Go TUC!

Excellence through Sports! hmmm, not sure about that but what I do know is that both Netball and Volleyball female team won champion in the recent Intercollege Tournament!


I am with the volleyball team and it was the MAPCU event. It was held in Nottingham University which was really an impresive place. It was beautiful with the hills and mountains view, how can you complain studying there? Too bad, we did not have the chance to walk around the campus for pictures. Give thanks to Sam Tan for the awesome pictures with his DSLR.


The whole team with the coach in the center.



The whole team really worked together and do our best while in the game. Every squad wants victory, it was a real blessing to have the opportunity of getting a good coach and a few really good players to represent Taylor's in this sporting event.

No joke, we only practiced and got coaching a month before the game. It is more convenient now that we can practice in Taylor's Lakeside court. There are four courts in total but I assume that all the courts are multipurpose. For example, basketball court can be used as volleyball and dodgeball court. Futsal can be used as netball court too. Not to forget tennis court. All we got to do is to book the court with the ECA deparment. No worries about cost and etc.

It is great to see that we can all get along well with each other. Sure, at the beginning, we were all a bit distance and shy but thank God that wall was broken even before the competition! I truly believe that the best way to meet new people is through clubs and society. Extra-curriculum don't do you harm but it do you good. It is a healthy way of socializing and networking. 

I didn't know that they are all as crazy as I am when I first met them.
It is fun when you need teamwork in sports.
You are not alone!

Yup, we just love our team. 
By the way, can you see the beautiful background?



The victory run.

Thanks for the support to the girls team!

Hearts!

By the way, the after effect of this competition is SUNBURN + SKIN PEELING! I am still recovering. We are having a BBQ tomorrow night at the girl's captain place, MJ's house. Bonding Time! Plus, the girls will be sleeping over. More Bonding Time!

Hey CsYin!

Thanks so much! The team was just amazing! Great to hear that you are interested in Taylor's VB Team, we are currently on break as most of the players are on holidays. However, some of my friends and I still do meet up every monday to play with the taylor's staff team. Just for fun, not training.

Which campus and what course are you currently in? Have you had any experience in VB?

Add me on facebook, we'll chat and I will give you details. Find me: jqlee
