ok this nickoo here. sorry for the wait but jiahao is caught up with something so i will be posting the speech instead. here goes:Monday, February 26, 2007
The day we have all been waiting for has finally, indeed finally, arrived. Its time to show the product of all our efforts, the blood and sweat we have put in over the past year, how much we have grew and bonded as a team, as Raffles Badminton team. Tmrw, when our shuttlers are down in the courts fighting, yes we will fight, the rest of us will be lending our support, showing what it means to be in Raffles Badminton. We will shout, we will scream, we will display the Rafflesian spirit, and we will be the champions. Win or lose, it wont matter. What i want to see is us getting together as a team. Have faith guys, in yourselves, and in the team. We can do it. Tmrw, we will show acsi what we are truly made of. We will dominate the courts and let all in the hall feel our presence. We shall impress upon them, that we are not to be trifled with. See you all tmrw, at the showdown. Raffles vs acsi. Bring them down!
ok this is mainly it from jiahao. might have some text missing but you get the idea. now this is from me.
to me, this is the most important and significant match i have ever played. in my final year and against the biggest rivals ri has ever faced, i am definitely looking forward to it. not sure how many of you feel but i am fired up.. i hope you all are too. i have been in this team long enough to see many of you improve and grow as a player and i certainly believe we have it in us to win the south zone title. dont care about the nationals yet. look at what is right in front of us: tmr! staying to late hours 3 times a week boils down to how much and how eager we are to show others what we're made of. so lets go out there tmr and play like we never played before.. play and cheer your heart and lungs out because i know you all feel for this team- this team we have trained with, had fun with, gone through hardship with, and are gonna win with! we are ribt '07!
