONNA BEAT THEM.



I, as captain of the team, thought about each and everyone of us in the team. Ruth - NCHS. Kiaboon - NCHS. Jasmine - AISS. Magdelene - CGS. Bindy - Dunearn. Jing Feng - CCHS. Jesslyn - SMGS. Krist - SCSS(there's no basketball for girls here though.) Nicole - Kranji. Hidayah - Unity. Rachel - CHIJ(TP). Xia Yu - NCHS. all of us came from all over singapore. we met one another for the first time for most of us. we've never played as a team before, except for the J2s. we were a fresh team. we trained hard. we went through it all together. all the blood and sweat and tears. we've come thus far - Top 4. SAJC, who was deemed as the underdogs, came around bitting the tails of bigger teams like HCI and RJC. we faced up to the giants. (after all, HCI is made up of quality players, and RJC players mostly played in RGS for a few years.) although we may have lost in the game, we won the true spirit of basketball - to play as a team, with sportsmanship and respect. we put in our best efforts in every game that we could, and this result is God-given. we lost, but we continued to praise God. I thank God for this wonderful team He has granted me:)))))



basically, i haven't been playing up to my own standards or the expectations of my team and coach. i'm disappointed with myself, although many have come around telling me that i've played my best. i know there's more that i can unleash. stupid turnovers, mis-passes, all these grave mistakes are unforgivable. the reality for me is slowly sinking in. but i've got to be strong, for the team's sake, not for myself. for this game i play is not for anyone else but the team. in times i fear, but i know i've got to be strong. just in case if any of you think that i'm not sad about the defeat, i am. just like last year, i told myself i couldn't cry, at least not in front of the team. i'm there, as the pillar of support for the team. so yes people, you can still count on me. it's the last game, and i promise i'll do my best to bring back glory and victory for Saints.



To God Be The Glory. UP and ON, SAINTS!!!!!!

preparation was over. there was little we can do about it. one day of practice won't make much of a difference. after all, we didn't spend just one day to train for this one season. we trained for ONE YEAR. we won't give up that easily. we're here, semi-finals, after so many years. we are the underdogs, we're fighters. we'll put up a good fight and show the nation who's the better team. we are strong, 'cause we are SAINTS.


well, today was light training with video session and team talk. during the video session, someone commented that raffles's banner is so cool, which is in the design of "we (picture of an symbolic eagle shaped like a heart, meant to be LOVE) raffles". jing feng came up with the "we niao raffles" thingy. LOL.
before that, kiaboon, jesslyn, xiayu, jingfeng and i were in the com lab watching youtube. laugh until i wanna cry and cry can!!! stupid japanese videos and korean singing!!! HURR. watching it alone isn't as funny as watching it with the whole group of them. it was totally hilarious!!!

so sad. soccer guys lost in the penalty shootout today to MJC, AGAIN. it was 2-2 after overtime. heads up guys!!! PROUD OF YOU!!! hockey girls made it through the semis into the finals after beating ACJC 2-0!!! KUDOS!!!


we played HCI on yesterday. super close fight. we were taking the lead until the last 3 minutes. we fumbled and lost 44-40. but well, like what tricia said, it was by divine purpose. we had our lessons to learn to prepare even better for RJC's game:)))) delia and i went on a date for dinner after our game. wanted to go support soccer girls. but they ended their game then. the score was 0-0. they lost 6-5 in the penalty shootout to VJC. it's okay girls!!! you've put up a great fight!!!:)))) anyway, we went to old airport road to have dinner.


pig out session on a weekly basis:))))

nice chee cheong fun!!!

dumplings that are OH SO GOOD~

SEE SEE!! can't wait to pig out!!

HAHA. delia ordered this without realising how big this cup is!!!

today's training drained me out totally. 9am to 1pm. not easy too with mr khoo's long talk. but yes, through the long talk, learnt about a lot things. hmmm. did so much that i was aching all over. HAHA. weak ar. old already. like mr khoo had said, we played a bad game, but we won. tjc played a good game, but they lost. life's like that.




let's keep on going, keep on moving forward, keep on improving. keep the fighting spirit up, and bring all else down. never to be complacent, but be confident.
WE BELIEVE. WE WANT. WE CAN.
