"I have passion in a few areas which include studying, playing basketball and piano. First of all, I am not the type who studies the whole day, but I try to strike a balance between work and play, while gaining benefits from both. Basketball has given me freedom on the court. But it also taught me that freedom may not mean that it is good because when you have freedom, you are faced with many choices, like on the basketball court, when you have the ball, what move should you take? To shoot or to pass? Which choice is better? So it has helped me to make choices better by judging the situation and getting information before hand. Whenever I score a point in basketball, it gives me the sense of achievement because I feel that everything I do is worthwhile, and my vision is clear of what I want to achieve. Besides basketball, I have passion in piano as well. You may always see me playing the piano in the school foyer. Despite having heavy workload in year 4, I will always try to make time out for piano, because it is my passion, it is something I will make sacrifices for. In school, I will seize any opportunity I have to practice. Piano is a way of expressing my inners self, and it is also a way to release stress. When I play the piano, I completely indulge in it and it brings me to a new innovation, to a new insight and image of life. Whenever I indulge in music, I tend to feel the music, the mood that the piece creates. To me, piano is something beautiful, it is something that you can be gentler with at times while forceful and precise. Because of my passion in piano, it has trained me to persevere as well. Whenever I practice, I will make sure that each note is precisely played with the correct dynamic. It applies to the same to life as well, when we have made the choice, we play whatever cards we have at hand, and we make the best out of it. " Haha. An excerpt from my portfolio. Career day was cool man. It just motivated me to study even more and even more hard than ever before. Haha think of it, do you want to be someone who leads a meaningless life? or someone who strives to achieve in his field of interest? Haha somehow whenever i imagine next time i have the salary high enough to pay of 5 Lamborghinis at once, i'll just study so hard. It something like investing now, the benefits will just snowball along the way. So what i wanna be next time? That will be difficult to choose, but right now i think i'm setting my mind for straight As, that not only allow me to get into a career of my interest, but it adds honour onto my life. Haha enough said, think about it, are you sure you want to continue to lead your life aimlessly everyday? Today was basketball day! ohman i haven played for so longgg. So today was 6 hours straight. 1pm to 7pm. The reason why i like basketball is because it kinda gives me confidence, no matter what hardships you face in life, basketball is something that you can fall back on, to get that morale boost. Its like in basketball, each shot you take in the match will affect the whole team, and when you are faced with so many choices, which one should i choose? and when the ball gets into the net, it gives me a feeling of satisfaction. Its like you have achieved a goal! And then you think, everything you did was worthwhile. At least in basketball i know how far i want to achieve, and my vision is clear. While in life, there are always things that you have tried, to gain something from it, but it just keeps appearing and disappearing, giving you that kinda false hope and disappointment. At least in basketball, i can see my target, and i'm not restricted. Go Lakers! xD Monday, March 22, 2010 I saw this beautiful sunset outside my house and i captured this picture without thinking. Its just beautiful, makes you rethink whether your life is worthwhile or not, and whether all the things that you do are worth it or not. Haha its like a juxtaposition to my life? I dont know about this picture, it gives me power to move on, because i know on the other side of the earth, there are people looking at the same sunset. There are times when we feel helpless, hopeless, dwell in self despair, but is this gonna help? lastly, i wanna end off with this interesting quote: "God gave ugly people talent so they can feel better. Not all beautiful people can have the attention." Sunday, March 21, 2010 Saturday, March 20, 2010 Hello blogspot! once again, i'm so sorry i've been lagging out like fuhreal, its has almost became a routine for me to blog once a week now, and that's gonna be worst because i have way too many commitments to deal with throughout this week. I found the importance of prioritising things in my life, how to live well and not leaving regrets that haunt you everytime you reminisce. Its like living with a goal and a target, and not flirting days away like a good-for-nothing, seriously. The importance of the issue is to get yourself commitments and find goals, be it near distant ones or future ones, just stick your life to something worth pursuing for. Like mine, Studies, basketball and music, thats my passion in life, and each of those makes my life more worthwhile. I heard a story from an elderly women, that she didn't study when she was young, despite she had the oppotunity to, and by the age of 60 she's still single, relying on subsidies of 300 bucks a month to get through. And from that moment she flashed back her life, everything that occurred in her life, in her one second of heartbeat, she wished so much that she could return to the past, to pursue what she should, instead of slumping in such a pathetic state right now. This story inspired me to mug, professionally. Serious, i think that self improvement is very important in this stage, especially in personal development of character and whatnot. think about it. There are somethings in life that makes you sad when you reminisce, those unanswered questions, unfulfilled promises, so many wonderful memories that you wanna relieve and experience again, and these are the things i find it difficult to get rid of in my life. Maybe i don't dare to move on, but to me passion is always there. Haha when life has gone off track, fall back on music, or basketball, or anything that gives you the boost, athough it may not be effective. There are so many doubts and uncertainities, but why make your life so complicated in the first place? Like a shoe, life may look simple, but behind it lies so many complexities. Monday, March 15, 2010 There's this quote i saw on the news which says, "dreams and fantasies are beautiful, yet so fragile that it shatters when touched by reality" My love and passion may be active or dormant at times, But it never goes extinct, its always there, its eternal. Friday, March 12, 2010 Alright, here comes the March holidays everyone, be prepared (: Time really flies so fast, before i knew it its already mid-march already, and i'm closer to stepping into the society, getting out of my mum's hug and facing real deals and problems alone. Haha but the good thing is, i get to experience all the good stuffs in life, all the tiny moments of sweetness. Yeah you get what i mean :D Man i'm sitting in my room with my shoes on and i'm really tired, i played 4 hours of basketball today! haha but i gave it all and gave my best, because the last place i want to leave any regrets at is at the basketball court, its only 1 second, 1 moment, 1 chance, its now or never; i guess this kinda fits in to matters of heart? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoom kobe 5 chaos. i need a white shoe lace to rock these in school hahahaha :D Click to enlarge. Be astounded, this is where amazing happens^^ Tuesday, March 9, 2010 I'm ready for a real game of basketball; i'm prepared for any challenges that comes along. Let's do it! Saturday, March 6, 2010 Hi friends i'm here for another post because a thought struck me by "accident", i have to put it up here before i forget :D Just a question, have you guys out there ever had a moment like this? Like when you've done all your homework and done with studying all those, you get peace with yourself right? and have you ever gon back to your past? Recollecting past memories, like a roll of tape flashing one scene at a time. No matter what memories it maybe, no matter when it occured, think back, and you will realize that your whole life, since you came out of your mum's womb until now, its like only a matter of seconds. 1 second to be exact. Don't be skeptical, i'm sincere. Its like eveything just flies past in one second, thos happy moments with your families, those moments with friends, those heart accelerating moments with the person you love, everything, when you think about it now, its only one second. That's what i'm going to tell you next, the lifespan of you and me only takes one second, that's it. Literally. Think about it, the significance behind. And people say the difficult thing is, how to live your best, to live remarkably, highly notably in that one second. Its impossible. Now you think about your 15 or 16 years of life, which age comes to you first? you can't specifically pinpoint one period right? thats my point, there may be ups and downs, honourable and tearing moments of joy, heart accelerating moments with the person you love, but when you recollect these memories, its just one second and everything's gone. That's how fragile the value and significance of life is, you just have to accept this fact. This is why, i cherish every moment, every chance and oppotunity that i have, to do something that will leave an imprint on my heart, on my memories. Its something that you have to experience and taste it yourself, that's what motivates me, that's what gives me the passion to pursue th things i love, the person i love. Its a lifetime oppotunity sometimes, when you miss it, its gone forever. That's why i'm so obstinate when it comes to pursuing my interest. Its something i believe will change lives, even if it last for a billionth of a second, its still worth the attempt, still worthy for you to make th right choice at the right time. Till the end, life's about waiting for the right moment to act isn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright i'm done, i shall end this post with a few pictures, enjoy! (: Its an honour to have your idol's name and signature inscribed on your shoes, its a form of motivation to all number 24 fans. Alright, click this picture to enlarge. notice that the sun isn't as bright as it used to be.. I had to capture this shot, because i knew that there will be nothing close to something so magnificent and beautiful will present itself to you again. spent sometime with nature, it really changes your perspectives on your current hectic lifestyle (: Cool man i saw this bird in the sky and i rushed out of class to take this picture. I think this is a major discovery! i searched google for the whole afternoon but i cant tell which species of bird that this one belongs to. Any suggestions? tagbox <--------- :D Oh yeah, i got my new Jordan Brand Basketball :D its quite special because it has a graffiti collage of jordan brand shoes all over the ball. Click to enlarge! Friday, March 5, 2010 Woo, it seems that my blogging routine has been like changed to once a week hahah. But to blogspot, i'm so sorry, like the only thing i do here is to lag and apologise, or maybe do a shoe review. Haha that's not my style, seriously, i'm definitely not a shoe head. Well, the whole week was quite hectic, i was so busy that i had to squeeze out time for meals at home D: the thing is Until now i still can't accept the fact that i'm 16~! haha like i'm becoming further and further from my childhood, and going nearer into the complicated society. Man, the wholeweek was physics and physics and physics, but don't call me a mugger! Its like from a perspective i wanna end this term on a good note, and from another i want to keep my faith and that i believe that what i'm doing now isn't what everything i've got. Its just motivation and passion. And These are the 2 conditions that you create for yourself, not waiting for others to shout at you. ================================================================= BTW, Zoom Kobe 5 Chaos are insanely comfortable shoes to ball in! ================================================================= Ok, its now a few more minutes to midnight and i'm here to share something on trust. To shed somelight on this blogspot, because i don't want it to be a newsletter for shoes and everything. Haha i read a post from a youtube subscriber and how he lamented on the line of trust. Trust, what is it to us? Trust, when lost, can never be regained. Just like when you shatter a piece of glass, all those microscopic pieces go all over the place, and even if you vacuum it up and stick it back together using super glue, the crackline is still there, it can be never brought back to its original state. Thats how brittle the term trust is. Its a devotion between 2 people, just like chocolate that never fails to bring on a smile to your face, but when that chocolate melts, no matter how you freeze it back, you can never get back the same shape. I often wonder why the world out there is so complicated, so restricted and so daunting; why are people complicated and stuffs. Is it because of my age? Oh man i need a serious brainwashing of my cartoon network man LOL. gosh i needa sleep, at least it makes me healthy! :D Just be it, whatever that it comes, my feelings will be there still, nothing will change that fact. my passion will never fade away, its like a small flame, that results in a burning inferno at the end of the fairytale. |
