disappointed but i(we) must stay strong
this is what someone sent out yesterday..
"We might not be better than them in terms of skills,but we'll beat them in heart, in passion, in determination.
We'll play as a team and that's more than what any individual can give.
And think about it this way.
SAJC has 11 players.
We have 11 too.
And they're only humans like us.
So there's NOTHING to be scared of!
Yep.
And we can win tomorrow.
And we're gonna win tomorrow.
And we're going to win the semis.And we're going to the finals.
Because,we want to be champs this year. "
although i read this message a day too late.. we shared the same thought. i thought we would win. but we didnt. some became quiet, some cried. it seemed all our efforts and determination were not enough to beat SAJC. all the teachers there comforted us. and they mentioned a very important point. at least we played our best. and even though we lost, we all know that this was the most satisfying game we played. so what we won the other games? it didnt force the true Rafflesian spirit until today[and at least i felt that i performed my best this match].
to add on, indeed. i guess there are times we need to lose to fully understand what winning is. nobody never loses. so treat that as another wake up call and move on.
thank you coach, our teachers, our juniors and supporters for screaming your lungs out at each match and believing in us, giving us encouragement at each setback and finding ways and means to meet the demands of thirsty school team players.
and at the end of the email this someone added on.
"Even if we dont achieve the desired result against SA tmr,
we are STILL in the semis.
we are STILL in this competition.
And whether we beat SA or not tmr,
we STILL have to make sure,
we beat whichever team we meet in the semis.
That doesn't change.
Yep.Haha"
