Reality isn't always what you want to see or hear, so learn to pick yourself up






















Turning into a stronger person after every set backs I face
I think slowly.... I'm growing up. each time to an even stronger person.
There's so many things I want, there's so many things I want to achieve, but for now I need to learn how to be contented with what I have, with all the petite little happenings that could bring a smile right across my chubby cheeks.
Smile for everything that's worthwhile, cry for nothing.

My most recent setback:
Allowing my opponent to decide my fate

I just cannot twist and twirl that sentence to make it sound right, because in the first place we were the ones who started it.. We lost our match to jumpshot, by 19 points, leaving us with a deficit of 19 points way below the rest of the teams. Then we learn to pick ourselves up, we trained so hard for the past two weeks, came back stronger, fight hard as a team and won Kembangan by 9 points. Should I say, everything came a little to late? Do you know that we were actually given two chances to get into the semis?
Firstly, it was that could-have-won game against jumpshot
Then, it was the could-have-won-20 points-game against Kembangan
Chances do come by but don't let it slip by you, especially when it came by twice..

Yes, maybe it was a little too late for us to turn back the situation now because facts remain as facts. It was heart wrecking indeed because that game against Kembangan was really a game to remember. I wasn't there when the buzzer sounded but my heart sank when I received that piece of news that we couldn't proceed to the semi-finals. It felt even more sour inside when my boyfriend's team won their race. Because I could never ever have that exhilaration bubbling inside me ever again for this Youth Cup Tournament.

























Look at that piece of paper that reflects victory, look at that girl a smile so authentic.
I swear, winning is so important it is the most encouraging award.

Nevertheless, i'm proud and happy that i've been part of Team Siglap.
Thanks for all the memories and hope we get to play together again.
