Today was teacher's day. Played basketball for the teachers' day games =p. Was fun all in all, but I lost two matches that was against the same team ==". First match was a 3point score difference and the secon 4 points ==". I'd say for my team, we'd fared quite well against them. We coulda won, but too many unforced errors by me caused them to score in transition ==". Dayum. We played well, but I messed up probably just as much? First match I scored my first three pointer of the match, then missed the second free 3pointer ==". I forced the game too fast too much, my team mates couldn't adapt, which was my fault entirely ==". I rushed the second shot of the first game where I was 1 against 3 ==". Second match, I scored another trey! But I turned the ball over too much ==", and they scored in transition, pulling the score away.
By the last 3minutes of the second match, we were down by two, I decided to go by myself if I had the chance, but that only resulted in a fast break team play by them, like it was meant for me, telling me I should've passed ==". When I did pass to my team mates, they scored another two more bringing the score difference back to two. I went by myself again, forcing some passes ==". Because of me, they scored another three in transition, making it 5point difference. I ran my team mates too hard ==".
We managed to force a fast break the final ten seconds, ken kiat passed me the ball after he passed the halfcourt line, and it was 2us on 3them. I cut to the middle, just around above the free throw line, daniel and zhong wei were there, I went to their middle attempting to cut, they closed up. I took a step back dribble, and faded away. Both of them went up, and I swear, if I released the shot a second earlier zhong wei could've blocked it. In some way which I do not understand, I contorted my shot into that of a higher arc, firing it just above zhong wei's reach. 3sec, the ball was fired, 2sec the ball at its arc, 1sec... And the ball caromed off the backboard and into the basket! I had scored the last, buzzer beating basket, and I was supposed to be ecstatic, as was everyone else, but I didnt want to smile. Even though I made the last basket, I lost the game for the team. Because of my selfish behavior and attitude, because I didnt believe ENOUGH in my team mates, I went ahead and lost the game for them.
It sounds egotistical for me to make the whole match sound like everything revolves around ME, but I swear to you, I'm not trying to. It's my thinking, therefore it should be about me. And I truly believe we lost the game because of me. My teammates are excellant teammates, if I didn't keep thinking about how I could pull the score back and instead of think about how WE could pull the score back, we could've won. But eh. We had fun, at the very least, right guys? We are a great team. Lacking in height, but still a great team =). Let's train hard together, and move forward to be our very best =D. FOR THE TEAM!
After teachers' day was over, I rushed home and changed and went to kallang MRT to wait for Zoe ==". Went to Kallang Leisure Park. Met the members A&E =p at pastamania. It has been a looooooooooong time since I had eaten pasta mania. I love their carbonara, but 11.20dollars ==". After that, walked around taking stupid pictures, alot of me being the retarded person that I am ^^. Went to arcade, and I played a coupla games I haven't played in a loooooong time. DrumMania V, GuitarFreaks V, and basketball game =p. Haha, even in the gaming world, I'm still a freak =p. Went to watch the movie Wall-E. Was a very sweet movie. I wouldn't say awesome, cause it's disney =p. See it and see what I mean by sweet =). I can't believe I know the history of how the movie Wall-E came about =p. Two movie producers met up at some restaurant or bar or something, and they began talking about movie ideas. These movie ideas are ones that came out for the past decade, and has been awesome at their time of release. Wanna guess what these titles are? To name a few, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Bugs Life, Finding nemo and such other successful disney titles. If I remember correctly, the movie Wall-E was last on their list =(. They made a pretty awesome run, prducing a whole list of movies that would still to your mind from young.
Went to bugis to eat dinner with my family after that. And after that, we went to Parco bugis to shop for clothes for my elder brother =P. Apparently, he's..... going out =). And I realized something about myself today. I know waaaaaay too much knowledge about clothes for a guy. Waaaaaaaaaaay too much.
