its time to let my emo self go away...
many things have happened, more than i can imagine in such a short period of time. and i think i've been through many ups and downs within this short period of time. haha and i've learnt quite alot of stuff, try to see things from different perspectives. i finally understand i hate to be lied to... i think this is part of growing up, going through many different events, and at the same time learn through these events.
we lost to mj, 3 to 2. haizz. the higher my hopes, the harder i fall. i really thought that we could get into top 6. anyway its not about losing. i know i didnt perform up to standard, but at least i know i tried. same goes for all my teammates. its really really ok that we didnt manage to get into 2nd round, i think im really happy cux i think its more of the process, the time we shared tgt, crapping during our short break, laughing together etc... im not very good with words, but this extract from shuli really depicts how i feel...
"It was a battle half won, with mixed feelings. It was to be a legacy, yet slipped from the fingers. It could have been tears and screams of joy, but now its just praying for the best. Our team has came a long way, from training since last year, all in line for this one competition. But we have done well, each playing with out utmost might and agility."
i really feel that way. my feelings are mixed now. i cant helped but feel that sometimes all i ever done as a captain of the girls team is to send smses to remind ppl about trainings and stuff like that. maybe i haven been a great leader. i have done nothing more than the others. but im really glad that the team's super disciplined and supportive (: i feel happy yet sad. happy cux i think we have fought hard. esp when we didnt give up our match against hc. although we knew chances of winning were tiny. i like the way we cheered, the way we screamed, the way we motivate each other. its sth i've been wanting all the while. its the spirit i've been searching for. :D i love nj table tennis girls! :D
anyway sorry to ppl whose mood i've affected on wed. i couldnt control myself and i think i really broke down on wed. i tried to fight back. but then the thought of this coming to an end saddened me. i couldnt control my feelings, couldnt control my tears. im sorry for feeling so sian diao! and very very thankful to everyone who have been so understanding... esp to ppl who have tried to make me feel better in one way or another. (: i really love all of you! and it feels good when someone is there to listen.
