♥ in the midst of dec hols!
basketball~
.
since holidays started, ive been at the game (trng/friendly/match...) for at least 4 days a week. and im not complaining. in fact, today's a saturday, no trng no match, n im missing the game, terribly. i think im a one-minded person. when i play ball, i cant study. and when i study, i cant bring myself to focus on the game. so, pls, dun let our semi (and hopefully, finals) clash with any dumb tcm quiz. if not, i think i'll prob choose studies over it... sigh.
.
suddenly, i recall sec4 days. i rem SARS forced nation-wide postponement of events, including B division matches, until arnd May. n i totally lost the motivation to play on, totally lost the feelin tt its our last year playing tog as a dunman team. im sorry i changed the whole team spirit thingie n stuff, sorry tt i might be the main factor for the match we lost to rgs.
and i also recall the days we (me, wei, ange, yueshan, jinyuan..) spent with our "new-found-friends" then. layming, yunya, xiaoping, bird, huiyan etc. i still can picture the scene at kallang bball court (sadly, its torn down by now, replaced by a patch of green that isnt so green in my heart..). the scene which we had countless encounters of fun, and my obsessed "obsession". to think of it, i wondered if it were a blessing, or a curse?
.
michelle n melissa once asked us y we nvr entered xuelian. were we not good enough? maybe. but what if we were entered into xuelian? would it be life-changing? yes, i believe. once again, would that be a blessing? its hard to say. and its hard to stop thinking about "what-if"s, especially the way i now look upon those ivps, those national players, and the way i sometimes envy them for being able to exhibit such a flawless way of playing. n a part of me knows and admits, albeit reluctantly, the slacko attitude i took upon will nvr bring me that far, even if i tried.
.
sorry baobei, for bothering u with all the nitty gritty details of my past encounters and all the politics of bball. but it had been n will continue to be a part of me. so... too bad! haha u gotta listen to me n come down for my matches!
.
ok.. more recent updates abt bball, enough of the past:
- past and present (won 30+ vs 20+)
- friendly w hall 12 (won, nvr keep score)
- friendly w hall 5 (won, 50+ vs ~10)
- match w hall 13 (won, 65 vs 6)
so far so good. depending on the upcoming match btw hall 6 n 9 (which 9 is believed to b the better of the two), we will play against the winner in semis. hmmm. poor hall 9, they were leading all the way when playin against hall 2... due to a technical foul at the v last min, the score was evened. during overtime, hall 2 had a sudden burst of energy... and won. but, lucky la, hall 2 won. cuz if nt... hall 6 will purposely lose to hall 5, and we will end up facing hall 2 at semis. bleah. okok enough of the boring details. haha main thing is:
hall 3 FINALLY has a chance of getting and WINNING finals.
FINALLY. just when im getting old and retiring frm bball soon, i get a chance at the glory. still, its too early to say anything. haha~ more updates nxt time! oh, n ISG! lets grab at least a second this year! let us not graduate with regrets! xinying! u are NOT to miss our precious matches against MAE n NBS nxt thurs!!!!!
.
baobei baobei! i bet ur fuming when u read till now. u must be thinking... bball bball bball.. what abt ME?! heh heh! muack muack! i havent forgotten u! YET. heh heh! kidding... my little lihai baobei! he went reservist for the past 5 days and got a *SILVER* in ippt! muahaha u have me to thank! the 80-100 pumping and situps i made u do everyday! donate the $200 to langkawi~~~ lalala~ n hope u like the little foxy KIDS umbrella which ive gotten for u as a reward for the wonderful silver! heh heh~ hopefully we can squeeze under it in the event of rain! haha~
he was made to slay a froggie during one of the days! sounds bian tai to me, the way they do it.
- hold e froggie by the hindlegs
- flip it upside down and slam the head against the edge of a table
- pull out the head once its unconscious
- once the head is off, peel away the rest of the skin thru the wound
- remove all interior organs
- cook it
- eat it
yikes. n that night, after describing the gruesome details of the kill, as well as how others kill chicken/quail/tortise/eel etc, he probably had nightmare, cuz while he slept, he mumbled something incoherent and ended off with "don't eat don't eat!" haha... so much for jungle survival skills :X
.
n our sushi making last week! shall update again abt it with pictures!! it was quite a success! woohoo~~
