1st Match Coming Up...

Went for basketball training after work yesterday. During the debrief, Terence talked a bit about our upcoming match versus hall 4. He would be going overseas and won’t be playing that match, and according to what he said, hall 10 had never won a single match without him. Yong Cai and Hai Tao would be attending IVP training and may not be able to play too. Even if they play, they would be too exhausted to give their best.

Kai Yuen, John, Weiyong, Zhan Peng and me would be the starting line-up and Terence stresses that our fate depends on the shooters in our team for this match. And that makes me very important for this match because “ah-hem” I am one of the best shooters in the team (shooting’s my only forte, I suck at everything else). Terence expects me to get about 20 points, including approximately 5 three-pointers. Imagine our team with a final score of about 50 points, 20 points would be near half our total points!

Initially I aim to score about 12-15 points, which I think is highly possible to obtain. But after what Terence had said, I now aim to score 20 points or more. Looking forward to the match. Its gonna be My Play Time.

Watched “Superhost” last night in Secksen’s room. Lee Teng’s performance was quite good and his points for his performance landed him in the 4th position. Normally I dun vote for such contests but last night I voted for him.

To my surprise, after the show ended, I received a phone call telling me I’ve been picked to come up with a question to ask one of the contestants later at 11.30pm when they announce the results for the telephone and sms voting for the contestants.

Watched the results at 11.30pm and ironically, the contestant who got the lowest points for the performance earlier on (the 17 year-old guy) had the most votes while the one (LuoYi) with the highest points got the least votes. Was very nervous for Lee Teng when they announced the results for the voting one by one. In the end, Lee Teng ranked 7th ! Haiz… Dunno why he has no ‘guan zhong yuan’.

In the end, I was not picked to be the one asking them the question (the chosen audience’s question is much better than mine, that’s why). It was a fight between the 17-year-old and LuoYi to see who gets to stay in the competition. The rest of the contestants and their mentor, Guo Liang, get to vote and decide who to knock out. As expected, all of them except Lee Teng and Guo Liang voted LuoYi out as they view LuoYi as a stronger rival.

I have no idea what was the reason for the organizers to come up with such a voting scheme, as this would end up with the 2 lousiest hosts fighting in the finals. Anyway, I think that its so unfair that LuoYi got voted out in the 1st round. I personally feel that he is quite good (given the fact he got the highest point during the performance) and is considered one of the better looking ones among the contestants, thus it is so unfair to kick him out so soon. The 17-year-old should be the one to go. Haiz, anyway this world is never fair.


LIFE IS SO UNFAIR.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your views on education: You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Hmm... very true...

so many things to write... but i'm too lazy...

Went volleyball training yesterday. Tried serving the ball and spiking the ball at the volleyball court at canteen 2. Halfway through the training i looked at my palm and i realised that my whole hand was swollen! Continued to practise nevertheless. Trained from 2.30pm to about 6pm, was quite tired by then. Never in my whole life had i played so much volleyball.

Was abit fed up last night again because Yong Cai and Seck Sen said they would be going for supper at 10.30pm sharp. I told them i dun trust them but they insist they will go at 10.30pm. In the end they went at 11.51pm. I had wanted to join them if they went at 10.30pm, but 11.51pm was too late for me. Please note that i was only 'abit' fed up because i had expected them to either cancel supper or go quite late. It happened quite a number of times already.

Today kena fierced by Ernest for the second time, due to some misunderstandings. Rushed back hall straight after work only to find that basketball training was cancelled because of too people attending. Originally planned to rush to the NIE court to join them.

Chatted with Vonny on MSN earlier on. First time i actually chatted with her. The last time i chatted with her boyfriend! Even got her hp number, and Yong Cai said he would not pass me any ball during tmr's match if i ask her for her hp number. Hahaa...

Went running for the first time since dunno when. Ran the bus 199 route. Actually tried to jio Vonny to run together but she said she bathed already. To my surprise, i saw Hai Tao at the NIE court secretly practising his 3-pointer. No wonder his shooting is so good! I thought such scenes only happen in comic. Going to train alone only to discover your team-mate also doing training on his own.

Challenged him 3-pointer. We played 11 balls and it ended in a tie. 2nd time 5 balls and he win me 5-0. Nevermind, tmr's match we shall see who scores more.
