birds eventually leave the nest;
leaves eventually fall from trees.
these 3 years have been the most enjoyable time of my life, being close with my 2nd family, my RP volleyball girls team. though we come from different walks of life, and live different lifestyles, the bond we share in court and during trainings; irreplaceable.
These few years, I've gained alot from volleyball.
From year 1, the girl who knew nothing about volleyball, being introduced to volleyball during a sports camp with the volleyball guys team back then. The girl who has matured so much from back then. The girl who never understood what it meant by "team". Back then, i was only 17.
Those days in tanglin, were the most memorable. seeing sii, madd, xiaoling, gillian and zhijun and I fight together and promising each other one night in the middle of the court, that we'll never leave RP volleyball team and continue to fight one. And girls, we did it. We've fought the 3 years long battle, hand in hand. The small gym back then, the corridors we lian qiu at when it rained, C10-our 2nd home, our volleyball camps; (calling phloy in the middle of the night to ask her if she wanted pizza. haha.), rolling about the concrete floor to jie qiu, gillian banging the pole and crying about having a dented eyebrow, meiwei made to act girly by baokun, water bottles tied to my hands to set...i'll always remember these good times we had.
Then baokun left us crying at the back of TP sports complex like we did today, because he couldnt coach us anymore.
And today, 2 years later, we are left crying at the back of TP sports complex again, because its time that we have to leave RP volleyball girls team. Leaving behind close friends that have fought with us these 2 years. Rena xiao mo gu, Janis partnie, Shuhui, Shirui ah ma, continue to fight on with the RP spirit ok? Jiayou. RP ace.
This last match was the most enjoyable. It felt so good to fight alongside you guys. The spirit, the morale, the team bonding...was simply heartwarming. thanks to everyone who has made my life in RP so enjoyable, especially my vball girls.
Xiao Mo Gu, though it may be tough sometimes, dont give up on volleyball ok? I've seen your smiles while you played in court, and really, volleyball makes you smile loads too. haha. though it might be tough somtimes, and really trying to get that motivation..but nevertheless, vball makes you feel like home. it makes you smile. never give up on the things that make you smile alright?
Partnie, its been really fun to da fang with you these 2 years. ever since jiao lian paired us up to da fang during hmm..i cant remember when. lol. you've been the joy of mine in volleyball. Your cute ways in court are always so enjoyable to watch. hahaha =x you were my motivation to go for trainings these 2 years. Thanks for cheering me on when i needed it the most. partnie, thanks for the memories (: you too, jiayou alrights?
ah ma, its been tough on you to take on the position of captain because you're less outspoken than zhijun or gillian. but ah ma, give it your best shot alrights? you can de. just be a little more daring and scold when you need to and of course, must be nice also ah! thank you for your support in court today. ah ma held my hand and said to me, "i'll be your support" when i told her i was scared and was trembling in court. lol. anyways, gong he ace! haha. (:
madd, sii, hazel, gillian, zhijun and xiaoling, thank you for all the memories and for fighting together as well. the memories from tanglin campus (except hazel), you all have witness how much the team has matured these 3 years. and to see them improve so much; from one who cant spike, cant even jie first ball properly; a team who used to get trashed badly, to one who can win matches. everyone has matured so much. Hazel ah, thanks for being such a "hot, friendly and nice" person these 2 years too. hahahaha. =x
