26th August 2008 - Tuesday , 8.30pm : Probably a night I will never forget.
Scored the 1st goal in my Inter-Class Games (Soccer) and it came so fast and furious that I didn't even know the ball bounced off my knee and zip into the net it went.
Welll...the pass was fantastic to start with. Mr Yu Chze gave 1 solid kick and it came straight to me and my knees jolted up and yah...the rest is history :) Somehow I believe there was some divine intervention man...I didn't even see the ball coming towards me as I was squashed in between so many others but well my knees just came up in the nick of time and hehe...THE GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My class was estatic coz the 1st goal really pumped more confidence and drive into the team and our fighting spirit was solid. Impressive and commendable! :)
Personally, the goal was such an encouragement as I was (at that time) the only gal in the team and I felt the pressure to not let the class down in anyway. My soccer skills are not even near a novice (no kidding!) and I so struggled to even want to join the game but the rules had it that unless there's at least a gal in the team, it will be a walkover! Sigh....so, no chance. To just give up on a game in this manner was totally unthinkable! And boy, was I glad I didn't chicken out but chose to just go out there and do my act (however and whatever it may be). The belief that I can do it from the guys played a significant role too. They really did their best to give me last minute coaching haha and hey the team work worked!
I saw my class in a different light. There was a sense of unity that I didn't felt before and those gathered, regardless of whether they played or not, were there for 1 sole purpose : to be with the team no matter whether we win or lose. At the end of the day, I felt we (as a class) was already a champion because we went out there ready to fight it all out and we did. Rocks man!
Well, PGDE -3B Yr 1 is a gem in the making. Seemingly raw now, but give it time and it will be dazzling!
