Is that it?

Does this mark the end of my first ever Inter-U softball season?

The idea of winning this game did not immensely sink in until my team mates left my place at night, when I was alone at home. As I’ve said so many times, this game really meant a lot to me. We’ve ventured a long way: from UST, to CityU, to HKU, to PolyU, to meeting HKU again. Looking at the photos taken during the game, I felt that everything passed so petrifyingly fast. The game this morning, which justifies today my happiest day in CUHK, suddenly became much like a dream:
The game we’ve all been fighting for, for the whole semester, even the whole year for some, completed;
Our 5-days-a-week hard-core training, which finally paid off, over.
What’s next will be a softball-less month.
a miserable month.

You get what i mean?

This sorrow feeling of emptiness is inevitable yet has to be overcome, especially when final exams are drawing nearer… and nearer.

To be honest, I did not play up to my expectation. Could have done a lot better.

“第８bat 即係另一個第４bat 不過無禁穩定”

(f.y.i. 4th bat is usually the cleanup hitter, the home run player)

I always bat 8th for CUHK. Yes I see my problem. Stability. That’s what I’m seriously lacking. Sometimes I get nice big hits, more often the ball’s fed right into an infielder’s glove. This is ridiculous, unacceptable. I promise, I’ll practise damn hard this summer. Much harder than I ever did.

I love the spirit of this team.
Simply enjoy playing with you guys.
Such sweet memory for my first year in CUHK.

Thank you CUHK Softball for not giving me up despite all the errors I make on the field, constantly. I don’t mean to sound mushy, but I feel really really touched to get to play in every game. Thanks for giving me this chance. I really appreciate that. I hope you guys had fun at my place – ps2 drums, wii (Thanks beverly for lending!), mario kart, jamming songs, blowing water, pizza, kfc….. Looking forward to playing with you guys again in summer after our exams.

Thank you Lilian Rosinni Tammy Michelle and Jimmy for coming to watch us play. Your support really really means a hell lot to me. I hope the game did not bore you. And Thanks Jimmy for all the excellent photography. So Pro.

What a perfect end to my first ever season as a CUHK Phoenix.
