Win! Victory. One of the best competition I've ever played so far. Not because we win its because I reunited with my old team minus Kan Huey Ding lmao (Don't worry Ding it was nothing we couldn't handle). Teamwork is still there despite not playing for together for a long long long time. To our opponents, you put up a good fight but didn't give us a good run for our money. I guess when it comes down to it, experience determines the outcome. You get an 'A' for effort and see you again next year ;) keep on practicin'. I had to switch from Point Guard to Power Forward position because in the 3 years we never played together I grew taller than someone hahaha (sorry Yau I had to say it xD)
Exam tomorrow~

Dear Anderson Ang and Jeffrey Leong you will be missed in Taman Desa. Anderson at least you're still in Malaysia lmao see you in 3 months. To Jeff take care dude hope to see you this December. Remember our business deal arh open mamak in UK hahaha.
I believe my auntie has gotten a wakeup call. Why did I say that? Well as usual during family gatherings uncles and aunties will be talking around about how good their child is or how amazing their achievements are and bla bla bla... but I never attend these gatherings because for one, their not my actual family even though I'd rather call my aunt and uncle as mom and dad I still don't have that sense of belonging to a family (Yes even if I've already lived here for 20 years). And secondly I grew up in the shadow of auntie's daughter and son both graduated overseas and were like model students. Then came along me with only talent in words, sports and music not the type of child any traditional minded parent/guardian would want. And because of this I've always been looked down on, always getting compared to her son and daughter. Whatever I achieved in sports, music, drill, debates etc. etc. were nothing to my auntie and uncle (not even those in National and International levels).
They both always had no confidence in me and so had nothing to say about me during their family gatherings except how lazy I am or how many subjects I flunked. Every medal and trophy I practiced hard and achieved was just so that you could give me a drop of recognition. But I guess now they know that I made it quite far not letting anything stop me till I've gotten what I wanted. Yes I didn't do well in SPM and yes dear uncle I didn't want to study to become a mechanic or real estate even though you generously offered to pay my studies for only those 2 courses. But I took up your challenge and I went to work to put myself into tertiary education. Even though you still disagree that photojournalism / military journalism can get me anywhere I'll still be doing it. I'll do what I love for a living and won't end up as a failure like my parents.
But now recently you both finally realized where my talent lies in and hearing you talk of me proudly as if a blood son. Seeing how you said you saw your niece's photography after seeing mine you said it looked like she had no standard and how you argued with your church friend that I can design a better front page for a booklet despite her saying that the other guy is 30+ years old and a damn good designer and asking whether I won my basketball competitions when I got home (something that has never happened before), You both may not know it and I don't show it but it means the universe to me. Finally... I get recognition by the 2 people I love most in this world. I am at peace. What I've been yearning for has been earned :)
