"We din win the silver, we lost the gold."
The day had come. Our team fought hard. We were not underdogs. We played well. But it jus din end well. We let in a lousy goal. The win wasn't magnificient for them. But the bottomline is we lost. got the 2nd place... The guys played well thou, it was a good fight. The VJ guys were good. But our guys proved to b better. They did us PROUD. My buddy did me proud. Nice, swift reverse shot on goal.
But in our hearts, we all are the champions... Really... =)
I was happy. Happy at the way my team fought hard. We had that high level confidence till the very last whistle. I wanted to leave the pitch w/o a regret. All the way from the warm ups... i've nva felt this serious b4. In the end, before i left the delta pitch, i turned back, i still feel some sort of regret. I've been in a finals, finally. But why din he trust me? I really wanted to play... how abt the many hours i have spent working on my reverse sweeps, reverse hits, perfecting them and sending them to corners of the goal. Wads the pt of finally getting the powerful hits and sounding the board loud? At the end of the day, it is all meaningless... I was sad, but i wasnt angry with him, he must have had his reasons. I'm still grateful for all his teachings, not jus abt the game, it's abt life...
Celebrations after that. Pigged out at LJS, tiong bahru s c. The noise level was high... evidently still excited abt the match... hmm... Den we left the place... Is this the end of all this?
On the way home, on the bus with ju... i took out my trophy, stared hard at it... despite the small regrets. I was still contented. Even if it's really the end, even if were to die then, i will die a happy person, and i'll bring my trophy with me to my coffin...
Btw, many thanks to many ppl... To my buddy, for the huge kitkat bar, for the 100plus, for the encouragements, and for being a wonderful buddy basically... To my teammates, who fought the hearts out... To my jnrs, for the surprise gift, which i'll treasure... To those who msged... To those that i left out... Thanks a lot! love u guys... *hugs*
