Whey Hey!
Today was our first match which was against First Toa Payoh Sec. The coach asked us to score at least 50 points, which we managed to achieve. The final score was 65-16! Not bad huh? But i think it can only get tougher from now on. I played ok today, but made a very very stupid error, and travelled. Damnit. All my points came from shooting free throws, which goes to show that the 'jump in and draw foul' method actually works.

We learnt something new today, carpe diem, which means seize the day. It is not pronounced as kopi tiam, or carp them but carpay deeyam. I think its pretty cool a phrase, as we won't be young forever. Try studying hard and working your butt off now, then you will be trying to play basketball at, like, 60? No way man, at 60 i plan to be a bald grumpy old man who lives off his pension, spending his days playing mahjong and remiscing about playing basketball when he was young. And by 65, i plan to be dead.
