My oh my. You know I just readlized how much I enjoy waterpolo. Recently cos all the trainings have stopped and stuff cos of H1N1 etc, my interest seemed to be slowly slipping away and times spent at home always seemed so much more fruitful. However when training started I loved it. I love the PT, I love the teammates, I love the feeling of that rough waxy layer on a new ball and most importantly I love the game. Friendly with Hwa Chong on Friday showed me how far I've come in the game. I had a 1/21 shot conversion rate with Hwa Chong in C div '08. In that game, Kai Yang told me "just take 2 shots if you want". So I did, one in the first quarter and one in the last. Both went in. First time in my life a 100% conversion rate. Yes I know it's only 2 shots but it's showed me how much more I am now playing as a team player and everything else. I feel I have just improved so much after going for youth and everything it always spurs me on to do more and to do better when I see my results of training and hard work. Most of all, I can wear the Singapore waterpolo shirt with pride and know that I didn't get there by a fluke.
