Things turning out okay

Finals are over! What a relief...at least for the coming 1 more month I'm able to relax then it will be the beginning of my second year in degree. As related to the title of this post, things turn out okay. I managed to pull myself up to study and finals was fine. However, a few adjustments must be made for me to keep up on studies next semester. Basketball turn out okay too. Our team won our last game against a China team by seven points. We'll see how it goes, whether we all still want to play as a team again next semester. That's if we still feel comfortable playing with each other and still trust each other to make plays.

Last night was one of the thrilling nights I ever have with my ball buddies. Cycling to school at 10pm and playing ball till 1.30am. Came back home to shower up and couldn't sleep till 5am. Surprisingly there were others who were at school playing ball in the midnight. Right before that we went to town to have a farewell dinner for Ah liang who will be going to Curtin, Perth. Knew this friend of mine for a year. Seeing people leave is quite a disappointing feeling. Everybody is going to experience this when people close to them leaves one day. So, if my studies turn out good, may be going to Perth in the final year. Just maybe. Still have to trust on my own potential to survive in this world. Can't rely on anybody but yourself.

Los Angeles Lakers fans will be disappointed this year because Lakers has lost against the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals despite having the greatest basketball player in the planet in this generation, Kobe Bryant. The main reason they lost to my opinion is because the Lakers did not play smart as compared to the Celtics which overwhelmed the lakers in the last game. Lakers seem to have individually good players but lousy team players and Kobe himself is not enough to go against Paul pierce, Kevin garnett, and Ray allen. My main holiday plan during this one month time is to go for an intensive basketball training under the supervision of a state coach, Mr.Chia. I'll give it a try no matter what people said that this sort of training are very tiring. For the benefits, suffering for a month is nothing compared to what I can learn from a professional to be use in the future. Its so exciting that I finally get this rare opportunity and support from my mum as well. All thanks to my mum that I gotten this chance because it happens that Mr.Chia was a friend of hers and he offered to coach me and my brother for a month for free.

Movies to watch this holidays are The Incredible hulk, Hancock, and the 2nd batman movie. Will be going back Kuching this Saturday. Basketball training starts on Saturday evening as well. Sometimes we need inspirational icons in our life to push us to touch greatness and to remind us that there will always be another person who is better than us because we are not perfect.

My top 3 inspirational basketball figures:
1) Allen Iverson
2) Kobe Bryant

3) Michael Jordan
