imagine.

it's been quite a while, but i think i do owe my polo mates an explanation. I doubt any of you will read this, but it will definitely make me feel better.

I have decided to give up on polo because I feel that I can do other things better. And in this case, 'other things' refers to stuff like, organizing events for the school, and skating. It's not that I dislike waterpolo or anything, I do love it a lot. The 4 years we spent together, quarreling in sec 2 during the nationals and losing really badly cos of that, going over to melacca for the overseas trip, going to toa payoh for the youth trainings, the excitement we all have before playing the various womens teams. The moments we shared crying, laughing and playing together; these are things which I cherish, things that will be close to my heart for a long time to come.

My last day with you guys didn't come expectedly. It probably came as a sudden decision for many of you, but I had thought about it for a long time, since season ended. We watched beverly hill's chihuahua -.- hahaha. well that one is something i will remember for a really really long time as a farewell gift.

The bond between the 8 or 9 of us has strengthened over the past 4 years. And as any other person who has played in a team before, would tell you, this bond is something you can never fully describe in plain words. People used to laugh at our polo team and say that oh man you guys can never get the gold and stuff. In sec 2 we got really pissed off. In sec 3 we were like 'okay okay whatever -.-' and now in sec 4, i think we will probably just shake our heads and say 'you don't understand'.

Although our results were not spectacular during our journey, I believe I have learnt greatly. I've learnt that if you say you trust someone, you have to do it wholeheartedly. I have learnt things like handling the invisible pressure of 6 other guys on you. I have learnt about the importance of transparency in a team which wants to succeed and thus, being frank with one another. I have learnt about sacrificing your own time for a greater need. I have learnt that we all are human and we make mistakes from time to time, and that the only way to become stronger is to accept our mistakes and learn from them. And of course, I have tasted the bitter feeling of failure. The list goes on.

But most of all, I am glad I have been able to work with you guys for my past 4 years. To go through all the sad, happy and crazy moments. Well i think that's all i can say.

so.. thank you (in no particular order):
marcus, weishen, yin rong, shawn, booi, andrew, kaiyu (hope you are not screaming fuck fuck fuck at this post :P) and of course, zhuo yang

see you guys in RJC ;) we're polo mates forever man.
