"Our Deepest Fear" from Coach Carter

10:46 AM

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyong measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir I just wanna say thank you. You saved my life." -- Timo Cruz

today had been in a way the weirdest day of my life. alot of funny stuff yet disappointing news.

the sec ones and a couple of the sec 2s got a game against Kranji PRI in the morning. very fun to watch my juniors ;D super funny de. got super lot of turnovers hahahaha. at first when coach played bao kun, mark, CCC & Yves tat time is super owns. end of 1st quarter leading by like 20 points. then slowly everybody got subbed out. then they catch up! 20 seconds left in the game and they pulled ahead by 2! after that i tink zong tai scored buzzer beeeaater to tie the game. no overtime :O

then after that we took a bus to SBC to play match against Bowen sec. we play them before lorh on tuesday 100 - 35 oh yeah! :D then on the bus Mr pang was like one by one calling those on the most like team list and check particulars. I xi bei piss off siah they give me number 7!! chao ****! i dun wan 7! crap larhs.

we played them then won again but duno whats the score. no scoresheet. anyone even took down the scores??? Joel scored 5 back-to-back 3-pointer out of 6 attempts to steal the show. hahaha

then yao zhong super funny he wear the jersey pants go and rinse in the toilet. then he came out then

i say: you got extra pants arh?

yao zhong: oh yeah hor!

hahaha! then after the match wee xuan keep on playing with the last ball that haven't put away yet then

coach say: 不要玩球 la

wee xuan: 为什么？

coach: 因为我要玩.

LOL then coach played with wee xuan when wee xuan got rebound coach scold him and say: you cannot have ball only i can have ball. hahahaha! then wee tio pwn like some dog :D

then go back school got some sports psychology talk arh for c div bball and the whole swim team. then the swim team very chao de lorh kip on talking then waste alot of time. then got one time the speaker said: (at where he was studying at that time only got 2 psychologist)... "it was me and another chinese lady... well she was a mother with a kid"

then yves reacted very peculiarly: what? she's a mother (cut off)...?

then everyone started laughing. then the guy was like asking what our short-term goal for basketball was larh? so he ask wee xuan(volunteer), then wee xuan say: "to not travel while driving". analyze that sentence as a normal person. LOL

then after that play HORSE with joel and wee xuan. Joel sunk a near half-court shot. so he was like "wee xuan's gonna get a 'R'" (wee xuan was next). then wee xuan freaking shoot in! alamak. then i miss then i tio 'R'. haha. erm thats all for now larhs. hahaha till next time ;D

10:44 PM

It is very strange... All the time we win matches are only those that held on FRIDAY. then friday i got 3rd lang de lorh then always never play! haven't got taste of win yet lehs! except last year against Yishun Sec?? before the DSAs came in. zzz

Then wee xuan and alex both go and bluff me say we lost 61-22, when we actually won. then daoed me to avoid questioning xD

About schoolwork, first time posting about it :D

Also RE is so extra one lorh, all the gpp and stuff, super waste my time one, especially when only 2 ppl in our group is working, other 2 nv contributed a single thing. dun talk about them. haah

RI 51 - 52 AISS

10:41 PM

Unfortunate finishing for us. haha. Chun cheong fouled out halfway through 2nd qrtr wth. me and bao kun fouled out with few minutes remaining in 4th qrtr. Then Chng oso not playing due to ankle sprain. wa laO.

first qurter we lead them, then got alot of miss lay-ups then lose like siao :P Alex got 3 3-points including that brilliant game-ending buzzer beater. whoosh alex.

but here's the twist. 2nd half, we went hyper de lorh. CRAZY!!!!!!!

you should've been there, anyone who's reading this, the tempo was really HIGH dude!

actually I'm really damn happy we played this match at all. Because this really would be

the pivotal point in our C Div journey. This is the FIRST match ever we played as a team, even players from the bench going all out in support for those on the court. We gave in our best on defense, but occassional slips by the outside players and totally unnecassary fouls commited by posts in an attempt to stop their wingers from cutting to the basket would continue to haunt us. 3 ppl foul out sia, siao o.O!

But i really enjoy games like these where the everybody really forgets about individual achievements, i swear, nobody was even thinking about them. Even the usually quiter ones were rallying in for players on court. Everyone were feeling high, as if there was nothing that could've dampened our spirit. And this is the exact goal we should hope to achieve in every game, beginning from the very first second of gameplay to the very end! We have proven, against even favourites SAS, that when we play as such, nothing could break us. We are practically INVINSIBLE. haha! this is the first milestone. the most difficult one - bonding as a team. from now on its all about fundamentals, how fast we correct our individual mistakes that would ultimately constitute the teams overall performace :))

A very interesting converstation

9:54 PM

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has
with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat,
a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold.
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it?
In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . .. .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly !
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

NB:

I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so .. .
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH.
That student was Albert Einstein.
