Nationals are done (lost to RGS 4-1), and I can finally concentrate on my studies.
I'm happy, yet sad at the same time.
We're stepping down, and although I'm much of a slacker, I think I'll still miss the tough trainings we have every 3 days per week, the matches we play during trainings with a hint of seriousness and laughter, disagreements and arguments with teammates, etc.
It's been 4 years. Even with all the disagreements we had, I think there's still this bond, no matter weak or strong, between everyone in this badminton team that cannot be broken. I don't bear grudges to anyone in the team, and I think I'll miss everyone, even those who may not be on good terms with me. I'll especially miss the sec 3s: you are my best juniors ever.
4 years. To remember (I have STM) to bring rackets, shirts etc. for training. Waiting for XH's reminder about the next training the day before every fortday (fortnights are 2 weeks, so fortdays are 2 days ^^). Complaining about how tiring training is.
I still rmb the earlier days of trainings. I would complain about the trainings that are coming, and I don't deny that I've made up excuses so as to skip training (Of course a few only lah). But over the many weeks and months, it has been made a habit to go to training, no matter train or no training, and not going makes me think of what they are doing, and I feel bad. Seriously. I may not show it, but it's there in my heart.
And now we're stepping down. Handing over the job of doing well in this sport to our next batch of players. Jiayou! Even though we're not with you bodily(?), we'll always be supporting you spiritually. (More in our hearts and mentally lah. We're gone but not dead yet.) Aim for nationals top 4, but hit the nationals champ! =)
