officially ended!

yeah!
managed to come here to blog about these few days!
this season has OFFICIALLY ENDED!
it was a mixed feeling though....

monday it was the semi-finals.
all of us were confident that we'll win vjc and make it to the finals, against HCI.
it was so unexpected that our captain came with a stiff neck, and she couldnt play.
coach was optimistic, but he was probably worrying secretly.
cause i guess he doesnt want it the affect us.
it was a tough fight without our cap.
1st 2 sets we lost, and knowing that we couldnt lose the 3rd one, we fought back.
won the 3rd & 4th sets.
last set was the crucial one.
we were at the advantage, yet, vjc caught up with us.
and when the referee blew the last whistle, we cried.
it's over, we're not getting in to the finals.
our hearts filled with guilt and disappointment.
we've disappoint our coach, mr tam, principal, the school, and all the teachers who supported us.
all of whom expected us to be in toa payoh sports today, fighting for champion.
all of us broke down into tears.
it's so heartbreaking, and we felt the pain.
really, the feeling was indescribable.

next day, we thought we had training, as planned.
yet, coach told us to go home and rest.
he told us not to think too much since it's already happened.
life's like that isnt it?
full of surprises and many unexpecteds.
it's no point dwelling on it anymore.
some cried again, while coach was talking.
after that, we're supposed to go home, yet we doesnt seemed willing to barge.
we hugged each other and our vice-cap talked to all of us.
encouraging us to play well for the match on wed(ytd), which is the 3rd and 4th position one.
she said she'd saw a stronger team ytd during the match against vjc.
and uncontrollably, our tears start to fall.
we're crying again, and it's really really heartbreaking.
we believe that we shouldnt have lost, it shouldnt be like this.
yet, we could do nothing about it, besides feeling the pain.
真的很不甘心，不甘心我们就这样输了。

wed(ytd) was the match against AJC again, for the 3rd and 4th position.
it was perhaps a pretty easy match since our captain was able to play again.
yep, we won and got 3rd.
was supposed to go for lessons in the morning, but went for team breskfast instead.
A bought us an apple each, and we're all in a better mood.
training in the morning was weird, after that match.
it was not same feeling anymore.
after the match, our season was officially ended.
it was supposed to be today @ TPSH, but maybe lady luck was not on our side.

today, left class early than other to go toa payoh sports hall early.
girls' finals started soon after we reached.
HCI vs VJC.
we should be the ones there.
we should.
HC sort of trashed them, 3-0.
then, it was the guys match.
yup, they played well too. =)
against tjc, and yep, 3-0.
and we took lots and lots of photos today. shall find some time to upload them again.
after the prize presentation, was hanging around, taking team photos.
principal saw us tearing, cause we're damn damn sad we couldnt play in the finals.
he came to tell us life's like this, it's over and told us not to think too much.
it's really... no one can understand how we'd felt.
had our traditional team dinner after that.
yep, buffet again. =D
it's @ clake quay this year! Merchant court i think, ha.
a BIG THANK YOU TO MR TAM!
and coach bought his professional camera, and yup, another round of taking pics.

everything has just come to an end. vb.
it's hard to create a strong relationship, it's harder to maintain it, especially with each of us busying with our own stuff.
we've created a strong bond amongst the team, and yes, hope it doesnt fade with time.
it's just a short 1 & a half years with j2s and half a month with the juniors.
and it's amazing that we're so bonded.
there may be times when we're unhappy with each other, yet, we always manage to patch back, to stay together.
time flies, and yep, caught us all in surprise.
we'd laughed together.
we'd cried together.
we'd cheered together.
we'd dine together.
we'd been crazy together.
we'd played together.
though we may have lost the champion title, that we'd yearned for, all these made us who we are, to be so bonded.
it's sad to leave, but there's a need to move on.
but it's definitely going to be the most unforgettable team ever, yes, ever.

been receiving smses from my teammates, and it really touched me.
it touched me, and i feel like crying again.
no matter how sad we may feel about not winning the champion, i'm even more sad that it's the end.
it means we'll be seeing less of each other...
i'll miss them, miss our hugs...

the team had definitely coloured my jc life, and i'm very sure of it.
