Wow.. It's pouring outside. Thankfully no lightning, still can update.
We wonnnnnn!!
For the first time in Subang history, we finished second in the Under-23 category of captainball and first place in Ultimate Frisbee!! What a joy it is to win for once in Copa Iba!! =D
Kudos to those who played in the teams! Have to give a hand to our dedicated cheerleaders as well!! We seemed like the most 'semangated' bunch out there, going from place to place to cheer for our 3 teams and screaming our lungs out.
We believe it was the padi poms that contributed to our boost in performance in this years Copa Iba. We will make like, 7 for next year!! The gold will be ours!! Muahahahahahaha....
Being human, it's only natural to have that kiasu spirit in us. Copa Iba can bring out the worst in us. However, it can also bring out the best in people. I'm glad uncle Stephen introduced the phrase "Friendship first!!". It reminds us that we're representing Christ in our actions and words and that we're all on the same team!
Thank God for the few lives saved this year!! =) Copa Iba is worth having even if only one soul accepts Christ!
Too bad though, I was really hoping that Subang will nab the gold. Unfortunately, Bangsar whooped us. Haha.. They were good, really good. =) Not to mention we lost Chuen and Daniel during that match. Haha, oh well.. it's alright!!
The fight against Syah Alam (2nd place winners last year) was kind of bittersweet. I'm happy that Subang won, but at the same time I can't help but feel that maybe Shah Alam should have won that game. There were those goals that they should have received. Of course they were upset about it. I would be too if I were them.. Despite victory we didn't cheer loudly with screaming and jumping.
I knocked out at 9pm that night, haha. 11 glorious hours of sleep. The night before Copa Iba I only got 3 hours of sleep, thanks to Argentina and Germany. Why?? Oh, why Argentina?? John, Leonard, Jane, Crissy and Hannah came over to my place to watch the game that night. Most of them were asleep downstairs or in Tina's room by the second half, Haha.
I'll never ever complain about waking up early for Copa Iba ever again. The church from Ipoh left their church to come to RRIM at 2am!! Poor souls.
And finally to end this post, this is for you Ken! XD
Friendship First!!

I was actually pretty proud with our church for not gloating after defeating Shah Alam.I think the coolest part of the finals was when a Bangsar dude massaged Chuen when he was down.I found that uberly noble.I guess the whole tournament's purpose isn't so twisted after all...
yeah!!! i like the pic of crissy! nice esp when considering the stressed out one of her when MAKING the beloved padi poms in ur previous post! :) shows that it's all worthwhile and that the hard work the cheering team put into copa iba as well!!
i think the playing teams had excellent SUPPORT (not just captainball but even the frisbee team!!) that made all the difference. well, it did for me when i was tired or simply conceding goals :) thanks so much all u cheerleaders, padi-pommers and screaming sjgc sideliners!!!!:D u guys made copa iba so special!
