matoday (yesterday) we had our interclass vball competition.. for the gals, dat is. the guys played soccer... and yeah. we lost. to 2H and 2E. we probably underestimated 2E already.. and against 2H, regardless of which team is stronger, 2G vballers no doubt gave it their best shot. then again, i didnt blog this time to analyse the competition.

no.

in a way, we are all winners. 2G class, the subsitutes or reserves, or the main team players. all most importantly, we enjoyed the game really well. it's not abt the competition, it's abt the team spirit, esprit de corps, abt fun... abt enjoying each others' company. each time the ball is passed from one player to another, it just seems a link of friendship and connection is bridged. so, you get, a bounce, link, bounce, link, bounce, and over the net. it applies the same way for soccer. and of course, on top of that, the words of encouragement we give each other. it's just a word or two really. which makes the difference. which basically, on a larger scale, move the people and change the world. we were there for each other. okay, no doubt under the tensed atmosphere (hey, we practice for at least, in all 6hrs each player for this competition;of course, we have some expectations), we might, sometimes, miss the ball or u know, communication might sort of like break down. but no matter what, we never gave up on anyone. we trusted all our players, and supported them all the way. when they made a mistake, we don't have anyone boo-ing them. we have ppl, playing in the court, standing beside the court-lines (our dear supporters) saying things like" it's okay", "you can do it", "relax (or -lax)", "jia you", "go, come on ppl". and when they SCORE, man, dont we just cheer our lungs out. it's a shared victory, a shared moment of pure glory, just as much as if we didnt score, it was a shared disapppointment, a shared moment of justified anguish.

it was all shared. the exhaustion. the happiness. the anxiety. the pride.

so, u see. did we lose? on the surface, it is no doubt, that we didnt got onto the next round, but deep down, did we really REALLY lose?... yes, and no. heck no. we won something, something greater than just winning, something more spectacular and implausibly impossible than beating our opponents, something we which make our hearts swell with pride just knowing that we did it.

and most importantly, we did it together. Honestly, if losing won us something more worth than winning, well,
i say we won.

i say 2G won.

-this was from dear xinyi's blog.

obviously not written by me. haha. the world would come to an end if i were to write like that one day.

oh how i wish it would. LOL. just joking.

sigh, yesterday was interclass. AHHH!! i didnt belong in the team! why'd they put me in there?!

nevermind. i shall not brood over it. like xinyi said, we won! and i think we did lah. haha.

at least the guys did better. they won a match! thats very good already lah, i guess, considering our class. although our 'tarot' cards were not really 灵 anymore (lol those cards), but yah, we ARE still more musical afterall anyway. ok, i'm not making much sense now.
