we had a team talk recently...this talk made think about many many things...

when i first came to cedar, i hated the school i hated to play basketball with the team. it made me think about anglican and i missed anglican more and more. i tried to convince my mum to transfer back many many times but it never worked. once, i just couldn't stand the pressure until i felt like quitting the sport i loved most, basketball. i often couldn't couldn't accept the fact that i was in cedar and i thought that as each passing day i stayed in cedar, i would hate cedar more and more. but i soon i started to like cedar, i don't know when i began to like it but i know i was feeling the cedar spirit. during sports day, the enthusiasm cedar showed was amazing the cheers were shouted in unison and at that point, i felt so proud to be in cedar. what made me like cedar the most was the sec 3 basketballers, and the whole 2S class. yupp, i had a lot of stress in cedar, coping with the studies was an almost impossible task. i couldn't keep up with the amount of work.but lots of stuff made it all worthwhile. all the sec 3 basketball seniors were always there, always caring about us. jiajian, wanjun,melinda,jiamin,yilei,lynn,magdelene,serene,audrey
you guys taught me a lot of stuff. and our professional 2S=) samantha, joan, yanting, jo ann, peiyan, tiffany, taffy, leng jen, joline, stephnie, shixian, xinying, yingchao, hanjian, yuwei, hongpei, amanda, meredith, esther.

after the team talk, maybe many of you are still unsatisfied with the way things are. if you guys don't like to stay in the team because you don't like basketball then you can quit because i think thats a very valid reason. but if your reason is because you feel inferior or smth else, then please don't quit. liking basketball comes from the heart, i know many people who continue playing basketball because they love the sport. so what if you don't get to play in the competitions? so what if coach don't put you in despite the tremendous effort you put in? your passion for basketball is there, and it will never go away. i guess many of you should just ask yourself. why are you playing basketball? if you are playing to win, if you are playing for the glory, or if you are playing to act cool, then please don't bother sweating under the hot sun with us. its not worth it. I've been playing basketball since i could hold the ball. basketbal is not just a sport to me anymore. its half of my life. i don't like trainings i hate to run but since I'm already halfway might as well put in my best effort right? many people laugh at this year c'div. saying that we cannot make it far, are you guys just gonna sit there and be laugh at? you all know how many trainings we have and how tedious our trainings are. do you just want to join in the c'div competitions and come back with nothing after our many months of hardwork?if you ask me, i don't want that to happen. i know we can do it. sec 2 basketballers: lets trust coach alright? trust that his coaching abilities can carry us to greater heights.you all claim that he is the best coach, prove it. to be a good coach means you can transform a bad team to a good one. i think the best gift we can give him is to win something back for him. are we going to do it? as a whole team. ALL the sec 2 and sec 1.
