I'm going to experiment with a more effective way of blogging. Every basic post shall now have a few main components; daily happenings, political/social nonsense that you honestly shouldn't bother reading, nba stuff (for me to to seethe about in the future) and err... other personal random stuff.

Ok to start off, here are my overall holiday goals.
1. Grow in My Walk with God
2. Improve in Basketball
3. Improve Drumming, namely double bass playing

sub goals include toppling the Himalayas, churning butter out of an ocean of milk and reaching 50 kg by the end of the year. Please friends, stuff me with food.

The Daily
Yesterday marked the end of O's, and as everyone should know we're rejoicing. I watched Stardust in the evening and had a nice night with the guys. I actually won a few bridge games!!! With my crap hand and all. Henceforth, tuesday night shall be known to me as Bridge Night. It's also the best day to go out because movies are at their cheapest!

As for today, I spent the morning watching some rather boring NBA games, such as Kobe being held to 18 points but that'll come later. I then began my painful journey experiencing the hardships of coordination that will one day seem so stupid and easy. Going to play ball in a bit.

The NBA
Forgive me for this. I know I'm not going to be the next John Hollinger or Maurice Brooks or Rick Kamla but hey I think I can write better about the NBA now than anything local newspapers have written. Today I watched most of the Lakers Spurs game so that's what I'll focus on. Before that, Kings are now 2-5 after another road loss to the Jazz. Boston Celtics remain the only unbeaten team at 6-0. Alright, so basically Spurs blow out the Lakers at home, Kobe scored 18 on 9-19 shooting and no Free throws(I think). Bad news; my fantasy squad with kobe suffers. Good news; my fantasy squad with Parker and Ginobili improve! Oh this poor performance by kobe means Kevin Martin gets a step closer to becoming the leading scorer, but he'll have to get past TMAC who is scoring tons of points but not being a good fantasy player due to other reasons. Portland goes 4-0 at home, Detroit today! LaMarcus Aldridge had better be good fantasy value for me.

Random Personal Stuff
I'm really happy to see God moving in FOB. Just pray hard that we can continue to bond and unite, both on a social and spiritual level. Although he's probably not going to see this, a BIG thank you to Caleb Lim for the tremendous effort he put into these past weeks. It is not easy playing every week, especially drumming (he's probably gonna go deaf a year earlier now). So yes Caleb thank you for covering for me and the rest of the drummers and you deserve a good long break. I'm playing this week!

Alright then hope this post was slightly more substantial than the nonsense I've been putting up over the last few weeks. Year. Whatever. I'm off to go play ball, and hopefully, the rims are going to be changed soon because I really don't like them.
