Private and confidential

dear xxxxxxx,

xxxxx here. let us be open a bit alright? i am so sorry if this letter hurts you or whatsoever. really really sorry. well, the purpose of this letter is to comment on your attitude. well, it is a bit negative. you tend to give up easily. even before anything starts. for example, when i was doing the selection for the nus open. then, me and xxxxxx were discussing about which event we are really confident in. upon hearing that, you said something which actually reflects yourself. you said that, "no matter what, we will still lose." not only that, just now, you kept on saying abt CLS timing and when i said we finished top ten last year, you said "that's because many teams were disqualified."

you are true xxxxxxx. who are we if we were to compare with them. at times, you have to think the other way. last years poly 50 for example. many teams were disqualified due to their lack of practice and also lack of communication. we did not get disqualified, so that means we were the better team. we can communicate well and in fact work as a team. what is the point of having many fast runners and yet they still cnt win. about the nus open, yes. we are at the disadvantage cause most of us are not swimmerss compared to you, xxxxxx and xxxxx. but at least we tried and we dared to step forward and try, compared to those who did not even try.

xxxxxxx, i know what is the message that you wanna highlight. but in one way, what i can see from what you said and did, it reflects your ownself in being not confident. deep inside you are not being confident with your ownself. lets say if you were to go for the CLS selection, will you be as fast as them?will you swim as fast as other WSs? why must we adore other clubs? why can't we make history? make ppl adore us.

the feeling of satisfaction is better than playing for other club. let us make LS into a somebody. lets not show that we are not confident. we have to be confident though we are not confident. that is by workin hard. i am really sorry if i hurt you in this letter. but what you did will lower down the morale of the other members. try not to repeat the same mistake. btw, who am i to say all these to you. im sorry once again. btw, all the best for your run tmrw and hope that we can be like normal ya! =) sorry once again...very sorry.
