basketball.....=)

.....where do i start???.....

this is the game that changed my life....gave me a sense of purpose....i love it....

a few years ago....i was an overweight, lazy and unmotivated person, bitter a everything and very anti-social...(well, i'm just awkward now....)

what got me started???...Slamdunk...

.....for the past two years i have been cursing myself for being stupid enough to give basketball up at one point....if only i hadn't....

.....i love this game so damn much....i love everything about it, the sound of the ball swishing through the net, the feel of it in my hands, a group of people working together to score a point...its beautiful....

...how did this sport change my life???....

...first of all....it helped me lose weight...
.....it made me work hard...because there are so many talented players out there...and i want to be able to beat them....
....it motivated me...i wanted to be the best....and i still do.....
....it opened me up and enabled to meet a lot of wonderful people....a few of whom i'll name here....

Seh Yung

Sheng Loong

Sam

Alastair (Chester....haha...that one still cracks me up...)

Russell Woo

Bernie

Nicole

Brian

........and a whole lot more....

mom is always telling me to take up a sport which is possible for me to be successful (meaning where i can make money....)....like golf...

....i'm already a stubborn person....but this is where no one can touch me....i turn off if i hear the words 'give up' and 'basketball' in the same sentence....

....the NBA....hell, even the Malaysian team are probably beyond my reach...but i'll never give this sport up...not until every bone in my body is broken....every muscle withered...age will have to beat me down to a senile old man before i quit....

...some of my closest friends call me gay for choosing to play this sport over meeting girls at times....i don't care....you'll never understand what this sport means to me....

its my passion....my life....my love....

my first true love....

.....and i truly love it.....

....that's the damn truth....

....random...i know....but i felt i just had to get this off my chest....
