- For Our Dearest Coach, Mr. Cedric Koh -
Sadded...
Why??? Why whenever we win something we will some how lose something? So contradicting.
Yes, we did win the Queenscup B divison match but now the most painful thing is that we are going to lose our favourite and dearest coach. He said that he is going to work at ISA, he also do not want to leave us but the contract was up so it was unavoidable. When this was announced, tears flow down the c girl's red cheeks. Some B boys was astound and were rooted to the ground when they heard this astonishing piece of incident. Tears were rare but it did flow for most. Hearts were as if tons of knifes, arrows and spears penertrating through causing to bleed profusely with no physical wounds...
*********************************************************************************
Remembering those day when we were still Sec 1, he treated us like his sons. When we won queenscup, we brought glory to him but he paid for the 3 missing balls and treated us to Burger King. At the second volleyball camp, I was recogised as the official referee with the little sponge volleyball keychain. With the BBQ for the first, it made us remember it for life the fun moments we had together. What about those days after trainning we walked to the MRT station, have lunch at Redhill or even the days we watched your matches? No other coaches will do this.
*********************************************************************************
Haiz, time do flies, with a blink of an eye, almost 3 years when pass me leaving me unknown. He once said to me before, " Your batch will be the last one I will be taking." But now, the reality is that we still have not completed our race together with us, the last one south zone. Are you leaving us to complete the race under the hands of another new and green coach? Most of us don't want that to happen. Could you stay? I don't mind running 100? 1000 rounds for you. What you want? I will endure it. Not only the volleyball team will want you to stay, I strongly believe that the whole school won't be accept this and even those people who had graduated. I understand how you feel, this is what we feel too. A meaningful 3 years now is bading goodbye.
*********************************************************************************
Heavyhearted we feel. But now we should accept the fact, face reality. But no matter what decision you make, we will be supporting you, standing by you like you do. We wish you all the best in what you would want to accomplish in your life. You are always the best coach in our hearts and never another coach will take over your position in our hearts and souls. Thank You for passing your professional volleyball skills to us and at the same time learn the true meaning of discipline.

Some questions to ponder,
Will the new coach walk with us? Play with us? Have lunch with us? Go sentosa with us? Camp with us? Train us like teammates? Take time off for us? Think of drills? Care for us? Brief us with encouraging word? or even organising trips for us? Just like what Mr Koh keep doing and reinforcing ' Humble in Victory, Gracious in Defeat' or just keep on thinking of winning but not our difficulties and look down on weaker players? I think its for heaven to know and for us to find out... and,
I do not want a China guy to be my coach!!!
