Am I A Ball Hog?

sometimes when i play basketball, i will think this way..
maybe because the time i have the ball is much more than my other players
but am i a ball hog?
let my bb frens decide ba.. tell me if im a ball hog..

when will cck cc basketball court reopen..
miss playing there with all my frens..
it's the place which bring us together there.. =)
all the jokers and frens were there..
still remember i will always go down to play after sch..
the ground line had drawn, shelter is built, court is open to everybody...
but there's no rim...! where's the board and the rim?

went to play basketball at night...
jump alot.. like the feeling of jumping which was lost for abt 1yr plus..
guess i am getting back the passion le.. =)
bb call me!

Basketball-less

lost against SP
by 40 pts
score: 80-40
half...

we din play well.. seems like 5th and 6th place is not important...
SP's graduating players are happy to end this IVP this way..

played in the last quarter..
not good enough.. create few opportunities for myself and some for gad..
only few went in..

think i came for the match for the sake of coming..
i came late..
was feeling sick, hot breath, feverish, back and neck pain..
coach din coach us due to his tong whye meeting..
xiuhan took over..

dun feel like playing basketball for now..
no more passion i would sae..
seriously.. i din have any rest after my operation..
after the end of three months rehab.. i went on to run and play basketball..
my graft needs time to heal.. to attach to the bone..
u cant rush things.. the graft needs abt 1 yr to heal.. doc told me months back.. i ignore..

guess this is the time i can rest now..
IVP getting a 6th position out of 9 teams?
SIM and SMU i wun sae.. they are easier teams..
RP? i wun sae too..
finishing above them aren't anything to be proud of..
roughly i can guess tat there's some problems or watever in NP team..
saw some of them whisper to each other with their stern and serious face..
dunno wat are they talking abt..
i dun care now..
i juz wan a rest..

seriously.. i dun wan anyone to tell me im playing little because of my knee..
laoheng said to me a couple of times..
juz now xiuhan told me again..
when can i stop hearing that..
im confident of myself..
im recovering well.. im not injured! i dun feel any pain or discomfort in my knee..
the physiotherapist was oso confident in me and had discharged me..
my knee i know how to protect..
i jumped to my fullest during the match juz now and landed properly..
i have to admit.. i hestitate to jump..
but i know how to protect my knee..

perhaps im abit rusty..not as fast or strong as b4..
i know wat to do during tis time round..
i wont go and look for the passion in basketball.. instead i will let it find me..
strengthening my knee is next..
Sean told me juz now.. the more u strengthen, maybe u will play more..
i wan to jump higher than now in future..
maybe some of u will think tat's a wishful thinking of mine after having plagued by this injury..
but im gonna start training..


seriously.

No more physios!

YES! NO MORE PHYSIOS FOR ME AGAIN!!

Finally after 1 yr, i was discharged from the hospital le..

Today, went for my physio for my biodex strength test...
if i pass the test, i need not come anymore
thanks choon leong and mingkai for accompanying me to the sgh..
in the end,i did it.. the results...

Biodex test
quads-97%
hams-93%

my physio therapist, suelyn, oso ended the session by telling me my right leg is stronger by 8% and my left knee improved alot...
feel so happy that i had graduated from my physiotherapy... but i know i have to continue strengthening to minimise the chance of reinjuring myself..

after my last physio, went to town with my friends and ate alot...
get veri tired at the end of the day..
rainy days... cold sia..

been sleepless over nights...
Y?

SMU and NTU

played in both matches..
won SMU 45 pts and lost NTU 15 pts..
was brought off after a while in the court as i was not mentally prepared..
coach said he was afraid i will get injured again if im not mentally prepared..
din expect i will be playing..

now fighting for 5th and 6th place against SP at SP this thursday..
i got knee pain...
dunno isit because against SMU i landed on my recovering leg when rebounding or from the fall when i was going to sub for gab.. slippery floor, useless shoes..

knee hurts alot when i try to run and sprint or jump.. even if i was mentally prepared for the NTU game, think my leg cant take it...


THURSDAY VS SP
muz win...

2nd phase player?

played against RP
won
but disappointed
will rather laoheng dun use me..
was not even playing like a secondary sch player

disappointed cos only the score margin is big enough,
i will den get to play...
am not a 2nd phase player
i wan to win

not prepared to come on as a sub during the game..
tot 12 players used up..
loosen my shoelaces
but laoheng came over to tell me and gab to get ready..
wtf.. was he consoling us,bluffing us? or really gonna play us?
i dunno..
i went up,missed a shot, came back to the bench and warmed it up again..

i was thinking maybe if i go nyp, i can play more under guang fu..
but back to reality, i was like a shevchenko in chelsea..
he choose to rely more on yr 1 players than players who brought him a 2nd and 3rd position previous yr..(although i din played much cos of injury)
not saying our yr 1 is bad... we have good players like weijun, see guan and raven..
three players whom laoheng praised juz now..

dunno wat's up with me.. tat's probably wat i was thinking at the moment..
now if my coach wan to play me.. i juz play lor..
if not, den nvm lor..
win or lose i dun care so much liao..
it makes me feel like among the ones who were fighting for victory does not include me..


heck care..

Lost NUS

Just as expected... i sat down on bench for the whole game..
i dun seems to sulk or asking myself why i din play..
i believe it's not the coaching problems..
im juz not aggressive enough or strong..

Np team played quite well against the NUS team.. but defensive rebounds are not doing us the favour or i shall sae we are not doing well on our defensive rebounds..
tat's why we lose the game.. they got alot of 2nd attempts..

i played basketball since sec 1...
this is the second time i was benched for the whole game..
remembered the first time was against Tagawa in the second round of youth cup..
before tat i was the 6th or 7th player in my team..
den the next match against the combined red sch, i decided not to go..
i bluffed to my coach saying that i got test.. but in fact i went to play basketball with my frens..
=X ( shh..dun tell any coaches, especially Guang Fu!)

and tonight is my 2nd time.. i really hope there wont be another time although there are high chances getting benched again.. next match against RP on wed..

i felt abit better when daryl told me suddenly and he said if i was like my yr 1 before i was injured, tonight i will be playing...
thanks...
but i need to work hard to get back to the same again..
poor knee..

win RP and SMU first before the tough fight against NTU..

Start Of IVP

tmr will be the start of IVP.. finally, the long-awaited day has come..
tmr will be against NUS.. i firmly believe tat if we, the NP team win this game.. we will fancy a veri high chance to play in the semi-finals..
we have to fight hard... guess so will the NUS team..
we can win...

had my dinner at KFC with marc and ying xian.. luckily they jio-ed me out if not i would be bored to death at home.. nth to do..
before eating my dinner.. i went to have some shootings with my fren,Sean...
he is playing for SP and will be playing against NYP tmr..
talked alot abt our teams and stuffs..
even scaring him with our Mr Flawless( Raven) =)

after dinner, decided to dye my hair.. there's abit left so i finished the bottle..
den went on to find some games in Yahoo..
not bad.. found Monopoly.. although playing one on one with the computer player.. i found some contentness by winning the computer by alot.. spent abt 40 mins to get it bankrupt.. =)

but SHIT! i forgot abt my hair... needed 15 mins to get it done but i exceeded the timing..
SHIT! came out of the bathroom with red hair.. dad was shocked.. AIyo!

die la.. wat am i going to do tmr.. someone will talk abt my hair.. seeking lots of attention..
marc still told me 'ang ang' means lucky.. wth..
but hopefully get some lucky shots tmr too..=/

gotta do something abt my hair...=(
finished!

Anxiety...Ankle...

had a friendly match again with tong whye team...
this time we lost.. not because we played badly.. they played really well..
not all of the NP players came.. five had their inter-con match..

i could say that i had played slightly better than the first friendly.. cos i had take note of wat the coach saes and wan from me.. trying to get rid of my weaknesses by playing strongly and more aggressively.. get some points b4 coming out. den i couldn't continue after landing from a jump shot..

sharp pain was wat i felt.. i got subbed out in time.. then, i told the coach i cant continue as i felt soreness in my left ankle.. laoheng told me to rest and dun play anymore..
now some of us had roughly knew who are the 15 players to play for NP..
JIAYOU!


hopefully i can shake off this ankle problem before IVP which is on next mon.. first match against NUS.. a strong team..
had to play well..


i need a new pair of basketball shoes..!LAOHENG!!

How to play basketball?

how do i play basketball when i..
have no confidence?
am not as strong and aggressive as b4?
am injury prone?

today, had a friendly match with tong whye.. i know i din play well..
it's been a tough and physical game..
having defend against the better players there, i had exposed all weaknesses within me..

after the match, laoheng told the whole team how each of us fare during the friendly..
i was told tat i am not as strong and aggressive as b4 and oso he's afraid i might injure my knee again..
i know my knee is not strong enough and tat is why i cant be aggressive..
now having hurt my back and ankle.. things look worse for me..
i can only defend stronger players but not the faster ones..

overall,almost everybody in the np team played really well tonight.. we won the tong whye jiazhu even though the coach told us that they are not in full force and they had some missing players..

IVP is juz 5days away..
i know wat i need to do..
i muz change my mindset.. overcoming the psychological barrier..
i muz get my confidence back
i muz oso get stronger in the fastest time and do something abt my stamina(although coach din mention,but i know my stamina is bad..)
no more injuries...

But am i really to play?
i will not be surprise if i was not selected for the IVP..

Sunday, September 30, 2007

Stronger than yesterday..

waking up so early in the morning and got nth to do..
so i decided to spend the whole morning downloading songs...

den in the afternoon, decided to spend some hrs working out..
did lots of push ups and some shoulders exercises..
till i cant lift up both my arms..
i know i have to do this cos IVP will be starting in a week time..
all matches will be physically played,, and of cos i do not wish to lose out to them..

it will be my first IVP =)

Saturday, September 29, 2007

Hope?

have my np training in the morning...but coach din come..
we did some shooting and discussed abt some offensive plays...
hot morning and veri tired..
after tat carried on playing basketball in the evening..

8 oct is the start of the IVP... first match against NUS.. playing at NTU-NIE at 845pm
seriously.. i think that np cant play far with the standard like this..
we were grouped along with NTU,NUS,SIM and RP.. it's a tougher group compare to the other..
if we win our opening match, i believe we will have a chance..
but how can we win when our trainings are so little and slack... mostly playing 5 on 5..
hai.. had been tiring for the past few weeks.. need to get my slp back..

Fucking Villain



had my np chalet on fri and sat.. have so much fun playing with the guys and girls there..
got sunburn when i got back.. red and hot..
waiming and jamie during a forfeit in a game---exchanging clothes.. =)
haha..

after the bbq on sat night.. got home early cos i got an early basketball match the next day

lost...
against kembangan
by 4pts..

trailed alot by the end of the first half..but everyone in the team gave their 101% and soon caught up near the end of the game..

i was veri tired.. i knew all the compiled fatigue i had during the last 2 days of the chalet was overcoming me.. i did lots of warm-ups,running outside the court, stretching both my legs more times than my usual ones..but my muscles around me are all so tight.. i told my fren not to start me as im not prepared.. im afraid i would injure myself again...
went in and played the game.. i felt as if my whole person was on the court but my spirit was somewhere else.. i couldn't concentrate.. i had tried alot of times to get some pts but still i couldn't.. i din defend well.. din covered up spaces left by my teammates.. gave them easy baskets..

i only got 3 pts for the whole game... =(
how can i played like this..? all i felt was the tiredness within me..
we got back in the last quarter and trailing by 2 pts in the last 30 secs..
but it was me who ruined the chance to win or tie the game..
it was my silly mistake to ruin the whole game.. everyone was playing hard to fight close with the opposition.. but i made a stupid mistake at the dying moment..

i was at the sideline catching the ball which kah cheong passed to me.. i caught it but it went off my hands and that was out of bound.. fuck!

then they got their 2 free throws made cos of our team fouls..

we lost by 4 points.. then again we knew we muz go for a 3pt shot,but i din.. kah cheong gave it to me.. i drived into the paint and shoot at the 'A' pt.. but air ball.. the game end..

the whole game.. i was juz searching and trying to bring myself back.. all the shots i shoot were either air balls or forced shots.. i din defend well.. all the rebounds i got are those players who tapped away.. i should not have played in the last few minutes after jian rong fouled out.. if i din played, perhaps, we had a chance to win or tie the game.. but the silly mistake of mine costs the whole team.. i was utterly disappointed..

sorry guys... i knew that the team does not win or lose because of one player.. but truly.. it was my fault.. i got the team lost.. thanks for cheering me up after the game.. i was quietly blaming myself at one corner and was veri disappointed with myself..

i know i have to change the way i play.. IVP is around the corner.. some players in np will not be playing.. but i do not wan to be the player to fill up the spaces in the team.. i wan to be a player who a coach wans..
sigh..



who's tat fucking villain today?
it's me..

My injury

today, i went for np training.. two times a day.. one in the morning and one in the evening...
in between,i still got physio therapy but it's easy for me...
tired after the whole day... non-stop perspiring..
think i sprained my ankle slightly in the morning and sprained my finger at night..
fat finger.. =(

during np training, an accident happened... we lost a speedy forward, ah pow to an injury.. he din land well after a lay-up.. grabbing his knee when he's was down.. at first i tot he was jk with us,but later i began to realise it's no laughing matter... and it's almost the same i had a yr ago... feeling sad for him.. but muz jiayou.. everything's going to be fine..

1 yr back.. i was playing the POL-ITE cup in my first yr.. was delighted to get a chance to play for ngee ann.. but this joy last for only the first three mins of the game... VS TP...

i was hit by my teammate when boxing out to get the rebound.. his leg went in hard into the side of my left knee.. the next moment, i heard an audible 'clak' sound.. something snapped in my knee... i was down on the ground grabbing my knee.. and was carried off by my mates..
i knew it was all over for me... when i try to stand up during a time-out.. my knee gave way... and i fell again...
was brought home by my fren as he stays near to me.. got a cab home cos i totally cant walk..
and at night when i slp,i had to put a pillow under my knee so i can limit my pain and slp..

the next day, when i woke up.. i had totally forgot abt wat had happened to my knee but only to feel the pain when i try to get off my bed..
went to the polyclinic by my dad's car although it was just a less than 5 min walk.. had an x ray and was referred to the SGH..

i went online to search for the injury i had and found out Michael Owen got the same injury as mine..
When the MRI report is out, it had confirmed with me tat i had a complete tear of ACL, strained MCL and a torn meniscus..
finally accepted the fact that i will need to get a reconstruction if i wan to run again..
not at all shocking maybe because i had expected it through some research abt it..
6 to 9 mths recovery period.. the worst injury i got..

went for the sugery on 2nd march, when i woke up, i am veri happy cos i knew i had fixed my injury.. used hamstring tendons as a substitution for my torn ligament..
but the road to recovery was a tough one..
start rehab as soon as i was pushed out of the operating theatre... till now..

first three months have been battling with the pain and soreness in my knee.. but was manageable for me with some pain killers and medications....
slowly, i regained my strength and start to jog and in no time i start to jump again.. but was too low for me..

now everything is fine now and i had began my np training..

biodex test- quadriceps-93%
hamstring-83%

in two weeks time, i will have another biodex test.. if both muscles exceed 95%, i can be discharged from the hospital.. =)

i wont wan this horrible injury to ever happen to me again.. i do not wan another yr of pain and sadness.. and oso i do not wish anyone to have the same injury as me.. =/

JIAYOU!

71-59 loss

ngee ann training in the morning... so tired..
rain started to pour in the middle of the training and did some drills under the shelter..
train our leg muscles and some shooting drills..
besides tat.. laoheng keep telling me to overcome my psychology barrier i had..
but i dunno how! =( why is there psychology barrier?
i dun wish to get too tired cos i will be having a match in the afternoon...

match started at 5pm at sbc... against tampines west(a rather 2 man team)..
4 players of cckcc did not come and receive a news that the coach wont be coming...
wat the fuck.. wat's the problem with this coach man.. no sense of responsibility..
giving stupid excuse like he din receive the msg.. how can it be when all 12 players received it and he dont... give a better excuse like he's not free or wat la...
how cckcc play with this kind of coach...? we got good players.. better players year by year..
but the fucking coach is the same.. all he does is to get money for 'coaching'( starting to think is he a coach??) and scolding players when he's not happy.. think we played better in the last two matches without this coach... where has ur responsibility gone? he should have know we got inter con even b4 he reached Singapore...cant he even ask when's our next match?
i only had one suggestion.. change the coach...

lost this match.. by 12 pts.. we played our best... yan ming is the best player on court.. had a good debut for cckcc... we lost because of rebounds and some easy 3 pts from their players..
we played a tight match in the first half.. not losing more than 10 pts.. however... in the third quarter.. they made some shots from the 3 pt line.. losing alot of pts.. but we fought back slowly..

we are playing with only 8 players.. i do not have the good stamina to endure in the court.. played almost 40 mins... only get to sub out to get drinks and rest only awhile b4 getting back..
played veri badly... got 15 pts... had to defend well at one side and help to attack at the other..
but i dun do well at both ends.. shoulders are stiff and trembling.. guess tat's the result of the the shooting drills during np training.. too tired to run up and down.. almost have cramps near the end of the match..
lost by 10 pts in the last 1min plus.. we had to shoot in some 3s to get back..
but i shoot all the balls whenever there's chance.. all were air balls... i knew i can pass the balls to others like kah cheong or yanming but i din..
guess at that time.. i was even too tired to think... =(

i was even accused for injuring a player who was sent to the hospital.. had quite a large tear from his lips to somewhere near his nose.. bloody mess.. guess it cant stop bleeding..
but i din injure him at all.. all i knew is tat he juz fell down behind me and i got the rebound.. i din touch him at all... hopefully he's fine..

tired.....

Earthquake..

wat a special day for me..... lol..
this is the first time i had felt tremors in my house..

i was doing some push-ups in my room and when i got up,i felt giddy suddenly..
i tot i was going to die,cos i remembered yingxian mentioned earlier during our np training tat we will be the next Antonio Puerta( a footballer who died because of heart attack during a game)..
then i saw my shirt which was hanging on the clothes stand moved... i quickly sat down and really felt my room was shaking... den it stopped after a while..
having met with such life-threatening situation,i went out of my room and saw my mum and bro standing up too.. they said the sofa was shaking... i knew there was an earthquake near singapore.. and a strong one..
quickly, i went to ask yingxian and marc in msn whether they feel the tremors and they said no...
marc even told me that the pp near my house is drilling ba..
cant be possible...how can they drill my whole house down...?
den later yingxian told me there was an earthquake is indonesia and ritcher scale reads 7.9..
a strong one indeed.

arrgh.. i got toothache..

NP training

went for np training in the morning and it was still raining when i woke up..
not in the mood or have any energy to train.. guess it was because i slept late last night..

only 8 pp turned up for the training..
training start at 10am plus.. it was tough although it dun look like one.. juz some shootings and defend drills.. the defend drills alone can kill me.. it was all so tough.. no water and stamina..
all end around 12plus.. wat a short but tough training..
coach even told me to strengthen my legs more.. sian...
hope thurs training wont be tough.. heard will be combined with the gals.. and hope the gals can distract laoheng.. =)

heard from gabriel tat the IVP fixtures are out..
Ngee Ann are grouped along with NTU,NUS,SMU and RP...
all are tough games...
i must buck up and train well and get well-conditioned to get selected to play for my first-ever IVP after missing one in yr 1 through injury... darn..

after eating,yingxian,waiming, weijun and i took cab home... yingxian decided to come to my house for some games.. and marc joined us abit later in the afternoon.. i had fun but was tired too.. =(

before yingxian and marc left my house.. yingxian and i taught marc how to wear the contact lenses.. so troublesome...
teach so many times still dunno.. im such a fast learner.. but he....? hai..
but somehow or somewat or dunno wat.. he look rather suave.. dunno y....

71-39 Victory


had a haircut in the morning at around 11am plus...
then went back home and slp again.. maybe because of waking up so early..
had my dinner with marc around 5plus b4 going for my match..

met up with my mates at cck and went to aljunied...
also recieved a call from waiming tat he cant make it for the match to coach us..
initially,it was xiuhan to offer his help,but cant make it in the last min.. so had to call waiming up for his help.. but he oso cant make it in the end.. so we were without a coach and oso two of our important players,yan ming and kenny..

well.. did not start the match as i was nervous,can do more warm ups to get ready for the match.. when i saw their starters,some of them dun look like a basketballer.. they look more like a dragon boater to me..!
a tight contest in the first quarter.. lost by several pts.. our offense was not going as steady as we want..
when it was my turn to play in the second quarter.. i hope i can do much better.. the knee wrap which i bought had made good use for me.. putting less pressure and weight for me..unlike the brace..

By the end of third quarter, we had stretched our lead to abt 20+ pts.. made several fast breaks and defend well.. now it seems to be a one-sided game so sean decided to rest me and say he scared i might hurt myself again.. but i still wan to play.. it's had been so long since playing my first match and of cos i wan to play more and my knee is feeling good and normal..

Overall... i think i still din put in so much effort.. only played two quarters and had 14pts.. some easy shooting and 2 three pts out of 3 attempts.. =)
Jason got the most pts-20pts.. thanks to him and the rest of the team, we had won the team by this thick margin..

I had oso realised tat i had been playing too much on offense, neglecting the duty to defend and rebounding..
knowing tat next match is against Tampines West( a seeded team), i had to do more on defense..
and hopefully we can win...

Saturday, September 8, 2007

=)

finally got the knee wrap i wan at queensway...
thanks marc for accompanying me to queensway..
went to BBDC to watch marc enrol for his driving course after traveling to queensway..
return home and did alot of workout.. hopefully i can be ready for tmr match.. first game after 11mths.. =) and a good way to experiment myself on court
with waiming,my last resort coach, can we win?? =/

Thursday, September 6, 2007

=)

Tired

went back to np to help carry the wheelchairs to United World College for the wheelpower training and i met ivor in 985 bus by chance after his driving lesson.. he was going for the training too.. glad that there's someone i knew was going too..

Upon reaching there, we ( me , mingkai, ivor and the rest, i duno their names) carry those chairs to the basketball court in the sports hall.. the court remind me of those in sbc except it's air conditioned.. went in and nobody was there except for some of the students there... we managed to borrow some balls and start playing.. while all of them wanted to play with the wheelchairs , i went to the other side to start shooting balls...

been shooting balls for 2 hrs plus.. din shoot balls for so long b4!!now my shoulders are stiff..
then, their sch volleyball team came in and wanted to use the court... but were sent back cos we book the entire hall... but one gal caught my attention.. she's the only asian among the blondes there... believe she's a mixed blood.. have a pair of nice eyes.. like tat kana attracted liao..
in the end.. they went out..
well.. i went out too..
to drink some water... =(

the training was veri relaxed compared to those basketball trainings i usually have.. only using the upper body strength and the game was fun.. din know that sitting in wheelchair and play basketball can be tat fun..

it all end abt 10pm,by that time i was veri tired.. quickly took the MRT home and on my way back, i found out lot 1 had change.. since when got tunnel one?!
den instead of waiting for my bus,i ran home.. only takes 3min plus.. wat a fast runner...

after this tiring whole day i oso found out one thing .. i cant jump shot anymore.. i dunno why.. it's either my weight is pulling me down, or my knees are not strong enough.. how can it be like tat when my first game is juz three days away...? =(

First Blog

my first blog..
wanted to start blogging long ago but tests and exams had been bothering me..
now tat im free cos im having my HOLIDAYS now.. =)
free to do anything i like =)

nth to say much too on my first post
finished jogging at lamsoon, kana chase by dog.. nabei! the owner ^$%@$!
now one thing i learnt when jogging, do not overtake the dogs..

and of cos hope tat i can shed some kgs and get my knees stronger
cos this sat is my first basketball tournament ever since injuring myself in last oct..
really hope to play well against Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng..
not knowing much abt the team but cant bring myself to under-estimate them..
with new players like yan ming and jason joining us, we can win
but without prasad, we got to work hard for the rebounds...
really hope to win on this sat....
