a word of encouragement

okay people i'm back. for one post.
today was RGTT's B'div match, and i went?
and it's a cruel truth that we lost to cedar.
3-1.
we just couldn't take the impact. the team cried and cried. me and kim cried too.
what miss tan said was very true. we have very low AQ
cannot take huge blows. we care too much about our pride.
it's like, i came to the match with high expectations, and in the end,
it wasnt satisfactory, i have no idea why i cried.
is it because i have too much pride?
has RGS become such an elite school that cant even accept failure?

at the end of the match, at the very last ball, we just continued sitting down.
we really couldnt accept it.
RGS wins everything, it's like practicallly a must win right?
the first round, we won, it was a great start.
the second round, we lost. BY A TEENY WEENY BIT. seriously. until the last game we lost.
the third round, we lost too. they were too stressed out.
and the fourth round, the deciding match, was doubles (junze and someone else).
junze looked REALLY stressed. and we were all stressed too.
we lost 2 games in a row, and we were so devastated.
and at the very last game, the very last ball, after i saw cedar cheering and cheering,
we just stood there and cried.
okay, not me. the whole RGTT team. i sat there and watched them cry,
and it was like as if it was the end of the world for them.
junze was crying the most badly. she kept blaming herself for not playing her best
and losing a lot of points.
me, kim, yu-ling, hannah and xingle stood there and watched.
it was really heart wrenching. the worst scenario happened.

however, i must say that we have very good sportsmanship.
when we lost, RGS cheered hiphiphooray for cedar.
although i think they didnt hear.

when i just entered yishun sports hall,
all i saw was a HUGE bunch of cedar people and cheering so loudly.
okay, not very loudly. the two "sticks" they banged made the noise so loud.
in fact, i must admit that i felt rather intimidated.
when we won the first round, i was like thinking, aiya, sure win one.
in the end, cedar managed to turn the tables and beat RGTT.
i really admire their fighting spirit.
but i couldnt bear to see RGTT crying so badly, they fought so hard,
and yet the game has come to a cruel conclusion, we lost.
WE LOST. those two words struck me like stone. seriously.
i saw the cedar players group-hugging, and it really pained my heart.
of course RGTT fought a great match. we rule.

now it's time to say some encouraging words to end my long post.

JUN ZE, dont be sad, i watched you play, you lost by that little bit.
tomorrow will be better, dont be sad, you have many more years to fight for the championship.

RGTT, dont get discouraged, perhaps it's the time we'll have to accept the truth,
and be good sportswomen, and give other schools a chance. we'll fight back next year for the championship oh yeah?

CEDAR, i think you really played well. i admire you. i cant bring myself to hate you, as you was once the school that i was aiming for. you have good fighting spirit. dont be sad for us, it's time we have to get on our feet and start anew.

MY CEDAR FRIENDS, namely lifern, jolynn, qianwei, dorothy, pamela and singping, were you all at the match? i saw alot of cedarians but not you all. be happy, cause you've won the bet, but anyway, just telling you all, RGTT will fight back next year. do anticipate next time the two teams meet.

and lastly, i would like to say, GOOD JOB EVERYONE. LOVE YA ALL.
