A fiercest team He built

My deareset beloved AC team.

It broke my heart to see how you guys went down 8-3 at half, fought back and still, did not come out to take the game. You guys have IT. Good coach, experience, the throws, a close knit team. AC is THE team to be. I know I said that I will crush you guys come Sunday. But above all things, all I want, is that you guys become a better team, to become better players. If I had a choice I would really turn back time so I could play in AC, but I can’t. All I could do was to make sure you guys get tough worthy opponents that will help you guys play better.

I was hoping that the loss to the Muddies, the so called easier game, would spur you guys on to improve more. That this defeat from the so called ‘weaker’ team would give you guys the mentality to bring up the intensity no matter who you guys are playing. That with every game, you guys play with even more ferocity.

A fiercest team He built. Go AC Ultimate.

KL 2009

So I finally made it to KL, my 1st overseas tournament in Asia. Some stuff were the same as I have experienced, some were different. Surprisingly, its actually more expensive to play in Asia than in Europe. Hotels eat up a big part of the budget. And my 1st time playing for team which wasn’t a pickup team. Needless to say, the dynamics were a whole lot different.

Overall I thought it was enjoyable. I was disappointed in some ways though, some games were just utter crap.

One thing I learnt. Mental strength. Its one thing to have the skill, and its another thing to believe that you can be better than the other team. And you need to trust your teammates to think the same way, that despite the strength of the other team you can be better, that you can conquer them. Its all in the mind. To know that you are able to deliver at the tournament, your 110% and it would be better than the 110% of your opponent.

One tournament. I think I learnt a lot, not just skills and experience. I am slightly clearer in the direction I want to go, yet, unsure how I want to go towards it. For now, its saving up for the next tourney. =)

Distance

Most people were overjoyed

They took to their boats

I thought it less like a lake

And more like a moat

The rhythm of my footsteps

Crossing flatlands to your door

Have been silenced forevermore

And the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

It seems farther than ever before

Its probably better this way.

CRAPPPPP

Nothing sucks more to go to bed feeling like crap, and thinking that there will be no breakfast available next morning. And to wake up, just 3 hours later to realise that your worst fears were true. And you feel even more crappy and depressed coz you have no wish to do whatever you have to do. And add in the lack of sleep.

Someone shoot me please. =(
