Firstly, happy deepavali to every1 who is celebrating~ =)
As you know, tmr is a public holiday, so our training would only commence on tuesday.

Some admin matters:

(1) Jerseys
Please bring money on tues for the jerseys. Though they would not be distributed on tuesday, I need the money to place orders, the longer i take to collect, the later we get the jerseys, so please cooperate. If you are not coming, try to get the money to someone who is coming.

(2) Training Balls
As most of you have known by now, we have purchase some new balls. Now, in the ball bag, there are balls numbered from 1 - 14. Every training, i don't care who brings out/in the balls, i don't care if you want to come earlier/ leave later to do your own training, but please do your part to ensure that every numbered ball is out/in the bag. It can't always be down to Mark or Sudi.

(3) Keeping the Store Tidy
Uncle Sam has specially requested for us to help keep our shelf in the store tidy. It will help us, and help him a great deal when he is taking the equipments out from the store. Uncle Sam has done a lot for us, like the weekly mango juice, so i hope we can do just this little bit for him.

(4) Commitment
Guys, I know the next few weeks would be a busy period for many of us, with all the projects due and the exams looming. But at the same time, it will be the last few weeks before we break for exams, a break which will most likely see many of us drop in fitness, in sharpness, in performance. So, i urge all of u to make the added effort, to show some extra commitment, and turn up more often for trainings/matches before the exam fever kicks in.

Like what coach has said, this season is a more difficult season for us than any previous years, if we just base it on the teams we have in our group. Although we have finished top 4 in the past don't-know-how-many years, it doesn't mean that we have a given right to be there again this year. We have to earn it, we have to fight for it, all together.

Now's not all that far from IVP, so i say, let's take things seriously from now, and give all we can. No doubt, the challenge ahead is a huge one, but it has made me even more determined to overcome it, to once again come to at least a top 4 finish. I hope no one is doubting our own abilities to do so, because we definitely can do it. Let's show some spirit.

See you guys at training.
