Along with the CIS basketball players, we represented our unit to play in the basketball game for the Games Day. There were Alvinder, Max, Kevin, Jun Xiang, Nigel, Eric, Stanley, Chua and Elvin in the team. We didn't start off well probably because its the first match and we couldn't get our momentum yet. The second match was better, managed to get our momentum liao, managed to thrash them 18 to 7. However, my shooting was totally off today. The ball was always bouncing away from the ring. Yet, they kept encouraging me to carry on to take more shots and had no intention to drop me out. Not even for the semi-finals. There were many supporters from my unit watching the semi-finals. The score remained at 0-0 for quite some time before i broke the egg for my team by driving into the bottom of the ring and doing a reverse. Everyone applauded and cheered DAMN loudly for that shot. The feeling was great!! So shiok man! Just when i thought my form is back, my legs were weird. My thighs were on the verge of having cramps. Tried to do some stretching now and then to prevent it from getting worse. Managed to last till full time, but we ended with a draw. No choice, i had to be substituted out liao. The long hours of playing were wearing me out. Eventually, we ended up losing by 1 ball. Haiz...feel so sad. We could have gotten into the finals. Everyone of us fought hard for it, but maybe not hard enough? I don't know. Just so sad, sad, sad =(
