Tadi lepas balik dari 2 Way Centre kitorang actually decide untuk singgah di bazar kat Times Square (Penang) tapi masa nak carik parking aku tengok dari jauh macam tak seberapa je. Akhirnya semua sepakat tak jadi singgah. Aku end up ke belakang hospital besar je macam biasa. Kali ni aku sendirian sebab awek kat rumah, takde lecture petang (aku tolong belikan untuk die). Seperti tahun lepas, gerai and makanan almost the same je. Even their location of gerai pon sama. Nothing interesting/new to try. Lepas beli nasik ayam utk si dia (that's just one of the things she asked :P), aku pegi beli nasik campur. Nasik ngan ayam seketul ngan ati masak kicap ngan togey sums up to just rm4.20. Not bad ek? Tambah air rm1. So in the end aku hanya spend rm5.20 je untuk buka pose ari ni :P Nampak gaya nya aku akan selalu buat camni la :D (by the way food for my dear totaled up to about twice of what I paid. Go ahead and make a guess on what I bought for her hehe)
See you!

How I play volleyball.
This is the way I've been playing, over the years with experience since 1999 (if I remember correctly) and playing with/against school friends, Chinese schools teams, and players from various countries. I was lucky to have the opportunity to play alongside awesome players of University College Dublin volleyball team (especially my ex-teammates in Division 1 team) but that kind of story is for another post (I guess :P). (I'm in no way implying that I'm good or awesome, I'm just like everyone else with still so much to learn)
1. Getting in the 'ready' position. This is crucial because this is the best position for impulsive move to get easy, moderate and even hard/tricky passes/attacks.
2. Passing the ball. As mentioned below, the process of passing comes from the combination of slight movement of the upper limbs (not a full swing past your chest!) and the spring motion from your lower limbs ( as you were in the 'ready' position, your knees are already bent so the spring comes from extending your legs). This will almost always results in a well controlled ball unless you have super strong arms and slight swing will send the ball to outer space ;)
3. Next comes the setting. I was either having trouble at drawing this or just got lazier :P. Setting is really a bit difficult at the beginning but once you get the feeling of the motion, you'll be setting like a pro. First of all, position both hands above your face (always set the ball above your face, not too far infront, too low etc.), spread all fingers wide and hands are like 8 inches apart. You DO NOT set using your palm, instead the ball must be touching ONLY the finger tips (mostly the thumb, point, and middle finger of both hands). Again as describe below, try to create a flow of slight absorption of the ball by bending in on your elbows and then quickly extend your arms and releasing the ball upwards.
(to be continued because I can't be arsed to continue at the moment, plus it's getting late now :P)

Delusions: Singer, songwriter.
These are made over the years, I could not recall the exact days and dates. They are far from 'good' but at least I can say I tried :P

Volleyball.
Lama dah tak main volleyball ngan team all-guys (sebab susah nak ajak orang datang main). End up having both teams full earlier today. Tak dulik puasa dah, sebab syok! Tak payah kira kesian bila nk serv atau spike..haha >:] Tapi kesian pulak kat kawan2 pompuan sebab diorang yang beriya ajak, tapi disebabkan ramai, konfemla diorang tak puas sentuh bola tu. Sebenarnya aku pon takleh nak predict bende camni nak jadi sebab selalu tu ajak jugak orang2 yang sama, tapi ramai tak dapat nak datang. Jadi some people really had fun while some did not really feel the same. Susah gak nak puaskan ramai orang. Takpe la nanti kemudian kita main sikit orang, bagi korang puas tampar bola ye!
:)
