chap 76.

thurs,
S.I.M invitational.
NYP sent out 4 teams.
S.I.M sent 3/4 teams.
SP sent 3 teams.
SMU 1 team.
a competition that i thought we will do NYP proud by getting champion,
also my first time leading the whole team thru out the whole day.
i was excited and nervous.
yinci and edwin were there to calm me down.
robin is always giving me courage.
the rest was showing me that they are ready to go in.

and off we go with a warm up match against daryl's team.
the both sides agreed to treat that game as a warm up match,
we were told not to play too hard on each other,
but things doesn't goes the way we want it to be.
they were fighting very hard.
they want to win badly,
so we decided not to put down our guard and play to our best.
we won them by 4 - 1.

2nd match,
we face S.I.M team.
we play with clearn mind and calmly,
thou there were some mistakes but we corrected it as we go on.
we won them 5 - 0.

3rd match,
we faced SP team 1,
Singapore Poly is the team we cannot afford to lose to.
we decided to play hard,
at the same time clear mind.
we won them by 5 - 1.

and we entered quarter final.
everyone played damn well,
but the juniors(yiling and hayden) seem to be quite lost thru out.
but they still played above average.
too bad i dun have enough concentration to tell them more things.

quarter final,
we face douglas team.
many seniors told us to go all out.
in order to let them learn and wake up.
although we went thru a hard time defeating own teammates in quarter final.

semi final.
we faced S.I.M 1st team.
before the match begin,
i was going around asking people to calm me down.
i was super nervous,
nervous till my tears were watering my both eyes.
i couldn't control myself.
there were thoughts in my mind during that period.
1.) calm down cs... calm down...
2.) i really could not believe i have bring my team till semifinal.
3.) tactics we can use against them.
too much things.
i really cant calm myself down.

great job to LB,
we get to offence first.
we hurdle up and said this, "let's go final together."

the match started,
the first point went very smoothly.
but the next point wasn't successful for us.
my boots split open and i can't cut properly.
so i have no choice but to change a boot. thanx to TY.
i was too nervous, i wasn't myself.
i even shouted back at Ben.
i din control the game well,
i din do my part as a captain,
i screwed the whole game.
i let my team down.
i let ben down,
i let NYP down.
time's up.
3 - 1.
and we lost.

my tears starts rolling down.
i cried not because i got a team like this.
i cried because i really screwed big time.
i cried because i really let NYP disappointed.
i cried because it was really really lucky for me to have a chance to lead a great team like this and we have got this far together, i really wanna say a big thank you to all of them.
last but not least,
after so much training i still cant perform well.
is this wat i really want? 3 years is very long.
i will have to stand up once again.
it's not over yet.
a big thanx to mark and alvin.
edwin and alex and everybody who were there for me.

next we face SP team 2(singapore poly better team),
this time round all of us were clear minded and great fighting spirit.
we can't afford to lose this round again.
this round is abit different from other games.
we played as if we are not in compy.
we don't bother about score anymore.
we win comfortably by leading them with 2 or 3 points.
7 - 4? cant remember.
we got 3rd.

i will never stop moving.
i will improve myself.
3rd is the number i hate now.
i want 1st!
i wanna bring NYP ultimate to champion!
