Last Sunday went to send Donald off to the other world. Its a very sad day for us. I cried 3 times that day. The first time was when the whole of team temasek 10 pin bowling that were present went to pay our last respect to him. The other time was when the coffin was about to be close. Last was during the cremation. But i still don't get it y some of them never turn up for the send off.
We just lose a friend, a team mate. We will never see him again anymore. But in our heart, he will always be remembered.
At night i went for meeting organise by nic our ex captain. Alot of things had been discussed. One issue is that team 2 will be the organiser for memorial of Donald. An event to remember Donald. However, this is still in the midst of planning.
The next issue was team2 issue. As the captain for team 2 from now on, i got alot of things to do. From contact list till strategy planning to win, all must be done. Now i really can fell how a captain really work. He/She does not only encourage the team but also to get everything right with the support from the team.
The word team is now very important to us. As most of my members are year 1s, they don't really know each other. For the next 11 weeks excluding holiday, i will try to organise outing and gathering for the team so that we can understand each other much more better. Also every month or so, there will be a meeting on the progress of the team and to slove all unhappiness in the team. I can do so much only. The rest must all depend on the team and i got confident that our team sprit and bonding will be stronger and fiercer than team 1.
My wish and hope for team 2 is about the same as nic. Winning is part of the wish. However the real hope is to see the team work together and bound well. I really wish that team 2 can overtake team 1 and the whole of team 2 will be in IP this year. Outstanding team 1. We maybe weak but our team spirt can tell everything. What make a team to win is the team spirt and not individual score.
Last issue of the meeting was to get someone to under stady me. Its quite obvirse who under studying me. He is the only bowler who knows me for more than 3 years and bowl the same club as me. He knows me longer than the rest of the bowler in team temasek. Hehehe....You all ownselve discover who he is bah.
Before i end this blog, i wish to think nic, vincent, asto, the one under studying me and most of team 2 member. Thanks for give me your support. I really cannot believe the respond i am getting when i was told to be the captain. In my mind there are some worries like will you all disown me as a captain as I had never lead a bowling team before. Thank goodness, everything that i worry never come thru. This is a good sign to me and the team and this will continue forever.
Thats all for now.....
Msg to team 2:
Fight hard, play hard....Every game means something.... I just hope you all will learn something after the league and a new team is form. No matter if we win or not, as long as you all try your best and never give, Donald will be happy up there....
Work Hard team...A waiting for good results for the next 11games. Hopefully we can bit the best team too....
Msg to Nic:
I may had thank you alot of times already. But still i must thank you again and again. Without you around, i don't really know what to do. You start the road for me and i will continue to construct till never ending....
