Yet another unofficial blogging! ^o*

Actually, i wanted to blog this yesterday one but forgot about it. Yesterday in the afternoon went to play basketball. So den got a few kids and den this youngster and an uncle dropped by. So they wanted to play a match, 4 on 4. Den kinda of unfair. The other team got the uncle, the youngster and 2 kids which can play quite decently. My team got me and another youngster and 2 kids who can't play quite decently. Alamak! Haha! But for fun still play! Den somemore play full courts. NEarly died. My team only me and the other youngster can play pretty well! The other team rite, the uncle super accruate. Every shot all 'chop' one. My goodness. No mattter how you mark, he sure can get the ball in. Actually wanted to play hard defense with him one lah but den decide not to since it's a friendly game. First game, lost 15-10. I tot it was not too bad since my team's headcount is like 2 and 1/2. Dun ask me how i have 1/2 a head. Actually the 1/2 head is quite kind in words alreadi. So den play 2nd match. Totally, lost out. Lost 11-4. Dun mind losing lah! In fact, i think i work out alot. Running up and down the court. Den while resting, that uncle came and chat with me. Den he really talk alot. He started saying that his shotting very accurate, the more you mark him, the more he become 'hot' and accurate. I just smile back at him and acknowledged his fine performance. Den he said that he was an ex-national basketball player. Den somehow or rather, he gave me a 'history' lesson. Started talking about his past den saying how good he is and this and tat. Actually I was a bit annoyed, not so much with his talking but rather his 'boasting'. For the benefit of doubt, i believe every single word he said but his pride really getting over him man. I purposely told him i knew an uncle who was an ex-national basketball and about his age. I told him the uncle's name and den he hesistated a while and reply saying, " yah..... I know him." Den quickly he changed that subject and started rattling off about his past. Erhh!! Honestly, it's such a pity. He was really very good, in fact this is an understatement, he was a genius but den his pride is such annoying factor. Can't he just be humble! What a waste of talent! Thkfully I'm not very good in anything so there's nothing i can boast about myself. But in everything that i do, I give thks to God for His guidance. Praise be to God.
