A great yet a sad day.

Some things happened that made my heart bleed (I wanted to use the word "fibrillate" but people wouldn't like it). I promise myself, I will never ever do that thing to other people, and I really hope I can keep my promise to myself.

Handball was what made today happy =) Not the result. We lost 24-12 cos we were too nervous. My goalkeeping was not that worthy of mention, though Hendrik said that his most vivid memory of this year's IHG was me leaping off the line to deny the point blank shot of the Eusoff second man, and so taking a knee to the descending colon. But I kept my promise to Eric about defending the goal at all costs. Well, almost.

But I made two mistakes I shouldn't have. Diving too early, being disoriented by the ricocheting shots, being inflexible and not coming out in the first half.

So, having saved two impossible shots, and committing two mistakes, my PERSONAL score is 2-2. If I manage to stay in hall, I will improve the ratio!

But I was very very grateful that ChiaHui, Matilda, Rebecca and Beatrice from M1 came down to support =) I didn't know they came down (my eyesight is notoriously bad in the evening), and that was probably for the best, so I didn't get too nervous or anything, but their appearance at the end of the match really made my day! Its really the first time anyone (outside my very supportive family) has come down specifically to support me in any event! To me it was so "whoa!", so thank you all so much!

And also, Hendrik, a senior and our team manager, took me aside and told me that he was impressed at my performance in the match. That meant a lot to me too, cos I had been very depressed at the end of the event initially. Its this kinda thing which makes you want to stay on and play handball for KE for all 5 years haha =)

Till then I shall sleep first... FSC tomorrow!
