afterthoughts. . .

Hello girls!

I know many of you are awaiting the analysis of the game we had against Queensway. I'm so sorry I can't get it out to you as soon as I would like to, cos I'm up to my neck with all the work I've at hand now (school-work, work-work and all the Christmas preparations
-which reminds me you girls must come for my Christmas party on the 23rd okay. I know we have one with 'Mulan Warrior' Gelin on the 20th. But pls pls try to make it for the one on 23rd. It's going to be held near your ex-captain's(Sheryl) house and will start at 6.30pm. Your coach will turn singer/carol-er that night. so u MUST come! mark it down! Invites will be given out to you soon!).

So back to what I was saying...I will try to get the match report/analysis out by next week. For now, you may like to post some of your thoughts (emotions/feelings--don't have to be anything tactical) with regards to the game you played.
meantime, I would like to say I am pleased and proud with what I saw last Friday. for a couple of reasons, I see improvement in many areas(of which I will elaborate further later) and I simply love the spirit of the team. If there's anything you girls can be proud of, its the spirit each of you possess. Of course, not all of us are at the same level, in terms of love, passion, fighting spirit, will, fitness or even ball skills, but together, we will move forward and progress as a team, aye? Having said that, I'm sure we all agree there are lots of room for us to further work together and improve as a team!
FOR COLLEGE FOR NATION!

Let me hear you say it in Huimin's commanding voice from the back (which by the way could be hear all throughout the recording of the match)-- "Cmmon TJ! FOCUS!!"
Well done Twinkle Toes!

So i'm proud to be your coach/trainer/team-mate/friend. Never stop loving the game, the friendships you have here and of course, the BALL at your feet.
Like I told some of you at training on Tuesday, effectively, you have about slighlty more than 5 months to play and train hard before mugging for the 'A's begin. Let's PLAY REALLY HARD so that we will not live to regret not having done so sometime in June next year ok?

I would also like to commend our latest additions to the team namely: Verine, Sherine (is this how I spell your name?), ShiXuan, Vanessa and Celestine. You girls have been simply tremendous in learning to have fun with us, playing hard, smiling and for just being around (even at lunches). It has been a delight having you around.
Not forgetting our 2 friends from TKGS and 3 friends from Chung Cheng. Forgive my poor memory. Although you've joined us only once, you are always welcome to come back and have a BALL of a time with TEAMTJ (cold joke, i know)!

On behalf of the team, we hope to see more of you. Even if at the end of the day, that for whatever reason you do not get into TJ (i.e. choice/results/etc), we wish you all the best and would always welcome you to 'kick balls' with open arms. Just don't let Shihui hug you with her smelly jersey.


I leave you with a quote from a T-shirt my friend wore the other day. Really worth holding on to.


"Winners MAKE things happen;
Losers LET things happen."
