recently i've been constantly playing basketball again, to lose some weight. after a while i realized that some of the old kaki's were still playing basketball, from back in the days, and sometimes we like to reminisce bout the past... even though we're not as fast as we used to but we still could play a fairly decent game. after form 5, i havent been training at all...and after all that years i admit i've gotten rusty. couldnt even fit into my old jerseys. i was determine to get back in shape...so i started off last week with some jogging around my house and shooting drills at home. Hari's is hitting the gym, feel like joining him...but pokai lo like that.
i started basketball in form2, when i caught a glimpse of the anime Slamdunk. it really inspire me to pick up a basketball and play...which i did. first off i started playing at usj16. despite my height, i got trash badly...i couldnt even shoot a free throw at the time. then in form 3, my high school finally build a basketball court and i was happy as ever. unfortunately...there are strict rules which makes it troublesome at times. then i joined the basketball team and manage to represent the school guided by a state coach...it was all fun and games before he arrives.
basketball training was tough. stamina training was the worst...just watch Coach Carter, u'll see. most of the time i'll be running n running n running...not like the anime at all. i prefer shooting the ball, coz i'm lazy to drive the lanes...and also to avoid injuries. i was a forward, not really sure about my role but whenever i get the ball, most of the time i'll just shoot it. i hardly play under the basket. dad was pretty supportive and he bought me a basketball rim where i did more shooing drills to perfect my shots, used some videos on youtube as guidance.
got some funny nicknames 2. Hooker(swt, i dont hook anymore), Willy, WillyWonka...dunno why, now they call me CentaurWarchief... (O.o? based on my initials?)
the beginning of the new semester is a couple of days away. i've finally hit the big one last sem with some pretty important subjects...the biggest wall of em all but unfortunately while on my way up...i slipped and fell. minor set back...(1 semester back...)
