today i received an SMS from an old TKD teammate. she's currently a sports trainer covering the AS-EAN University Games in Malaysia now. she's at the TKD event and was telling me about the many familiar face who were our previous opponents have now become coaches.
when asked if Singapore team won anything? her reply came like this:
"Other country's standard is way too high for Sin. But if you come you can win something"
at times like this, i feel both happy and sad. happy to know i'm still highly regarded in this sports scene and i felt really flattered. at the same time i still feel the resentment of having to leave the team without really much choice. seriously, why? why did i bow down to politics? would things have been different if i stayed determined and perservered to chase my dreams? too bad, my time is over...
but the friend's next SMS also touched my heart:
"Yes. It's too bad.. (you had to leave) But we can always be involved in other ways."
well said.
