Yesterday marked the start of the MD CUP 2009 campaign.
We are in Group B competing with three other schools namely:
1) Pte Meragang
2) Pte Katok
3) Chms
I reached Batu Bersurat Basketball Association at around 9.15 and was asked to wait outside as the opening ceremony was just about to begin. It started with every team walking round the floor and lining up in front of the (stage). Then after the opening ceremony, we went back to our seats and witnessed the first match of the tournament ; MD A vs PDS. Both teams were struggling to get points because of not able to finish well and scrappy offence. The score was 4-2 when 15 mins had passed ( if i am not wrong ). However, MD A was able to stretch a larger lead in the second half settling for a convincing win.
After the match, we went to Gadong for a short break and ate at Ideal. Everyone was talking about the recent Transformer 2 movies discussing about every minor detail, basically talking the whole 2 hours and 30 mins movie out HAHA. I think the movie is quite influential. Few of my friends were like talking about seeing Autobots on the road and they were looking at Transformers toys T.T So after the lunch, we went to the mall for some pre-warm up by shooting basketball in the arcade HAHAHAHAHA. We didnt do much in the mall and what suprises me is the little number roaming around mall on a holiday. I guess everyone's been very precautive of the recent H1N1 virus. The virus however had infected 24 more people bringing the tally up to a record 66?
After walking around being jobless for an hour or so, we decided to go back to the court. The SOAS vs SAS match was just about to take place when we stepped into the court. This match was much more better with more energy and enthusiasm. Both parties were scoring at each ends not giving up any easy baskets. The difference were never too far but in the end, SOAS was the better side winning by 3 points.
Next match was the highlight XD: Maktab Sains vs Pte Meragang
We won with the score 63-14. The match was very fun and i had to praise our team for very tight and solid defence. Congratulations to everyone and we will bring this ahead to our next game which is a really tough one. To be honest, i think our group is the hardest among the three. However, everythings worth a try =)
After the match, i felt unsatisfied with my fast break skills so i went to CHMS basketball court to sharpen my skills. I played for 2 hours and went back to get ready for dinner. We went out to Thiam Hock Restaurant and ate with my uncle who just came from Malaysia with his future wife. After the dinner, my friends asked me to go to T.T blues for some accompany. Such a busy day -.-
