1) I finished work on Saturday 26/5 morning and with Hana and Rus, straight left for SAKTI. Thank god Hana was driving and Rus was the co-pilot. Me? Slept most of the way...hehehe...
2) One of our main centre, Ain, her dad passed away a week before the tournament. We had her replaced by a form 2. (It was not a good news for the team, but alhamdulillah we still managed)
3) The smallest and youngest player is in form 2- but she played well during the game with SMSSMJ despite of her 1st experience in the team - wait until she's form 5!
4) Due to Ain's absence, we were short of 1 centre - Meen had to prepare herself at the last minute to replace Ain's position.(Meen is a guard). Other than using Meen, we also used all the seniors as "centre" to temporarily replace her for all the games in the group; if other teams noticed it.
5) Another bad thing happened, our main centre, Meera, sprained her ankle badly in the 1st game, and she only played a few minutes in the semi and performed well in the final. (I know her ankle still hurts during final - it was worth it!) She finished up the whole bottle of minyak hijau! We even made her wear her shoes as usual during every game, pretending nothing had happened to her.Hehehe...
6) We stayed at the 'Bomba's hostel/accomodation and we managed to get them to cheer for us for 2 games before the finals.Whoever was there, that explains the 'men' supporters!
7) The 1st 2 nights we had 'pasar malam ' food for dinner. Nope..it was not only a dinner. We practically over ate from dinner to supper as we bought so many kinds of food - can't resist the temptation!
8) We had one of our dinner at a cafe in Bandar Penawar(recommended by Esty for its excellent chicken chop), and had to wait for nearly 2 hours for our chicken chop to arrive. No way I'm going over there again! It does not matter if the food is good.
9) There was an article written in the daily tourney bulletin about our 1st game. The person named as the 'Best Player' was the name of our Srikandi who sponsored the jersey and not the player herself.
10) SESMA, who trained together with us in Terengganu during the Intensive Camp Dec last year, defeated TKC and some other schools and managed to get to the semi-final. Unfortunately, they met us during the semi.
11) They don't have KFC in Bandar Penawar or Desaru !!
12) On the way to Desaru, our car was overtook by the TMJ's Black Ferrarri.
13) The players' t-shirt which is worn with the jersey, is actually a turtle neck t-shirt.
14) I took MC's bus back to KL. Before the bus even moved , I'd fell asleep. Only got up when we got to Pagoh R&R.....that was about 4 hours.
15) And after all the excitement of winning, when I reached KL, I couldn't start my car - no batt. Had to wait nearly 3 hours to get it replaced. What an end to an exciting week....
