the KL trip was really fun! i repeat .. REALLY REALLY FUN.so ya, at first i didnt even feel lyk going but i guess i was just being pess. The trip there and back was a drag, trust me you all should be thankfully that you just need to travel like 30 minutes to an hour to get to school. dere is like, to get to the city u need to travel 1 hour? and if dere's heavy traffic, it would make things worst. Further more, the guys that we played against at the sports school dere (bukit jalan sports school: school for champions), some of them stay in JB, some at selangoor and other parts of malaysia? imagine how do they get to school? thankfully they stay at the hostel dere, but hey. When they wanna go back to sch say from a holiday break, they need to wake up the day before and travel all the way there. And singaporeans complain that the MRT is slow some times! -slap forehead-
So ya, we did lose both our matches but we played well on our part. We went there with the expectation to learn something from all the experiences that was presented to us. And i guess we can say we played quite well? just that when we start off, we often start off shaky, thus affecting our game alot. haha, our first match we played against the under-16 malaysia national team! shrugs, we lost by 2 points! Yet again, darn why do we always lose by 2 points! haha, but aniway we played quite well, we passed the ball around alot, made their defence move and tried to find the open man often. WE did try like other full court tactics and half court tactics! dey were that successs but den again itz the first time we're using it, so who is to be blamed. haha, anyway i think i scored lyk 16 points, cant really remember very well but it was quite abit of points! pretty happy for myself considering i came off the bench! haha, and yes! After that i had to go sprain my ankle while playing 4on4 with the guys. Darn shit la me, injured myself den i couldn't play against the national under-19 team! Arghhh, they call themselves the BJ eagles (sounds vuglar??) haha, they were freaking good la!, i think their point guard is very stable and has fantastic vision, gotta strive to reach his standard. His team mates trust his passing and his scoring ability is really good. shrugs, and to add to that, they all look like 20+ years old? while they are onli lyk my age? man, inhuman i tell u. We lost by 40 points, but we did learn from that, we managed to counter their full court press pretty well, just that at some points in time everyone was getting frustrated and some lost their temper. Oh well, im gulity of that too, especially when my coach scolds me, and itz times like that when i just wanna walk off the court. Oh well, this trip really made us learn like, our weakness on the court, our strengths too. It also helped us to understand our team mates better, trusting them more and working together as a team. Guess this trip really boasted the basketball IG's Morale! hopefully we can sustain this under IVP. This year we aint gonna get trashed. :) I've gotta congra. the female team too! true enuff they were outclassed by the better selangoor state team, and yes they did get trashed. But they didnt give up, and i really hope thru' this trip they'll get bonded closer to each other and strive for greater heights during the IVP matches. Alrite, you all can do it ya? you all got the full support of the guys team! :)
Dat was pretty much my trip to KL. The place i stayed was a hostel at the commonwealth village, it was were the commonweath games was held, back in 2000. nice place, it's really quiet as compared to the buzzing city of KL and that of singapore. Life's like pretty slow dere, and ya true! dere isnt much to do la, but it sure was a nice place. Peaceful and stuff? wonder if there's such a place in singapore? maybe bukit timah hill? -slap forehead- oh well ...
