Alright! 2 weeks of school has past, another 50 weeks to go. oh pooh!
It's been a rather relaxing week, nothing much happened. We just got to know of our fixtures this friday, competition for us starts in two weeks. Feeling excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because i hope that the competition would start sooner, but nervous because i am desperate to do well. After all, it's our last year playing for Nanyang, our last year playing as B div', the last year to prove ourselves that we are just as competent as our seniors.
It's been a ruddy long journey for all of us. the sec four volleyballers. we have started out knowing almost nothing about vball(with the exception of wei ting). we played under the scorching hot sun for hours, doing tedious and exhausting drills. we endured lectures and glares from dorothy and our sec four seniors then. there were times when we all felt like giving up, but what made us hang on was our passion for volleyball. and the bond that has built up steadily when we encouraged each other to be the best that we can be.
we have experienced it all. losing to bukit panjang when we were sec two almost spelt t-h-e e-n-d for all of us. but we took it in our stride, and won the remaining matches. even though we did not make it into the nationals then, we were motivated and even more determined to do better the next year. And then the big test came when we were sec 3. It was a tough fight for positions in the main 12, especially since our seniors were definitely in a better position, having had more experience and training times than all of us. some managed to squeeze in, some did not. some were jubilant, others were despondent. but we stuck through it all together. encouragements were passed, be it to those who did not make it into the team, or those who did. we were a team of our own.
Then, towards the end of last year, dorothy decides to leave. we were going to have a new coach. Not knowing what the future holds for us then, we were all frightened and disheartened. But we braced ourselves for whatever there is to come. From being innocent sec ones who knew nothing much about volleyball, competitions and true friendship, we have grown and matured to become determined and strong players. what we have shared is irreplaceable, nothing that money can buy. And i would never trade in this experience for anything in the world. you guys were the best pals, best teammates that anyone can ever ask for.
So I guess it all comes down to this moment. the moment we have all been waiting for. to win. And to win it all.
.school.
school has re-opened for about a week now; it sucks as usual. with the two recess thing now, the day seems awfully long. i think it's a terribly dumb idea. whenever i pass the canteen, it takes a lot of determination not to succumb to the temptation of pecking. (by the way... pecking, according to my friend, means eating something for the sake of eating and not because you are hungry) oh pooh!
Anyways, caught kung fu hustle today. it was quite alright. probably cause i was in a rather grumpy mood, i didnt really find it that funny. wei ling, being the very emotional one, sobbed CONVULSIVELY when stephen chow(the male lead) threw on the ground this lollipop that was given to him by this mute female girl. sigh! so horribly embarrassing! ha ha!
Alright. that's about it for this week. oh ya. we got this horrible math teacher this year. she's so ruddy lousy! she goes extremely slow and i think that at the rate that she is going, by the mid-year exams, we will not even be half done with the syllabus. shanni's being very difficult this year. english lessons are such a bore. cai is irritating as usual, always blabbering about some chinese appreciation shit that i cant give a hoot about. blinking hell.
im a grumpy, GRUMPY old lady. argh! shall stop cursing, dont want to be like petty boy would i. :(
