WE BEAT BB!!!

Today my school softball team beat SMK Bukit Bintang's softball team 20-13! Everyone was telling us about how we made history because we only had one and a half months of training and yet we beat who BB who are a very experienced team and were 2nd place in last years tournament. It's too bad the JU reporters were not around to record the moment when the game ended and we all ran screaming euphorically into the field and tossed our caps and gloves into the air in celebration. It was unfortunate that the boys did not take training more seriously or we could have done so much better in the tournament and might even have gotten a medal. Nevertheless, I'm proud of my boys because of today's victory and the improvement they have shown over the past two days. Thank you guys so much for letting me experience the sensation of a home victory(something which I have never experienced before)! :D But what makes me prouder is the fact that some of the boys have been nominated to attend the selection training for the district softball team. All the best guys! Make SMK Bandar Utama and our district proud! But the best part was I was also nominated to attend the training despite the fact that I did not play a single game this time. The officials and teachers were telling me that they were really impressed by the fact that I succeeded in managing and coaching the school team to a victory over BB in just one and a half months despite the fact that I'm still only a student. I was probably the youngest manager out there as every other school had teachers in charge and some even had proper coaches. Today's victory proves just what SMK BU is capable of if we believe in ourselves and work hard. Success with home grown talent is always the sweetest. We could make the big boys sweat even though we were rookies. Anyway, 5 years after playing in the softball MSSS, I now have another chance of making it into the Petaling district team. I don't think I'll get in though(as there are many better players out there) and will probably give it a pass as I have to start focusing on my studies. Thank you very much to everyone who gave me this opportunity though(including the school softball team)! :D
