Once in a four years post!!!
Leap year day, or whatever it is called, is finally here. Today is February 29 of 2008. We have to wait till 2012 for the leap year again. But nothing much for me today. Sad case.
In order to make my life more exciting, I decided to go to Borders and Queenstown Shopping Centre today. Initially I was lost at Orchard, I walked in one big circle and finally arrived at Borders. Very few people there. Went to the music section. Stalled around for a while but I didn't buy anything. No great electric guitar books for me to buy.
So I decided to move on to Queenstown Shopping Centre. On my way back to the MRT station, got one lady keep using her umbrella to poke me as she walked behind me. I never say anything but she still looked at me. Siiao one. Poke others still look at me like my fault like this.
When I reach Queenstown MRT station lost my way again. First time there. All HDB flats around me. Then I have to take bus there. The shopping mall like Sim Lim Square, except it got air con. Got a lot of shoe shops there. I wonder how they survive in the fierce competition. Got some shops with nobody in there. So sad man. I pity them okays. It is not easy to make a living, especially when you are running a business. Most likely they will lose money and close down their shop. It is a way of life I guess.
Well happy leap year. Hahas.
By the way basketball shoes there also cost about $200 plus, not much difference. No point running so far.

CCTs are over.
The class tests are finally over. 2 weeks of torture, 2 weeks of hard work revising and trying to memorise. It is finally over. But I will be away in Malaysia for one week. Will miss Singapore.
Today quite happy because my knee finally healed itself. I hurt my knee on Tuesday and it was like damn pain. Continued PE yesterday and it became even more pain. But this morning I woke up and practically all the pain was gone. Quite happy because I want to play basketball.
Tomorrow I'm going to look at basketball shoes because I always have nothing to do on Fridays. Check up the prices and see if I can afford them. Of course I'm going to wait till my current shoes have spoiled then I buy new ones. My current shoes are losing their grip. But good shoes are super expensive. Heart break. Now very poor.

Bought new ball
Finally bought a new basketball. It is a hybrid of leather and rubber. Didn't buy the full leather because it will just get damaged when we play it on the street.
The ball costs like $49. It is Spalding. Damn cool, got the words endorsed by the NBA on the ball. Then the grip quite nice too. Hope it will last for at least one year. Then I have to buy a basketball again. Lols.
I hope got play basketball tomorrow. Because my whole cohort going to Malaysia the week after. I damn sad because in my group I don't know anybody. How? Lols. Die le.

Intensive training
Today is one of my most intensive leg training throughout my life. Did countless hundreds of various exercises that include plyometrics and bodyweight training. As I don't have access to weights room, so have to depend on bodyweight to train my leg strength.
I finished off with 200 squats. How's that? Tomorrow still playing basketball. I hope my legs can do it. Normally the legs don't feel anything at first. Then it will feel damn tired the next day. But after it finish recovering the legs will feel damn strong. It's very effective.

Busy Sec2 Year
All right, school's really busy right now. I don't have much time for anything else, so I guess I cannot play so much. Studying sucks.
Waiting for Inter house basketball competition eagerly. It's going to be a good test of my skill. I have another 6 months to practise, so I hope I can play well. My house is really weak in sports, so I hope I can do something.
Doing a vertical jump program to improve my vertical jumping height, so as to play better in basketball and rebound more.
Have to memorise my script for tomorrow's Oral Communication now. Byes.

CNY is lame
Chinese New Year is lame. Come on, we kids have nothing to do there. All we do is sit there quietly, greet some unknown relatives, then take a drink and sleep while our dear parents talk on and on about their current lives, children and such. Sure, we do take our red packets, but come on, in reality it is just a trade of cash. Most likely if everyone is not too generous or stingy then we will get $2 for every packet obtained. If every parent has two children, then the amount at the end will be likely the same. There is no profit nor loss.
If I were an adult and is married, then I will add 10 cents to every red packet that I give out. That way, most likely the children and parents will be amused when they open my red packet because only I will do that.
Did not go visiting today. I woke up too late at 12pm and all my uncles were like there already, and my mother did not want to call them to come and fetch us, so we did not go visit anyone at all. Instead, we went out to watch CJ7. It is okay, nothing much, except have a lot of people surprisingly. Sat so near to the screen, lucky never dizzy. Lols.
