soccer finals

BAH! soccer finals: vjc lost to mjc 1-1, 6-5 on penalties. damn. but frankly speaking i felt both teams were good and both showed tremendous fighting spirit. it was saddening to see your own school lose in the finals, after beating the same team during the group matches 3-0. well i guess soccer's gonna be dominated by this 2 schools. vjc and mjc. both have really reaslly good players and coach too [tan yew hwee rocks! my pe teacher mahx...]. very very strong determination from both schools. vjc was down 0-1, but fought back with a penalty bringing the score up to 1-1. then game ended. sudden death brought a lot of stress... damn, i didn't even experience that sort of stress when i was taking my o-levels lahx. wth. hahaha. but anyway. that was the most stressful for the spectators, let alone the players on the field. but no goal. so penalty shoot-out. in the end, we lost 6-5 on penalties cause one soccer guy kicked the ball over the net. i think if he was to blog tonight, he'll be crying while typing it all down, recollecting his memories.

but frankly, kudos to all the vjc soccer guys! even to the guy who shot the ball over the net. we're all proud of you. you showed the fighting spirit- victorian spirit in the game and i felt that was all you needed to win the title. the trophy was just extra, the incentive and motivation was to play your hearts out. i could sense that all of you guys out there on the pitch wanted to win badly, doing your best to score that goal. my brothers: that is exactly wat the Victorian Spirit is all about- doing your best in whatever you do. maybe luck's not on our side, some people might believe. but persoanlly i feel this loss was necessary for greater things to happen for the soccer guys. sounds like the star wars movie right. hahaha. the emperor telling the dunno who that the loss of the count duku was necessary... hahaha. jsut as i enjoyed and remembered the movie, i will always remember this match.

well, besides the soccer match, there was choir elections today. and i was elected as the General Affairs Manager (GAM), taking over adrian's duties. from the bottom of my heart, i felt that all 11 nominees for the 5 available posts were very very strong contestents. too bad i didn't know a lot of them personally. people such as irvin, livia and zhour chu were the people i didn't really know. as i said in my presentation, i WILL do my best in whatever post i'm given if given the oppurtunity, and yes, now that i've been entrusted with this task, i WILL do whatever i promised. i still feel that the exco or musicco cannot work individually, neither can we work together and not with the choir as a whole. in the end, a choir is ultimately made up of PEOPLE and not person or groups of persons. we have to work together to bring the choir to greater heights and this belief of mine still stands.

so here's the brief outcome of the election results.
