MJC BADMINTON 3RD YO~~~~~
I have to pen down my string of thoughts and emotions and keep this experience alive.
I've never gone so far in the badminton arena before and being in mj blessed me with that opportunity. Being able to play till national semi-finals, meeting the elites, cream of the crop.. Definitely an eye opener. If it was me a few days back blogging here, I feel embarrassed to say that I got thrashed by RJC. Maybe not just embarrassed, ashamed to my teammates, but shattered. I never got so badly manipulated on court before that my whole mind went blank. I felt so useless as a player and I wished I could just stop playing- perhaps just being a cheerleader at the sideline was a more appropriate task for me.
3rd in nationals. What a great accomplishment is that! But I would never have done it without wonderful teammates.. They are seriously too awesome to describe. Finals was too close a miss for us, but I know someone of higher authority up there is giving me a chance. I was clearly not ready, up to the standard if you were to witness my match with rjc. And of course I would want to deliver my point too if I was going to play such a crucial match, who wouldnt? Taste of victory is gonna be so so so much sweeter if I was able to contribute to that winning point.
Finals, leave it to next year. When I'm ready, when I'm stronger, when I'm swifter, when I'm faster, when I'm prepared to meet those players who mercilessly crushed any last hope of spark in me and left me dying in the court... BE PREPARED.

HEAD ON!
Hey there, you're in for a quick and random update if you happen to chance upon my long abandoned site. I've no idea where in the world have you readers lost track of my life journey but however messy this goes, I just want to rant.
Nationals have been on-going and we've proceeded fairly far. Now we're into top 4, and I've been training for 5 days consecutive my arms feel like it's running away from my main body. You know.. I don't ever think I've clocked more than 25hours of training in a week ever before in mj, or even still, in ahs. I feel so accomplished, but jaded seriously. Missed so many lectures and tutorials, especially my chemistwee, and goodness, test tmr on atomic structure and chemical bonding, which I'm half clueless about. I'd be extremely impressed and pleased with myself if i ever managed to pass my math and chemistry test tomorrow, if not, I guess I have to convince myself it's alright and I'd just have to study harder after nationals and do better for midyears. Well.. speaking of which, my nationals are ending only in 2 weeks time. And yes, that's exactly the time left before the june hellidays kick in!
Hahaha, that aside, I've been loving all the trainings although the after effect leaves me weak. I've got great team mates! ¶ 10:17 PM 0 Comments
