I still can't believe I'm defeated by the team that supposed to win. Few days back, there was a district competition held in so called Astaka Field. I was appointed as a coach and captain. During January, I received many critics and bad stuffs from friends. One of the critics was 'WHAT! Are you sure you are the COACH? Can you lead the players to the Final?!' "YES! I can make something to the club and will bring the GOLD medal that we have waiting for. We will get into the final and one thing I want to expect from you is trust in me. I want to make a history to the school as I was named 'Legend' once. Throughout the training session you can see the discipline among us.' I answered confidently. Although there were some arrogant people in the team, I still respect them because I believe in them. Their skills may not be as good as me but their knowledge might be better than me. Different people have different styles. I totally agree with this statement. Teachers in school were surprised of my coaching. To be honest, I'm very strict when I step into the court because when my footsteps reach the surface, I have to win. My focus is to play a good game and help my players, team and school. That's what my target as a leader. All I just want is to get the medal. Add maths Sir was one of them praised me of my talent.

I selected 11 players among 30 of them. I took most of my time doing coaching and scouting. The period from the first training till the last training. I earned my respect back from friends and teachers. I have two personalities in me. Playful and not serious in class and strict in basketball. I love basketball as much as I love myself. They were praising me although they didn't mention it in front of me. I always start with discipline because discipline can make a person mature and high esteem.

My teammates spent their time to find sponsors even until the eleventh hour. Finally, we found it with full of blessings. It was the school OPA President. He is a gentleman. Within an hour, we managed to get the full amount which is RM948. I am very thankful to get to know him.

Let me just get forward the pain I felt..

I was ecstatic when we won the group match. We could feel the excitement. The smell of glory is getting nearer and nearer. We moved on to the next round which was last six. Then, teachers from respective schools gathered to draw logs. We were lucky to be the same team with SMJK Nan Hwa( Champion for two times in a row since 2011) and SMJK Yuk Ching.

After the game we played at 10:30 a.m., we proceeded to play at 2.30 p.m. It was tiring but we enjoyed. The team we faced was Nan Hwa. I have the confidence to win this game. In the same time, I felt uneasy. I had a feeling there's a traitor in the team. The technique we played wasn't the same as this morning and yesterday. I tried to give a suggestion and help a friend of mine to score. He wasn't listening and keep on saying we can't. we can't! This wasn't him at all. Usually he is a brave and giving and taking instruction.
I told him I will help him and repeated twice. He put a shamed on me and told his friends that I'm cracking stupid jokes. Dear friend, when the team is losing, there's no time to crack jokes. Even pee.

I can ensure there's a motif behind this game. I'm still finding out. I don't want the school to be destroyed simply because a stupid agreement. We are team. We came from the same school. We don't betray. If we lose, we lose with dignity and pride. I don't want you to be looked down so as I. We were friends for a long time since primary one. We used to play each other till now.

After the lost, we couldn't reach final. The hopes from Principal, Teachers, Friends and Fans diminished by us. I don't blame them because I'm the leader that should be blame. I have to protect my players. They were supporting us from the first match. Good luck ACS before we board to the court. I received many good compliments from other people. Every game we have, the fans will be there to cheer for us. I'm very grateful to the people. I told them this year our objective is to reach final and beat all the schools. To get GOLD, no matter which schools participate, we have to face. Other medal I wouldn't care much.

I did my best to play during the defending champion game. Unfortunately, maybe there's a betrayal to let the opponent to win. I don't know whether is it real but I hope everything is false. Right now, I still believe in them.

The next day, we lost again because of my concentration. I don't want to play for third place. It's either Gold or nothing. That's our concept. Three years of third place would be a shame to our school. Because of the team's attitude, we lost. I hope the 11 players will play better when we meet in future. But the pain of failing to glorify the school is still there.
