Chapter 69 ~ Rugby match -B boys
I didn't get to take any pictures for the B boys so no pics but got quite a few thoughts running in my mind. on the ride with thomas, sarah and rosalind, i just felt that the atmosphere is different, compared to the ride with eunice. this was my first "Rugby" match, i mean watching it start and end. though i am still sort of blur with the game, i was able to follow through it and mentally be with the B boys. I was with them throughout the match. i was with the audience, i was standing beside them(mentally). i saw how hard certain ppl cheer on, like Mrs John, i am sure she enjoyed the match though they lost, she shouted this to them "you can do it SO DO IT" how true, it works the same way like "if you believe in a miracle,you will witness one". the whole day in school i felt so depressed, but when i left to watch the match, i saw how hard they played, i saw how serious they looked, then i realised that what they have been going through for the past few days is really hardship in comparison to me, mentally prepared for the match, physically prepared for the match. one of the cheer leaders said these to the crowd supporting SA when the score was 10-0, "we have not lost the match, it is still not over, cheer for them, support them and they will win. open your mouth and cheer." how true. i put myself in the players' shoes. if i were to be supported, if the crowd is still with me. i will still and continue to try my very best, not to let you down. but again thoughts continue to flash across my mind, i knew i had to pen this down before i forget.

Life is like a game of rugby, there is halftime for you to reflect on what you have done wrong, but there is no rewinding, no regrets. you have to use the halftime to change your way of working to adapt to the new circumstances. Every night on your bed, its your halftime. every one of us has supporters in our lives, we might not know them but they are always with you. your friends, the strangers on the road, your family.
