These Ties That Bind

Hey ppl, Sharron here. I'm sorry that i seldom post entries on this blog but i do my best read all the entries posted, coz i'm ur typical ah pek who always forget to blog. I wanted to use sze ting's format to blog however, it'll be like i'm copying, so i'm just gonna give a overall post of our past year's experience.

At first when i stepped into soccer and saw you guys. i thought, oh man! would they be slag? Are they joining for real? will i regret soccer? Back then, i was someone who was uber hot-tempered, cynical, skeptical, basically, i don't really know how to open up to people easily.But, I'm not like xing xuan.(who is "very" xenophobic)

Then slowly, through many trainings, many scoldings, many crying, many injuries, i begin to find out how different each and everyone of us are in our team. There are people who can burp like mega loud, do triple jumps before shooting, scream like mother cow, sing with a fake eyebrow, thinks she's the fattest when obviously she's the thinest, eat like mother cow, speak as though the voice and body don't match, take chinese but can't speak it well, skinny and flirty,has "super smelly shoes", looks like garfield(my sis), looks like barney who sings korean, who is super quiet but not to me! ,roll her eyes like no other, who speaks and yells like a baby, who likes rui en like i do!

Slowly , i begin to like the team but i didn't really show it on the field till a senior analysed how i played on field. Only then i realised that even though i like the team, i didn't trust you guys when it comes to match play. So with the help of you guys and my seniors, i slowly change my temper, slowly try to trust you guys on field again. I began to really enjoy football when i did all of that.

We started to work real hard for the nearing season and even though we did not make it to top 4, i know that we all did our best. We started from ground zero, from nothing to something. We fight like hell during match and gave our opponents a good fight. It's always about the process, not the success.

I want to really thank coach for his guidence and patience to coach us from a "zero" in soccer to decent soccer players. I don't think that there's another coach like him who is this great and i'm 100% sure everyone agrees with me.(not fallacy) And without him, we'll really be nothing.

I also want to apologise for my oubursts during trainings and matches, if i have offended you in anyway, it was never intentional.

Lastly, i just want to say that soccer and you all HAVE changed my life and how the way i look at things. You gals are the bomb! This is the team i will always remember, always miss over the years. This is the team where i know that at the end of the day we will always be ONE team and that's something that nobody can take away from us. These are the ties that we've created from day one when we stepped into soccer, these are the ties that bind.

WE love soccer
