Play bball in the morning. Darn, my shoulder still hurts from the scorching sun the day before. Haha. Love it when there's no one at the basketball court. When there's no one to disturb me while I'm juz shooting some hoops. Woot, realised a bit more about myself today.

Lack of confidence. I always think that I'm a lousy shooter and that is a bad bad thought. I started of as a shooter. I shot in consecutive 15 3pt-ers before. I finished one of the tough match in OCS Bravo wing bball match single-handedly with 4 3pt-ers. So, records showed that I could shoot but juz why am I not performing? Lack of confidence. Tot boon is a good shooter so I thought I should imitate his style of shooting, maybe juz hang a little bit more, or jump a little higher or something else. Bad. In the midst of trying to imitate others, I forgot that my body has already memorised my own shooting timings, momentum and style long ago. I only managed to summon this sub-consciousness when my team relied solely on me to win. This morning's bball I tried bit by bit to recover this hidden skill on mine and wow, it's juz surprising that I already knew whether the ball will be going in or not after my finger tips released the ball. By whole body is in sync with the shot, felt great. Tried dunking but darn, I think I still need to jump 10cm higher. Juz 10 more cm. =/

Guitar lesson. Cool. Wow, I wonder if it's me or my teach is like teaching me some difficult stuffs. Was doing some blue chords and darn were they difficult. Juz when I got the hang of it, teach said we should do some improvisation. So I was playing the chords and she pull of some stunner, played some solo to the chords and told me "Your turn. Juz go on with your feeling and trying to play something melodious." So I gave her the "Errr...ok" face and tried some crappy moves which totally sounded turn off to me. HAhah. But cool, I'll have to go search some youtubes for ideas. Blues music. Loving it. Love the rhythm, love that sexy sounds of the notes at certain point when it goes higher or when there's bending involved. Haha. For a start, listen to Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight". You'll know what I mean. =)

Back to World of Goo! =p
