Don't Ever Give Up

Hello People.

Nothing much today.
Except that I need to start on my research for group work soon.
Yeah, i need to focus.

Still, let's move on.

NBA 2009-2010 Season - Miami Heat Game 2 @ Indiana Pacers(30/10/09)

It's official. The "Curse" has been broken.
The losing streak of 15 games against pacers is broken.

And this time, we have 2 heroes.

Dwyane wade: 32 points, 3 steals. Jermaine O'neal: 22 points, 12 rebounds.
Flash being great as usual and JO once again proving himself with his 2nd double-double.
What impressed me more was how they drew fouls.
Wade went to the line 19 times and O'neal 12 times, each hitting 14-19 and 8-12 respectively.

Beasley didn't score well, but he rebounded well. 12 points and 9 rebounds.
Haslem, once again, proved himself with 10 points and 10 rebounds, 1st double-double of the season. In fact, he received 28 minutes despite being coming off the bench.

I do have 1 question in mind. It was Quentin Richardson's performance.
I heard he is good defensively and he did well guarding Danny Granger.
Hope i can watch a match without disruption some time.

Still, good performance overall. Heat wins Pacers 96-83.
Next up is back at home against the Chicago Bulls.
We need to be consistent if we want to continue winning.
Go heat!

Last but no least, let's end with a few videos.

Haslem's monstrous dunk over Solomon Jones

Highlights:

Results: Miami Heat 2-0

Yo.

Think i will blog about Heat's game from now on :D

NBA 2009-2010 Season - Miami Heat Game 1 (28/10/09)

season opener could have never been any better
Heat blows out the knicks by 22 points, 115-93.

[ By the way, they retired Tim Hardaway's jersey (#10) too. Try watching his videos if you want. His crossovers look simple yet so quick and deadly. ]


I think there's a lot to be impressed about.

Wade great as usual, 26 points.
Beasley contributed 21 points.
Haslem, though coming off bench, was being his usual self.
8 points and 9 rebounds. That's good alright.
Cook added 15 points. He's now able to dribble and create space to shoot.
Chalmers started out strong, and ends with 11 points.
But i hope he can distribute more. Then that makes him a good point guard.

Last but not least, the best performance.
Jermaine O'neal: 22points and 12 rebounds. How awesome is that?
last season he was like... 10 points per game and 5 or below rebounds per game?
If O'neal stays healthy and plays like this every time
The heat can clinch a 50 wins record.

and one more thing. we can see the whole team getting better.
its no longer a 30+ from wade and single digit from the rest.
we can see 5 people scoring double digits in this game.
and hopefully, they break that "curse" in Pacer's court tomorrow.
the curse that kept them losing to pacers.

Think school work has been so far so good.
But today's wire work.
Haha, think I'm gonna screw it up.

Nevermind, work hard on other assignments then.
Shan't stress myself over it.


I woke up
with a huge question mark in my mind.
What was that all about...?

Oh yeah. What brand Laptop should I get...?
Dell?
ASUS?
Lenovo?
Acer?
I seriously don't know where to start off from.

oh. I decided.
I'm sticking to basketball.

Real tired...
and pretty stressed up.

I desperately wants to sleep
but i can't
I need to get my work done
And over the next 2 days to prepare for my presentation.

I want to pon class but i can't afford to
i will lag behind if i do.

probably I will collapse soon.
Just a matter of when...


As time passes
I'm starting to realize that the adult world is complicated.
In fact...
I learnt the most saddening thing about human
The ability that we can hide our feelings behind that fake expression.

It's sad
Probably only a small faction of humans understand
what it means
to be true to yourself.

* To all Sec 4s out there, do your best for yr O ' levels
This is the final stage.
All the best :]

Normally when I feel frustrated
The feelings go away once I get a good sleep... or sleep at least.

Once again... I'm in a foul mood.
I'm just too tired.

I have 2 essays and a collage to rush.
Which means I have to stay up late Sunday night to finish it.
Damn.

I know I tend to be emo.. or behave that way.
But don't think too much.
That's just how i behave.
I ain't emo
It's just a way of relaxing myself.

Whatever.
As of now
I just want to get my supper.
Eat and sleep.

Bye.



I was frustrated
But at that time
that simple thought
drove them all away.

Sometimes I look at others. And then i look at myself. I started to wonder. Is it them... Or the problem just lies in me...?

Dead Tired.
Didn't thought things would turn out like this.
Thought maybe i could manage.
Guess not -.-

School's like 9am to 6pm every day.
CC training (eg. morn till evening)
Working sat's evening and Sun full day.

Look closely.
Tell me whether there's even a single break there.
Geez.
I must do something to manage it. Serious.

Still, doesn't mean there's nothing good.
I think at least I'm coping with work.
3D art is going pretty smoothly.
Surprisingly, ComDI is fine with me.
Cause I get to write up on my interest.

I borrowed 3 DVDs from school.
On M. Jordan, Miami heat and Boston Celtic's championship year.
Now seriously wondering if i can even take out time to watch.
Man. I want to play basketball with the gang again.


Losing your friends hurt.
Losing your loved ones hurt even more.

But never lose yourself
Cause when you lose yourself
You lose Everything.

So no matter what
Just be yourself.
Because everything around you starts from you being yourself.

Basketball was great.
But my shooting was horrendous.
Damn.

2k10 is darn addictive too.
But must restrain from playing too much.
Must work hard for this semester.

School's starting already.

Many things will be coming at me too.
Geez...


I wonder how a road trip is like...?
Driving down empty lanes
Surrounded with awesome scenery every moment.
Wow.
That's gotta be awesome.

I haven't been reading up much.
All i know is disasters are striking
And is always those people who suffer.
We should feel fortunate huh.


Yeah
we should.

Sorry for earlier ranting.
Been damn tired.
Worked full days for nearly 2 weeks.
About 13 days.

Anyway, things been pretty good.
Later will be the 13th straight day of work.
Finally catching a break. phew...

Breakfast with the usuals later on.
Tomorrow (Sun) will be basketball with peeps.
I'm excited about it already :D

Then school begins monday.

Jam it down~!

Bad record but good progress.
Despite being 1-4 now
Heat's bench is showing good progress
If they continue to play like that
when the starters (Esp Wade) get back their original playing time.
Yeah, we can probably get 40-50 wins this season.
Hell Yeah!

Life is getting tough.
I'm kinda stressed up now.
Argh. I just want school to start and relax.

Woke up around 5.30 to finish reading
Johto Arc of "Pokemon Adventures"
I know It's childish but come on la.
Those who read it will confirm say its nice too

Miami Heat has been down 0-3 as of now.
But it's fine. At least we are seeing the growth in the bench.
Chalmers, Beasley, Cook, Anthony, Quinn etc.
Let's hope the season goes well.

Oh.
And I'm downloading NBA 2K10 now.
YAY wakakaka!


A part of me wants to slack.
And the other wants to work hard.

But actually I would rather a really really long break for me to relax.
Like vacation or something.

But the most f-up truth about this world is
As you grow older, the more you can't relax.
Cause time doesn't wait for you.

I know that if adults were to read this
they will probably say It's immature of what I said.

Whatever the case is
I can't be bothered much...

To those youngsters out there.
Enjoy your life while you can
Cause when you grow older
You will eventually understand what I'm trying to say.

Bye.

Life's starting to get back to normal pace.
Phew..

Breakfast as usual next Saturday.
Sunday will finally be the day I start B-Balling again.

Initially my plan was to play ball the hols..
End up I work like mad during the hols instead.
Never mind...

NBA 2k10 is coming out this Monday.
Yeah man! My game as always :]
Wakakakaka!

Oh yeah. Guess the first bits of my pay is going to be wasted again.
I lost 2 school library books. Total cost = $84.20
Fine... BUT
The processing fee for both books is $10 each?!
Wakao! Blood-sucker -.-

It's okay.
At least it's not as bad as my previous mistake.
A $500+ phone bill.
And yes it took nearly all my pay from my previous job.
I'm always in shit luck -.-

If only i could sit down like that and relax.
Ha! Like hell Singapore will be like that...


There's always more bad than good.
It's normal.

Just treasure the good ones.
Cause they may only happen once.

Damn.. gonna work this whole week...
Nevermind.
Just do my best since it can't be helped.
Chiong arh!

I flipped through my old cds and found a really nice song.
It's on my playlist too.
Old yet awesome.
Don't bother the MV (It's weird - . -)... just listen to the music.

LeAnn Rimes - I Need You



Woooo...
Need to settle and plan some things real soon.
Hope I can manage.

Bye!


Don't just look at it in one way.
No matter what
There will always be another way to do things

Just that the choice is yours to make.

Okay before I'm off to work.
Some funny shit.

I couldn't watch the match earlier on so I listened to the broadcast instead.
Near of the match...
Baston (Pistons) was fouled and was supposed to shoot the 2 FT.
However, somehow, Stuckey or Bynum end up shooting the FT.
Good, he scored both.
Then again Baston, who was fouled, obviously was the one supposed to shoot the FTs.

What did the Referees do?
Remove the 2 points and let Baston shoot instead.
Shit.

And what did Baston do?
He missed both FTs.
FUNNY SHIT.

Even the commentators were laughing their asses off.
I tell you
If I were Flip Saunders (Pistons Coach), I will punch the referees.
No Joke!

Kay, I'm off to work!

@
Woots!

Heat @ Detroits at 7.30am (SG time)
Which means i will have around 4 hours of sleep only...
Doesn't matter. Anything to watch them play haha :D

Go get them!

Random. somehow i really like the Old National day songs.
Home, Shine on me, Where I Belong...
Their music really makes my hair stand
Whenever these songs are played, the images in my head just turn grey
like memories flashing through my head.
Wow. powerful right?

Kay I better get my 4 hours of sleep now.
Bye!

I know i still ain't mature enough.
Maybe it seems good..
Maybe it don't.
Nah. Let them come to you.

You can't force maturity.

Study or work
No matter what
You have to do them

So why not just get them done?

In fact
Do your best.
Do your VERY BEST.

Because soon enough
You will realize you are enjoying them.

Only through willingness
will one be able to enjoy what he or she is doing.

As i continued walking
Past that familiar wall.
I wondered

How did it ever start?

Friday, October 2, 2009 @
I'm tired.
Actually I planned for this hols to just work and train basketball..

but somehow i am tired of the game.
I want to play but...
I'm trying very hard...
Damn it.
I'm not gonna give up like that. Must wake myself up.

On the other hand
Work has been good.

But too bad I have to miss my pri school outing this weekend.
Haiz, nevermind...

The money I'm earning?
1) REPAY JIA EN A NEW BASKETBALL.
Really really sorry!! -.- can't believe I'm so irresponsible...

2) Probably get a new ball for myself so I don't have to borrow everytime.

3) Start saving and prepare for a Labtop! YIPPIE!!
I hunger for one... rawr.

4) I think i seriously need to get a few new shirts and pants.
Of couse don't overspent... which normally i won't.

Achievements which hopefully I do during this holidays?
1) Work hard, Play hard (hopefully for this...)
2) Not giving up basketball... If I give up then i ought to whack myself.
3) Study Study. As in read up more. Must work hard when school reopens.
4) When Campcraft continues... I must do my best to discipline the new batch.
5) Of course... don't forget to relax myself with leisure.

Okay.. enough crapping.
Gonna eat my supper and watch Bai Fen Bai.
Then off to sleep.
Signing Off!
