Met up my old friends few few days back and did the same old crapping.

Till then I realized they got poke into my blog so I shall be more careful with my entries =p

So few hours back was Sebas's birthday so went Seoul Garden for dinner. Seriously I pity Bear.

Pity his, urm, his "er hmm" I think only limited people know -.-

Was enjoyable & wishing Bear a good future and a good wife in future. Looking forward to small Bear, call him cub? =p

Recently doing some stuff about NS, need to defer again due to my another year of stay in RP. Well, it's troublesome -.-

This week shall be a relax week from previous IVP season, still more competitions waiting ahead, so I guess it's another new start again. Can't wait the day to come, trainings! Its fun.

Found another photo on the web =)

After tonight's match, it marks the last match for our IVP.

Overall, RP guys team did really great & show great improvements. As a team, we proved others that we are not push-overs and the potential we have.

Even now, I still can imagine our second match against NUS and still get the feel of the atmosphere, it was really great and it seems so fresh.

myself to the team: in my own opinion, it wasn't easy for us to get this far and we shall not let it end here. I believe that we still have a long way to go, and more for us to learn. Emotions & our mind were the real challenge through out that four consecutive competition nights. Like whether we had enough rest or decisions factors.To some possible mates who are leaving; for others who still wants to improve, it's not possible without you all, so let's stay on and fight again. No doubt it was a great season for us.

Still, I hope to emphasize that at times we need to compromise each other and put yourself into each others shoe, and most importantly to think wisely. Although each of us has different set of thinking, but if we can compromise & let go the burdens, we can be even better as a team.

To my captain, Hong Yuan: It was really my honour knowing you and being at the same team. There were regrets in me for not being able to play with you for many seasons I choose to op out. Nevertheless, I appreciated a lot for the words you have told me and I do really respect you even before you became the team captain. You have done us proud and all of us "yi ni wei rong" =)

To the injuries: Personally I hate this kind of fate but it happened, my applause to you all and thanks a lot for the great spirit. Of course, rest well!

For myself: I'm glad I've learn a lot after each season. Even though it was rare chance for myself to be on court with the guys, but other than cheering, loads of things were running through in my mind too. I have to admit that I was upset over myself for not being good enough to fight with the guys.

Like what one of my friends has mentioned; it was really disheartening when you can't achieve what you want. Sometimes you see your team mates on court and was unable to get the rebounds, you will have this desire at that moment to get in and grab that rebound, but was so helpless in the bench. What he said, I applied to myself too, since the fated day.

Many times I told myself not to feel disheartened because I used that as a motivation for myself. Again & again I shall try, even if I fall again, I make sure I stand up again, coz everyone has not given up on me yet so why should I.

Comparing to last time, I guess it was my mentality towards this game that has improved and I was told by my captain to turn those into my game and I really have to show it.

A year and a half more for myself to go to achieve my goal, but myself is not enough, I need you guys too. Let's fight again shall we?
=)

my small little achievement...

http://redsports.sg/category/basketball/page/2/

I stayed up till late night for a game patch, was bored & surfed through television programs. Until I saw a familiar face, I thought I was tired & it could be illusions.

The same old glasses, the body posture, power of speech, the eye.

Doubt no more, it’s you.

Loads of flashback came back out of sudden. ..

Very commendable opinions you gave there, my applause to you. How powerful the speech was, less than 3min and I already had loads of new information up in my mind already.

Still the same…

Although it was very back then that we met & spent that fruitful year, it still seems fresh in my memory.

Honestly, part of me was made up by you.

Perfection was what I’ve seen in you & I have to admit there were regrets in me.

To be honest to you, I’m suffering the retributions already.

You might not be able to see this, and I don’t know if you have ever got the chance,

If time can turn back, I won’t run away again,

I miss you, and I really do.

A chat with a friend and had loads of thoughts in my mind before I sleep. Strangely, it kept going on when I woke up. Seems like something continuous.

Team matters & relations, shan't go details about it, outcomes awaits I should say.

However the next 2 training, personally I feel that it's very important so hopefully everyone has a clearer mind set of what they want or hope for. At least a desire in them that keeps going.

For myself, shouldn't expect too much but of course, keep training.

Can't sit still at home, so I shall go earlier to court today.

Join me? =p

Till then at 6.

Finally I feel more comfortable running on court but the pain is still there.

Spent the whole of my past weekend getting treatment for my injury. The injury is at my heels after all. Imagine walking with the heels not touching the ground. Yea at the end of the day you will notice how toned your calf muscle is but its freaking sore and tiring. Honestly I didn't feel like walking at all. So through my mum's friends, I was introduced to this "Uncle". He seems very specialized although he don't really look like one, with one of his eyes blinded and he lost a leg.

Quite sad but he seems very positive about it, my respect to him.

First day of treatment was the usual "dreadful massage", PAIN. He massage and told me something like this, " aiya don't play basketball liao la, this is what you get. Don't play le, trust me". I was darn blur by what he said. Perhaps his disabilities was from basketball injuries. No comments.

"come again if you aren't feeling much better", he said when I was leaving.

The pain got me quite some time to sleep and it woke me up as well, darn sore & painful. Let alone the first step out of the bed. So I walked around the house like some lau ah pek and get myself groomed to have another treatment.

"Hello Uncle, I'm back, feeling slightly better but still cannot make it la"

"come lie down, today I shall use electric", I stunt.

"What the freaking hell is that", I thought. Should be okay, so i waited a while and he brought it a small device.

You know chinese got this kind of thing call pulse, if the blood cannot flow through this pulse properly, you will feel numb. So he said, "what I will do, is to make the blood flow smoother at this pulse because it's 'stuck' there".

So it started, "wow, indescribable feeling, can die man". Imagine you are having cramps at the same place constantly, for 15mins! 1 min I also buay tahan la, but it set a very mind for myself, I don't want to get the same injury again! Still have to say, can say don't de meh. Sian 1/2.

The next day I thought it was like heaven, glad it was much better than before. So I happily went down for the last treatment.

"Okay, very good, today we shall do the same thing, for the last". I almost went crazy. "ok lor"

Zap zap & continuous torturous zapping. Even the auntie say, "wah very pain hor", I almost gave her that 'diao' look.

Really have to thanks that Uncle, although it was not 100% the same as before right now, but guess it takes a while to fully recover. After all, the Uncle said, I should have seek for treatment on the day it starts to feel unstable, and I dreaded for 2 weeks, was headache for him he said. So, some advises to you guys out there, injuries cannot play play de ah, seek immediate help!


For today, there was training cum friendly, didn't mange to play well. Made some baskets but still the standard. Very disappointed with myself, but don't expect too much I guess, said from a friend. Next week IVP starts & our matches are consecutively 4 days, got to pray hard for our main players, hope you guys can get adequate rest.

Some things I guess are meant not to bring out to discuss, but I thought it would be beneficial for the listener. Maybe I was wrong, the other party might not feel it that way.

Well, just words for thoughts.
