Talk-time 

Team talk tomorrow. No, actually it's gonna be a talk only between the J2 perimeter players and I. Needa psyche up. Needa psyche them up more. Felt really bad when Liu said that he doesn't wanna train anymore because of Coach's apparent preference to J1 players. No one's sure what will the final team cut be like as miracles always happen, in both directions.

Hope I'll become a positive influence from tomorrow onwards, bringing at least 70 per cent of what I've got during every compulsory or voluntary training. Let's do it guys.

Not really a rainy day 

Just as school seems to get unbearably monotonous these days, having lunch at holland village with a dear friend is the antidote really, saving me from the horrendus boredom. The pruportedly business-brimmed Sumo Bento was surprisingly quiet when we reached there, without any customer, while the usually empty Rosso Café opposite was unusually filled with early high-tea goers. Seriously thought something was wrong there, like as if someone was murdered in the restaurant before we came or something. Hahaha. Kinda enjoyed the tranquil ambience while having some very affordable Japanese food there, but felt sorta little unnatural talking, chatting and listening to my own echoes in the silent atmosphere while it was pouring outside. Anyway, reckoned the chance of a rather long small-talk's extremely rare these days and thus tried my best cherishing it. That was immense joy though. Somewhat difficult to put into words. But don't know what she thinks. Oh well. Hah. Thanks Yu Zhi (=P).

Well it rained again. And that went our inter-OG basketball heats day. Perhaps that'll be on another day of fun then.

End of a beginning 

Had a date with SAT I this morning in the chilly Singapore Expo hall. Don't really have an exact idea how I've done for it but at least I'll be somewhat more relaxed for the next three weeks before the results come out. =D

No phone, no worries. 'Tis what I feel for now, though boredom has just started to accumulate after the exam. Hands began to feel increasingly itchy this evening after training and really felt like messaging someone, as thinking without actions is equal to no work done..

Anyways, that was the first 3 days of Chinese New Year festival, studying (for obvious reasons, to please mom and dad and not let their minds stray towards anything regarding the new handphone haha) other than a few visitations. Rather wasted, as everyone has been enjoying these days at cinemas and with friends. Oh well. At least, there's gonna be another long weekend, Hari Raya Haji holidays, next! Hafta go have some fun this time. Hehe.

Oh by the way, I'm sorry that you too lost your handphone, CJ. Now you can know how I felt for four times in the last two years. Take care man.

Freed, alas 

Lost my handphone, again.

4 phones given to charity in 2 years. 8210, 8310, 3330 and now Mitsubishi M330(all of which costs quite a bit), I really deserve a good scolding. And of course i did get last night.

Handphone-phobia. I feel sorry for myself, my friends and potential friends because I've already made up my mind not to own another handphone anytime soon. Just hate this feeling of agony and self-guilty and when one feels like crying out loud but couldn't for he himself is the one to be blamed afterall.

Well, at least there're still somethings called the e-mail, MSN messenger and home phone. Hahaha. Get to me soon!

Monday blue 

Blue blue, but 'tis not the usual monday blue. Nostalgia's all I felt this whole night while listening to the chinese songs in the CD Zhao Chu lent to me. I really really miss the S02B days that I totally enjoyed in the first 4 months last year. Feel like crying like a baby everytime I think about this because I always realise that I'd given up a great class full of wonderful people and good grades for a less burdensome subject combination and a supposedly happier life. Perhaps it's because of all the things that I've experienced after I left the class, or perhaps it's just my old idiosyncratic self being ultra-sentimental again. Sighz..

On the other hand, I think I've grown. Grown much older with so many experiences which I would never encounter if I've never changed my course in my life. Oh well. Reckon everything's double-sided after all. =)

But life's only once, only with no regrets.

Hey team 

That was the new team of 17-men strong on the court this morning. Wednesday trials were great, with about 40 J1s turning up and we picked 4 in addition to the 5 who've already been training with us since last November. As I've said, a popular CCA is needless of any kinda advertisement (esp those flowery posters everywhere beautifying the dull school compound) and there, the obvious was shown. Hehe.

Anyway, other than the major setback of Zhi Kai's dislocated shoulder, I couldn't be happier to be amazed by these new players. Some of them have already starred in my dream (during the lovely afternoon nap just now) as the saviours of the team in the coming season. Soo Teck, Junrong and Xun Shi, they can really play no worse than me at all if they wanna. What a relief for me! The feeling I felt when I fed Xun Shi the balls and saw him burning the net with all those sensational shots during the 2-minute drills was just awesome. Oh man, I'm seriously overjoyed for now. We'll really be some team when Zhi Kai returns to action! =)

By the way, Golden Chicken 2's really a lame movie, but with quite a meaningful motto beneath that makes one to have some thoughts about his life. Watched it with Ray just now, because we really found nothing interesting to do in town this afternoon. Oh well. I'm feeling quite dull these days with everything seems boring. Don't know why though but please someone rescue me!

Introductory Rock 

Hahaha. The School of Rock's a hilarious movie really, caught with Gek just now. Jack Black's a total nincompoop with all those lame stuff to earn one's laughters. He reminded me of David though, and all his comical actions seemed like complete duplicates of David's. =D Had a pretty fun time in town with her today, but felt somewhat a little strange because I couldn't talk much with my lost voice and plain lethargy after yestersday's backetball trials and long buddy chat with Kai, Ray and CJ. Oh well. Just hope to have more of this enjoyable time like today soon.

Pay that check 

Finally an enjoyable day after school that I've been longing for aeons actualized today. Shopped with Yun Lei and Amanda at Taka and Wisma at first and had some really tasty famous amos cookies that delighted our taste-buds. Left Leiz and I after Amanda went for physio at Kallang and we found ourselves stonning after I did my birthday-card shopping for Theng.

When someone's utterly bored movie's the imminent cure these days, we decided on Paycheck. That show did kick some butts! Action-packed typically of a John Woo production with Ben Affleck being the hero this time round, with a few mental twists and turns that at least somewhat entertained our brains other than gaping at the actions. Oh well. The feeling's great when one's sitting in a near-empty cinema watching a show with an old friend after quite a while. It's like a silent catching-up session that we tacitly enjoyed. Thanks Leiz. Badly needed some chilling after so much crap came out from nowhere. =)

CCA Feste's shifted to Wednesday from Saturday, which means I can't be the ad-man for RECAS due to basketball trials and training. Reckon I'm really one of the slackest PR Manager around. Haha.

Wasting my time 

The quality of basketball at Braddell Heights is seriously questionable nowadays. And I've seriously no mood to entertain neighbourhood toddlers, girls or guys with slippers on the court. Think I'm angry? Nah. Just too unamused. I may appear as an easily amused simpleton to people sometimes, or most of the times, but definitely not on the basketball court because this is where I've grown up for 6 years, and I don't like to joke around on it. Don't think I'll waste my life again at Braddell Heights anytime soon.

No one knows I've wept countless times at night thinking of my team(well, of course now some would realize), for I've dreamt being a happy captain sitting on the bench watching my super-strong team burying baskets over and over again and upon waking up knowing it's just and only a dream and sit on the bed for hours feeling plainly disappointed about it. Really wouldn't wanna mention this but it's tonight at Braddell Heights that has incited me to. Hate this feeling. I'ld rather be beaten flat on my face deservingly than wasting my time stonning on the court looking at balls flying over my head and going out of bounds before even touching the rim.

Oh what am I talking here.. No offense to anyone really but I think I'm just turning into a loser nowadays. Kick me.

I love trainings 

Trainings have never been as fun as now. Love it totally. Although Erickson frequently lectures us for all sorts of things that we've done wrong from standing at 2 arms' length from the opponent instead of 1.5 to not paying attention to his instructions and looking at girls around, we've really been having lots of fun as a team. Everyone's pretty psyched up about the coming season and of course no one would want to be left out from the school team in March. Just can't wait for the season to come and play our hearts out.

Came back from Pointer's half an hour ago. Re-spiked my hair. Haha. Really don't feel like imagining what remarks I'll be getting tomorrow but reckon it ain't very nicely done. Oh well. Tomorrow comes today.

Sleep soundly please 

Was walking to the jelita bus-stop with Liu after school this evening and came Thengz out of the moon. Felt pretty great seeing the familiar face after so so long. But I was just too stunned to say anything in reply to the warm feeling but a curt Hey to her and crossed the bridge hurriedly. What an idiot. So many times I've wanted to catch things up with her since last March and this opportunity I've briefly concluded. Bleahz.

Anyway, small talk with Liu on the ride back was not bad as I'm beginning to realize how nice a person he actually is, exactly opposite to what I thought when I first saw him during training last year. Well, not to judge a book by its cover has always been attempted to get drilled into my head but never really made it's mark. Reckon it's time to make a bit of changes to the screws in my brain these days.

Hope I can sleep well tonight. Without any dreams please. Haha.

Tuscan Sun 

Watched Under the Tuscan Sun with Eugene after training yesterday out of extreme boredom. It turned out to be quite a movie to just chill and relax when one's got so many problems these days, with all the picturesque scenes from Southern Italy(which made the film look like some tourism promotion documentary for a while haha)..

Anyways, school resumed on Friday with all the fresh J1s making their way to the next stage of their lives in RJ just like us last year. It was a combination of nostalgia and enviousness when we saw the orientation go on lively. Oh well. What can we do? Time always flies in lightning speed when one's having fun. Hafta cherish it while it's still in one's hands.

Guess guess guess 

Dusk at Changi Beach. Beautiful.

When one gazes from west to east, one'll be amazed by the gradual heavenly color changes from red to orange, then peach to yellow, gold to green, emerald to cyan, aquamarine to ultramarine and finally to a piece of purplish sky, something like what I always see on dad's palette. Simply marvellous.

Why does everything lead to memories these days? The dusky atmosphere and the scent of the sea reminded me of those days again.

'Tis getting absurd. I hafta get over this.

Oh by the way, happy happy new year, to everyone. =)
