So far all the games that we have played were hard-fought ones. None of the games allowed us to slacken, even for a few minutes.
Santa Fe's game was tough physically and mentally since they were all tall and strong players who did not think twice about using their body to contest every ball. Also since we were down 2 goals for the first 2 quarters, it was a tough fight to close the gap. And when we were finally up 3 goals ahead, we lost the lead within a few minutes before the final whistle. In the end, we walked away with a draw.
29-29.
What an exhausting game. I have never pushed myself that far before, so Santa Fe's game was really memorable. This particular game made me realise how strong I could be mentally. It is a huge improvement for me to stay in the game mentally, even though physically I was totally gone. I had nothing left in me after the game, except for a wave of satisfaction, a very uplifting sort of feeling that I had played my best and gave it all I had.
Now I know why they always say, "as long as you did your best..." Truly, I had no regrets after the game even though we could have won it.
Last night we played Llab 10 Hearts. Won by 3 goals, but could have won by a greater margin I felt. I didn't think I played very well for this game, but several team mates have said that I did a good job. So I guess maybe I have set my expectations a little high given my state of fitness level. How I wish I had better fitness and stamina! Then I can make stronger drives on court, and provide more support for my team mates.
This afternoon we will be playing against team Bedok. Again, this game is not going to be easy, with the hot afternoon sun and experienced Bedok players, it is going to be another battle for Zenith.
Division 3 is TOUGH!
Wish us luck!

My dear friendsssssssss Part 2
I met Seryin on the MRT platform finally! Both of us, being "aunty" and kiasu, grabbed our seats and started talking non-stop. It's a good feeling to meet up with close friends and chat up again so easily, as if we have never been apart for so long. No akward moments, felt like we were back in secondary school days again.
