Strength

4th May 2012 is a day I'll never forget.

AJC won ACJC 3-2. Everyone cheered. Tears of joy were shed.

Then one by one, players started falling. Kian Jun clutched his wrist, let out a scream of agony and fell. Trevis laughed, said he had cramps, and fell. Gary, who was beside me all the while, was convulsing with pain. I asked him to lie down, but he wouldn't, couldn't. He started to hyperventilate. And then, he too, fell. Everyone panicked. I know I did.

Dragged all of them out of the hall. Everyone tried to relieve their pain, in one way or another.It seemed like an eternity, but one by one, they got better. Everyone was relieved.

I really admire all of them. To be able to fight on despite the intense pain. Such high level of tolerance, such high level of mental strength, what drives them? The desire to win? The desire to give it their best no matter what the outcome?

Really admire all of them :')
