The Downfall of Pride

a fruitful training tonight though i wasn't really performing. every training since the first one at ntu, i learn something and i think that's most important. like what i said, i love trainings though we've yet to really gel together that well yet but what i love most is the humility here. i love how even the best player in the team is so willing to give her all and help weaker players regardless of who they are. i'm really honoured to play with people like serena and shanti, even the rest who are newer to floorball than i am. cos they really are there because they just want to play floorball. nothing else.

jill told us today how her ite boys lost the match against rp. a team of talented players against a team of not as good but committed players. it's pride that caused their downfall, she told us. and i can't agree more. it is always okay to be proud of who you are but having too much pride just doesn't work. but i still don't agree with the ban on ISG(inter-school games) though i know where they're coming from. sadly, we can't always have everything we want in our lives, even when we excel in doing them.

serena taught me how to pass properly today. after so many years of floorball, my basics are still not perfect. and i was quite amazed by the hard passes that i could connect with and pass back straight away. i feel like i was empowered with a magic stick or something.. =b

a good teacher nurtures good students. a student can be all willing to learn but a teacher who is all willing to teach will learn together with the student and the student will have the best learning experience ever.

i'm really excited about ivp now. i can't wait to play and just have a team that counts. i'm so new yet i am beginning to feel a sense of belonging. =D

adrenaline coursing through my bloodstream, i just can't stop raving about training..haha!

the day begun well and i hope it goes well and ends well...

i think i'm beginning to shed a little more of my defenses and learn to stand on my own two feet a little more.

i must thank janice and pris for the talk, it really helped me!

jan told me to learn to be independent...

if you can stand on your own two feet without depending on her, you will eventually live well with or without her...

very, very true. not easy, but very very true. now each time i feel like i need more, i will remind myself that i can stand on my own two feet and i will be happy no matter what.

lots and lots of thoughts running through my head now...

gonna write a more emotional post later...for a very special person =b
