rough week

yay..another 3 medals.. 1 for 200m, 1 for 4x100m and one for mssd rugby.. sadly, its all silver..oh well, at least something..

my school team went for mssd competition from thurs till sat.. We won straight on till the finals.. On saturday, the finals was between my school and Syed Omar.. With confidence, we played.. Alas, we lost..!! for 3 years we have been champs, and this year we lost.. We lost very badly in fact.. many of our players were injured..

What struck me was this.. Though ppl can look rough and though on the outside, dont
judge a book by its cover.. It was that day that i saw my friends broke down.. The agony of loosing something we thought we had easily in hand.. The pain to see our fellow team mates in pain.. swollen ankles, fractured ribs, muscle fibres torn, sprained shoulder.. To see our effort training every evening and giving it our best.. It really hurts..well, at least it will be a lesson to all of us.. Not to be over confident..

Because of the match, my best friend is now admitted in the wad.. Pity..fractured rib, punctured lung.. minor internal injury.. If you know how hyper active he is, you will say its good he can stay in the wad.. it'll give him time to think and reflect.. a good rest for him.. Get well soon..!!
