I went down to play basketball today even though I’ve not yet recovered from my muscle ache from yesterday’s gym. It was damn good I sweared. I have never played such good games in ages. Usually I’m at home gaming my life away, or hanging out with my friends and getting fat with all those eating and shopping. Other then the running in camp (I’ve not yet ran ever since I’ve been posted to Gedong) and the games day we had, I think I will get fat from this kind of lifestyle.
Talking about basketball, I feel like I haven’t really achieve something big for myself. Except for the fact that I’ve gotten 1st runner up in E-zone and top 10 schools in the nationals in 2004, I’ve always been playing in those half past six teams because I do not have any other coach’s contact for their teams, and I’m also busy with a lot of things even before I entered the army. Things like Student Council, helping my cheerleading team to organize stuffs, and last by not least gaming, which takes up almost all of my free time.
Ever since year 2, I’m like totally drifted away from the basketball world. Except for the annually consistency games, but that’s not enough for me because I don’t feel contented at all. All I need is being spotted by a coach and being poach over to their teams so that I can commit myself.
Commitment is something i really need, because it is not an easy task. You need to have the heart and the effort to do so. If either one is absent, people won’t move at all. Perhaps at a slower pace i think, but the commitment will slowly fade until a point that you realize it’s gone. And when you decided to start all over again, it’s very hard.
Hopefully from now, my basketball fever will come back. But like what I’ve said, heart and effort is very important. I only have the heart now, but do not have the effort.
Saying is easier then being done.
