MASUM - Adversity!

Our first major adversity. One of our twins, Ming Chian has come down
with a fever.

Thankfully it's not terribly bad but he is weak and feeling cold.

Some players began complaining about "bad luck" but we told them that
every team that wants to win a championship, must expect and overcome
adversity. We reminded them that even our 2007 Champions team had to
overcome their share of adversity - injuries to starting PG (Kenny
Tham), starting SG (Gan Wei Jian) and to backup PG (Fong Kean Chang) -
with each missing different games.

We will face and overcome all adversities. First priority is health
and safety of our players. Coach Pin has already brought Ming Chian to
see the standby night doctor last night and will bring him to the
Clinic this morning.

Other players have been briefed on the changes in our rotation and
they are all ready to step up and cover for our team mate who is ill.

Our goal and focus, both short and long term, remain the same - defeat
UPM tonight (11pm) and go on to win the Championship!
