Tong whye 2009

In case i haven’t been talking about my basketball life , here’s one long post about basketball  . Upon arriving singapore after the Taiwan / Hong kong trip , i returned straight to Tong whye training , and all this while , no matter how worn out i was , i never fail to attend every single training as well as putting in my 100 % effort during trainings .  Haven’t been able to play well because my ankle was hurting . And i realise my penetrating speed has become way more slower , everything just become so strange after not playing for 2 and the half months straight . Everynight while i was showering , i kept trying to do Toe raise to strengthen my ankle but the hurting just gets stronger & stronger , hope i had a picture of how swollen my ankle was after i sprained it .Anyway life is cruel , so when you’re not above other players , they look at you as if you ain’t nothing , and when you get better than them , they start to act friendly and poh your lam pa .

After all this training i’ve attended , i decided to skip the final selection , joke huh . Everyone kept asking me to go , but instead i attended jj’s graduation ceremony . Somehow i didn’t regret my decision . I’ve lost my passion . Not my passion for basketball , but the passion for tong whye , the place i’m training right now , the people i’m training with right now , felt so different . Basketball is a team game . So why am i even playing in a club where i felt like i have no teammates . I use to go for jogs myself at night , gym myself , swimming myself to bring up my game , somehow right now , i’ve been just saying , i couldn’t find a reason , a reason to let me work harder , instead i’ve loads of reason for me to not play .  I’ve my Primary school clique , Ngee ann bball mates, Osiris GLs who care about me much more than my teammates do , i have my studies where i wanna do well for this semester , and i have my most caring family whom i always ps them because of my endless trainings . So that marks the end for my youth cup life ? Don’t know if i’l still be playing bball then . But one thing i’m certain is i’l train really hard to get into Team NP  . This i’m certain and i’l work hard towards it .

For now i’l just take a break , Study hard and play hard! It’s Kelvin’s 21st birthday ,   so we decided to head to club @ Phuture . Just wanna wish you Happy 21st birthday again and thank you so much for being such a good friend , and thank you for all the memories !
