Memoirs of a Geennah**Geennah: Means child in Hokkien
Many of you think that this is the best team and this is the best chance to win Adventure Quest for the rest of 14th's history. Man, I used to believe that AQ '05 team was the best and irreplaceable and there would never be another team to win the AQ, and that there wouldn't be any more chances.
But I built up a full AQ team from scratch and now the team of '06 is now "the best".
One lesson: No one remains the best for long.
Continually improve and seek enhancement.
This team is good.
The team that won us 4th in 2004 was good too.
The team that was disqualified last year was good too.
I'm confident that next year's team will be shiok too.
Next year's IC would be better.
As time passes, we seek to better the past and break records that people before us set.
And we will.
People like Ming Jun and Jing Han are new blood.
Kah Kee, Joel and Cherng Ru are moving on.
And people like me and Xiao Yu are retreating into the shadows.
There won't be someone who can cycle 100 m faster than a bus to teach you guys how to bunny hop or weave around traffic.
There might not be people like Alwyn and Harold who can run non-stop.Like there wouldn't be people who need the safety vehicle any more.
I can't run another AQ as a planner, leader, member and captain anymore.
We need talented people to balance the outpour of skilled men who spearheaded AQ before.
Don't lose heart because we didn't accomplish what we aimed to.
We accomplished something else.
And got more than just sadness out of this 4 months plus.
We learned that that we can do more than just race and run and kayak, we learned that working as a team can lift us or sink us.
And we learned that success only comes with hard work and nothing is impossible if you just believe.
This time we've got a Gold Honour Roll.
Next year, I want 1st.
