and finally, the olympic is over. less distractions so that i can study? u can say so. but fuck, tml's ob and marketing. really nice time for olympic huh?

distractions aside. olympic is real nice to watch. freaking hell lots of new world record. nice!

anyway, due to the weather, i didn't go running and bballing for the past few days. well, olympic and studying played a part too i should say. but nvm, after tml, more or less back on track.

for olympic bball men's gold medal match. it was quite exciting eh. dwayne wade carried the team off the bench during the first half when kobe and lebron were in foul troubles and kobe sort up stepped up and sealed the deal when the game was on the line during the closing minutes. score? 118-107. a mere 11 points lead.

photos from the games against argentina and spain.

an alley oop. link.

nice photo man. its carmelo anthony shooting over louis scola of argentina. link.

this guy ricky rubio is only 17 years old and he's already playing in the olympic. he's a prospective 1st draft pick for next year's nba draft. envy him man! link.

enough of olympic. lets plan for tml. first thing first. i can't slp at 12am eh. too used to slp-ing at 2 or 3am. and fuck, i have a paper at 9.30 in the morning. hahahahaha. nice one.

as for the 7 hours break. think i'll be going home bah. get some extra slp and then go back down. nice plan? maybe.

thats all bah.

ok. this sucks. i seriously need to stop watching olympics and one piece. oh yah, that goes for psp too. been slacking too much to study much. progress was pretty ok. down with marketing and tml onwards, ob.

still on schedule, but i doubt half of what i studied went in. but then again, maybe more than half of what i studied went in. hahahaha. but nvm, i'm a fast absorber. that'll help i guess.

went bballing on monday on my own again. same old shooting routine. nth much.

usa is in the basketball men's semi finals. they smoked australia despite having some troubles in the first quarter, ending it with only a 2 point lead. kobe scored a game high 25 points. sweet dude!

some photos next.

kobe drives against germany. link.

after hitting one of his three points against germany. link.

nice one. he forced his defender to leave the ground, drive from the baseline and posterised the aussies. link.

ok. better study now slacker. get ur ass up and study, ass hole.

i can't sleep. sad case. anyway, thanks to samuel ytd for telling that there's usa vs greece match on channel 5. knowing the results was fine but watching the game was awesome. hahahahaha.

well, highlight reel for the game was provided by kobe, lebron and wade. not at all surprising. but it was jason kidd who caught my attention for some plays. he wasn't as good in scoring as the other 2 point guards for usa, chris paul and deron williams. but i can say he's way better in passing and more knowledgeable than the 2 of them. his one hand bounce pass to kobe was woohoohoo. passed it more than half way up the court and directly infront of kobe for a perfect slam dunk in such a swift movement.

captain for team usa i think and hasn't lost in any international games in his life. thats a great achievement man. wonder why he hasn't won a nba championship ring. lousy teammates? maybe.

captain for team usa, i think.

team usa aside. went to sch for like a record breaking 35 minutes of tutorial. was quite sianned when lesson ended. 67 cents gone for nth. hahahaha. slacked in sch, accompany kang jie and deirdre to photocopy their stuff, silicon lab and 10 minutes walk home.

went bballing. spent most of my time training up my shooting. was talking to peng jie the other day and asked him how to train on shooting. start from directly under the rim, shoot until u have 20 shots in, take one step back, continue this until u reached the spot u want. sounds reasonable. so i used that method and trained all the way until behind the 3 point line. time taken? 1 hour plus. atfer that, trained abit on my driving. its been deteriorating since i started to focus on my shooting.

played 2 on 2 with some guys for 3 sets. won 1 and lose 2. too bad. my teammate for the second and third set sucks to the core. defense sucks totally. don't want jump, don't want run and don't know how to defend. maybe its my fault too huh? but not bad, my stamina show signs of improvement since i lasted 3 straight games doing all the scoring, rebounding and defending. =)

game 2 was the most ai wan. practically carried my side on scoring and defending and lost 10-11. of the 10 points, i got 9. sad sad sia.

ok lah. this is getting boring. everyday talk about bball. i think everyone sianned of it already. hahahahaha.

back. sch's been slack these few days. there's like only revision lectures and so on. so its like 2 hours in sch daily. didn't went sch ytd. waste of time, money and energy. lol.

hmmmm. went running ytd. didn't run really fast. had trouble breathing and my knee wasn't reacting correctly. most prob due to the bball session on monday.

team usa had a 3-0 record for olympic currently. pretty nice result for the redeem team. as for kobe bryant. hmmmm, i think he was off for the first 2 games. if not, i think i'm absolutely capable of entering nba. lol! wanna know why? for the first two games, he had a total score of only 21 points, shooting 10/27 from the field and 1/15 from 3 point range. thats like pure jeremy lim style to shoot that lousy. hahahaha.

but for today, he showed us why he's the current nba regular season mvp by being one of the two top scorer for usa when they were in trouble against greece. lol. i think he only performs when usa is in deep shit. enough of typing. photos for now.

ok, enough of kobe bryant and the olympic. but thats all i have to say for today. lol.
