thoughts and feelings of leaving SNBT. con.
people usually love graduating and all.
but i wld neva want to graduate from my team.
all the times i wld miss wif them.
its reallie a sad thought.
it made me tink alot.
now im leaving st nicks as a student and a player.
and i guess all my trngs and sacrifices made me
a more holistically developed teen.
giving up time to play just to train and study
isnt easy, ask any sports men/women.
it takes commitment, discipline and passion.
so in actual fact, its nt a rumour when one says
that sports people will succeed in fact.
most of them will. being in a sports and being hard
core about it, makes going through life and all
our problems much more easier.
we haf the mental strength, discipline and drive
to succeed wheneva we wan to.
impossible is just a big word thrown arnd by small men
who find it easier to live in a world they've been
given then to explore the power they have to change it.
impossible is not a fact, its an opinion.
impossible is not a declaration, its a dare.
impossible is potential.
impossible is temporary.
impossible is nothing.

thoughts and feelings of leaving SNBT
jus finished a thousand word essay on that topic.
here's more of a summary of that.
well throughout my whole badminton career,
it had been quite smooth sailing and productive.
i evolved from a lousy dbles player.
all the way right to where i am now.
a spore youth squad singles player nw trng to
represent spore in the upcoming combined schs. ( i hope)
but just beginning this yr,
i went through a rough time.
i started losing my passion in badminton !
that is tragic for me.
my teachers spoke to me.
it didnt workk muchh. i still slacked.
but well i got to learn my lesson the hard way.
during a game, i played wit sum lousy shit.
and i played a rubber set.
i was so upset wif myself.
i stoned the rest of the day.
gong ge talked to me.
he gave me the lesson of my life. in chinese.
talked to me about my gd and bad pts.
he said he was really proud of me all these years.
but nw that im slacking, he wanted me to pull
myself together and work hard for the rest of trngs.
he asked me what was wrong.
he told me that dere was still time to catch up.
he wanted me to fulfil my potential.
most imptly, he wanted to pull me back on the rite track.
i heeded his advice, and because of the respect i had
for me, i worked really hard and did my best.
till finals, when i won the deciding game and
had the game of my life, i felt reallie satisfied.
i felt great. i felt like i accomplished the impossible.
when i thanked him for whatever he has done for me
throughout all my growing up years. i broke dwn in tears.
it was an emotional affair.
and till this day, i am his '
baobei'. *smiles*
