This is Jerrard here writing to you which is to be sort of my memorandum or should I say my time is finally up with the hyenas. I don't know if some people think its gay to actually write this sorta stuff down. I just feel that I need to write this so when I have finally grown a mustache, I'll have my cigar lit and looked back to the wonderful times in playing dodgeball.
Well, I vividly recall that a good friend of mine, Jun Hsien had called me to join a sport in college when we were freshman in Taylors.Despite pursuing different courses, he stressed that I should join Dodgeball.Honestly, I must say, its the decision that I have not regretted in my life of being part of the hyenas family.
Year 2009 was indeed a blissful year for the Hyenas. I remember back then when we the juniors,didn't have a proper name to ourselves. Our very first team name was Black and White.Participating in our very first competition with just 4 guys and 2 girls. Black and White were seen as the underdogs throughout the competition. After some hard fought battle, we manage to cliched 3rd prize.It was a good start considering we formed a team right from scratch. Then we changed to Hyenas-X. Believing that we are the new generation of Hyenas!
Just to mention a few moments....
I had the opportunity to participate in the first ever campus dodgeball league 2009 at E@Curve. Oh my, what a wonderful experience it was.From all those times, seating at the stair case right near the elevator waiting for our game to start and enjoying horribly to the taste of our cheap dinner in which I am certain you all agree with me,from sharing stupid and yet epic moments with the seniors and from shouting and chanting hyenas all the way, not forgetting rocking the crowd with our ferocious play yet still be able to entertain the crowd . It was the Wednesday of the week to look forward for me. Here, I would justlike to apologize for one thing and that is the horrendous dance routine that I made up for the hyenas.I guess desperate measures calls for desperate actions. It was taken from the movie ' Remember The Titans' but of course with a little bit improvisation.Its because of this tournament, we actually got to know together a little bit more. It was just like an excuse of forging friendship among us.
It doesn't stop there. We manage to come up second place in the league. Something that we are really proud off. All those times we go for trainings whether it was rain or shine or we deliberately drag our asses up to training just for the sake of it. It all paid off well I must say.
It'll still keeps going on..... We were even given the privilege of representing Malaysia to play a friendly match against team of HONG KONG.It was truly one epic moment of being able to play and whoop some asses at international level.I am sure the seniors and the juniors were gung-ho about this particular event.
After today, clinching the 3rd price again in Jackpot Madness with the help of Inti team. I must say that my time with the Hyenas has come to an end. I am not sure whether I'll be participating with you all in future tournaments. I guess its safe to say since I have already departed to lakeside campus and given a task to form another team there unless circumstances permits.Anyway, as much as I hate the fact we are splitting up, life has just gotta go on man.Hopefully I'll still be able to attend monday training from time to time.
I'll just like to say a big thank you to all the dodgeballers,dodgettes and everyone who is involved in making this a truly one epic experience. Thanks man.
TO THE HYENAS SENIORS,
Ironically, the hyenas junior has never and I guess will never be able to beat you guys in a dodgeball match. Games in between are not counted by the way. Let's just keep it that way eh?.
VENKI,SONUL,ERWIN,KARISHAN,SEAN,KEN LING,ALYSSA,JANE,ALEX,MICHAEL CHEW!
Thank you man!
Cheers!
