what a smile

i've never felt so high in spirits before. yesterday was md's turn to play in the netball competition and it was good. glad to say we have earned automatic qualification for the semi-finals due to two straight wins of rp and jt. however, it was never a cruise to that feat.

we played netball together for the first time. and many of us do not know the rules. so perhaps because of that, the jt opponents had to bear with the frequent stopping of games. poor chelsea was knocked down by someone thrice her size poor umpires too. yuan dong came in in the second half. quite dramatic that 3md managed to snatch the win under jt's noses. it was quite obvious that md was losing, yd made the difference. haha.

rp's match was slightly tougher and tighter. but everyone played and we won. yd was fouled the last second and scored the penalty. super drama. hah. again, the match underwent into extra time. would have been glad had it been golden goal rule. lol. both sides were superb i would say. scoring almost immediately after the centre pass. with 9 seconds to go. 3md scored and led the game by noses. haha. and we won. then 2 girls were over strained as a result. yunting pulled her calf. catherine injured her back. quite amazed that both were brave of their injuries.

whatever the score is. i would never forget about the seeds of encouragement given to each other in great abundance. before game, after game, in game there were loads of 'jiayous' and 'you rocks'. if one if us lose the ball, no one blamed him/her. even if one of us were overpowered/charged/banged by some bull dozers(you-know-who), that person will be quickly pulled up by a modesto. i've seen tremendous team effort there. i was so touched that even we were to lose any of the matches, i wouldn't have mind at all. seriously, i wouldn't have mind at all.

last game of group stages. ep vs md. haha. ep homeground coz their classroom nearer to netball court. lol? nothing to lose md, just do it.
win humbly or lose gloriously.
