its the official end of the netball season 2007.
i'll start off with today's game first.
Firstly, i couldn't stop laughing when i saw some weird ppl? haha.
Fang Yi and i. who else in the team would spot that, other than the both of us?! heh.
so i played C for all 4 quarters! and i'm so happy bout it,
cus' i thought i wouldnt get a chance to play.
played wih no pressure, and its probably one of my slackiest game? ( i mean seriously).
defence wasnt really working well, and i got so irritated that i actually pushed Mas,
so that she would pull back to the semi circle.
i'm so sorry! i've never done it to my mates before.
what i hate most are the umpires.
seriously, i don't care whos gonna read this.
moreover, i have the right to express my thoughts and feelings!
and i'm not insulting! i think umpiring sucks.
i think i can do a better job than them?
cummon, everyone saw it....
worse umpiring in the whole season! arrggh.
i was VERY frustrated. but tried not to show too much.
and unhappy with the umpire's decision.
stopping the game 1 min before actual time?
ah, blur people! caused some confusion.

we were blown for obstruction, contact, breaking and what have you.
yes, and they got away with it.
all i remembered was Germaine saying " offside nvm, just try to intercept "
so i just followed, anyway, i wasnt blown for it. just advantage.
they don't seem to care bout that.
so i got away with it.
the point here is, i'm not trying to put them down, i'm also not trying to be a sore loser.
i believe whats more important is fairplay.
i mean... qualified umpires? then, what is this?

we lost by 20! in short, trashed? but nevertheless, i believe we did try..
would i call this a happy ending to the season?
probably not.
west zone netball really has to buck up!
i think none of the schools made it to the 2nd round.

Netball Season 2007! i believe is more than just a memorable season.
probably, its the one that i've learnt the most.
from a player... to leading a team.
it was never easy, especially when i get demoralised so easily.
i thought... how was it possible to hold the team up together?
problems after problems we had.
we've been through it all...
from yvonne being left out, to melissa's choice of bball and netball, and the finals.
eventful i would say?
all the tears that flow down my face...
all the sweat and pespiration on court...
all the shoutings and screamings...
all the sweet victory and devastating losses
we went through it together.

time flies. from the time where we were still preparing from west zone.
selecting the main 12. look, its already the end.
i remember doing circuits during trainings.
the most suicidal- Suicide Run.
6,4,2 is a killer! haha.

through this season, i think i've learnt to be more confident with myself( at least a little)
and i've tried not to get demoralised by my own mistakes
have i crossed that? i believe, not totally. but slight improvement!

something that i'll never forget for the rest of my life!
Mr Bok once said, he wants ro vomit when he watch me play
another one! the game against MGS. a lesson taught.
and of course, my mates, and the people who guided us.

as a sec 4 netballer, from 15 to 5.
no team to represent tanglin for cdiv in 2005.
all we wanted was a chance to taste victory.
yes, it was difficult for us then...
in 2006, we joined huiyu & co. for the bdiv
the sec 4s, had to WORK so hard, so we could match up with them.
during the hols, i missed out SO many trainings due to family probs.
the sweetest thing is, i never felt alone, and i still have the card marlene made,
and the rest wrote lil notes on it! i'm touched, marlene=)
we didnt lose a single match till semi finals and from then on, we fell.
Netball isnt just abt playing the game, its also abt enjoying the game! right?!
its tough seeing them go.

this year is a diff story altogether, a big team, definitely harder to control.
i think i've put what i've learnt, into use for this year's team.
in anyway, i hope i did improve, skill wise and attitude wise.
( you know i HATE going training when i was in sec 1)
i'm confessing now, cus its over! =)
and perhaps, the desire to win a game?
wait wait! playing 4 quarters of C, was never my job in 2006!
this year, i had a chance to experience it!
and also, had the chance to win 76-0!
the chance to play many many positions.
from original C, to WD? or GA? and all back to C again.
maybe thats what that suits me best! haha.

TEAMWORK was something i never had experienced in my first 2 years of netball,
in pri school. and it was only in tanglin, that i found myself belonging to a team...

i'll be nothing without my teammates!
( i can't deny the fact that i still miss the old team alot...)




the old bdiv!

our very first success story.


netball pic!
