unfair
I felt unfair when I was watching Ngee Ann's match against Temasek. Although we were rooting for Temasek to win since we required a tiny weeny triangle to get into the semi finals, I felt a kind of old old feeling again. unfair
UNFAIRNESS.
Basketball is supposed to be a game of skill and ability, and the sports hall is supposed to be filled with audience's cheerings after a good ball is shot. Instead, ex-jiaolian's voice and some other ngee ann's supporters' jeering of the unfair referring filled the entire Anglican sports hall.
From a win of about 11 points after the first quarter to losing about 8 points, I think it must have felt shitty. 3 players were fouled out, till ex-jiaolian had to think for quite some time when she was scanning the players.
But she persevered I suppose, although the screaming stopped during the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter. According to Priscilla and jiaolian, they gonna go complain to the basketball association of singapore. LOLS. and get the damn referee sacked.
And ohwell, I thought it was quite hypocritical to support both sides throughout the match? Cos we wanted temasek to win, but not of more than 9 points, so there was a point of time when Temasek won NAS by about 11 points, then we were hoping that NAS got their freethrows in -.-
Then the teachers screamed and stuff so I thought it was hypocritical and NAS supporters were staring at us. SIGH.
Then it was DHS against dunman sec. It's so weird when you have schools with the same name playing against each other. We had to go like "Dunman High, jiayouu!" instead of 德明,加油! Sounds so awkward but well, the guys played a good game. Calvin is really a good player, he's like so awesome, being able to do what coach taught him to just a few hours ago. Priscilla even thought he was year 2 -.-
Didn't really pay attention to the first 2 quarters as I was busy catching up with Ru Huan and Priscilla, but I knew the guys were leading at first before Dunman Sec caught up. Found out that Ru Huan is capt while Ying Ying is vice-capt. Then when I told them that our nanchiau team would have like 3 capts altogether, Priscilla was like "HAHA, 我什么都不是,只是一个小小的 center 而已!" Yah, 小小 man! She's the same height as me, how small can that be? o.O
I was having fun poking her orh-ceh. It's uber black and painful I suppose. But she got her revenge back after tickling me, roar. I CAN'T BELIEVE IM STILL SCARED OF TICKLES. It just gives you a shivering weird feeling.
Played ALOT of basketball today. It's fun playing basketball when you're not training, whereby there's no expectations and no yells in wrong passes and mis-shots except that you have to deal with your own disappointment and wonder whatthehell is happening to you. Played basketball during PE, recess and after school. (: Thanks sylvia, for reviving my love for basketball again. I thought I was so disappointed in my basketball skills that I wouldn't wanna play again. Turned out that it made me feel carefree again.
When you're in the middle of the whole court, no, just half the court, with a ball, and you do backturns, crossovers and do both side layups, you feel different. The satisfaction is definitely different from anything you get, high scores, praises from parents, beating the opponent in a computer game, everything. Even if you don't get the shot in, if the shot was somewhere near the net and you know you get it in, there's always a second chance. When you miss the left hand layup for some reason somehow, you know you can forgive yourself for just that second because no one's looking. However, basketball wouldn't be called basketball if it was just like that. I have come to terms with that. FINALLY.
I have to run for the darn cross-country thing. I'm so not running if nobody runs with me D: I hate running. I hate simply running like that.
no training tomorrow. maths and science project tomorrow. D: Teri, SIngrue and Yvon are coming to my house. WHen they were arguing over where they should go, I immediately proposed to come to my house since I was lazy to move my ass and travel on some train for like 1 and a half hours to and fro each trip.
Gonna turn in. And geez, I think the PG show on CHannel U isn't that nice after all. I thought there was finally some good show that Singapore is producing but I realised that the show isn't really realistic. Who would go consult a cosmetic surgeon if he had numerous failed attempts on beautifying the woman?
Beach Ball babes is quite ok though. Although I think the takes are a bit fake. OHH, and I have to have to say this man. When I watched the behind-the-scenes of the show on TEEVEE (i wonder why they broadcasted it), I came to know that Joanne Peh had to act as twins so there was alot of work done. Then I was thinking "WOW, that would take such a long timeee. That's so cool".
Then when I watched today's show, which is like the 10th episode, Joanne Peh's twin died. How fast. I was telling my dad that they were probably tired and decided to write off the character but can't make her disappear just like that or give a lame reason that she going overseas and not coming back, SOO, they go for the easy way. make her die. -.-!
Would stories always be like this?
