Went back to school to play abit of bball tdy. Face got sunburnt again. Think tdy nt many pple ard. Plus marilyn sprained a leg while playing with us, so the atmosphere was abit tensed tdy. Hopefully she will be fine by next week. Will support the NJ girls team no matter win or lose. Watched abit of their training tdy. It kinda made me miss training with the basketball team. I think the girls team are more united and bonded plus they celebrate each other's birthday. haha. They celebrated wantian's birthday today after training. Looks quite interesting from afar. Yeah Happy Birthday!

Playing basketball today kinda made me think too. The question what is basketball to me kept ringing in my head today. As i thought through carefully, basketball isn't just a sport to me or just any other alternative outlet for me to keep fit or lose weight although those are somehow important as well. Basketball is intricately linked to my heart. Without basketball, I would not be able to know some many frens in the neighbouring court, pple whom i play randomly with at the NJ basketball court as well as some other pple who brought joy to me. Days without basketball seemed mundane and lifeless. That is y i would occasionally take a one day break each week to go back to school for basketball games as well as catching up with my juniors and bonding through sparring in matches.

Basketball is a lifelong process. It can either make or break u. Due to the rough nature of playing basketball, many pple have fallen short of their target and chose the easier path out which is to give up. Despite all my shortcomings in the game of basketball, my determination to carry on this torch never waiver with time. A quote from the movie coach carter goes " Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyong measure." Indeed basketball helps to unleash my latent potential as well. Through basketball, i discovered more and more about myself as well as the nature of people ard me. Therefore, basketball isn't just a game. It reveals my heart. I'm pretty sure ardent basketball fans will bear the same thoughts as well. Long live basketball!
