Celebrating a Decade of TK softball..

wow time flies.. coach have been coaching for about 12 years in TK..
back from the time when the seniors have no field to train in..
they had to train in the basketball court..
even till sz wha's batch, they had to roll newspapers to make "bullets" to practice their batting because they dun have enought balls..
n my batch.. the first youngest gals to go to China for training..
it was the turning point of TK softball history..
according to Candice, we were 2nd last in SBSA, the annual softball carnival..
after we came back from Beijing, we improved so much..
n who would expect such a team to become the champions..
i personally never did realised we came so far..
until half way thru the finals..
along with Candice's batch, we became the first batch of TK gals who won the championship title for C gals..
in sec4, we were also the first batch to win B gals champs..
those were days... the speical moments i treasure most..
gg thru the worst shit n seeing ur hardwork pay off...
i love my toughest times more than the glorious moments when we win games..
becoz those were the times, we stick thru tog as a team...
i miss teamwork, miss the bonding, miss the times when we were burning with fire when we playing against some of our toughest opponents..
the juniors did not let us down ever since then..
we were always one of the top schools...
i am so proud of TKGS softball..
i truly believe, like wad Candice said last night..
Softball is the best CCA in TKGS..
but we owe all of our achievements to one person..
Coach Jo..
i havent met anyone who has so much passion and love for the sport..
her life is devoted to softball..
i was so touched and so inspired when i saw how she fought against cancer..
she continued to coach us when she was sick..
when she has to go thru chemoteraphy..
she held on and always put on an indifferent image in front of us, despite all the pain she has endured thru the treatment..
she's the strongest woman i have met.. both physically and mentally..
despite all her naggings, some of her ridiculous punishments like "eating grass", she is actually a very motherly and caring coach in my heart..
i thank her for all the values and skills she has imparted to me..
i hope i can help to introduce this sport to more people in future, if i get the chance to..
