I told you

I know I know the Miami Heat won the NBA title like a couple of days or weeks back... But it sure give me bragging rights for a whole year til a new champion is crowned. To Xie Min, what did I tell you. My team would win right. Haha. None of my family or friends did expect my team to win but we proved them wrong. Wade deserved the MVP. The way he played all season was just phenominal. I hate to see Shaq reduced to what he is now. I guess he knows what he is doing anyways so I think he is just glad winning another title and remaining a floor leader. In a way I believe that Miami is like me. We bounce back. We fight hard. We might not have the best team but boy do we try our best all the time. Last and not least we always have a shaky start and end up good despite all that. That is all I have to say...

Personality

Some people just have that X-factor, others don't. You know how sometimes how you wish how you had trait that someone else has. Well that is only human. Yet the more i thought of it the more I feel that its just better to be yourself. Too long have I tried to model myself after people and admired people for doing better in life than me. It is just relaxing to enjoy being myself. I have always prefer myself to live life as it is, take things as they come and relax. I don't really know if it is counted as a virtue but hey it's just me. All those out there reading this please do not learn from me because I have heard so many times that I have to be more involved... Whatever!!

Anyways, alot of things were going my way this week. Miami won their first title in 6 gruesome games. And Elizabeth is back meaning I have got work on Saturdays again. Plus the people in my new camp are just great. They really are. They have a small number of people but they stick real tight. So I guess it all turns out swell I guess.

P.S: I just love my sir. He just brought me find durian like for free.

Reflections

I been doing a whole lot of thinking the past few days. A lot of 'what if' questions just kept poping in my head. And as I was reading 'Driven from within' written by Michael Jordan, I think I found the answer. "There's no stress in losing under those circumstances. It just wasn't meant to be." There is no point looking back and crying over spoilt milk. If you meant to get it, you meant to get it. It is just plain logic. Life is like a game. There is alot of ups and downs. You just have to keep playing. You hear alot of people saying," You could have done this, you could have done that..." but what I feel is it is a bunch of CRAP. It is great to learn from mistakes but we can't change the past so we just have to look forward. That is what I been trying to adapt to. I been trying to picture what I will be doing 5-10 years later. Something like you what the Communist used to do with their 5 and 10 year plans. My mum been calling me crazy for doing that. She said I can't be thinking so far ahead when I had not even started on anything yet. What she does not realize is that it is all part of trying to find the real me. If I got to do TOEFL and SAT so be it. I am going to learn from Larry Bird. I am never going to quit and I am never going to say die. Cause if you keep it close, I will feel that I still have the chance to sneek one on you.
P.S: 18 days count down. Man I just hate my life.

if everyday could be like that

For the past 2 days, I have been meeting up old friends of mine in town. We spent our times catching up and talking about our plans about the future. It kinda lighten up the mood that I was in a couple of days back. Maybe it is not a bad thing to leave for U.S soon. But the big question still stands: will Greg find the motivation he needs. ( up til now the only time Greg managed to find this CRAP was during JC which turned out to be a flop) Now I feel so recharged that I just can't wait for Elizabeth to come back so I can start giving her math tuition again. But I think of the week ahead. Sianx. A week full of rehersal after rehersal day after day. Ah what the heck. I can do anything I set my mind to. 19 days count down to next tuition. Jia you.
P.S: Miami is now 2-0. Well done Xie Min. Good guess. But next 3 games they are going down. Miami will win the title for me.

sob sob

Its been a long week for me. The NBA Finals just started and the news i have been waiting for ages has been released. Well what I could say is that left me in a bad state. The Miami Heat lost game 1 in Dallas on Thursday by 5 buckets and I just found out that I did not get my place in NUS. I felt shattered especially on the arrival of the latter because it meant that the amount of work I have been putting in for the past 2 years of my life have all been in vain. It was in my vision that I would walk in my father's footstep someday and to kinda do him proud. All my life I wanted to prove to others that I had what it takes to make it. My mum knows that I have been taking it hard. She been trying to reassure me that it will all turn out ok because she will send me to the states to where my relatives live. I guess she is probably right and there is nothing in my powers I could do about it. Maybe I have to just live with my life. As for the former, I just can't believe that my team got thrashed. It just unthinkable. They got to perform better especially the veterans of the team. From what I read, Shaq needs the ball more, alot more. Hell he is such a great player despite his age. If you noticed in the Detroit series the times Miami Heat were in control were the times he was the center of offense. I just hope to see a better Game 2. Looking forward to it.

wonderful nba final

Its been a long 2005-2006 NBA season with all its 82 games along with the many playoff games. 2 teams now compete for the ultimate prize- an NBA title. For both teams its their first time in the finals but there can only be one winner. For me personally, this is a dream final. My favourite team, which is the Miami Heat by the way, is playing their basketball all season long. They just defeated what most people think is the strongest title contender in the league- the Detroit Pistons. This is by no means an easy feat. I think it has been a whole team effort and the heat deserve a pat on the back. Everyone on the team know their roles. on offense, J-will distributes the ball and does his fair effort to score. Wade is relentless, he just does whatever that he needs to score. O'Neal is my main man. He dominates the paint and scores at will everytime he wants to. On top of that, he is able to distribute the ball from the paint real well. Haslem clears the thrash as well as kill opposing teams with his sweet 15 feet jumper. Walker can handle the ball and he has got a good range. On defense, they stay real tight. I think the defense might collapse at times but when they want to, they will do a good job. The Dallas Mavs, on the other hand, is another team that is blooming in the West. Led by Dirk, they play an up-tempo game which can destroy another team. So brace yourself guys, we are in for a show.
