-excited-

omg!! can ani one tell mi if i'm dreaming?! till now.. i still can't believe tt we make it to de finals.. i actualli can experience for myself de feeling to b playing in toa payoh sports hall.. MY GOD!! firstly, we shocked lots of ppl by making it to top 8 den top 4 n finally won over de hot favourite aj.. although i think tt we're quite lucky throughout de games, i noe tt tis is wad we deserved.. we trained hard for dem.. we were mentally strong..
we were trashed by aj in de first round.. bt we did nt give up.. we fought on n won tj..
we were trashed by nyj in de second round and again.. we created a miracle n won hc n sa.. although all those matches we won were 2-1 bt it shows tt we r mentally strong n will nt give up till de very last min.. had some frens in hc n sa.. dunno if i should feel sad or happy to win dem.. esp. hc.. cuz de last point of de 3rd set.. i serve a super tyco ball.. if tt ball falls into our court.. think we might nt win dem..when i saw dem cry.. was feeling kinda guilty cuz it's like i've cheated.. n some of my gd frens are in hc.. bt we did nt gu fu dem.. we won aj!!
for semi's we are playing best of 5 sets so we muz win 3 sets in order to win... we won dem 3-2.. was quite amazed tt we took down de 1st set w/o much effort.. comparing wif de first time we played wif dem.. at first i was quite worried tt my stamina would nt take mi through the 5 sets.. bt i was amazed tt even at de 3rd set i wasn realli tired.. back to de game.. de 2nd set we had some problems and i think we kinda tensed up cuz we were thinking of winning.. mr tay calmed us down by calling us to smile and relax.. he told us to play for fun n nt for winning.. de 3rd set we couldn't catch up... no 11 serve was great.. she ended de game by serving a few aces.. for de 4th set.. we were all relaxed cuz we didn expect tt we would win.. no 11 spiked a few very powerful n great balls.. despite de fact tt one of their main player sprained her leg at de first set.. they fought on.. their fighting spirit was there.. bt i think tt de pressure was on their side so they kinda stress.. 4th set was very close.. i almost feel my heart jumping out at certain part of de game.. they were leading 24 22 when i serve.. i was so stress i didn noe whether to serve it high or ping4.. bt their 1st ball was terrific.. i wasn't confident of an ace.. so i juz did my best n hope for a miracle.. fortunately they fumbled a little.. n we manage to catch up wif dem.. *phew* de 5th set.. we were leading all de way.. bt they did a few great spikes too.. bt i still think tt we relax.. so we played to our potential.. we played smart.. dunno y when it was my turn to serve.. i was like trembling.. haha.. de 3rd serve i served it down de net.. (oppz) bt lucky we're like leading by 2 pts!? i noe we wun make silly mistakes after tt.. n true enough... we won... i cannot describe de feeling... when de last whistle sound.. we were jumping n screaming at de top of our voices.. it was a dream come true.. we didn expect to win.. we juz wanted to do our best.. mr tay's strategy prove tt playing vb was all about mind work.. to play smart n nt to play hard.. as long as u do ur best.. u would gt results tt u didn noe u r able to acheive.. i admired aj's libero.. her first ball was terrific!! n no 2.. she's my fren.. although nt beri close.. she's been reserve for so long bt when she went into de court.. she managed to dig up every spikes.. she's great!! and of cuz no 11.. her spikes were so powerful.. i would still clap for her even if we couldn't dig up de ball.. no 7 didn realli spike much.. all in all.. they were a great team.. =)
when i went to c de b gers finals.. i imagined wad it would b like to play in toa payoh sports hall.. i never tot tt i could play in there.. mayb in my dreams.. when i found out tt 3rd n 4th playing in ccab i was like sian diao lorz.. didn noe tt we would walk so far.. exceed our expectations.. our acheivements.. i'm juz so excited.. after de semi's we went to celebrate zihui's bday.. think tt's her best bday present.. haha till 11 of may.. we will nt give up.. we will do our best till de very last whistle.. team jj will rock toa payoh sports hall!! jia you!!
