Welcome to my world
Enjoy your stay

Woke up to an early morning today. At least the moist, refreshing air was something to counter the much dreaded effects of sleeping late and waking early.Had to spend 5 minutes sitting down to plan my schedule for the day, in fact. But that's not the point.
Basketball games like the one this morning are something me and my group of friends do very often, although I've never thought of blogging about it, until now.
The immense fun and laughter brought me to realisation that every basketball session on Saturday was something I'd always looked forward to. Today, I surprised myself by agreeing to going for basketball despite having a horrendous sore throat which made my voice barely able to go above a C key, and a nose so runny and that a long, hard sniff had to be done every 5 minutes.
Cutting to the chase, I just wanna thank Chang Rong, Ivan, Shao Qiang, Shao Hua, and Wei Sheng for being such loyal companions over the years. Sticking with me through CCA, outings, serious talks, or even idle chat.
Wei Sheng! Looks over. Snap. Get him onto a sports magazine please.
Take aim, Shao Hua, and take care. I'm right behind you. Nice ass, by the way.
One-V-One solo duel. Fancy footwork.
No, I'm not giving you the ball. Let's negotiate.
And shoot. Now wait and see if Chang Rong can get that large mass of his off the ground.
Shao Qiang trying to imitate the process of laying an egg. With a basketball.Please, try not to attempt this kind of silly things next time when you see a mobile phone in my hands, a mobile phone which is camera-enabled.
For me, times like these are times when it's ok for me to slip up, act stupid, spit out lame jokes, and best of all, do what we boys do best. We cuss around. It can be so much relaxing among them, we accept each other for who we are.
Right, next then.
After barely 2 hours of rest, shower, and lunch, it's off to Chang Rong's house for... a Chinese New Year Visit, most probably. Hey, it IS a Chinese New Year visit, I did bring my mandarins and gave my good wishes. We received ang paos as well. It is very obvious.
Isn't it a Chinese New Year visit? Of course.Well, anyone wants some FredTrivia here? Look closely, because in this picture you get to see Frederick in some of the body language which you will never get to see him executing in class.
You cannot believe his enthusiasm when it comes to this.
Played 4 rounds of 'Big 2'. Frederick and I won 2 rounds each. Sadly enough, winner has to take off his pants. Currently I owe them 2 pants-dropping.
On the right of the picture, I think you can almost read it out from Wei Sheng's face, "Argh, I'm suffering heavy losses..."
Went on the play Texas Hol'em Poker next. First time playing, but picked it up considerably quickly, since it has numerous similarities with Big 2. To my regrets, I had to leave the game early in order to attend Ke Xin's New Year Steamboat Party.
Thank you, Ke Xin, for treating me to such an enjoyable meal. It has been utmostly delectable, and I'm not just referring to the food, but also towards the conversations we had. Despite not being in close contact ever since Secondary 2, I'm really thankful for still being your friend, and I apologise for the isolation.
I lost quite a bit at your house, by the way. I won't forget that. ;)
Right, and so here I am, blogging after a busy day. Recalling and reminding myself of life's many joys I have in possession.
When one is down, thoughts of depression and distance spring to mind. These crucial moments are the times in which we most need the aid from others, but yet we involuntarily try to shift away from them in a bid to hide the dripping wounds in our hearts.
Inability to summon up sweet and reviving memories is the worst punishment anyone could ever receive.
