So it ended. Approximately a year's worth of sweat, pain, endless complaints, muscle aches, an everlasting thirst for water, sprinting, the HDB block next to our school, tears, mad laughter, crazy cheering and screaming... All that has culminated into today.

We may have lost today's battle against Hwa Chong, but we won the war. Does that make sense to you girls? There is absolutely nothing to be sad/regretful about, because we really did it. We "took it out". Today was a beautiful game, absolutely well-played. How else do you explain how we made them run, made them struggle to get the ball back? How else do you explain the interceptions, the lovely shots?

No, not luck certainly. Every ball that went in, was almost a clear shot. Every shot was taken with the utmost care and focus. Every ball intercepted, was done with passion.

I really love the way BBGT played today. As Miss Yau said, we played like true basketball players. Wenting fought for the rebounds and assisted in many of the passes. Shona ran like nobody's business and blocked so many balls. Angie fought every second she was out there on court. Siping was absolutely calm and clearheaded, and she was very firm and strong today. Zhiying got in the first ball for Nanyang, and she really brought out every bit of her awesome defense. One Zhiying=2 of us, when it comes to defense. Ailing pounced for every rebound and brought out her speed. Elaine really took great care in every ball that she got in today, and she must've stolen many balls from HC. Sophina fought, she really fought. If there was anyone on court who really fought every second it would have to be Sophina. Anabel was so fast today I almost couldn't see her, and even though she was only on court for awhile, she made it count real good. And as for the rest of us, we cheered every second, we screamed till our throats hurt and our eardrums nearly exploded.

WE MADE IT GIRLS!

Top four seemed such an impossible dream just a few months ago. But today, we can proudly say we made it.

Cliched as it sounds, it honestly seems as if it was yesterday that we were counting down from the 90+ trainings we had to go for till A divs were over. We groaned and whined when we had to go for trainings, almost died during the camp, when we had to go for PT at 6am in the morning...

Last two trainings next week, and I really am looking forward to it.

Anyway, after the match, Zhiying, Ling Hui and I had to go back to school to take the Fund Management quiz. The quiz was siao lah. I think I'm going to be one of the bottom two, hahaha.

Now I'm wondering if I should participate in the long-distance running heats tomorrow. It's bi-annual, and its like my last Sports Day. But I don't even know if I can run anymore lah. Zzzz.

Yay, I'm very happy today!! :)
