Time Immemorial
Weirdly enough, the two people are behaving exactly as i expected them to, but whether they are spiting me or following along with my post or i predicted it well or its just a coincidence, doesn't really matter. I sit here as passively as i can yet you go all out to ruin my name, to try to wreck me. You twist the most malleable of people around you, knowing the thrall you hold over their eager minds. But that matters not, for if people can be turned against me by you they can and would have been turned against me by anyone else. This little race, this scuffle, is just getting started and its intriguing to guess what'll happen next.
Anyhow, congratulations to String Ensemble for Gold with honours and Harmonica and Guitar ensemble for Gold in the Singapore Youth Festival. While the latter two didnt achieve "honours" you still got gold so be proud to have done Victoria proud. Choir, dance and band will probably be performing soon so good luck to you guys too, do us proud!
Just a while ago, the VJC softball guys won TPJC 19-0 (according to Qichao) and even as i type the girls are facing off against the TP girls team with a 15-0 lead by the end of second inning, SJ got a homerun too, good job! While its a comfortable lead the games not over and "anything can happen", to quote various people. Of course, Edmund says they're "winning" so that'll most probably be the outcome given his trained eye.
It almost feels like a rigged match for the guys before the big game against RJC, the defending champions for who-knows-how-long. A game to make the players feel like they could take on the world, to give them the confidence to take RJ down, And as long as the weather stays bright and sunny, i think they just might.
It feels like yesterday that i threw my first softball, that i caught my first softball, it feels like yesterday that Park was telling me all about his excellent academics on our first meeting, it feels like yesterday that we sang the school anthem together as a team for the first time, it feels like just yesterday Park's pitching speed drastically jumped, it feels like yesterday that i first caught Yuanhong's unfamiliar pitch, it feels like yesterday that i was awed at Wayne's outfield skills, at Edmund's batting skill. It feels like i got hit just yesterday. The nostalgia of this past life rushes back in waves of memories happy and sad, in gushes of emotion and experience. The time we'd spent together, the time we had trained together may amount to nothing in the field on Friday, but it means worlds to me for these memories are all i can cherish from my time with you people.
The training that you guys have undergone has been irregular and arduous, you all have sacrificed studies or play or cca or all, just to train, to improve yourself, to just play. You have worked blisters onto your fingers and bruises on your body to gain a fighting chance at taking home that coveted title growing cobwebs in RJ's cabinet. On Friday comes the biggest game yet, and prepared or not you have to face it, for this one obstacle is the biggest block standing between you and that trophy and if/when you scale this huge wall, the jump to the title over the other blocks will so much easier, so much shorter.
So play for me, if not for yourself. Play for the school, if not for anyone. Play for the team, for the team plays for you. Play like its your last game, give your all and perform your very best for if you don't, the regret will wash over you for a long, long time. To quote William Hung: "I have done my best and i have no regrets". As much of a joke he was, these words ring true for if you give your all, your blood and bone, you'll never have regrets, win or lose. And whether you bring back the trophy or not, your deeds will be inscribed forever in minds and hearts, for time immemorial.
So hold your heads up, boys, for this is the time of your lives, your chance for glory.
fight like you'll never fight again
