Still Kena Thrashed but Improved

Zaky had a game on Sunday morning, which made his half-dead mother climbed out of bed despite the super late night. After years of clubbing, I have come to realize that lack of sleep + hangover = deadly combo, which explained why we rarely go beyond the 2 glasses of house pour that come with the cover charge. Most of us needed to function as if the clubbing incident didn't happen the next day and we are also too sensible to throw good money into drinks.

Anyway, the alarm rang at 8am and the little people were already running around in the house getting ready. I was the last to absent mindedly staggered out of the house. It was a 慢半拍 morning.

Two Sundays ago, we turned up at the Clementi stadium to realise that his game was the earlier slot and we made an empty trip. The schedule kept changing and parents had to rely on these sheets of schedule that were given out, which we probably missed. I really hope that we got the schedule right this time bcos his dear mother sacrifice her beauty sleep and would be very upset if there was no game. Haha. Fortunately, things worked out as they should.

While waiting...

I thought I looked decent in the pictures but actually felt very dead inside. I is the walking dead. Hoho.

Soon, it was Zaky's turn.

I cannot believe how come their team is always so suay and at a disadvantage. There were only 5 in their team, the 6th girl turned up much later. This meant that there was no exchanges for most part of the game. The other team not only had 7 players, 2 to 3 of them were exaggerating tall. They can't be 9 years old. What milk powder did their mother feed them? How come my only free sideways and not upwards?

Zaky's team still lost the game at the end. They scored 8 while their opponents were like 20+ but they played much better. Towards the later part of the game, exhaustion sets in and it was obvious that his team wasn't thinking; they weren't thinking hard to begin with. Haha.

The many hours that Daddy Lim spent playing basketball with the boy must have paid off. Though he is still bad with ball handling, he has definitely improved. I saw 2 occasions that he was opened and tried to score. He would probably passed the ball to his teammate in the past, which he still does when the opponents are in defense bcos he isn't confident. He said so himself. Of the 8 points, 2 were contributed by him. Hehe. Proud mummy moments despite him being one of the weaker links.

His opponents definitely were playing as a team more than his. There were so many times that we see individual who tried to be hero, poor soul who was tackled with no support or poor soul who had to try to be hero bcos his teammates were too tired and walking behind him. Hoho.

Regardless, it was definitely one of the better games that his team had played. The excitement from watching the game woke me up and at least I didn't have to regret giving up my beauty sleep to come watch him. We didn't scold him this time but affirmed that he played much better.

Sidetracked - the posts were so short and cute. Jiejie could probably slam dunk. Hoho.

The season is coming to an end. I am not sure when would be the next one but I would be interested to sign him up for some running around.
