Demoralised again n again

^Hardwork is essential as noone always holds the victory
use failure as the source of motivation for improvement ..

Yesterday

read some bball comics b4 I go out , eat chicken rice den go to the court , there is one particular comic which I was v attracted to , was abt a china bballer's dream into making it into the NBA , how he work towards it , though the stry is short n incomplete , bt it's nice ..

den I reach there straight away ply full court , wah , strting still ok la , den ying ren they all made a comeback and eventually win us .. hmm , den after tt ply halfcourt matches , also like cnt ply , bt still win cux David and Cassidy r v strong ..

den we lose after dunno hw many matches come out , was demoralised and tired , bt I still wanna ply , bt I knw v hard tt ppl will ask me ply their team , n even Jonas was chosen instead of me when teams dun have enuff ppl , bt I cn blame no others la ..

den after tt Jonas and David go to another court , den me n one 13 yr old boy who is taller than me by 1 cm ... (WAAH!) join Ying Ren and Cas continue their match , den I decided tt I should try to strt my engine alrdy .. though nt super duper good , bt at least I got help out the team win comfortably ...

dn , after tt , suddenly Ying Ren suggest I ply wif Jonas one on one , which I nvr for a long time , bt I thought if we ply at the same intensity den should b able to win , bt , eventually , lose to him 7-5 .. rly dunno hw to say , lik dug a hole in the ground n cover my head inside .. bt I must admit my intensity n concentration rly sucks thru the match la , I missed three or four shots I should have scored ... bt I didn't expect to lose , cux at least in the past 5 times we plyed , I won n it didn't took me much those times .. dunno hw to describe the feeling , bt it sucks totally , nt tt he isn't strong , bt .. dunno hw to xplain , bt I am jux so fkin pissed ..

the only gd thing which followed up is I try to touch board lay up , managed to lay my finger on it alrdy , bt still , in match if I do tt , noone will notice cux no sound or v obvious showing tt my hand touched the backboard ..

den I quickly cycle home , bath , go eat mac wif Teng Hui , Chin Shen n Rong Bao , den Rong Bao drove us bck to fitness n ding dong there , den he use e brake .. lol , we all fly forward ... den another funny thing is when one bangala urine on the grass on the fitness , den we go warn him

den I today morning wake up , saw the desktop wallpaper , which is at the top of this post , den I feel tt it's rly meaningful , n I vow to myself , nxt tym if I face Jonas again , I must face him wif full intensity , the result is nt impt , bt I must try my best to win ..

demoralised again n again on the same day ... plus the fatigues n all tt , rly mux consider the sentosa trip to relax my body alrdy ..

cn i approach u when i need u now ? i dun think so

it's my life

^My NBA live 08 plying dynasty mode , Boston , 8 plyers wif more than 8 pts , 6 plyres wif double figures , 5 with more than 15 , 4 with more than 20 , and 3 players wif double figures of steals , 4 players with more than 5 assist, evry player wif more than 60% field goal percentage , 100 % free throw pct , 87 points total deficit

Hmmm , Yesterday

went to RP wif Rong Bao , den we eat at TRCC , I dunno hw he feels bout the school , bt facilities wise , I think he was quite gd wif it , lol .. bt I guess he had enough of the walking ..

den we went bck , I cycle to new shelter court , ply bball ... full court , den me team wif Guan Kai (190+) n Adam n another few , thought we going lose ,cux opponent is Jun Hao n Ming Xiu they all , bt still ok , we strting blow them out , 18-9 , bt den they say the match mux b 21 points , which means our last ball must be a 3 , den we panicked , cux our team dn rly have a three point shooter , so I was asked to take the shot , den I missed the first three attempt ,Guan Kai oso miss one , den they catch up wif us , 18-13, (ming xiu guarded me v closely cux he knw I got shoot threes one) , den last attempt , Guan Kai screen for me , den I saw Ming Xiu coming so I jump fall backwards abit , hang until the highest elevation , release , den swish ! Woooohoooo!

In all , I at least got 9 points , 1 assist , 2 boards , 1 blk ..hehe

den those strong ones come alrdy (David they all ) , den we ply , den after tt Ah Wei n Kim Weng n Jin Xing also come den ask me ply for them vs Shen Long who came also (Shen Long = a team formed by YISS players who are a age or two older than me)

den Zhi Kai still the same sia , ply friendly strting den lose tt time ply dirty , bt lucky Ah Wei on form den we win , lol .. win 2 , so we won straight ...

den after tt team wif both ViMar n Sashi , first time team wif both together , lol , den after tt they all gamble , until morning ... den David , Wan Jun , Lindy acc me to eat Mac breakfast den go home , on my way home , cn still smell the forest fire , which is from the forest behind my house ..

today morning , woke up late , c Shi Long's message , say ask me join he's teen games team , actually wan ask him if I could ask my friends along , den ask Cas and David , bt I think Cas n David might nt click wif Yu Song , should be can wif Shi Long though .. hmmm ... bt nvm , I have faith that Shi Long can find good teammates who can ply good for us , den we win champion in the teen games ...

dn help my mum do housework , strting was rly frustrating cuz i Seh Seh (blur frm waking up) den she nag at me for evrything , den I rly v fed up , bt after tt she soften her tone , den I strt to ok liao .. lol ...

I wonder how r u now , bt I feel lik I shouldn't interfere too much into your affair as well ...
it's not that I dun wan to care anymore , but it's because I cannot anymore ..

^Y not ?

Today

I woke up , den go to eat chicken rice , today they give the free soup is corn n carrot soup , den go to new shelter court , den David say evryone ply at old shelter , so I go to old shelter ...

dn ply quite normal , lik yesterday , i concentrated more on the post ... lol .. except tt becux of a sprained right thumb , i concentrate more on the offensive side , lik making post assists n scoring in the post , n to me , it was quite successful .. especially when u r in the same team as Chin Shen , nt saying tt it's bad , it's a gd way , u learn to entrust the scoring load onto a teammate n learn to sacrifice for the team , through teaming wif him , I learnt how to entrust a teammate for scoring n also have an increasing interest in rebounding n post scoring , cux I knw tt if I cn do well in tt area , it nt jux benefit me , bt the cooperation between me n him ...

dn jus nw , go to eat supper wif him n Rong Bao , den go home alrdy ..

strting ply rly no much challenge , bt after tt , i go eat dinner wif one male fren, shud say is sec sch junior , come bck , strt to challenging alrdy , den those small kids nowadays , rly damn mischeivous , if singapore no law n if they almost same age i sure either use ball hit em or hit em wif fist alrdy ...

Melvin - Chris Bosh (lefty dominator in the post n mid range)

Wei Ming - Derrick Rose (the high jumping n speed , n shooting )

Yu Song - Dirk Nowitski(gay shooting , knee up fade away )

Shi Long -Michael Jordan/Deron Williams(he's fade away totally lik mj's bt style of ply more to DW)

Jeremy (national Youth) - Jason Kapono(three point shooting)

Tian Zhuo - Charles Barkley (undersized post scorer , speed , v accurate shooting)

Hong Xiong - Hedo Terkurglo(damn good at three pointer, passing , finishing at the basket)


Xiao Hei - Kobe Bryant(instinct three pointer , mid range , n he's reverse lay up)


Ah Yong - Tim Duncan(shoot the bank shot v well , rebound n passing also)


Albert(philipenes)-Rafer Alston(smooth dribble , streetstyle drive n finish , street style assist)

Leslie-Eddie House (high arch three pointer , seldom drive or pass)

Yu Yang - Lamar Odom(damn good lefty shooting , rebounder , shot blocker )

den i go to the court n wasn't as efficient at the strt , when I didn't have a rly v accurate three point shooting percentage the whole day .. bt it's also a blessing in disguise after tt when I gt to shift my gears n drive in n kick to my teammates , n we won lik 4-5 straight b4 coming down , wif teammates who I suppose was so incomplete , though there is one of them v v gd ..

i find tt I cn only ply lik tt when I m the controller of the ball , lik point guard .. if i'm asked to ply the wing , I cnt drive in as easily ..

n to those three unknown ppl , though I dunno whad's ur motive of doing all these la , bt if u r rly nt v hpy abt me , jux say it lik a man , dun nid hide here hide there..

Should I laugh or should I cry ?

^Ray Allen , in my opinion , the best 3 point shooter ever

Today , woke up damn early , cux I scared I will b late , den I turn on my com watch NBA live streaming , Cleveland vs LA , was v exciting , bt Cleveland lead by 10 at the half when I got out , den I ride to Lakeside Pri Sch on bike , den passed alot of traffic lights , quite guilty , bt no choice ..

den in the end after 20+ min , reach there , discover tt I was too early , bt in the end , still managed to walk her to sch , i dunno hw to descibe bt it's the second best day in these passing 3 years of my life , first being M.Y. 3 on 3 when Xin Yi came n support n I first time nv lose , break the curse .. n got my first medal .. thought it's thx alot to Yee Wai and Te Wei ...

bt I was v v hpy , bt I dun dare to look at her much , bt .. ya , bt to her it's nth more than a normal fren walk her to sch barhx , cn only wish tt she will b hpy wif her bf ..

hmm , den reach hm , accurately 7 30 am , slp till 3 50 pm , dunno whad I was doing ... den I realise I miss the gym session with David n was lik omg .. he sure angry , bt he nv angry , wah , he's rly godly sia , nt jux skills , character also ..

dn I ride to buy KFC to go to shelter court eat , n I find my three point stroke today quite higher den average , so I try , bt didn't try alot as well , at least above 40% ba in evry match except one where I was forcing it alot ...

den make Yin Ren n David lose , wanna say sry bt I scared say sry alrdy they more angry (cause Cassidy always ask me nt to say sry bt to do smth bout it)

den , ply 5 on 5 , was lik ply till .. strting still gt hit 1 three pointer , bt after tt , I nv gt a chance to shoot a open three alrdy .. cn only hit mid range jumper .. n kana steal by Abu .. argh .. embarassing ..

den David teach me hw to ply aggressive bt I think my progress is still v lil , disappoint him alot I think .. haix ..

^Taken long ago , Me , Chin Shen , Yuan Li , Rong Bao , Teng Hui

Today , I reach David's house dwnstairs' bus stop wait for him for bout 15 min when I was on time , den he nv come down , I sms him dn actually he still aslp ... dn I go up he's house find him , wah , so long nv stand on condo ground alrdy , v nice , den the dog v friendly ... bt too friendly ..

lol , den David's com cnt watch live streaming videos so cnt watch the Lakers vs Boston matchup , den he make me cornflakes wif milk , v nice n healthy ... hehe ..

dn we set off to the gym alrdy , den we do the stuffs , waah , he's physical trainings rly v professional and tough , he did all those explanations and stuff ...

den I go bck to he's house , den we chat n wait for him eat lunch den we set off alrdy , he go work , I go home ply com n do some stuffs , den Jonas walk wif me to the bus stop near west mall , luckily we set off quite gd timing , going reach tt bus stop tt time downpour ... lol

den we n ah bu n pealyn go to shelter court , ply , dn my 3 pters are falling today as well ...

bt I was mentally exhausted n didn't ply v well ..

dn sit down eat my dinner , which is Mac , den go home tt time David teach me some new drills again ...

hmm ... rly gd to train wif him , he always give me something new to do , n I find tt I improve alot wif alot of he's creative drills ...

dn ... it's lik find tt these few days keep having hot temper over small things , probably becux I'm too mentally exhausted ...

dn Ah Bu sit bus wif me on the way home talk alot wif me .. I feel alot more comfortable chatting wif him n David ...

sometimes , I have to agree wif one sentence David said ... Friends are worthless ... I agree abt tt n I think if someone got angry n threaten u wif the friendship , it means he doesn't treat the friendship important ...

I have to admit , those guys in my picture above were not my best friends in the past...

Marcus , he was some sort of someone I didn't took notice of frm the strt when I begin to knw him again when he transfer to YISS ... bt we became gd frens when we strted to chat more .. n I also admit he's the best among them all ...

Chin Shen , we sort of become friends only last yr , n at the strt , I knw tt he didn't rly treat our friendship seriously , especially mine ... n becux of disagreements on the court , we r nt rly on super super gd terms for a period .. n gt one time late last yr , he punch me in the face for whad I feel is to show tt he is nt any pushover among our larger group of bball frens ... n he even accuse me of plying rough as the reason for punching me , bt I have to say tt after tt incident , becux of both of us being more tolerant of each other n forgiving , n he doesn't have anything to lose frm tt incident anw , so we gotten closer n closer ...

Yuan Li , he is I think , the one who took the longest , we lasted 3 yrs as rivals and enemies , n he keep using physical attacks on me , cx he wan to show tt he gain superiority against me ... bt thru sm incidents , me plying n winning him in a 1 on 1 , n me borrowing him money when he found tt he lost he's wallet .. he begin to respect me more n more as a fren ... N we were even at one period , I think , each other's closest friend ..

Teng Hui .. he used to bully me abit , though nt alot at first , bt he's character made him v sociable n we become best friends eventually , till now , cux we always share evrything in between us and accept each other's differences ...

many ppl claim each other as buddies , gan , all tt , bt do they rly treat each other as impt as they treat themselves ? For me , n i believe tt my group of best friends , all five of us , plus rahim n zi hao , we treat each other either as impt as ourselves or even more impt than ourselves ...

bt actually tt's nt the point la ... this is jux something I think of on my way home , actually , I was thinking of the crossroad tt I've been thinking for some time ... n I guess I nid a chat wif Joshua , Melvin or even Amber to discuss bout the things I'm going thru , I have to admit , I like the ppls in the church , alot of them are to me , v impt , though nt till lik my best friends ... bt if I nv go to church , I knw tt the friendship between us will surely b affected .. n tt's y I'm always hesitant abt discussing the topic wif them , bt I learnt smth , if the ppl rly treasure the friendship they have wif u , it wun b broken so easily ..

bt I feel tt I shudn't drag the matter till a point where there's no turning back ... haix , headache sia

Life is pissing me off

^Lebron James , 52 pts , 11 asts , 10 boards @ Madison Square Garden

I , as a supporter of KB24 , of cux feel tt Kobe topped him , bt to c the numbers , I cnt deny tt he put up great numbers n is worthy of being a bright young star ..

Today , do my workout , many days nv do alrdy cux I dun wan stress my body tt much , find tt I dun rly have cramp today , den Rong Bao n Weina and me went to Lot1's Pastamania to eat lunch , lol .. r they rly jux frens ? I wonder hw close they will b if they r couples ..

dn we went to find my mum n saw chin shen n Rahim helping out my mum at west mall , den I pack food for my mum n go to ply bball at old shelter ..

today felt quite ok , though I fell into a shooting slump at the strt ... bt overcame it especially after David they all ply at the other side , I was lik a facilitator on the court , top the points (or top 2) and assists(sure is top) alrdy ..

bt I feel tt I could of cux have done better as well ... hmmm ...

dn I acc David and Abu to Pasa Malam , dn to ATMs to try to withdraw money (David no cash to top up ez link)

dn acc them to wait for David's bus , dn Abu ask me ride him home , bt i dunno hw to ride someone without the stand which my bike dun have , in the end he ride me , v gayish , lucky no pretty girls walk past ...

dn I go home liao ...

sometimes I feel so irritated by life and feel tt I shud gt a long sleep of one week ... stress is rly building up frm both sides of religion , n being a part of CHC has rly eaten alot of my time which was originally commited to basketball , as well as securing my wallet .. ppl say wallet have hole , my wallet rly have a hole , no wonder no matter hw much i put in I will end up lik v poor , which partly is due to the amount of activities in the cell group, I haven even thive alrdy use up more than 20% of my allowance on the cg activities alrdy ..

n my mum say I this yr will gt big injury , warn me to be careful , hais .. shagged , wanna avoid also cnt , bt I hope tt cn avoid a big one , I dun wan any injuries to distract my path towards bball ..

awww , I jux hope tt I cn turn into a pro bballer n set up a family wif someone I love .. is tt v difficult ?

when u first came within my sight
I was so captivated by u
I dun turn left or right
cause I knew
if I miss this ,I will never gt to capture you with my eyes ever again

whad m i aiming for ?

^trying to model my game after him

Today
hmmm , my mum was lik nagging n scolding me evryday , haix , smtimes i jux hate hw I'm being treated in this way , I'm nt saying tt the work load is rly unfair , bt they way she speak to me , it's lik .. y cnt she lik speak in a more pleasant way towards me lik hw she speak to my sisters?

hmm .. dn I wanna go support Yusong's students bt too late cux my mum ask me help her vacuum the floor , I reach clementi station jux nice , they finish the match n Yusong called , felt so frustrated ... bt also , hpy to knw tt the hillgrovians lose by only 16 points , mayb to many ppl , tt's alot , bt if u watch hw assumption sch ply , they ply v well , n a trash was expected , bt I still think tt if u r a determined team , u wun lose more than 29 points .. n I cn say I am hpy for them , the high spirit they r plying at ..

dn I go to eat alone at KFC , den go to the old shelter court , dn ply wif Nelson they all , dn I block the bal out of one of the tall n pro indian players and he's teammate laugh at him , though I feel v insulted cux they r trying to also imply tt I could nv have done tt , haha , bt oso actually by luck only ..

dn at night when David they all came , den we ply matches , was lik , wasn't in the outside shooting mode today , jux hit those mid range shots today , bt I'm more daring n confident today , compared to last tym team wif David always lik mouse, only hide at one corner camp for open shots , today hitting those mid range , floaters and lay ups , even coming up wif steals and assists ..

bt I knw too , n they mentioned as well , this is nt my perfect game , there is still room for improvements .. n I agree as well .. I must work on my moves upon receiving a pass and also on playcalling ..

den jux nw researching on Bermuda Triangle n find it v amazed , bt of course , the mystery is actually said to be a myth for marketing .. n also the Loch Ness Monster , lol ...

y couldn't you tell me hw impt a part i ply in ur life ?
at least i would den knw , hw to give up on u ..

Stucked in a crossroad

^phenomenal performance by Kobe Bryant , 61 pts in MSG , 20 for 20 frm free throw line

well , yesterday , woke up n find tt David gt msg me for training , so go for he's training , den I rush there without eating my brkfast or lunch .. Reach there , did some shooting drills b4 David arrive , den he trained me alot on confidence n I think I did gotten the confidence I needed , but I hope I will not be over confident ... I dun wish to b lik the past , I mean I feel v gd , bt it's nt the rl thing I wanted , what I wanted is recognitions frm others , not myself ..

dn Ah Bu came with he's injured knee , den we train together awhile more , dunno y I gt headache , I knw my stomach is groaning bt dunno y , I guess the hungriness affects my brain , dn I ask David if we cn go and eat , firstly I thought he will b angry or smth , bt he wasn't even the bit , n we went to eat n he share alot of stories with us , den I told him abt the fake coach I had , den he say he knw the person n he was wanting to bring ppl challenge us (the group tt the fake coach is "coaching) , lucky he nv .. haha ..

dn coincidentally , lik 5 plus tt person who is called Gary came , he nv come b4 one , dunno wtf he come for .. lol , dn we ply 3 on 3, dn I same team wif him , I dun even bother to ply , few times i was under the basket they pass to me , I could have shoot bt i pass , bt dunno y another teammate who has amateur skills is so accurate , haha , den the Gary disappointing la , den I show him hw to lay up , score one easy driving lay up , in the end 10:10 , David score n win , lol

dn Desmond they all come , this time I see him closer den cn recognise he's Desmond , the star of Eng Tat Hornets ..

Den I go to yuhua , den dunno y i so sway , Yu Song buy NBA 2k9 PS2 pirated edition at the shop , Yesterday I go out of stock ...

I go to training after tt , some Ganon Baker stuffs , n injured my knee (bleeding) , den ply match , I think I score quite aplenty bt stil nv shoot my threes , cux not required to shoot since it's always 3 on 2 n it's unneccessary for either side to launch a three ..

dn I sty at Yu Song's house cux my body rly cnt take it , plus injured , cnt walk home lik tt , so I rest at he's house , watch Ganon Baker's video and ply NBA 2k9 ..

dn cnt slp well , for dunno whad reason , i think is too hot , go home , on com , fal aslp n wake up at 1 40 , lol

well , I am really blessed to have two players who I consider good players n David I would even consider one of the best few players I've seen , last time thought he was v dao n didn't dare to talk to him , lol , bt slowly , when I chat wif him , he is a v v gd guy , n he's willing to teach me .. haha

U might ask y I go for both , David , didn't thought of me as a lousy player , even if I am .. n he rly helped me improve alot in my skills and mentality as a player , though he only trained me twice , I cn feel the difference ...

YuSong , partly , is becux of he's heart in teaching me , alot of times , I frankly would say I wan to give up on he's training cux I dun c immediate improvements, bt it was he's so called loving of the students , the heart to teach which motivates my heart to nt let him down n b present for the trainings , sometimes I also dunno y , in sch will say I wun go bt in the end still will turn up , lol .. n I slowly oso find tt there is some improvement , mostly frm the mentality side

both I would say , concentrate on diff things , bt it all boils down to the same thing , they wan me to improve as a player ..

n nw , I'm stucked in a crossroad of believes , I wouldn't say I dun believe in either religion , I dunno whad choice I shud make , if u rly ask me to choose one , taoism , represent my family , chrisitian , represent my frens who though are new , bt ply essential part in my evryday life .. if you ask me to choose one nw , I cn definitely say I'm afraid to choose right nw ..

evryone always say believe in whad u believe in , bt I wouldn't say either of them dun exist , in fact , to me , both co exist with each other ..

do you knw hw painful it is to be so near yet so far ?

have you ever notice tt someone right here is waiting for u ?

can you imagine a person 18hrs/7days thinking of u ?

tt person is me..

week of unluckiness

^Allen Iverson , passed he's prime , was my fav player in the past ... though he's a ball hog ..

hmm , today , woke up by Melvin and Therecia's sms , den i slp back again , den Therecia reply me , den i wake up again , den I go to bath , jux in time to gt out ... when my mum came bck n scold me for failing my driving basic theory evaluation yesterday , keep nagging , den have to tell her excuses to cover up for going to church , so close to letting it out ...

dn i go out , n eat KFC , as I thought I was super early for the service , den I didn't knw it strts an hour earlier , which means I'm late instead , den I rush for te bus , den saw Paul , lol , lucky to find I wasn't the last ...

go to church later , Pastor talk further bout hw believing in christian is a natural thing , well , I feel v gd abt it actually , it's some sort of giving me a sense of security ..

bt sad thing is kana reprimanded by Kai Xiang and Amber , actually I will prefer them to either jux reprimand me personally or in front of the whole cellgroup , I'm nt saying they in the wrong la , not actually wrong , bt I feel they shud b more understanding wif Paul , Chin Ming and Lesean's situation , their's is rly accidents or inevitable stuffs , mine , I have to admit I'm in th wrong , I cnt say they rly no mistakes , bt those mistakes , to me , dun amount to wrong .. hmm ... nvm , jux my personal opinion , bt something I guess I rly have to improve on is punctuality cux tt's one of the few mistakes I often commited ..

dn we go lao yu sheng , cnt even gt thru , den celebrate Wai Kit's bday , den go to church's cafe to fellowship , den i was thinking to myself I always so lucky , mayb I whole life wun gt sabo even once , straight away , two straight sabos , I was lik .. y my mouth's cursing always so gd one ... haix ... bt nvm , entertainment marh , no choice .. den I promised Jonas to ply bball at 6.30pm , bt

dn we quickly go JP eat dinner den I rush to shelter court , ply few match where I just keep assisting , find my assist quite ok today .. n tt's it , haha , den David and Cas taught me some stuffs , hehe , den ya , he's correct , I'm always indecisive , and too afraid to make mistakes ..

den David give me a lift bck home , a big Thank You to him ...

aww , rly v unlucky this week sia , today is scoldings whole day , hope the new week will b a hpy one .. lol , Joshua , chatting wif him right now n these two days , he's been helping me knw more abt the cell group n church n evrything , rly a nice guy to talk to ... lol

my blood wun shed cux it's racing when it sees u
my tears wun drop becux it evaporates upon seeing u
my eyes wun blink when it spots you
n my heart wun change even when I dun c u
