back. holidays real sian man. if only we have tonnes of money and no sch for ky, we'll rock day and night. if only. nvm, killed some time watching some of these inspirational videos. nba v5: becoming an all star.

really like to see what nba superstars do to achieve what they have and see all the hardwork that they had put in their journey of becoming great players.

i really hope that i can follow their examples. as in, i'm not dreaming of becoming a nba all star, but i'm really trying real hard to strive and work hard to be the best player i can be.

becoming an all star: gilbert arenas part 1.


becoming an all star: gilbert arenas part 2.

ok. gonna try and find some stuff to keep me occupied now.

as stated in jun jie's sms on wednesday afternoon, "sorry bro. i got test until friday. we'll rock on friday."

well, we did just that ytd. met up with ky and boss at around 12 plus to go down to ngee ann city for the army career experience convention. what can i say? not what i expected. but anyway, ky found what he and jm wanted and its off to wisma to slack. i became a delivery man once again. had a very important package for sir that will decide his future. lol.

after wisma its home sweet home as ky needs to go home to prepare for his study session with jw at ehub. but since jj said that we will rock on friday, i called on waikit, sir, boss for pool at ehub.

had dinner with my family before going off to meet ky and waikit to take bus 3 together. met sir on bus and then went to meet the other 2.

accompanied jj and waikit for dinner at bbq chicken. while they were eating, we were happily playing dai di with boss. well, no pay and team18s on the verge on bankruptcy? nvm, most important is that, boss is nice to bully.

pool was great. usual jiao weis. but jm was on a roll. 8 straight wins. wtf! but ky's still the record holder with 12. hahahaha.

first challenger:
boss sim pei ren. skill "b", &#%@^ factor "a".

second challenger:
pro entertainer chua jun jie. skill "b", jiao wei "s".

third challenger:
fuck face chui wai kit. skill "b", db aura "a".

last challenger:
me. skill "b", tycho "a".

so yeah. he cleared us for 2 rounds until boss finally kicked him out with a win without glory as jm was tired. we were wondering why jm was so zai ytd. well, he's aura was coming to meet him mah. no wonder so powderful.

after pool, went to talk crap with ky and jw for awhile before going home. boss's the man, sent me home with his bike. real cool man although we looked like 2 china man gaying. lol.

as for this morning, another great session of fartleks. here comes a new challenger. lol. jm joined us this time round. nice. more competitive.

sprint 800m, 400m, 300m, 2x200m and then 100m. led for 800m, 400m, a 200m and 100m. lol. i went, "holy shit!" when justin went haywire for the 300m sprint. lol. after running, everyone was on the verge of vomiting. good. meant that we pushed ourselves to the limit.

ok. photos.

at wisma toilet.

jun jie. our star entertainer.

wai kit. dragonboater.

boss's very hot pose. lol.

brothers since sec 1.

the coolest guy on earth.

"team18s, roll out!"

jj vs jm.

well. my idol in action. lebron may be better than him now. but well, fuck it.


kobe bryant's top 10 play for first half of nba 2008/09 season.


kobe's top 10 dunks and moves remix.

ok. over and out.

alright. 365th post and 20000th visits. nice. 365 posts. thats one whole year of shitload posts. lol. power eh.

ok. fuuccckkkk yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! been waiting for a long time to say this. after 13 days of waiting, the main exams are finally over. this is bullshit, 13 days for one paper. more than enough time to study. well, proud to say i've studied hard and played hard. like the saying goes, "study sucks but i need the marks". yeah. needa push my erm from a "b+" to an "a". hope i'll achieve that.

ok. lets start with post exams activities starting from today. standard lah huh. bball after exams. played with justin, samuel, chen wee and anton outside sch due to the rain. well, played 2 on 3 throughout. justin and samuel vs chen wee, anton and me. didn't keep track of score. just having fun talking crap, laughing at each other's mistakes and missed shot attempts, laughing at chen wee when he got blocked by justin, doing stupid posts after some tough shots and humping justin. lol.

finally. justin's back at full power. super nice piece of news. asked samuel and justin on my growth. hahahaha. both said that my shooting improved! sweet dude. gonna keep on training.

ok. army convention with ky, boss and possibly justin at ngee an city. after that? god knows what we'll do. walk around? maybe play dai di in town. lol. and after that, we'll be kicking off the legendary week. first up, accompanying ky to sch! well, thats still pending. need to do some planning.

ok now. pre exams hype. went for dinner/supper at east coast with ky, jm, boss and vanda. cool as shit. ky droved his brother's car out. met ky at his house void deck and went to pick jm, boss and vanda up respectively. then we decide to take a long route to ecp via changi village. wanna run that long straight stretch of road. hit 130km man. lol.

not being familiar with the road, we depended on jm for directions and then due to some difference in frequency between ky and jm, we entered the wrong entrance to pie. travelled in the wrong direction to ecp and need to find an exit and then re-enter pie again.

exited at changi business park and went expo to pee. then on to ecp for carl's junior. hahaha. i think it took us one hour to get from tampines to ecp. anyway, dai di, crapped and then went to on a toilet hunt before heading home.

alright. gonna slp now. need to wake up early tml.

hmmmm. still pondering on whether to buy that blink 182 t shirt. coolest shit ever. well, i have until tml to decide i think.

anyway, went running with ky and justin ytd at tampines stadium. what can i say? pretty fruitful trip. the purpose of the trip were to train up on our stamina and speed and also, to vomit. lol. serious. i was telling justin that i won't go home until i vomit from all the running. so i can proudly say, mission accomplished. too bad i'm the only one who vomited. ky said its good cause i'm the one who obviously put in everything.

after ytd, fartleks seriously are fucked up. i vomited and peng-ed for half an hour. thats pretty long. but bo bian. my ankle injury took away some of my speed and explosiveness, so i'm gonna get that back by training. as compared to long distance, i think short distance sprinting like fartleks is more of my style. i've got the focus to go running but don't have the patience to run long distance. plus i like running at fast speed.

so after that hellish 30 minutes, i got up, washed up and went for brunch with ky. subway's still the best man. home, slacked, studied abit, slacked, viwawa-ed, dinner with family at bedok south, got a hair cut and home for more slacking.

anyway, went to my chinese physician to check on my ankle on thursday. he said that i need one more session with him after what was supposed to be my last session. so yeah. was so dead tired the whole day due to 3 straight days of bball.

dinner with samuel at pizzahut and then watched pink panther 2 with him. while eating, i told samuel that i will wake up at 5am every morning just to pray if i am that fucking lucky enough to have k as my gf. hahahahaha. but impossible eh.

movie poster for pink panther 2.

so yeah. last 2 parts of this post.

long story for bored people like me. and followed by nba slam dunk theatre. hell yeah. dunking is an art. every dunk is a masterpiece. my life long dream. vince carter, best dunker ever.


part 1.


part 2.


part 3.


part 4.


part 5.

alright. sayonara.

met up with jun ming and justin for 3rd straight day of bball ytd. fun trip i should say although i was too wore out. fatigue of playing 3 straight days.

i trained justin on his reverse lay up whereas they trained me on my jumper. due to the fatigue, it took me a very long time to finish the discounted training. hahahaha. legs totally no strength.

played 3 on 3 with some guys. lost the 1st round, 10-11 and won the 2nd, 11-8. can't blame. everyone was off. slacked for awhile, went toilet to wash my hair and then accompany jm for dinner.

wah. was surfing the net and saw this! i want the chrome smiley black t shirt and hoodie! the legendary week of 3-6-9 coming liao arh. hint hint arh. small for t shirt and medium for hoodie. lol.

on the day that kobe bryant shone the brightest among nba stars, i crashed and burnt. yeah. he led the western all stars and thrashed the east 146-117 en route to sharing co mvp honour with shaquille o'neal. i on the other hand didn't score a single point in 3 matches although we won 2 of the 3.

kinda disappointed. it happened after i worked so much on my jumper. but no point getting all emo over it. like what gilbert arenas said after he missed the 2 potential game winning free throws against cavaliers during the playoffs a few years back, "its back to the gym for more training".

so, i went down again today. shoot around, removed rust on my lay up and then its sweet redemption. leave me wide open and you'll pay for the mistake. lol.

played 3 and won 2 again. this time i contributed more. getting more and more comfortable with my mid range game. =)


top 10 plays from 2009 all star game.

no.2 and and no.1 was sick as shit man. hope u all enjoyed the video. bb.

alright. blink 182's back and i'm back too. lol. back on the court i mean. went bballing on my own last friday. damn, it felt so good. its been like a week plus since i felt the freedom of moving on the bball court man. i'm like a free soul there. only the ball and me. no worries. nth.

vday 2009 was slightly different. spent the first half of the day with my mum. accompanied her for lunch, to make a new pair of specs and deliver some stuff to my grandmother before meeting up with my dad. then we went bugis guan yin temple to pray and went shopping at og. hahahaha. not bad.

other half of the day was spent with jm, boss, justin and kelly. dinner at bk before pooling at ehub. crap at subway after that.

oh yah. i felt like i've disgraced bit. hahahaha. been using my n85 for one whole week before finding out that it slides 2 way. can't blame me arh. nv update on phones. always thought that only n95 and n96 slides 2 ways. can't blame me for not trying to slide the phone in both ways also, i have a knack for destroying slide phones. actually, justin's the one.

*slided the phone abit harder than usual.*
*it ended up sliding in another direction.*
me: holy fuck. eh, my phone can slide two ways arh?
kelly: omg, meaning all the while u dunno?
me: yah.
kelly: how long have u been using that phone?
me: 2 to 3 days?
kelly: cannot be. u were holding it last saturday.
me: omg. so long liao arh?

disgrace arh.

as for ytd, ko-ed until 1 plus i think. hahahaha, the god damn siren at 12 didn't completely wake me up. stayed home to catch the repeated broadcast of nba all star weekend day 2. wanted to catch it live on tv at 8am. but pls arh, be abit realistic, its so not me to wake up at 8 just to catch some programmes. there's an encore somemore.

the slam dunk competition was nice. superman dwight howard got dethroned by krypto-nate robinson who wore all green for the finals. used a green bball somemore. super cool sia.

plans for tml? sadly none. wanted to meet up with justin for bball but guess gf comes first arh. lol. so yeah. think i'm gonna do my solo trianing. one week plus of rest didn't affect me much. still had my shooting touch, but i'm gonna train and master the art of fade away jumpers. that's a really hard one to master.

alright. more photos on cny trip to jun liang's house.

erm, thats sim pei ren, ceo of team18s holding. he's my favourite boss so far. lol.

all in?

oh yah. even though team18s holding went bankrupt under his lead, he's currently finding ways to rebuild the entire organisation.

gamblers.

gamblers.

this is before jun liang father's pair ace. if not he won't be so happy. lol.

thats sir kwa. our badman. erm i mean batman.

ok. gonna stop here.

fuck. i can't stop smiling now. i'm super hyped up. fuck yeah! blink 182's back! back in studio writing, preparing for a new album and a world tour. fuck shit! somemore, a new logo! 6 arrows instead of 5 now.

new chromed smiley.

they appeared on stage together during the 51st grammy awards to present the best rock album award. fuck it man. those bands can't match blink 182.

"summer 2009. thanks and get ready."

hell yeah. i'm so fucking ready since god knows when. 2009 is really a fucking good year. finally see the returns of all the good deeds i've done. always believed in karma. =)

omg. i'm so gonna cry. blink 182 and my knee. fuck yeah.

i think i can start a business. jem's delivery services. weekdays, after 6, prompt delivery with goods in good condition. so far, 1 satisfied customer. sir jun ming. so yeah, need any sort of delivery to be done? just give me a call. but i accept orders depending on my mood. =)

so yeah. met up with ky and sir for a short while today. they wanted to watch underworld: rise of the lycans, but i've already watched it with samuel the previous week, so went to meet them for dinner only.

being the last one to meet up, sir asked me to help him get some stuff. so calculated the time nicely, left my house to get the item and went down to ehub to meet them. kinda dozed off on bus no.3, can't blame me. its the first time i'm so alert on a bus. the package was a fragile item, so must pay extra attention to it. hahahahaha. ended up dozing off. powerful arh?

met up with them just as they were leaving the cinema. zai right? timing so zhun. went to jm's chalet to slack for awhile and then had dinner at subway. dinner with them is always nice.

slacked and talked for a short while before going home with ky. think this kinda of meeting will be very often this year. unlike the previous years, everyone's like more occupied. those brothers who finished their a's will be going for ns, kwok's already inside. brothers in poly will be having intern and major projects whereas ky will be having a's. so yeah. this is growing up.

nevertheless, can't wait for supper trip a few weeks from now. ky will be driving. can go as far as we like. will be an exciting trip man. so brothers, make yourselves free roughly 4 weeks from now. roughly after 12th march.

oh yeah. my current physician said that he might be able to solve my knee problems. should be problems with my ligaments too. hope he's correct and is able to cure my knee problem. am kinda happy nowadays because of this piece of news.

samuel told me that maybe i should have a deadline for being so committed to bball. i'm thinking maybe 1 more year? allow my ankle and knee to heal up before strengthening them and then play at my best condition. i've always wanted to see for myself what i can do if i'm at 100%. get what i mean? so yeah. 1 year to savour the moment. hopefully.

but if there's still no help for my knee. i'm ok with it. lived with it for so long and got used to it. am still going all out after my ankle's all heal up after tuesday.

thats all.

and you're more than just my valentine,
you're my ticket outta loserville.

watch this, its fucking awesome.



kobe bryant with new york yankees star alex rodriguez, olympic gold medalist michael phelps and skateboarding icon tony hawk to promote guitar hero.

anyway. nice article here. the only person who could stop kobe is kobe.

have fun. =)

holy! lakers won both celtics and cavaliers in the past week. top team in nba currently. anyway, kobe played with a flu and even vomited before the game started. but he scored 19 points. lebron on the other hand had 16 points for 5 of 20 shooting. noob! kobe shot better than u even when he had a flu. this got to earn kobe the top spot in the race to mvp column man.

alright. went to sch practically for nth. sat in the lab for 1 hour of erm and left for polyclinic. no, not to get mc. went polyclinic to find my mum, she's there to get some medicine for her chronic headache.

stayed in the clinic for like 2 hours. hahahaha. almost died of boredom. but nvm arh. accompany mother mah. at least we talked throughout. lol.

then went down to kovan to get my ankle treated. new physician. a better one i presume. but damn, the medicine is so god damn oily lah. i think if i drop a lighter on my ankle, the whole leg confirm gone.

anyway, the physician's quite funny arh.

u know, the previous trend in america is "oh my god". but now, they don't do that, they go "oh 爸妈".

hahahaha. got me kinda stunned at first. oh yah, like i guessed, major prob with my ankle now is weakened ligaments. genius lah.

was talking to justin ytd.

me: good thing i got determination. can still play with injuries.
justin: yeah. saw my pm?
me: yah. south korean old lady taking the driving test 772nd time right?
justin: yeah.
me: actually, this shows 2 extreme of human beings.
justin: ?
me: first, we have a very determined old woman. taking the driving test even when she has already failed 771 times. respectable determination and mind strength. and the second one will be. it shows us the extend of how stupid a person can get. 771 times. i think that's more than the questions in the database.
justin: LOL.
me: 771 times sia. i think its more than the amount of 3 pointers i've sank in my whole life.
justin: LOL.

lol. serious, no joke. 771 times sia. and its only theory test. but anyway, good luck to her 772nd attempt.

ok. saturday's trip to jun liang's house was a blast. boss was super funny throughout. he got a little high after some alcohol and became the entertainment for the night. blackjack was good initally. jun liang lost $40 to us in total and i won $7. then the tide turned when jun liang's father took over. our investment in boss went from listed company to bankruptcy. one pair of ace by jun liang's father and we lost $15. power as shit. overall, lost 70 cents. lol.

missed our last bus back to tampines but kelly's father was nice enough to send us to tampines interchange. zai sia, sitting at the back of a lorry and talking cock. damn power and shiok.

ok. last thing. chengyu gave me his sch team jersey. it's out of my admiration for tp bball team that he gave it to me. 2xl sia. so can't possibly wear it. even if i can, i'm not that bold to wear it. a bit too bhb arh. so i guess i'm gonna pin it up on my wall.

alright. photos.

that's my mum and dad fooling around. i think my dad said something wrong so my mum pounced on him.

can tell where i got my crazy personality from arh.

that's anton wearing chengyu's jersey. can be pyjamas liao lah.

lky testing boss to check if he's drunk. apparently, this method doesn't work cause it only makes the candidate blur.

ok. gonna chat with justin for a little bit longer before turning in.

4 days to first monthsary. 8 january 2009, i had my first ankle injury. 4 february, i had my second. ok, go ahead and laugh peeps. i wasn't being stubborn i swear. my ankle had fully healed. it was evident. today, i was just down on my luck and its just another accident.

erm, i kinda crashed into samuel's leg while marking him and then kaboom, i'm lying on the floor holding on to my left leg. that instance, all that ran through my mind was, "this is big fuck. this is big fuck. there goes my so called career and league series should be days away and i'm in this state again."

samuel and anton sent me home and when my mum knew about this, i had a dreadful round of scolding. she asked me to stop playing bball. it kinda got me thinking while i was sitting on the toilet bowl shitting.

lets do the mathematics ok? from primary 2 to poly year 2, that's 11 years of bballing. what have i got from it? no sch team selection, a spot in an outside bball team which was inactive for 4 years, 1 minor biz shield championship trophy which i didn't even play and 4 injuries concentrated on the left side of my body. 11 years should be enough, its time to stop.

also, i've woke up from my dream long time ago. every nba player just said that if u believe in it and work hard, you'll get there someday. i believed in it, i've work hard but i have no talent so, time to focus on something else.

but hah, if u think that i'm gonna stop just like this. hell no. i'm ok with me not being on a sch team. i'm ok with me not having any trophy for major competitions. i'm ok with me never having the chance to play in the nba. i've ok with me not having any talent. but i'm not ok if i give up. the reason i kept on playing is because i have the passion for bball. i just wanna play.

i don't mind playing bball around any streetball courts. i don't mind if there's no fame. its all ok. i'll improve at my own pace. i'll be satisfied winning those pick up matches. i'll be satisfied as long as i can shoot the ball for my whole life. words from a loser u may say. but i'll be a bigger loser if i quit now.

my mind's set. try to persuade me all u want peeps. try. i just wanna play.

over and out.

i thought kobe was slowing down. he's 3rd in nba in scoring after dwayne wade and lebron james and i'm not very approving of it. he hasn't been showing his old self lately. however, i was wrong.

he just had better teammates around him. but when andrew bynum went down with a right knee injury after kobe bummed into him, he went back to his old self and once again created what i love most about him, a record breaking performance.

a tore ligament in his pinkie and a dislocated ring finger. don't forget about all these. its not him scoring 61 points that i'm amazed at, he scored 81 points before, so 61 was no surprise i should say. its him doing it with all those injuries on his shooting arm that make me respect him so much. don't think i can even shoot properly if i had a dislocated finger on my right arm. that's wicked man. thats mental. all up there.

my main man, kobe bryant.

side track abit arh. blink 182's not now.

come here, please hold my hand, lord, now
help me, i'm scared please show me how

and i wish, i gave you one last kiss.

please stay untill i'm gone
i'm here hold on to me
i'm right here waiting

that i will be right here waiting.

please stay untill i'm gone

please stay untill i'm gone
i'm here hold on to me
i'm right here waiting
and take my one last breath
and don't forget
that i will be right here waiting.

fucking cool song. one of my fav. damn. hope they really reunite man.

anyway, ky passed his driving test. that's so fucking cool can? but we didn't get to drive around, he can't find his brother's car keys. so ended up meeting him and jw at burnt mac for lunch at din tai fung. they wanted to study and me being a person who don't study outside, left for home.

short nap and then went out to buy dinner for my mum. good boy hor. lol.

bball tml, can't wait man. looking forward to try out a new variation for one of my moves and train on another one which chengyu and i want to master.

lastly, maf test was ok, erm lab test was ok also. life's good so far. but knn, lost $4 to soon xiang in poker. stupid beginner's luck. won $6 initially one leh! lol. but! win money lose money nvm, most important is that i had fun. hahahaha.

ok lah. time to study for cs2. once again, life's not that good currently. lol. tml will be a better day. confirm.

time flies man. its already the 2nd month of 2009. how fast can things go?

alright. sch's the same. just that there was a guest lecture on friday which nigel and i left halfway. wanted to leave with anton but well, wasn't mentally prepared yet when anton left. so was behind him for like 5 minutes i guess.

went home, bathed and then went bballing on my own. was supposed to train with justin but sad, he had to send his gf home if i remember correctly. so yah. played 6 matches, won 5. kinda had my shooting touch on friday which is pretty rare. for the first 3 games, i'm sinking almost everything that i put up. miracle huh?

after much training with chengyu, finally have slightly more confidence in myself. am able to play normally with those players at my estate. actually, it was more. traded moves with the guy whom i thought was the best on the team. hahahaha. kinda gl though.

as for ytd, samuel called me to go out with him and jasmine. couldn't make it cause i need to accompany my mum to make a new pair of specs and study for maf. but by 4 plus, the plan to make new pair of specs for my mum was postpone as she was lazy to go down to bedok and i'm ahead of schedule for maf.

so went out for dinner with justin and ky at marina square carl's junior. then hanged around marina square and suntec. bought myself a new bball pants. la lakers one somemore. however, got kinda pissed. u know things nv go smoothly when i buy stuff. went adidas to buy original adidas bball pants but they don't have my size. so i bought large which still fits. went out, and i told justin that royal sporting house may have medium. so we went in to check it out. holy fuck, i was correct. so ky was laughing at me all the way.

me: do i have a very qian da face? why i always run into these kind of bullshits when i buy stuff?
ky: hmmmm. yah i think yours face very qian da, that's why we 2 brothers mah. same same.

then we continued walking around before going to some shop. forgot the name.

ky: how much u think this pants cost?
me: $60.
ky: no, $70.
me: wtf. ex arh.
ky: yah lah. this white pants i have cost $70 also. bought it on chinese new year's eve.
justin: there's 20% off today leh.
ky: how u know?
justin: there's a sign at the entrance.
ky: wtf!
me: hahahahahahaha! laugh at me somemore lah. same fate.

went citylink num to buy myself a pair of brazilian praia. the one justin wanted was out of stock and was only available at the cathay. time check at that point was 9.30, so he went in to inquire what time does the shop at the cathay closes. 1am sia. so went down to the cathay with him to buy his pairs and walked to sim lim square to take bus 23 back to tampines interchange.

on the way to sim lim, ky asked me this question.

ky: jem, why i no gf?
me: cause we brothers, have qian da face, so forget it lah, this year valentine, u and me again.

hahahahaha. anyway, a fucking banglah scared the shit out of ky and me when we were walking pass laselle. there's this gap between the walls and we were walking pass it, coincidentally, the both of us were looking across this gap and saw the fucking banglah, almost faint sia.

justin alighted at bedok so it's ky and me all the way to tampines, went to burnt mac to slack for awhile before going home.

nice day out i should say. looking forward to tuesday sia. better pass ur driving test arh ky. then we go slack.
