The last stretch

My life has been pretty much revolving around basketball and studies these few days. There were only 3 simple things to do. If you aren't at training, you are probably mugging for one of the damn tests or dozing off cos you can't take the exhaustion.

But what can I say? It feels good.

2 more matches for the quart-finals, the next one this thursday the deciding factor. We can make it, with all the supporters and fighting spirit heh.
Training on labour day - explains why it's LABOUR day right.

It scares me sometimes to know that all this is going to come to an end soon - the WTF look we give each other when coach gets us to do the boring (at least for the centers haha) shooting drills AGAIN; the failed mugging sessions before trainings, those days where 8 rounds round the track was WARM-UP and we just run them without any complaint(I think I became my black colour already dang); the laughter that we don't bother to hide when coach is doing something silly again, like stepping on Rae's foot to get her to pivot properly, and the exasperated i-want-to-murder-someone-right-now-but-i-can't-express-my-anger-so-i-shall-kick-a-ball when we get a simple formation wrong again.... the list is endless but dang, this basketball experience is irreplaceable.

Yeah I would have more time for my studies and all (and aren't my mum glad for it. She's practically counting down to the end of my season), but life would be so lacking. Training used to be the thing to look forward to after a day of boring lectures or simply a bad day. That is not to forget that it doesn't take much to get on my nerves these days.

This gonna come to an end soon, after we get into semi-es and all (yes we will do it!), and I really would have no excuse for mugging lesser than I should already (the pile of work is beckoning at me right now, go away)

Currently addicted to Jason Mraz's I wont Give Up
I need to update my itunes library
and get new earpieces (mine was spoilt AGAIN)
and idk, learn to be nicer? Like stop being so pms-y and not to have my emotions written all over my face all the time.
sounds like a pretty unreachable goal somehow.

Mention about being nice, the talk with my bro got me thinking. To what extent should we be nice to people? like just generally people, not those that you really care about. Be too nice, and your kindness gets trampled upon and people start taking it for granted.
That's what happened to him anyway, so I gave him a lesson on being an asshole. I don't care, if being one means salvaging some pride and getting people to know that you aren't a  pushover, why not. Guess my protective nature comes out pretty quickly huh.

Don't really have much to write now, also cos my writing steam is gone. tada.
Ah, I know the best one. GO DHSBBALL GOO :)

Jason Mraz's I Won't Give Up
Hmmmm...
Hmmmm...
Hmmmm...
Hmmmm...


When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold


And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?


I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up


And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find


'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up


I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake


And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am


I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.


I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)


I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up




This song is appreciated in the non-romantic way anyways.
Yeps, I'm still cynical as usual. (To the extent that I told my mum that she should just pin her hopes on my bro and sis for grandchildren HAHA)
