bah. today's basketball not shiok.
played like nub for much of the day, like the first 3/4 of the time damn lousy. missed most of my shots, missed landi, etc. Then my team was danielchoo sherman and some big fat guy called aaron from.. bethesda sgoon i think.
Then.. cannot win la. our team not strong enough. danchoo is good but he kept passing and never go in himself. And Aaron was.. not fit. He couldnt keep up with the guy he marking at all, so it's practically one man open at all times. We tried to switch to zone def but .. zone def is not easy to play with the rotation and stuff. so.. lose loselsoe. zzz
(sherman is.. well, sherman. we just got him to manmark someone from the other team.. then he also keep passing)
so basically just me and fataaron (sorry for keep calling him fat, but i feel weird referring to him as aaron cos the other aaronkoh is like faster and more hardworking and i dont really like this fataaron though he's most prob a very nice guy judging from the way he spoke and behaved. HA. sorry but. yea. was frustrated)
doing the shooting.
Then he tyco tyco get one or two balls in.. but i have to admit his hook shot is nto bad. then .. i missed like almost all my shots la k damn demoralising. and qie also fumble.
Then afterwards aaron left and we were getting someone to fill in. i quickly asked gabs to join.. i like the chemistry when playing with him. we wil pass pass and runrun. at least we both will run la and got feeling.
Then when gabs join our team danchoo also start to qie , score alot sia! star player in our first game scored like 4 (we played race to 5) haha.
Then after that i start to become better also, sink alot of nice jumpshots. and fake qie blabla the usual.
meh i think something's wrong with my ankle. like the top part, the part where the leg connects to the foot. that muscle there keep feeling like it's gonna sprain.. and ache. ugh. oh no downgrade in army =X
ah ok, chem exam on tues. tmr gotta study le today so slack cya.
why did you have to leave a seat next to you and i have no choice but to sit there. why do you have to be so goddamn attractive

the impossible quiz
If you're bored, you can try this out
http://www.addictinggames.com/theimpossiblequiz.html
Pretty time consuming considering you have to keep restarting cos the questions are damn hard. And some dont make sense.. but most of them can be solved logically. =)
If you dont bother, you can take a look at my run through it, the video is below. Did it as fast as i could!

random rant
something funny i saw as someone's MSN nick:
' i wish my grass was emo - so that it would cut itself'
lol!
Anyway, i was just thinking about this saying 'Aim for the stars - for if you miss, at least you'll reach the clouds' , which means that we should set higher goals, so that if we cant reach them, we'll reach at least something quite good.
THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE AT ALL.
Assuming we always try our best in whatever we do, what we can achieve should be determined by our innate (natural) ability, not by the target we set. A simple analogy would be a high jumper - how high he can jump (his maximum) is determined by how powerful his leg muscles are - not by what target he set. He can set as low as he wants, but if he is a good jumper, he will be able to hit a certain mark.
The target we set should not have any effect on our achievable level, probably only to spur us on more. But if we always try our best, then it wont matter what target we set! Because we will always achieve our maximum achievable level, which is raised by PRACTICE (i had a tirade on the saying 'practice makes perfect' once ) , not by setting high standards.
Then some people argue that setting higher standards spur us on more, hence we will achieve something better, and we will be able to get closer to our maximum achievable level than if we have a lower target set.
But the problem here is not about the target isn't it? It's about our attitude. It's our lazy procrastinating slothful nature that seemingly makes this false saying true. If we truly want to succeed in what we're doing, we will/should put in our 101% to do something, what our target is should not affect the outcome! It's only because if we set a lower target, the laziness makes us slacken and work less hard and hence we achieve something below the target or something and we believe in that stupid saying.
At this juncture, i shall bring in my own saying -
Don't aim so high, so that you will be pleasantly surprised more often
=D
Isn't this true ? I dont see any possible rebuttal.
If you are capable of achieving like let's say an A or something. Then you aim for a B. Then when you get an A won't you be like yay! i exceeded expectations =)
That's what many students today do isn't it? That's why so many idiots go to school the morning of the exam and boast about how little they've studied, and how they're screwed. I don't know why everyone loves to compete to see who've studied less.. 'oh i just read through abit' and stuff like that. They want to create the illusion for themselves that they're gonna score low marks, so that when they do better than that, they are pleasantly surprised.
That's what i did for Block Test 2 too. I really slacked and played alot, so i didn't want to hope for much. So i aimed for poor grades, liek average Cs or something. In the end come out B B C, so i happy la, better ma.
Thus, we shouldnt set high targets just to hope we will get something slightly lower than that and still be not bad. We should just give our 100% in whatever we do, and set lower targets (but work your hardest!) , so that when the results come , the chances of being happy are higher =D
whee.
