On "Resiliency" and Managing Failure
To be honest, I thought we really had a chance when the score was tied 2-2. Alas, the pressure got the better of Yan Liang, and we suffered our second 2-3 heartbreak. I mean: this was ACSI, the "brand name" of squash that was feared to such an extent in previous years. Bleah. What else can I say? It's like my roller coaster Maths ride last year, just that last year, I PASSED, and um.. if you put the match in retrospective (is that the right phrase to use?), it's like.. a failure. The team played hard but fell short = failure (put in a really blunt way).
Haix.
On a more positive note, SAFRA responded! Haha.
I didn't know that I knew the coach, and I guess the coach doesn't know that he knows me but haha. That's better than um.. (thinks of a random movie where the boy likes the girl but in his other "life" hates a person which turns out to be the girl), at least. Haha.
Also, got back ERP essays because Ms Chew wanted us to see for ourselves whether, in our right minds, if we were marking our own scripts, we would actually qualify for the best section. I think I did quite well :) Found lots of evidence in all the sections, and Ms Chew said something about "liking the organic style of writing in my essay...?" I don't really know what that is, but I guess that's a compliment. Using my literature-tuned brain which forces me to make an educated inference, I would say that I guess she's saying that my writing is like.. original? Argh, I can't really put it in words, but hey, its a compliment!
Anyway. I might upload it here, but then again I wouldn't want to be so boring as to post my homework here. (irony: i already HAVE posted some of my homework here; it's called EL bloggggg :P ) Haha.
