hey guys

hmm melvin will tell us about a match. think it'll be on thurs or so. yups. hope whoever can come will come? it will be at sp i guess. haha new venue.

all the best to everyone be it driving tests, relationships, studies, exams, etc etc.

and happy teachers' day =)

well well well

hmm to jerome:
it's alright. but perhaps if u say it out then you won't be so "fixedly" put there u know. yups. we really need to talk things out. then all of us can take a step forward.

to weilun:
don't worry about fouling now. cause we have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

to jc guys:
all the best for your prelims. might not count for your a's but will still be a good booster right? haha. yups all the best.

to poly guys:
all the best too for your exams. should be important i guess. haha. don't really know the system but if can do well in it then why not right. haha. all the best for the rest of the papers.

we might be having a game against melvin's friends this sat? i don't know. probability is rather high. heh. still you all guys take care =DD

Team's Progress

YO. We played 7 different matches against different people today and our score sheet was 4 wins 3 losses.

2 matches against an adult team of mixed nationality. Won 1 Lost 1

2 matches against an outside team (like us) but with a coach. Won 1 Lost 1

2 matches against some China kids. We had 1 man short in 1 match. Won 2

1 match against the NS men who are always hanging around. Lost 1

All matches we won were very close fights. And we did not have Vanan throughout.

I personally feel that we can handle those slightly above average players but we will tend to struggle abit. General weakness of the team, i feel, are:

1. Weak Stamina (at least it applies for me)
2. Never hold supposedly positions well
3. Sometimes forget to help each other in defending
4. WEILUN KEEPS FOULING

The strengths

1. Unpredictable (think zhiheng)
2. Score like hell when hot (think aloy, melvin)
3. Good teamwork at times

We will improve slowly guys. Do not worry. Just an update on how we are doing for the benefit of those who have not been around for some time. Hope to see more of you guys coming down.

hey guys

hmm just to say..

saturday we will be playing a game probably just for fun against melvin's friends. like just to play against different people. yups. i know you guys got exams and stuff. so all the best to everyone and me. haha.

ehh just to say this team rocks. we might not be the best on the court but off the court we're still tops. yups so keep in touch everyone! all the best in your studies and endeavours.

Captain?

Regarding aloy's post. i personally feel that we are not in NCC and that we do not need a captain. I feel that aloy has been great in helping us contact each other and fixing matches. Skills wise, i think non of us can say we are one step higher?

We all have different styles of playing. We all think that we can score, thats why we do things we do on the court. No one would crap a shot thinking that it would't score, no matter how despo it might be. Therefore i dare say our skills are equal. So choosing a captain purely via skills should be out.

Attitude wise. We are all busy people and sometimes we tend to FORGET to reply sms that ask us to play bball. right?? So i was thinking, we do it on an interest basis. Example, we all know we play every saturday. But if you feel like you want to see a big crowd, you can initiate the sms sending. If u have lobang for a match, you can sms also. No need to say aloy or whoever is the only one who can send sms. No such thing.

Therefore, to sum up, i do not think that we need an official captain until we start playing matches on tournament levels. Till then, aloy would make a good unofficial captain.

hey

hmm was just thinking. let's elect a new captain. or at least have an official one. yups. so just nominate or say out whoever u think is suitable. yeps.

since we're like brothers for so long do step up if you think u can make it. alright? yups. u guys take care.

update update

i'll send out the msg. so if u can just indicate. hopefully all can. it's against melvin's friends. yups.

the good old days..

hey.. reading what kachung said.. yea.. i miss secondary school alot. i'd rather be in gess now. miss all the people.. the teachers, the students, our friends, the drink stall aunty. all the nonsense i see in secondary school. my rudeness to mr teo. playing bball during recess. playing wwe cards after school. playing daidee anytime anywhere. go tiong after school. even during o'level. every saturday ncc training. tekan tekan tekan. (paiseh melvin.. haha. you npcc) bball and soccer after that. damn power la.. we'll never live to see the same things again. but i guess they will always be part of our memories. the memories which make us who we are today. it might not seem much. but it is alot.. these memories are part of us. and always will.. and i hope this team will carry on. and like what weilun and zhiheng said. we'll be balling in walking sticks.. if we are still in contact after 2 years.. im sure we'll be in contact for a very long time. so teamdaidee shall keep balling.. ;p

hm...

yea..this blog kinda slowing down...reading what wei said..i agree ah..we all come a long way..thou sometimes we get pissed with each other for lil things etc etc.. lets just hope 50 yrs down the road walking sticks and all, we'll still be bouncing and shooting.
exams coming..good luck to u all..
take care =)

How we began

Do you guys still remember how this team started? Haha..Well i guess we can agree that Kenneth was the main man who inspired us to play. He was the only one who knew how to play bball during Sec 2. He was so YAYA! haha.

Slowly one by one we picked up the game, some team mates we picked along the way through WWE card game, some from NCC. Remember how recess bball sessions were like? 15 vs 15 half court. Remember how we called around and ask who wanna be in this team? Remember how we squad down at Queensway to decide our jersey colour and number? Remember how all of you objected when i proposed the name "TEAM DAIDEE"? Remember when we wore it proudly against 4I on our first match? Those were the days, how time passes so quickly.

And now we are apart. 5 years down the road, some of us will be working, some overseas, some university, some maybe even married.

Kah Chung is in Hong Kong

Kenneth is in Canada

JC people need to prepare their As and go to army soon.

Poly people need to study their exams coming soon.

But hope we all remember how this team began. How despo we began. haha..just know this friendship would never fade.

Cheers to all brothers

sat morning!

hey guys! to say it early, this saturday we will be playing at tbcc at 9am. pls come if you can. i think poly people are either having exams or going to have exams. somemore the jc people have prelims approaching. so perhaps it will be our last week before we break for academic work and meet up after everything is over?

so please come if you can! =D really. hope to see everyone down there at tbcc. like the whole 12 of us there? haha. but of course if you can't i'm sure all of us understand, and we wish everyone all the best in their works.

so take care bros. cya all on sat! i hope =)

all the best

to those who are in poly and facing the exams soon: all the best =DD
