miche suddenly realised that it has been two months since the jg's victory and one since arena and she has yet written a single thing or said a single word about the five plus some whom the first half of 2008 was spent with. so here goes.
it has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us from dec to the end of may. many months of anxiety, worries, tears for some, fears for others, headaches, sleepless nights as miche lies away angsting (yes, angsting) over combinations and logic lines. in a way, miche has never promised that the journey was going to be a painless one but nevertheless, miche is grateful that all of you stuck with each other and stuck with her and aidan throughout all the tough moments. miche is appreciative of all the personal and professional sacrifices each of you had to make in order for us to bring home the championships, and miche sincerely hopes that beyond the plaques, trophies, best speakers and 4.0 for one english assignment (hint hint), your greatest rewards have been the support, friendship and memories you have all gotten from this season.
miche once said this to someone, that all the victory and sadness of the world lasts for one day only. because when the moment ends and when we wake the next day, no one except for us is going to remember or have the glorious members of the moment, we are announced as champions. no one is going to remember in ten years time, that you were the team that broke the ncs-jgs curse. but the memories of the times we spent with each other are things which are intangible but important.
for all the heart attacks at the silly things said during training spars, for all the annoyance for stupidity that persists to repeat itself at times, for the deep breaths taken each time in the finals, for that one wonderful poi given by rj and his loud loud voice, for nigel and his meticulous ways, for ben and his deep intellectual thoughts and much-appreciated hardworking ways, for xiangyi who is always 'stealing' money from miche for dinner, for the heart-stopping moment as miche sat in the auditorium counting down the speakers and grabbing matt's shoulders going "if the next name isnt nicholas quah, i am going to kill someone", for the late night/early morning chats with dodo-fish ball and for jarret and his stories about tun and slogging his all for the team, for the juniors who relenetlessly trained for two whole weeks and no complains and the lala king who christened me michemonster, a great great great thank you.
so thank you, thank you to all of you for giving miche the best season she has ever had, because if you gave her an other opportunity to chose, she would not have it any other way. really.
