Champions nonetheless


We stepped onto the field as the underdogs. We took a count, our statistics were wonderful. zero practices, zero victories, zero field experience together. Yet together, under the blazing sun and the dried up grass beneath our feet, we stood. the whistle blew, and the disc took off to the sky.
On a very short notice, me, jonathan, yin bin, kun heng, kong weng and jun hong finally decided to represent our class in the CHS Olympics frisbee competition. Being the underdogs there, we never though once that we would have a chance of being a gold medalist team, yet, with the spirit of 5S4 burning in the core of our hearts, we took up this challenge to win glory for our class.

I will spare everyone the details of our every encounter. However, to let everyone know this, though we failed to step into the finals, I can sincerely say that we actually have the standards of a finalist. In fact, if it wasn't due to a problem that we all failed to curb in time, we would have been the finalist in this competition. This is all due to the fact that we lack understanding of each other, didn't know each other well, and in the end, fielding the wrong person in the wrong position.

Nonetheless, what's done is done, no point whining about it. But I must say, we all had fun. Together, battling it out on the field, trashing people and furiously fighting back when things were going wrong. This all brought us a step closer to each other. We got to know ourselves and each other better. So what if we lost, so what if we could have won. The main thing is, we went in to have fun, and we DID have fun. Therefore, we are all nothing but champions.

It's been a great pleasure playing the matches with you guys. I'm really proud to be part of the team. I would also like to appologize for not performing to my best and for being a lousy captain. Still, we are a winning team together, and not even the winner of the competition can say anything against it. This is our spirit, this is our glory, this is 5S4.


Min Chern - Did the basic handling
Yin Bin - Managed the midfield
Jonathan - Played defense with finesse and ran up for offense on the que "chocolate"
Kun Heng - Star scorer of the day, wonderful defender too. If only he ran up sooner, lol.
Kong Weng - Very humble midfielder, only revealed his true skills later on and scoring with a
hammer shot too!
Jun Hong - Never once gave up on the midfield and offence.

We may all look so down in the pic (except bin, the guy always on adrenaline wan) however on the field, we were way crazier then that. We take a long time to warm up, but when we do, we're ass pawning people. That's 5S4-ians for you.
