At 12:03p.m. I received a call.
"How did it go?" I wondered, and nervously pressed the "answer" button on my phone.
"Hello boy!" my Dad said to me with a cheerful ring to his voice.
My heart leaped, as that could only mean one thing - we're taking the challenge trophy home this year and keeping it!
Third time's the charm, and I'm just so happy.
Looks like we actually did go all the way this year, and all that effort coaching them in the beginning was worth every single drop of sweat in the end.
We did it.
It wasn't easy, but we we did it in the end.
You guys may not know it, but you made the dreams of so many of us come true with your win. Thank you for sharing it with us. I love all of you so much.
A loving brother, friend and coach,
Kevin Chan

Kevin I LOVE YOU
this is so true:
You guys may not know it, but you made the dreams of so many of us come true with your win. Thank you for sharing it with us. I love all of you so much.
I was *almost* going to never talk to you people again when I found out that you guys had gotten so far in the Wira without so much as a whisper.
Then I find that you guys win.
That almost makes up for all of it. Almost.
Congrats!! I love you guys to bits.
ShernRen,
How to contact you lahhh? I'll get your msn from Andrew ASAP. (: We should all meet up when we're all back in KL lah.
Andrew,
You hit it on the nail with:
"There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the spirit of DJ.
This is why we have 10 debating titles.
This is why we have 2 cheerleading titles and 4 runners-up.
This is why Djians are damn fucking proud to be Djian.
Because we have our priorities right."
(: Can't stop smiling after reading those words.
This is why DJ is so freaking awesome
congrats kevin!
Yup, as such is the DJ spirit!
Just transferring some of my tagboard posts here. This is something that I would love to remember and reminisce many years from now.
When you believe, great things are possible. (:
