*071 - YOU'RE MY #1! :D

So it turns out that SA won 15-10.

I realised today just how much I love the ruggers. When the final whistle was blown, when I watched the team of strong men break down and cry, something in my heart just snapped along with theirs. Not only because Justin's part of the team but because of, well, everybody. The atmosphere was thick with disappointment and emotion and it was just ... heartbreaking.

But then you know something is absurdly, laughably wrong when a sobbing Evelyn runs into the arms of Justin and Justin goes "It's okay, don't cry", instead of the other way around. Haha!

Still, it was really uplifting at the same time despite the tears - encouragement & cheers from the supporters, getting caught up in a gigantic Rafflesian embrace around the school flag, unrestrained powerHUGs going all around, mutual words of comfort & strength "It's not the end, let's pick ourselves up" ... basically just feeling the love and the power of the team.

Anyway guys, scores aren't everything. You were fighters and you didn't let anybody down. To the ever-faithful RRGCS [Raffles Rugby Girlfriend Cheer Squad], you are the ultimate winners :D

You're our CHAMPIONS!! We love you guys <3

All of you on the team: Steven, Ilman, David, Jaaf, Don, Wenloong, Arjun, Glen, Ryan, Senthil, Wenjie, Tubby, Aaron, Just, Justin, Roland, Joel, Mark, Hanyi, John, Cheemeng, Stuart, Thaddeus, Jed, Kahwei, Zhehan, Nazi, Aaron - You've done Raffles proud. All of you are stars, in our eyes. Cheers to the bestest team around! :D :D :D
