i just handed over my captaincy today. wat a few months it has been. on certain days, i was cursing this role i had. i had to take care of lotsa things n when things go wrong, its my fault. but today, i just feel that everything was worth the effort. felt a great sense of pride. sitting there on the stage with all the other leaders is quite an experience. i could almost feel that everyone of us is unwilling, almost rdy to take on another yr in the office n fight in the A'div again. 2 yrs is juz too short for too many good things to happen.

i bought nizar an armband n put in on for him on stage. its almost as if i'm like beckenbaur giving a pat on the back to ballack. makes me feel rather senior. ha but anyway... my this 2 yr stint as captain of ajc has been the most unforgettable of all. playing in front of ur sch, ur friends, people special to u and having them cheer u on is a special feeling. i can understand why my coach always say " i've forgotten much of my national team games... but up till now, i can remember the day i don the cjc jersey and every single game i played to win the championship." i've juz run out of vocab to describe wat i feel. ha. in short i dont think i'll get that chance to exp tt again. mayb i'll join again in uni , but then again , the feeling i think would be v diff.

i've made friends who shed blood, tears, sweat all for the sake of the sch. i've learnt life skills i'll nv learn else where. n i've left my little mark on the on-going legacy of ajc captains. (teh x 9) AJ !

i sat on the stage, pretending to be looking ard but i was searching for u. " are u looking for me as well ? " i dare not stare , stealing glances once every few seconds. i would have like adib to represent soccer but i juz hope u could feel proud of me for one last time. when my named was called, i hoped u'll be clapping with with a smile. in the end i did not know if any of those happened. i only remembered wat happened earlier in the day. . . . . . .
