I just came back from the basketball b div at fengshan, me, phil and bert went to take a last look cos itll be our last time since the tournament will progress to the zone finals which is not there anymore. The game btw dunman high and SAC ended 35-17 in dunman's favour. I think it was right, since Dunman, from the start looked by far the hungrier of the two.They pulled down rebounds, and their playuers were physically much bigger than SAC. Their no. 11 was really good an impressed me, but the player who caught my eye was the DHS no. 4, whose movement was brilliant, highlight for me had to be her tipping the ball over an oncoming player and following it up with a superb reverse lay-up.

SAC was unfortunately not having too much luck with the free-throws, they were also not really jumping on the rebounds, whci resulted in many possessions for DHS. Haha, adle (horse! finally found out wat her name is thanx to phil) played hard as always, but was not finishing off too well, missed a few lay-ups, and even kena one technical for a flagrant foul, ouch very rarely see in girls basket ball. Cheryl played a bit, but could see was getting pretty down, cos she wasnt realli making the free throws. When the game ended, me and Phil took a pic for memories sake, god knows when we will be here again, maybe next year? For one match? Maybe lar for old time sake. I think this time next year amidst the hustle and bustle of Dhoby Ghaut and SMU, i will be thinking of this quaint neighbourhood called Bedok, where I grew up in, and Fengshan CC, where I got my first taste of proper school.

Anyways I was talking about how when you watch sports, you tend to associate yourself to certain people, cos of the similarities that exist btw yourselves. haha, come to realise it me and horse a bit the same lar, both run like headless chicken, will work hard, but can lose our temper when the chips are down. Im not surprised I have these qualities, but to see it in a girl is weird in a good way. Nonetheless, I feel sad for the SAC players since their tournament ended, I think it realli sux when u put in so much effort only for something to end prematurely for yourself. Thank god, it has yet to happen to me, god knows how I will react if something like dat would happen.

I miss school sports, seeing the DHS people cheer for their school in this do-or-die match was realli heartening. I think cheering for your school is a brilliant feeling, and the rush one gets when their schools scores is unbelievable. Last week, went to watch SMU floorball, and I was the only guy at the other side celebrating the goals. But it felt good, cos SMU is gonna be my uni! ....no pun intended....

Anyways, I guess today was it for the moo0men and basketball @ fengshan, from now on, the only basketball were gonna get is on tv or playing it ourselves.

Out.
