Seems that I got quite a lot of stuff to update for today =p

Training was quite fun today & I hope it carries on like this. However I still see unhappy face from this person. I’m not sure if it’s seriousness but you gave me a feeling that you are not being able to play “comfortably”. Honestly this became a stress for me when we happened to be in the same team for drills. Got the urge to apologize to you but I guess it won’t solve the “problem”.

Though coach has some how selected the players for IVP, but I felt no assurance. Yes, I’m prepared for another outcome.

Have to comment good spirit from other team mates that has good self-motivations. Good job!

After these months of trainings after POL-ITE cup, both my ankles seem to be giving way. Personally, I emphasized myself to do loads of stretching, especially on my lower limbs. Should say it’s where I depend most for this sport. Well, I’ve got fear about it. Since RP basketball team seems to have a high rate of players having ligament problem, I’m quite afraid.

Though the best medicine for us is to avoid sickness & injuries, but some are just so inevitable.

So, walking became quite torturing, especially up-slope. Upon reaching home, my parents gave me a Chinese ointment and insisted me to use it. I jolly well used it =p because I wanted to ice my ankles eventually. Okay let me try for a while and see the effect.

For both of my free-days, Wed & Thur, my laptop & games shall be my best but pathetic companion.

Towards a new season, the “high tide” comes in, without fail.

There was one night when I sat down with a couple of the team mates and we tried to raise a topic to discuss about team relations. It’s difficult I say. For some one with no “power”, no status, no back-ups trying to advice & influence a person’s mind. However, it’s even more impossible if the other party is so persistent with his thoughts.

Compromise should be the word. Take a step in to my situation and understand and I’ll do the same too. I’m not saying this will solve everything but at least a suggestion.

So, how would you feel when you are stacking a pyramid with a pack of poker card, and it keep collapsing? How about when it collapses at the last card? Each card must be of the same size to be “stackable”.

Illustrating this to team relations, there are people who are stacking this pyramid and we must mould ourselves to be of the same size so that it’s easier for this person to stack it up.

From my past crush, “forgiving is blessing”.

I believe by talking things out, it will solve things better than using provokes. Your cup of tea – revenge & don’t get respected or talk things out and change the perception for the better. To me, revenge is something that don’t last a smile and it’s not sweet. It’s just a sudden evil thought.

Also, there are many people out there that care for the team. In belief, nobody hope the team to collapse in our generation. Everyone just has to put a little bit more trust, patience and be more sensible.

Chinese sayings – on stage 3min, off-stage 10years hard work.

Nothing is 100% right but just suggestions for thoughts.





It’s easy to say “no” but it’s hard to turn back.

I had a meet up with secondary school friends recently.

Meeting up with secondary peeps was a fruitful one as all agreed that it only felt comfortable chatting among us than anyone else. Bringing up the past brought in loads of flashbacks back in the days when we were still in uniform and the fun we had, laughing at those silly things we had done.

They took me as a “rare guest” as they only see me a few times in a year, so they like to dig-up stuffs from me. “nothing particular” I said, but only about basketball related stuff which kept the topic going as only me was active in this game. Some shaved “botak”, some continue studies, while some are still in poly.

Without fail, they will talk about BGR stuff and directed to me, start to pair me up with this and that. I had to agree with their conclusion – your first crush had a big impact on you, and although you guys are not in contact anymore but what if one day you found out she still keeps the things you gave her? What if one day she wear the watch you gave her? Also, they think I set the criteria of my future partner against her, so whoever doesn’t tally is not of my interest.

It seems so true and I still have the stuffs she gave me, since 6 years back.
