There is this group of friends that probably shaped my life.I grew up with them and we spent almost every single day playing basketball. We have "training" every Saturday morning and we created a "team" for ourselves with full sets of jerseys. Erm, that was the "in" thing during that time. Honestly, we were not very bad. hahahaha
The main thing was that due to the long hours I spent playing basketball and my dislike for studies, i failed my exams terribly. That explained why i needed to spend 5years in secondary school instead of 4. However, i did not regret a single bit.
This group of friends taught me alot of things and you could say, they "brought" me up. I learnt to see things at a different angle and i learnt to fight to my death for basketball.We used to join small basketball competitions and i can say i never once failed to give my best. I had no fear for anyone and although i am not the best technically, i could say i was the best in guts. Actually, I have a very strong will to win during competitions but sadly, i do not have a platform to show it and i never will.
Whatever it is, most of us had moved on with life and the basketball court had been renovated. It is so freaking uncomfortable now and the past can never be revived.The basketball court will have a place in my heart forever and i will always remember the friends and memories it had brought me.
Moving on with life, recently we(sec sch friends) have been playing with the uncles at the basketball court at Block 346. Sorry no picture for this and they think we are good children and we fit in almost perfectly with them.
It's a good thing, we do not need to worry when playing with them because they are not hooligans and they are nice people. So every Tuesday and Thursday night, we got a chance to sweat it out. After the basketball session, some of us will have sort of a chatting session with some of the uncles and some advices they gave, are truly useful.It's fate to have met them and 1 thing i learnt today was to WITHSTAND or BEAR.Just always look at the more positive side of life and you will find the meaning of it.Always try to "看开" and you will find that life is better. I couldn't agree much more with this.
I just realised, there are people around me who know what am i all about and believed in me.
