1st medal of my life
I slept quite late on Friday , 1am n all of the ppl were too , i'm nt sure hether they r nervous or whad , bt for my case , it's cause i was packing up .. den i assume yee wai n I are the earliest to wake up .. i woke up n he's alrdy awake .. den we all meet at hkncc ... den i borrow xinxun my shoes n ah wei my shorts ...
den when Jonas n Te Wei arrive , it's Team Batok Boys n Team Pikachu gathering ... den Team Pikachu , us , go to eat breakfast , den they join us abit later ..
Team Pikachu(Te Wei , EY , Me)
den we set off to mrt station where Teng Hui , Chin Shen n Joey is waiting , den we got on train tt time , Yuan Li , Rong Bao n Vadeline n dunno who also up there , thanks ya guys for ur v impt presence ..
den we go to somerset den find the scape park ... den we lik warm up there n gotten the goodie bag , a bit disappointing wif the jersey at the strt bt upon looking for quite awhile , it does look quite ok
den the schedule come out den our first match strts at 3pm .. omfg ... means we r going to wait there for 9 hours .. tt's definitely nt a gd news ..
den xiao zhang's team (dunno whad name ) , comprising of him , han rong n a cocky person called alex , strt the dqy wif their first match against another under 14 team .. which is surprisingly gd , with great size n all tt ... though they gotten trashed , I feel that I must rly compliment Xiao Zhang for he's effort , they lose dunno 4-12 or smth lik tt ... n Xiao Zhang took all the scoring load , scoring all four points for himself ..
den XinYi came ... den Teng they all tease me la ... wtf .. expected , bt thank her for her support , her presence is incredibly impt .. n I asked her for two rubber band(those black color cheap ones ) den i insert inside my middle finger where i put my finger guard(which my youngest sister handmade for me cux i injured frequently when plying yoyo)..
den Xiao Zhang they all second match also lose ... hanrong scoring the two points ... bt i feel their team 's lead shud b Xiao Zhang who do it both on the offense n defensive end ..
den StarHeat's turn(ZhiHui,he's bro ZhiLiang,Eugene)n notably , though they lose despite being given 5 point .. ZhiLiang won the second loudest applause for the day , scoring a three pointer , versus 16 yrs old , do u knw he's age ? He's 11 yrs old my man ... He's gonna go big nxt time..
den second match they r rewarded a walkover due to their opponent nt coming ... bt they r knocked out .. haix ... In my mind I was so nervous cause 2 out of 7 seven teams we sent have alrdy nt win a single match to strt the day ..
bt den ... BatokBoys saved my nervousness ... they won the first match for us , for HongKahNorth,for HeWei,for themselves , 7-3.. strting frm 0-2 , Jonas scored two three pointer and a lay up to get it 5-2 , den one ball i nv c bt AhWei also scored another point to make winning distant for the opponent ..
den they r again rewarded wif a walkover ..
they go passed the first round , tt was rly bravo , I rly felt like jumping out of my seat .. I was so heat up ... u knw ... they r all part of me , HeWei , Xiao Zhang's team might have made me headache bt they r nt hewei , Starheat only has ZhiHui in HeWei though I dun deny tt I wanna bring ZhiLiang in after seeing he's performance ..
they r the first team to get passed .. den things for AhPeng n Gran they all nt gd ... their opponent are towering over them ... men's open , cnt blame them ... bt four teams out of seven played n only one managed passed the first round ... haix ...
den I go to participate in the Blind Free Throw Contest , dunno if it's considered a cheap shot as I've been practising tt since lik 1 yr ago .. n those participants all lik nv train on tt b4 .. anw , my score is tied wif Zhi Liang and another small kid , omg .. ZhiLiang rly is bravo , 11 yrs old my man ... 11 yrs old . den we got the prize den go to eat lunch at KFC ... den I gt so nervous bt ZhiHui's angriness overwhelmed the atmosphere , EY n TeWei oso tried to calm me down .. den we got bck , watch AhAn's team YAH ply , they also gotten knocked out , both matches lost , 5/7 , only one got into second round ... tt was a bad omen ..
den Batok Boys ply their second round n they lose , losing their calmness .. bt tt match nt counted , wtf ... cux tt team was a knocked out team ... den they versus another team , half demoralised , n lost , i can c the disappointment in their faces , try to calm them down ... den the team they lose the second time is the eventual crown champ
den Cas's team 380(nt 787) , win the first match in a tight contest n the second in a convincing win bt nt a big gap n advances to second round ... good gracious , finally the second team to do tt ...
den our team ply friendly match wif some strong players , nt knowing they r going to b our finals opponent ... den ply our first match , I think is Joel's team , den we had friendly hand shake wif the opponent , cnt blame la , me n ey both friendly ppl ... den we won convincingly .. 12-3 , myself only made lik two shots , bt impt thing is we won , n me delivring the assist to EY .. den TeWei got one nice ply , hang on the air for a twist n reverse , nice shot .. evryone oso say he's fantastic .. bt main man is still EY .. den we had the ending handshake wif opponent as well ...
den our second match vs AardWolf , they r stronger then their opponent , n we beat them 15-7
, n end the game faster den 8 min cause the game ends in two way , beating ur opponent in 8 min or by gaining 15 points ... which the second being our advantage as we r quite a gd offensive team ..
den we also advance to the second round wif tt , pitting against our own friends , Team 380 , bt Chin Shen is injured ... though he's performance doesn't seemed affected , den I was sent to shut him down .. bt under the basket i cnt stop bt at least he didn't score any baskets frm outside against us .. n we won by 1 point wif 30 seconds left (sry for missing the free throw) n if i nv rmb wrongly , nv scored a single basket in this game , though assist have ... den TeWei use he's dribbling to drag the match till it ends ... our lowest scoring game , 7-6
n we advance to the finals , n team 380 to the 3rd placing finals , n i gotten real nervous .. den .. team 380 strting lose 0-3, den Chin Shen score on a lay up to crack the egg bt the opponent oso score in return , 1-4 ... den Chin Shen hot alrdy , score I think all the baskets by himself , gt four consecutive 3s , if tt was the finals , he surely MVP , so for this match , dun nid say , Player of the Game
den Finals' vs Gordon(well sounds funny) .. Gordon is RP's 1st yr star player , he cn dunk ... den i injured my ankle n lose , bt i guess no injured oso lose one ... den i cried for v long .. well ... i jux couldn't bring myself to face those who pinned high hope on us ... bt well , i received the first medal of my life
A silver ..
n we go to celebrate farewell party for teng as well .. was quite emo whole day after the competition .. den i go home wif jasmine n Jonas , double J ... den i come home jux to gt quarrel wif cleo ... wtf ... haha .. bt .. it's lik ... she's also part of the moral support i gt ... i cnt blame her as well .. my words always sound so offending , in rp oso same , even to this impt girl , it's the same ... well ... bt there's one thing i dun agree wif her saying .. or shud say i feel she dn mean it ... tt is tt i'm impt ... well ... 18 yrs of living have received different treatment frm different people , cn tell who treats me impt ... n tt's y , mux dedicate this medal to
