1st Official Post of the Season

Hello Girls!

So if you are here and wondering if you are at the right place, you probably are. This is the blog that we've been talking about. I can't say it started from here but this was definitely one of the places we 'hanged out' and talked last season. Feel free to go through the quite huge archive of blog entries from previous year to know more about the team and the history behind US!

For those who weren't able to join us at MacRitchie last Saturday, you were missed but we'll keep you in on some of the action with the pics below (contrast between 07 & 08).
Find more at the link: teamtjc.shutterfly.com
Get the password from your team Captain to log in and view rest of the pics.

For those who were at Macritchie, GREAT and FANTABULOUS job! Wasn't a superbly long hike, but for the simple reason that you completed what you started, it's commendable already! That's what it's all about, ain't it? Finishing what we started out to do and finishing it well. As talked about earlier, success is a journey, not a destination.

We may fall, falter and fail but the key is not giving up. teamTJC has never given up to the odds, not matter how much they seem to be against us.
The little victories you made today is what matters. Celebrate the pockets of success you had today and live for another one tomorrow.

I may not know what are the little or MEGA obstacles/hurdles you face everyday, but one thing I know and believe. You can overcome it. Press in.

What teamTJC had before is special. What teamTJC has today is special too-the friendships, the bond, the conversations, the laughter, tears, pain, joy, setbacks, etc. Nothing can replace what the team has here today. The team is made up of what you CHOOSE to make of it.

You see, at the end of the day, even if we were to win the medals, they will be nothing compared to the relationships each of you have and will continue to share with each other. I've seen it in the previous batch and I'm certain each of them will profess to it too.

So when you see each other tomorrow or at the next training, remember this:
Who you are as a person is more important than what you can do as a player.

One life;
Live it.

One moment;
Seize it.

One chance;
risk it.

Passion
Purpose
Drive
(touch it each time you come into school)

SAY (What you need to say)

SAY (What you need to say)

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put them in quotations

Say what you need to say (8x)


Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only

Say what you need to say (8x)

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Have a Break! Have a Goof-ball!

#2 - Fastest comeback goal ever!



#3 - Girls just want to have fun!

Celebration of Creativity

Since it's so quiet down here, I've decided to celebrate the creativity God has bestowed upon Man and screen some of my favourite youtube videos to show just that.

Instructions: Click on 'Play' then 'Pause' to allow videos to load entirely before watching them. It's the best way to enjoy the video fully. You are not expected to sit through and endure the entire video. You may stop at any point in time. Please ensure you aren't in the midst of eating or drinking whilst watching these videos. Stop the song playing on the blog now. Lastly, ensure all mobiles are turned off and the volume of your computer speakers turned up!

Video #1 - Can be quite scary. Not suitable for underaged kids. A good command of english is advised to fully appreciate the lyrics to this song. =)



Video #2 - Funny how we can laugh at others even when we don't understand a word they say.



Video #3 - Inspired by YingQi's sweet voice. She can really sing. I believe Gelin can too! Hey! Shall we do a song together? If you think S.H.E rocks, you better check this band out! PUMP UP THE VOLUME!




I hope you enjoyed the first edition of 'Celebration of Creativity' thoroughly.


Cheers!

since the blog needed some updating, i decided to post this from GOLDEN PAST RED FUTURE----by Paul Tomkins


Footballers differ from many other athletes and sportsmen, in that, exhibitionist ball-jugglers aside, they exist exclusively in the realms of a team sport. Golfers may join together for the Ryder Cup, tennis players may unite for the mixed doubles, and the fastest men and women on the planet may exchange (or in Britain’s case, drop) batons in the 4x100m relay, but otherwise they exist in isolation, loners in their chosen sport, pitting their wits one-against-one, or one-against-all comers, to be crowned the best, it is highly instructive to watch how golfers, for example, visibly wilt under the pressure of other golfers, not to mention their country/continent, but that’s once every 2 years, and the rest of the time they just have to concentrate on their own game.

Consider the lot of a top footballer who trains his heart out from a tender age, leads an abstemious life away from the pitch, and generally attempts to do all he can to get the most from his God-given talent. Whatever his destiny in the sport, he is beholden to his teammates. Still judged as an individual, but part of a collective. Diego Maradona aside, a footballer cannot win games single-handedly, he can make winning contributions. Modern-day footballers are trained, with almost nauseating predictability, to thank their teammates at every opportunity—after all, they cannot do it alone. Even Maradona would have struggled in a match of 1 vs 11. It is a team sport, and as the annoying phrase confirms, there is no I in team. But if the best players need the assistance of their teammates, it’s equally true to say that their teammates can also hold them back. There’s no point being the best striker in the world if your keeper cant catch a football and concedes 5 in every game,, similarly, there’s no point being the best keeper in the world if your strikers cant even hit a barn door, and never score a goal. No one should be in any doubt that whatever the power of the team, football revolves around individuals. They are the ones who make the telling contributions. However great a team moves, it needs one person alone to finish it off. A team is always a collection of disparate, autonomous human beings who come together for the cause, it is not 11 conjoined people, like a freak of nature. A team will always need someone to move above and beyond teamwork, and to take responsibility to be the individual who makes a difference, Not in a display of irresponsible showboating, or the reckless abandon of trying to shine while not caring about the fact that it might be counterproductive winning the game. Someone—a single player—has to make it count. These are ‘match winners’
