bliss
this had been a really hectic week. it isn't a holiday, it isn't even a term break. trainings on tuesday, wednesday, thursday and saturday. the friendlies were good cause we sorted out our positional duties and the killer fitness, although tough, we pushed hard and we did it! not to forget lessons every other day. i'm glad it's gonna be over.
just got home from ms martens house. we threw her a surprise farewell party. we mananged to keep the secret well for quite some time. as usual, we took lots of photos (will upload soon) and we were quite afraid of the dogs (esp when they suddenly started barking). it's sad that she's gonna leave. i'm really motivated by the message she wrote for me and all the other girls. i don't believe it's coincidence that we end up together in the same school, in the hockey team just like this. it must have been God's magnificent plan and His extra grace that brought us all together. not only do we have a team of hardworking girls, we've great inspirational teachers and coaches who guilded us along the way for four years. without their encouragements and patience, i don't think we would've made it this far. we're such a special bunch of girls that went through a magical journey together, fighting all odds and overcoming all obstacles - like no other.
this makes me damn determined to win the semis on monday. i'm all prepared to play and kick some butt. i'm sure everyone is too.
team, if this isn't our year to shine, then which would the right year be? remember all the things we went through together to make it this far? all the trainings (+ extra night trainings), fitness (so tough), team talks, video sessions, and even overseas training trips and tournaments (we enjoyed so much!). from indivisuals to a bonded team, all the bittersweet memories, it was really a long way. faith and passion has guilded us a long way. we all believe we can. have a good day rest and rekindle the self-driven desire within you. play for each other and for your love for the team.
GO GOLD GOAL!
we're near, can you feel it?
