My very first Jersey!

Represented Customs in the Public Service Star Basketball Games! My very first time playing in a REAL basketball match! Honestly, I really enjoyed the feeling of playing competitively.. totally reminded me of my days playing competitive sports!

Surprisingly, I was actually able to hang on throughout the 40 minutes match! (Well, did have a couple of short breaks in between of course. =P)


Best part of participating, (besides getting the kicks of playing a full court match) is that I get to have my very own Jersey!!! Got to choose my own number too - number 26 of course! =)

Well, though we lost the 1st match (didn't think I played very well either, =P) and I had to pull out of the 2nd match (due to my bai-kar-ness), I really enjoyed the experience and now I'm a little addicted to playing full court matches. Maybe I should consider playing competitive basketball for clubs. But again, my skills levels ain't quite there yet. Hm, oh well, shall spend a few months brushing it up and maybe by then, I can give it more thoughts...

Hee, back to the bball court this friday!!
(shall sneak a few more sessions before I retire for the wedding...) ^_^

Olympics fever

I'm sooo addicted to Olympics Basketball right now. It's insane watching American All Stars Basketball trash other countries!!!! Their steals, their rebounds, their ally, their rejects.. they are just so...mesmerizing. OMG. I wanna play like them!!!!!!

Best of all, Dwayne Wade's back in action!! And he's still sooooo good. Reminds me of the days in USA when I caught the NBA fever (Go Miami Heats!) Plus, there's also Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd in the team..you name it, they got it. Disgusting yet fabulous. My money's definitely on them to win the gold medal! Well, but it's not so much of winning the gold, it's about being able to watch them play their way to the finals! Can't wait to watch them trash more teams!

Oh, there are two things for my birthday!
A pair of Lebron James and A ticket to the next NBA game!!!

Recovering

2006 was a bad basketball year for me. Started with a torn meniscus and ended with a sprained ankle. Took me a couple of years to recover fully and finally the nagging pain on my ankle and the constant 'giving way' of my knee left me. Guess I took it all for granted when I stopped wearing my ankle and knee guard. =(

Oh well, I learnt it the hard way. I promise I'll keep my guards on in future. But there's no way I'm going to give up basketball! (at least for now I'm sure. =P)

Hm, guess I'll take a two weeks' break and I'll be back!!!!

Time to say goodbye...

Hm, it's time to say goodbye to another pair of basketball shoes. I didn't realise how long I've had this pair of shoes until I checked out my old blog and found this. This pair of shoes has faithfully served me for the past 2.5years and has never failed me, even when I left him behind for 3 months when I went to the States. It is in this pair of shoes that I begin to fall tremendously in love with basketball and it was in this pair of shoes that I begin to really excel in it. Pity the good old days are coming to an end.


Guess there's nothing else I can but to say goodbye.. =(

Anyway, thanks to Ed, I found a perfect replacement.

Decided to try a brand other than Nike for once. (Partly because the new Nike designs ain't as impressive, and partly because I'm low on dough. =P) Got this pair of reeboks for just $80! Great buy! ^_^ Best of all, it fits like a sock on each of my foot.

Can't wait to try it out on the basketball court this friday!!!!
