Left for good

Today is Lisa's last day in Singapore and many people went to send her off. While on my way to Changi Airport Terminal 1, I felt sad out of sudden and tears formed in my eyes. Of course, I didn't tear and controlled collecting back the tears. Finally Lisa reached and she proceeded to check-in and I went over to say hi to her. She gave me a warmth hug and once again, I felt emo again. Luckily the 19s gals came over and talked to her, and I managed to walk off and talked to friends. Gossips gossips gossips... that's what women are capable of and obviously I'm one of them. I just need people to hear me complain... Well... off track...back to the topic...

Here comes the emo stage...
Huilin wrote a card for Lisa and insisted to read out the 10 things I will miss about Lisa... I almost break down upon hearing it and turned away to avoid crying. Soon... the gals cried... Li Li passed me a pack of tissue and slowly as I turned, I saw many crying so badly. I was shocked. I passed them the tissue and tried hard to control my emotions but eventually I break down too. I just hate the Goodbyes...

Questions were flashing in my mind, asking myself how how how...the same old questions flashing back in 2007. Will I get to see her again? Can she be our coach again?

Teamwork

Yesterday went to watch Singapore Slingers 96 -72 Satria Muda BrtiAma @ Singapore Indoor Stadium. Finally from being an idiot who don't understand basketball, I can analyse what are the opponents' strategies. Obviously Satria Muda BrtiAma has a lot of individual players and seems like there's no teamwork at all. Whoever gets the ball will just try their luck to push their way through.

There's 1 touching moment in the game; the last minutes in last quarter when Slinger's youngest and inexperienced player, Prasad, went on court. The players on court were so NICE that they created opportunity for him to put up a shot. Once Prasad scored, everyone on the bench stood up and cheered for him. At that point of time, my eyes were watery. I envied them; working together as a team, helping one another to excel. That's the way man...
