Champions

Last two weeks, I decided to take part in the 3 on 3 basketball competition held by the Nottingham University Basketball Club.

I gathered my teammates, and decided to name our team the "Final Year Ballers". Obviously, from the name itself, you'd guess that we were all in our final years.

I thought, since this will be my final year in university, why not take part in these activities as I will definitely miss them in the future.

There were a total of 12 teams who took part in the tourney.
There was even a 3 point shoot out. I only made 4 baskets out of 20. The winner made 5, and he won a club tee.

In the first round, we won 2 games and lost one.
We nearly lost our first match, but thanks to Alex's last 3-pointer before the time was up, we won by a point.
We won the second game, then lost the third one to this group below.
Runner Up - Allstars(didn't know their names); Alex, me and Steve
Turns out that we met them in the finals and won them.
It was tough and exhausting, however we persevered and pushed ourselves to the limit.
Seeing my opponent squatting on the floor, catching his breath, I though we might win this one.

Certificate!!!
In the end, we won them by a few points and emerged champions.
Overall, we all played well and had so much fun.

We were so tired at the end of the day because we were so unfit, thanks to our hectic lifestyles (which will deserve a post by itself, will probably be up next week, maybe next 2 weeks, see how it goes).

Champions!
We divided the loot equally and shared with some of the participants.

I am so glad we won, but of course there still are many areas I have to improve.

I am looking forward to be part of the university team as the next TriCampus Games will be held at the Ningbo campus in China.

That... will be my goal.

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, bac...

Them Housemates

Image
(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que...

Attachments

Total attachments : 2 doc. Click to download NO not those kind of attachments in emails. I hate it. It makes you keep thinking of something(maybe someone?) you have just feeled, watched, smelled or heard. An example, your over-priced handphone that enables you to do almost everything with it, can you leave it aside for one day? Not replying any calls or messages for one whole day? CAN YOU? Or, not checking people statuses and updates on Twitter(i don't tweet) or FACEBOOK! CAN YOU? In the Buddhist context, attachments causes suffering. We keep thinking about that something and we cannot focus on the things we are currently doing, our mind is not at peace, we are in SAMSARA (suffering). For me, i don't know is it only me or what but after reading a book i always have this feeling of attachment. I don't want the story to end, I feel a sense of sadness and regret. I hate this feeling. After watching movies(especially romance), i don't want it to end, i want it t...
