Day 9 - Rest and Recreation

My 1st 'Off' day from training and I had a jog around the neighbourhood in the morning. Realised everywhere was under-renovation. Below the HDB which I live in used to have a basketball court. But now they are making it into a 'outdoor gym'. Speaking of which, you do notice that there are getting more and more of this eyesore around the neighbourhood, no?

I officially got no more childhood memories! I still remember I rollerblade there when I was in Primary Sch, then played basketball in Secondary and I even learnt my first bicycle lesson at the basketball court when I was Sec 5 and ended in the bushes (Yes I know, I got no childhood).Oh well, sort of regretted that I chose to make a comeback playing basketball again, fate decided to take that court away from me. Should have spent more time playing below.

Maybe its a sign that's age catching up. That I should be now 'using' those apparatus below instead...

Anyway, was looking browsing through Youtube and I saw this very inspiring video on Michael Jordan. Its called the 'Failure' commercial.

Michael Jordan "Failure" Nike Commercial

"I missed more than 9000 shots in my career"
"I lost almost 300 games."
"26 times, I've been entrusted to take the game-winning shot...and missed."
"I've failed over and over and over again in my life..."
"And that is why...I succeed."

Must remember his never-say-die quote. So inspiring yet so cool. Oh yea by the way, got to invest in a new basketball. Got the shoes, got the gear, but no ball. What gives?

Have to find another full-time job. Last I heard from my friend, I'm going to be fired from my 'Goverment' job in 12 days time due to recession (*snicker*).
