A journey I wont forget
Well, it has come to an end, maybe earlier than expected, but no regrets. The tears shed wasn't a sign of weakness or an indication of regret, but quoting some people, it's "Because i felt that our team deserves so much more" and "because of how much we treasure." With that, here's a note to some individuals and groups of people that walked along this journey.
To Stella,
You've been a great captain whether you feel it or not. Its been great seeing you improve and grow as a player and a leader. The journey has not been easy but it has been a real joy playing in the same team and line as you. You've led the team well, you've been a great player. Thanks for everything.
To Jing Xuan,
The fire in you when you're passionate for the ball and the game is something that can definitely not be missed and is something that never fails to spur many around you, including me. It's a fire that burns within, the hunger for the ball, the hunger for the goal. Quoting Mr Loke, you're too hot for the opposing defenders to handle. Keep that passion going!
To Kelly,
You're the best defender I've ever played with and seen, not because of skills but the drive and passion that speaks volume. Many things I can say but I guess most importantly, both of us know, not man's applause but God's approval. You've shown tremendous strength and determination through the years n months (clear evidence: the goal you scored today) that didnt seem possible to have come from you, I know and I think those ard wld know, it can only be from Him.
To Wu Yue,
You have demostrated much determination through the months, especially when things got tough and much humility in your willingness to learn and strive to do better each time. Many more pleasant memories can be created by you, remember that nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.
To Line 1,
We knew and experienced the pressure on our line when we went into each friendly and nationals. Sometimes we rose up to the challenge and sometimes we didnt but it has been tremendous joy playing together with each of you. Remembering kelly's previous post on our line, " we almost couldnt play together, but the car couldnt run on 3 tyres alone...acl injury is terrible but cw is playing again. i think it means alot to the line." Just want to say that each one of you mean alot to me and Im honoured to play a part as the 4th wheel. I still believe what Mr Loke said in the letter..All stars, all the way! :)
To J1s,
It's been great seeing all the effort and committment that all of you have put in through these few months. Though I knew you all for maybe only about 2,3 months, its been a pleasure of mine to train and play with you all, it warms my heart to see all of you willing to be on the bench and not playing cause you all trust Yan and believes its for the better of the team. Hope that this year's national has been a great experience for you. I see great potential in each and everyone of you and I have confidence that VJ Floorball girls will return much stronger next year. Sometimes the way up is the way down, perhaps this year was the road heading down but more importantly, I know you all will be heading upwards next year, and I look forward to seeing you all in the finals next year. The trainings will be hard, but don't give up, all of you can do it and win the championship back next year!
To J2s,
Its been almost 1 and half years playing together and with no doubt, this is the best team I have been a part of. Starting from nothing, not knowing floorball, not knowing each other to having a passion for the sport and a team spirit so strong, I could not ask for more. Though on the outside, all the trainings seemed to have amount to nothing without a placing or trophy, nothing is lost but all is gain. We've gained skills, tactics, fitness and most importantly, team mates/friends. As a team, we've been through tough times and not gained much tangible results, but to me, it doesnt matter at all. We gained true friends, we gained the respect of the other teams in the tournament. To me, thats all that matters at the end of everything because these cannnot be lost unless we choose to let them go. And I won't.
To VJ Floorball girls,
We came, we fought and we proved that we're not a team that can be underestimated because we played as a team in the best way possible, outstanding, outperforming, out having fun.
Last but definitely not least,
To my Father,
What can I do but thank you for everything, none of these would have been possible without you. You helped me to stand up after a fall, after a bad injury and sustained me to the end of the season. You gave me strength when I was weak, you gave me hope when it was bleak. Though we didn't make it through and it really hurts, I know You have a reason for everything. I may not know it now and neither the team, maybe those who prayed together earlier today are questioning but I pray that one day they'll all believe and see the reason. I know that day will come.
Mirrored here may my life tell of Your story.
My utmost for Your highest, my best for Your glory.
