Hey team :)
i think some do not know what's going on with me these days.
come to think of it,
i'm also wondering why i'm still training.

okay,
it's a long story,
but i think you all have the right to know.

Things in my family haven't exactly gone smoothly this year.
i've been fighting with my mama ALOT.
and yeah, some might know she beat me too.
but let's not dwell into that.

The thing is that,
my grades weren't up to standard this year.
didn't get all As,
and there was this deal my mama made with me,
she said i would drop badminton if i did not get all As.

So i didn't get all As.
and the deal still stands.
and i have to abide by it right?

some will think my mama is kidding,
but she really isn't.
i haven't been appearing for trainings lately.
i know that.
but sometimes i always wondered the more times i go,
the harder it is for me to let go off this team.
i never wanted to let go,
i love you all too much.
i love badminton too much.
so now what am i to do?

all i know now is to hope for a miracle.
what's done is done.
i can't rewind time.
but i just want all of you to know that,
i love you,
and thank you for making me a much stronger person.
i love this team now and forever more.

That's all i'm going to say.
it's a new beginning for all of us.
next year, my teammates,
i'll be cheering for you in my heart,
cos i know you all will always be champions,
whether we win that golden trophy or not.



Take care,
