been a while

PA got first again - although the games weren't as competitive as first expected but got to play with Mori so I guess it's not that bad afterall. Mori, a patient, descent, polite, passionate, fun person to be around with. A person who has the ability to make others perform better, been a while where I felt the pressure to play my best, what a rush that was...
 
a bday from sausages - had a cake with beer, a few laughs till 2 in the morning....and also....the dinner and scarf and ... been a while since I felt .... that things are so "in place"
 
Just when everything was going rather smooth for me, been lacking some morale in studies after the series of presentations, will need to step bit harder on the acceleration with everything.
Now that there are no more weekly bball....already I can see the fat lurking up from behind on and around my waist again....might need to do something about that....

Experiencing the Facebook frenzy~~~

I've heard about that Facebook is heating up with so many users and that many big players want to buy it, but I wouldn't ever imagine the scale that it has spread around me. I bascially found endless psyc tests and fun applications that you can add, although I knew that they are there in the first place but I didn't quite like the idea of adding them cause it makes everything messy. However, you can compare your result with your friends, making it quite fun and the extend which they went to create these quizes or psyc tests shocked me. It would only take few friends who like to do them and I would get heaps of stuff to play or browse with. The other thing was the photo sharing app, everyone is actually using the app, I have to say, it's the most complete pic viewing app with the ability to blog, no wonder msn space got its ass kicked. You can also tag people on your pic. You can also see what your friends are up to, simaltenously all of them at the same time.
 
The biggest shock would be seeing recent pics of friends overseas, how much they have changed, like me with my short 3cm hair in march......a very very useful to connect everyone together

16 teams, September 08

Dark sky would cover the earth this September spring, the tension of deperation would spread through the air, and the thrist to strive for first shall be grown in each member of the PA. hahahaha, at least that is how I want PAs to prepare.
 
Just got a call from Deliea today regarding to the original planned tournment in November, that it would be held earlier this time round, but the main focus is to get me ready to return the FIRST place trophy back. (yeah, I know, was it necessary to use capital letters?! YES!!!)
There would be a lot more teams this year, the few new ones mentioned were, the Malaysian students, samoans and maori groups from uni. The sound of more black people gets my heart pumping, having dealt with somalians last year, 2 steps from the 3pt line for a finger roll at the basket.
 
During this year's regular practices, I noticed that I lack consistency in quick releases. It has always been a weaker part of my game because I never really played that role before. Well, this time, I want the MVP trophy as well, even if I have to fight it over with my own team mate, T***y!!!
I shall begin my shooting practices again for the games to come.
 
Don't know if Joe would still be healthy enough to play then or even...be in CHCH to play, but I am defitnely grabbing Mori to play with us. It has been so long since I was surround with players I respect so much that I would try to maintain my game every second on the court.

sighs all around me

I am beginning to think if I am really not a good friend or any other roles I may play in. Been running into really sad incidents recently, I really can't grasp the difficulties of showing the same respect to the people who showed theirs for you.  In my case, I would do the best I can to return the favour(if you have to put it that way), or the least try the best to match the standard that you ask of me. All I am bitching about is that, at least have the decency to show the same respect others have shown you. I personally don't see how hard that can be, treat others the way they treat you!
 
When I lend a hand out or show good intentions, I don't expect you to get a small gift for me each time, I would want you to appreciate it and would come to my aid when I need it. Yes, the world is not perfect, there would be many occasions where you want to help but you have other obligations or stuff you may be stuck on, it's ok if you made it clear at the start that you won't be able to help , but if you have given your word to me, you should honor that, becuase I don't take these things lightly and I don't think anyone would.
 
I mean I am not a blood sucking and flesh eating monster, mishappens do happen I know, I screw up too but I would either make it up or prefect the next opportunity you provide me with. Leaving it just like that or still being so careless would be the worst I can imagine, that someone I trust would treat me like that.
 
It would seem childish and resentful if I would draw down the hard line of "I will just treat you how you treated me" everytime you don't appreciate me, but hell that would beat being plain stupid or being looked down upon. Seriously, I have had enough of being treated like a sand bag, whenever needed I would build solid walls but if not I am thrown in the corner of the room.
 
Another thing I don't get is Canterbury gym. You charge students who don't earn full time income $120 for membership and as for full time staff $75. That is a new low for you guys!!!
What the hell does that mean? cause there are bound to be more students so charge more in that pool of fish?!

吐く息

Encountered a customer rep who thought she was a manager, you are there to serve & help people, if you don't like your job, QUIT, if you can't fulfill your job description, QUIT, stop pissing others off

A day in the gm

Looking back now, the first time ever I thought about taking on weights was when Ang was talking to me about how some guys with lots money to treat girls but he uses his body physique, hahahaha....
 
Motivation
  • end of 05 when I saw my brothers' gym result ->50%
  • want more upper body strength for basketball -> 30%
  • want to look better -> 20%

This triumph (still going strong...) started back on 16th of January 2006. Went to gym with Brian and first time to the weights room. Started to try different stuff with him explaining to me which works out what. Working my way up the rack. Now, I have even brought on a few gym mates.

My routine

  • Dumbells
  • bench press for chest, warm up set, 24s
  • 2 sets of 28.5s
  • tilted up bench press for upper chest, 3 sets of 26s
  • sitting upright for shoulders, 3 sets of 23.5s
  • Bar Weight
  • lifting them to chin height for shoulders and triceps, 3 sets of 33.5
  • Bicep Chair
  • lifting bar weight for biceps, 3 sets of 33
  • Dumbells
  • tilted down bench press for lower chest, 3 sets of 23.5s
  • lifting weights off the ground for back, 3 sets of 23.5
  • Bar bench press
  • for upper body muscle growth, 2 sets of 80

In the end, the puffing and numbed arms, not to mention about the soreness the next day, I certainely do not enjoy it, but being able to exhaust myself is a great relieve, mentally and physically. It has become a lifestyle that I have become to really appreciate.(To all the pilots that come along with me, yeah you know who I am talking about)
