Here comes the festive!

It's been a month of fasting for all musilms out there and finally, come tomorrow, it is the day where they get to fast no more!

Today or rather these 2 weeks mark the preparations for the great festive, where there is family and friends visiting from house to house, collection and the giving of green packets take place. Not to forget the baking and cooking of all the yummilcious food and cookies and kuihs to feed the mouth/s! All that delicious water-dripping food...

This whole upcoming October month will definitely be a very hectic month for the team, while they have 2 days off training for festive celebration or (just break time for the non-musilms). On Friday, the team resumes training for usual preparation for their last Youth League match the following day against Kaki Bukit, before calling it a day for their first ever Youth League participation. Come 13th October will be the annual POL-ITE games involving all polytechnics and 1 combined Institute Technical Education school.

While it has been a year since the last POL-ITE where the team finished fourth, the team is ever more more determined this time round to deliver a medal! It's time to show what the team is made of this 2nd time around!

In the mean time, Team Republic Women's Soccer Team blog would like to wish all musilms out there a Selamat Hari Raya in advance!
