Merdeka Cup 2013

Merdeka Cup 2013. =)
A great trip.
*End of post*


HAHAHAHAHA!!! No laaaa...=) I have so much more to say.
I wish I could explain to you how proud I am of my girls and their performance in Merdeka Cup '13. But I just couldn't. =) To be honest, I was very worried and troubled when I first recruited the team 'cause half of the team were made up of new girls; and the other more experience half are not able to make it for training due to exams and work. This puts me & the coaches (Sam & Jeremy) in big dilemma 'cause we need the experience players to go against the already expected BIGGER opponents; but the younger, newer players were the ones dedicated & committed to every single training. :S Plus, I have a very very fresh and new goalie, Michaela who had to step in for the legendary Sharron as she just underwent a knee surgery. =(

But the girls really made me proud during both games. =) I told them, "History is not gonna repeat itself, we are not gonna lose to them, we are gonna change history this time." And true enough, we didn't lose any game. It was a 5-5 draw against the KL giants, and a 8-6 win over Selangor ladies. But it wasn't enough for us to be Champion due to the goal difference.
I guess I made a mistake after all. I should have said: "We are gonna lift the cup this year!!" instead. 
WHY LA EELEEN WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!
Hahahahaha. But if you ask me, was it enough for me...... Honestly & sincerely, it was. =)

It has nothing to do with the results of the game, but to see Penang Women's Floorball grow. At least I know now Penang is gonna have a new batch of young, passionate, aspiring female floorball players coming up. They may not be great yet, but you just wait and see, I assure you. You just wait and see. ;)
 [My pride & joy]

[3 cheers for Team Selangor!!
You should be able to guess which team is Penang based on our jersey. If not, it's time to go back to school to draw & color Penang flag. Lol.]

[It was an honour to be leading the team & screwing referees when they screw us first.]

[Battle scars]

[My koala. Haha.]

[4 hotties & a smoking hot panda =P ]

[Alina & Eeleen. So much to learn from her =) ]

[My favorite picture among all. =) 'Cause I see ONE team.]

 [Together with the Penang boys who emerged as Champion of Merdeka Cup 2013!!! *proud of them*]

I know many of you don't read my blog, but if any of you accidentally swing by;

Sam & Jeremy: 
Thank you for coaching and helping the team to blossom. Sam, wished you could stay longer and help the girls be better players. But you have a higher calling now. Hahaha. Jeremy, you better train the girls so well that they kick asses!! ;)

Penny, Sheryn, Serene, Lavinia, Sophia, Sharron:
Thank you for being the backbone and strong pillar of the team. I hope this passion for floorball will never die, even if our physical ability fail us. HAHAHA. But please la...Mika Kohonen is still playing floorball right now at the age of 36 so you girls have no valid reasons to give. =P

Pei Yi, Natasha, Winnie, Ling Ling:
I know you girls are at a cross road where it will probably lead you to a future which may no longer allow you to be exposed to floorball. Though deep down inside I hope you will continue to play and grow the sport of floorball wherever you go, I wish you girls the best!! And hope that floorball and the people around it help shaped you into someone better. You girls are my pride. Sincerely.

Michaela, Naomi, Yen Yen, Jessie, Shan Ling, Amylia, Sherwin, Beverly:
I admire your courage, your passion, your love for floorball. You girls help remind me why I love floorball in the first place and gave me reasons to continue. And for that, I really wanna thank you. =) You may be young, but don't ever let that stop you from reaching your full potential. Continue to train, and never give up even if you feel like quitting. It's not gonna be easy, that's for sure. But when is anything in life easy..? =)

Love,
