High-five!

I captured this picture which displays the lower part of Piala Hamdan Tahir in 2006 just after CAGERS ’06 won the trophy for the third consecutive year. I was a bit mad at that time, seeing that the organizer had not yet made an effort to put down our name as the winner in 2005 after a year has passed. Of course seeing our name etched on the trophy as 2004's winner already made me proud since I was also in that winning team. But 2005 is a different year altogether; it was my own year, and I was the captain of the team. The fact that it was my second personal trophy also made a different story, since there was obviously an extra bit of pride there.

So when I received the news that this year’s CAGERS had just won the fifth PHT on the trot a few hours ago, I just could not imagine to what level of satisfaction this latest win must have brought them into, and how proud they must be feeling. I must take this opportunity to congratulate each and every one of the players for another job well done. As always, the highest appreciation must go to Mr. Liew for his undying spirit to coach the team, and also to Abang Ise and Kak Ana, as well as the rest of the old boys. I still remember back when I was still part of the team circa 2003-2005, Mr. Liew had a very clear vision of winning the trophy each year for the next five years, and he convinced us all that such feat would not be impossible if we set our goal straight. Today he has proven this, and I have nothing but a deep respect towards this man. Let’s just hope that this will not end here, but at the moment let’s just celebrate this victory!
