Today, I am thankful I played a great game of basketball and come out unscathed. Because I am quite 'Tall", more often or not I will be require to "mark" someone as tall as me if not taller and larger size than me.

Today, I went to mark a Philippine player. A bit shorter than me but his upper body strength is much more powerful. So when he bounced the ball and move into the centre circle with me behind him, the impact actually caused me to move back 2 steps.

I can feel my chest hurting just by thinking about the impact but it is good because it make you want to win, amid the suffering you have to take to guard him. But of course, it is just a 4 vs 4 friendly game and no one will like to see each other injured themselves but I came away impressed with the pace of the game and the "throw all caution to the wind" attitude of my frens who is normally more reserved.

It was a good game indeed except a lot of people didn't cut their nails and we came away with a lot of wolverine marks on our arms.

Just to share with everyone a interesting story

There was this lady who called in to enquire why did XXX company( hint hint) give her an additional gift when she only subscribe for Internet service and redeem a laptop. So the listener felt strange and probe for further details. The lady mentioned it is a cup holder and she did not specified she need a cup holder. she added on when you clicked the cup holder will slot out from the side of the laptop. She called in to enquire whether can she really out a cup onto the 'cup holder'

So do you get what I'm trying to say?

The cup holder is the dvd-rom of the laptop. I think it is a miracle she did not spill any liquid on the cup holder and close the drive...
