Playing for Ngee Ann

Whenever i talk about ngee ann, laoheng will come straight into my mind..
Cos i owe him $200! damn.. everytime forgot to pay him...
must remember!!!!!!!!!

Today, I went down to Woodlands to play the final match of this tournament for ngee ann..
couldn't really got my way there, and halfway there i met Raymond so i went on with him..
It's the last match against Payar Lebar..
We won by quite a big margin i guess.. not really taking note of the scores..
We got 2nd and Whyenam got 1st den DOS 3rd..
Did not stay back to collect my medal... went straight home with Raymond. ( home is the best place =) )
initially, wanna stay back and take Val's car home, but Raymond is in hurry so i went off with him..

I played the full 3rd quarter and few mins before the final buzzer..
score some points.. yeah.. heng told me to relax and play, dun be greedy to take points.. slowly take them all..
I was playing at my max so as to reclaim my spot in the team.. i mustn't skip trainings anymore.. more trainings ah heng..
hope to underline my ability in ngee ann team..

wanna play in my last IVP. perhaps my last tournament before going to NS...
speaking of NS, i couldn't get a silver for my pull up. damn..
gotta run and pump for the rest of the days till jan 5... my NAPFA..

seriously need to shed weight... been saying so much but din act out.. arrgh!

Hit Down hard

Today, i went for a match at Kovan Paya Lebar CC
Went down by Val's car together with Prasad, Waiming and Alan..
It was a 4 teams invitational tournament ( Ngee Ann, Whye Nam, DOS, and Paya Lebar )

Played Against Val's team DOS.. juz for 2 mins and sat out all the way...
made a couple of free throws..
I had to admit that the feeling for not able to play sucks..
This is not the first time.. but i slowly began to understand why is it so..
maybe i did not go for the trainings and suddenly appear during the match day, or maybe I am not able to fit in into the ngee ann squad..
hmm.. but it's alright..
I had decided to give myself a chance to compete in the ngee ann team..
Whether getting into the team or not, I will take it as it is...
I will take the trainings ( if any ) as some physical trainings to get myself ready for the NAPFA test next month..

Great to have my ankle recover.. feel lesser pain and strengthening is needed..
Confidence level!



lowwww.................

Injured

This evening, it was Cck csc vs the Boon Lay csc..
We lost by 8 pts and it wasn't a tight game though.
We were losing by nearly 20 pts and we fought hard to catch up, but still, we could not get any miracles done.
This is the last match I will be playing for cckcc and will be playing for nanyang next.

While in the match fighting for a rebound, I land awkwardly and sprained my ankle.
There was an loud crack and I can feel it.
There was this numb feeling for awhile and then, immediately i feel the pain..
It was a sharp pain and i had to endure it.
I was lucky that i did not hurt my knee and that was a huge relieve for me.
Luckily the medic there told me it's juz a sprain and everything is alright.
Phew.. i juz need a few weeks rest.
On my other knee, I'm feeling normal now..

I went down to the Singapore General Hospital for a check with my physio..
and again was relieved to hear that i juz strained one of my hamstring tendons and nothing wrong with my ligaments.. =)

After the Boon Lay/CCK match, i was lectured by Ronglie..
Ya.. he was right.. Im juz too solo and offensive minded, he even asked me when had i ever pass to a nice open player for a shot. I think about it and he was right.. All I ever do is to take points and never an assist.. This is one thing i will take note.. and the way basketball should play.
I will remember this remark from him..

Im so scared

eeeewww... Surely you will get goosebumps looking at the pic here..
This is the so called hyperextended knee..
I was thinking whether i got hurt my knee..
The pain got better after i woke up the next day, but i fear i might have hyperextended my knee as i gathered infos from the web..
The symtoms and signs i got in my knee were described correctly in the web...
Now feeling so down and sian, i might have hurt one of the ligaments..
I want to play basketball.. I don't want to get another knee injury.. =(
I hope i only strained my knee that's all =(

Hi.. I'm back to blog again..
Recently, I had been busy and lazy to do so because of my tiredness..
I had been playing basketball for the past straight days.
I ended my air alert 2 due to some migraine i got after working out..
the pain is unbearable and when i jumped the 11Th time, i can feel the rush of blood going through my brain.. so I decided to stop and keep balling for the rest of the days.

Last Thursday, CCKcc had won another Interconstituency match and that was against Keat Hong Csc.. Some of my friends were there and it's like playing a friendly match..
We won them by 20 plus pts margin.. and before our match, it's also great to see Boon Lay Csc lost to Pioneer csc..
Last shot in the last few seconds went in for Pioneer and they won..
It's pretty good to see Boon Lay Csc lose as I don't wish to play against pioneer again if Pioneer lost.. we were defeated by Pioneer by 36 points.. so I think it's not wise to play them again..

Then today Deepavali, Marc( Kaixuan coach ) treated us lunch at kushin-bo.. it was a nice Japanese restaurant and i ate a lot.. still remembering the night before, i was with Prasad, Waiming, Val, Qixiang eating Suki Sushi at cine..
From there, we met a few of the NP players there, Gabriel, Ron, Daryl, Demin, Zikun and Kelvin.. heard they were celebrating Darren's birthday..
OH.. By the way, Happy Deepavali to PRASAD
festival of light.. light u all up

Now, i am sitting at my desk, icing my right knee..
I do not know how i got the pain.. it makes me feel instable, kind of locked, but i don't remember hurting my knee or snapping my knee..
The pain is bit unbearable and i had to limp when i walked..
Really hope nothing wrong with my healthy knee.. i don't want another op..

And This coming Thursday might be the final match for CCKcsc.. when we play against Boon Lay.. the winner will reach the top 16 of the tournament.. The loser will play again next year.
I really hope we can win against Boon Lay.. then it will be the year we had played the furthest..
But with my knee condition like this, i am not able to play..
Really hope my knee will be at its 100% by Thursday and hopefully it is just a strain =)
OK.. I shall stop here.. Blog again =)

=)

mens open ended..
Of all 8 matches whye nam had played.. i played 4..
began to ask myself as a player, why is my attitude like this..
been missing for alot of matches and finding excuses to lie my coach..
arrgh.. Why had i become like this?

perhaps i should put a stop on bb first..
no motivations and energy to play..

recently.. been busy with air alert.. it's a planned workout to help u to improve ur vertical jump..
dunno whether it's true or not.. some players used tat to improve on their jump..
maybe i can test it on my own to see any results..

cckcc lost to pioneer..
it's a match.. well i dun think i need to play..
u put me in in the last quarter?
u play me when everyone gave up?
u still wanna win?
u think im tat good?
u think u are that smart tactician who need some other player to beg u to let me play..?
i dunno if there's some prejudice between u and me..
i observe it from the past few games u in charge? i play so little..
u are not a coach... juz a stand in useless thing...

next match in the loser bracket..
win or go home..
tired of basketball again man..
