Enigmatic

Class is getting addicted to basketball lately, played it for the 2nd time this week today. My basketball skills are non existant, haha, any apparent reflexes and stamina are imported over from sports in which i am more inclined to, e.g. badminton and soccer. Became the unofficial 'defender' for my team ( i dont know whats the basketball term for a defender ) since i erm have a high sucess rate of stealing other people's balls ( sounds way wrong ). Scored 2 shots so far in 3 games lol, at least i broke my duck liao. The ball just dont seem to want to go into the hoop. Still prefer soccer though, hopes jh recovers faster and then our class will have an proper stiker and we can return to challenging other people in street soccer. Kudos to basketball though, it wasnt as horrendous as i expected =).

On tuesday me and jh were rotting away during the maths revision lectures and so we discussed our grand schemes to form a street soccer team at the end of the year ( field soccer if we can get enough people, anyone interested? ). Turned into a somewhat crapping session. Here are some of the names we came up with for the team name.
AFC, BFC, 2,4DNPHFC and CFC. Try and guess what they stand for haha. Its very lame. Answers below

[ Alpha football club, Benzene football club ( of which the benzene ring will be our club symbol ), 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine football club, and lastly, chloroflorocarbons ]

Some other lame stuff jh sprouted include some insults regarding weight, e.g. you are so fat you weight looks like my phone number, you are so fat you need to be baptised in an ocean, you are so fat that when you step on the weighing scale, it says one at a time please. ( oook, abit cold, haha, not meant to offend anyone, he quoted those from some radio program. )

Manchester United won the champions league, congrats, but the Los Merengues will be back soon. Slept a grand total of 3 hours last night. According to jh ( why isit him again ), this would most probably be the last champions league final we will be watching, as next year, we'll be in NS so cannot see, unless UEFA decides to move it to a weekend lol, and the season after that singtel would take over the rights. I am so not going to suscribe to it ( my dad wouldnt agree to it too haha ), its crazy paying 100 over bucks for a set-top box and 10 over dollars per month to watch a competition which ur team gets a maximum of 13 matches IF they make it to the finals. It was nerve biting, man utd's goal was nice, the buildup was classy and ronaldo's header was superb. Lampard's had a stroke of luck, but chelsea did dominate the proceedings in the 2nd half, so it can be looked as reward in advance haha. the match dragged on for 3 hours, meaning it was 5.45am by the time i went back to sleep. Could have easily ended up 3-3 or more if both teams had taken their chances. Penalty shootout, i'm neutral and i felt the tension, so fans of either team, i imagine you all will be on the verge of cardiac arrest if you are watching it 'live', but that is teh ufn isnt it ;). GP tomorrow, good luck to all. Dont feel confident this time.

Search yourself, you know its true.

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. - Barbara Kingsolver
