back to blog again. went jogging around my estate just now. jogged for about 5 to 6 km.not bad. its good.

i finally understand what optimus kwadon meant. jogging all by urself gives u a really great feeling. u feel peaceful deep down inside despite the scorching sun, perspiring body and palpitating heart. it really seems like u are in the world of ur own where everything had faded into oblivion and there is no worries, troubles, conflicts and so on. its just u, the jogging route and the music blasting in ur ears. u seems to enjoy every moment eventhough ur strength is leaking away every instances.

u may be wondering. what in the world happened to jeremy lim to make him go jogging? well, i wanna train up my stamina once again. i think my current stamina is around my sec 2 standard which i assume to be somewhere in between fast and slow. reason for training up my stamina? well, its not that i wanna be a commado. i don't think i will have as high a chance to get in as compared to the many dragonbaoters out there.

i train basically for the sake of bball. i've been thinking, how can i call myself a good player when i only last for just half of a match? be it the starting half or the later half. how can we call ourselves a good team when we are only productive for 10 minutes and after that, the chances of winning just get slimmer and slimmer as time passes by? seriously. think about it. what good can i do when i manage to help the team get a huge lead at the start but don't have the stamina to help protect the lead? what good can i do when i can only play to my full potential near the ending just to try and decide the game? wouldn't it be better if i can play my full potential throughout of the game so i don't need to bet the game at the end by trying to turn the game around?

usually for me, i'll try to turn the table around by focusing fully during the crucial timing and very often, the scores are damn close. sure, it certainly feels better to turn the table around and win. its thrilling too. but still, this can't be always be how we play games. if we have better stamina, then we can play to our fulllest potential right from the start, ain't that way better? i certainly think its so.

all of the above is just how i think. better stamina means a even better player, now just in terms of skills but in athleticism. now, let me introduce my 4 different styles of playing bball.

1st style. tired mode. as the name stated, i'm playing when i'm deprived of slp. in this mode, i don't drive, just shoot and pass. very little effort being put in on defence and rebounding. and amazingly, my shooting is exceptionally accurate in this mode.

2nd style. relaxed mode. just playing casually with no desire of winning. in this mode, i only use simple lay ups as my main offense and pass more than i attack as i think that i should let my teammates train up and gain experience. enough effort is put in on defense and i normally let my teammates do the rebounding. shooting accuracy is worse in this mode.

3rd style. normal mode. the most commonly used. in this mode, i'm very team oriented. the points scored and assists are around the same. whether i attack or pass depends on the situation. will always find the best solution to score and that is through the open man. if there's no open man, i will try to create the opportunity by attracting the defense. in my term, attracting the defense means attacking and making the opponents focus their defense on me. with this, i can create opportunities for my teammates to score. also, i will play effective defense and join in the rebounding job. shooting wise, its still weak.

4th and final style. the so called trance mode or seed break mode. in this mode, i attack the rim with all my fancy, high percentage lay ups and only pass when i am really at my wit's end. this mode is only activated when my team is losing by a large gap and the game is about to be decided. defensively wise, i'm capable of shutting opponents down and give out more blocks than usual. i will also try my best to get all the rebounds. shooting wise, its so so although there will be times where i will knock down several 3 points in a role. also, this mode depletes my stamina and energy very fast so this is y i only activate it when we are in crisis.

enough of jiao wei liao. lol. gonna slp now. still got sch tml. anyway, its good news that sir can do 9 chin ups liao. wondering if i'm still stuck at 13 to 14 only or have i improved?
