If there is no sense of elation after an exam, it just speaks volumes about how much you've prepared for it eh. I've never sat for an exam as unprepared as this time round. I can't say I didn't study, but the thing about studying is, it's classified into studying and effective studying. It's obvious which class I belong to. Bleah.

Every decision made is something else given up. Every yes is a no to something else. I haven't been making the wisest of decisions, but regret will be the last thing I allow.

Of all the things to say.

In my prolonged absence, many an event have transpired. To chronologically recount them individually would be unthinkable, a torture to myself, and readers (if any, hehh).

But this is one event I cannot miss telling. :D

I never knew we could get that far, really. When we first started out I wasn't even sure of getting past the quarters. It was tough, all the trainings after school, during school, before school. And worst of all there wasn't any marked improvements; no sign of progress. The season was an uphill climb, sometimes vertical sometimes gentle, but nonetheless culminating at the National Schools Volleyball Finals.

I think Toa Payoh Sports Hall is like, the epitome of sporting success among student athletes. For as long as I remember this was my dream, our dream. To come so far, I think if we just settled for runners' up we'd be shortchanging ourselves. The school was not exactly very supportive, but aye, support or no support, it didn't really matter in the end. It was enough to know that people were behind us, morally if not spiritually. :)

So we ended this sesaon on the highest peak we could ever reach, the champions. It felt good to bring home the trophy triumphant, to the applause of the school.

The high lasted for a few days, but the memories last forever.
