As the basketball game turned out losing, my mood was down for couple of days. I did not even turned up for the weekly basketball training and my teammates started worrying about me.
In all of my memories, we lost games before too. But not losing in this way. Challenging someone who is more skillful than you is tough nad sometimes you might lose out. However playing games with people whose more skillful would help us in great improvement. But losing like this is absoultely different.
For days, I starred at my basketball. Holding it infront of the mirror, asking myself. " What you meant to me? What is the reason you lost that game?" I wondered...
Around 5pm, I walked down the street and stopped infront of a street basketball court. There were a few kids playing there... looking enjoyed. Out of a sudden, I saw the old me, just simple enjoying basketball. Yes! That is the reason why I play basketball and what it meant to me! It is just simply because I enjoy playing it!
From then, I regained my feelings about basketball. And I also realise that being simply enjoy something is not something simple to do.

An unusual thing that happened
Today, I am so pissed off and mad. Heart and lungs bursting out of my body; tears crawling out from the corners of my eyes. I just cannot control my feelings and seeking why things did not turned out the way it should normally turned out to be.
In afternoon, as usual a few of us friends and I went to play basketball. We usually train and play matches together, therefore we called ourselves a team. A wolf team, because we dare to challenge players which are stonger and more skillful than us. During break time, a few people showed up with a ball, provoking us from far. " It looks like a team which we trashed sometimes back. Are they seeking revenage?" I asked in dismay.
Not off from my thought, they were happy with us and wanted to have a match. We agreed and it started off very soon. As usual, I scored the first ball. However, it took longer than usual. Right after my first score, they managed to break through our defences and shot a ball into the net within 30secs! Not only that, we showed mistake after mistake during the first half. Therefore, leading to a score of 24 to 34.
"What happened to our defence?!" I questioned. No one answered, no one spoke a word. " Let's stop fooling around and play serious. We are not going to lose." Captain announced. However, we still did not manage to chase up that much of score. Having a score of 45 to 46 at the last 1 min, losing by 1 points. However, i still got one last attacking chance.
I got the ball in my hand, down with my head, I whisper to myself, "I'm not letting them win." I charged forward, breaking through oppent's defences and shoot the ball out of my hand. It was a lay up, and in the history of matches I played. I never missed a back hand lay up before. During that spilt second, everyone's eyes were locked on the moving basketball. It hit the board, rolled on the metal ring and dropped out!
The whole team was shocked, including me. I cannot beileved what I just did. I kneed on the ground with both knees, shaking my head violently,telling myself that this is not true.
We lost.... because of me....

Something happened in school
Today was a proud day for me as a citizen of the Republic of China, to see my fellow buddies standing on the stage of Victoria Secondary School, Singapore.
A group of students from " San Zhong" of BeiJing,China had came to our school for exchange programme. They came with two teachers and a few fellow school mates. By meeting them, I was able to picture out the old me. They greeted us and introduced themselves in the morning at the parade square. However, they are only able to communicate with us in mandarin. Therefore, lots of our malay and india buddies do not really understand what they were saying.
Then, they toured around the school. Visiting corners of the school. During recess time, I was able to see them eating food with us on the same table. They looked enjoyed. After school, they enjoyed two full football matches between Tanjong Katong Secondary school with Victoria Secondary school. Due to the difference level in skill, we had won both matches beauitfully.
After that, a few of my air rifle friends and I went to play table tennis with them. But they are so good that, we did not manage to score a game. How disgraceful and embarrasing...
A day just past like these, so quickly. By seeing them enjoying themselves deeply here, I would also like to go for an exchange programme trip to schools overseas if I had the chance to do that.

Chinese new year
Happy lunar new year everyone. This is the year of the ox, and here I wish all a happy ox new year. Today was very eventful day for me as there had been lots of activites took place.
I went to Chinatown to get some goods, and stuffs for the prepartion of union dinner. I got two hand full of goods with me after the trip. Couples of hours later, closing to 11pm, I set up the internet connection to view the" Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration TV Programme" . However, due to the internet "traffic" jamming, the programme could not been viewed.
I prepared 4 dishes with a soup with a cousin of mine. It was really a hard time for a guy... A guy who never really likes cooking. Really then I realise and know, those tips I used to think useless , some HomeEcone stuffs, are so helpful. In the end, we managed to complete the task for the prepration.
Close to midnight,We had our union dinner. Around 1 min early, we counted down. " 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0! Happy chinese new year!" We all shouted, including my mum who turned up too. We greeted and blessed each other. I as the son of my mum, was given a red packet as the tradition says.
Every chinese new year means something to the chinese, and I wish everyone treasures it well. It is not only for taking red packets from the elderly but also means the union of all families.

Something i did alone...
Just a couple of days ago, I went to particpate an air pistol competition which was held at HomeTeam NS. I was contradicted with my emotions, feeling excited and nervous at the same time.
I approached to the registeration counter, marked my name and maked my way to the amory. Out of a sudden, my pistol coach appeared behind me and asked me about how I feel. I turned around and reply him with a smile.
I picked up my pistol, walked to my shooting bay. When I passed my coach, I whispered something softly," Don't worry, I am ready and good." I placed down my pistol on the bay and bended my head down with my eyes close. I prayed, set my mind peace. As the annoucing of competition went off, I picked up my pistol, set myself in posture and started to fire.
After the competition, I returned my pistol and walked to my coach. "It was a really precious and wonderful experience for me." After a little chat with him, I returned to my seat. I waited silentily for the result.
Soon, A board with sheets of paper was brought out by two men in black shirts. I swifted through the cword and started to search for my name.
" 451 points with 5 inner tens!" I shouted with excietment and jumped for joy. Within the spilt second in the air, I saw my coach smiling for the first time.
