Counting down the days... 10 days left

So wow, it's finally come down to this. In many many many blinks of an eye, I only have 10 days left in Sha Tin College. The same place I've been going to school since I was like 5 (if you include Sha Tin Junior) so wow. Going up that same hill for like 10 years, and soon it's going to be all over, so with these 10 days left, I'm just going to do some meaningful stuff and I will blog about it, and you guys can find out some new stuff about me that you never knew before and you will all read about it because you all love reading my blog!!

So after today, there are officially 10 school days left. I guess I'll describe what happens today because today was pretty interesting. So today was the ESF Swimming Gala thing. I get progressively suckier each year (I actually improve I just don't improve as much!) and I swam 50m butterfly and I came last (wooo) so there goes my last ESF Swimming Gala. Well even if I wasn't leaving it would still be my last one because it's for year 7-10.

So yea good bye swimming! Swimming's been a pretty big part of my life so far. I started swimming when I was like 5 or 6 in my Darth Maul swimming trunks that were red and black and I just kinda kept doing that until like year 7. I was like on par with Nick (BELIEVE IT!!) until he started beating me by a lot then I was like meh... then I stopped. True fact - Nick didn't want to do 100m freestyle in Year 7 cause he was scared he would lose to me!! :P

But of course that was changed over the course of the last 3 years. Nick swims like 26 seconds for 50m freestyle and keeps breaking school records in random time trials, and the only water I've been around is in the shower and the sink.

Anyway, our school has like this pretty good record with the Swimming Gala, winning it 7 times in a row and like winning quite a few before that. It's always a tight race between Sha Tin and KGV. This year was no different with like a tighter race than ever before! The difference between us was 1 point and when the score announcer guy was saying it, everyone was pretty damn nervous, thinking about that 1 point. If you could have just swam a little faster in that one event, maybe if you were a little faster on your dive. And in the end Sha Tin wins again for the 8th time in a row.

So I learnt that down the stretch, every point counts. This applies for exams as well, as us Year 10s have been taking mock exams lately. The difference between getting an A or a B, a Pass or a Fail could very well come down to 1 point, so every point counts, but then even after this I'll just probably overlook that crap and make some silly mistakes due to being plain silly or lazy or whatever, but what I just wrote sounded really cool so I don't care.

Anyway, so after swimming thing we got on the bus to Sha Tin and I had dinner with Nick, Bernice, Sydney, Purple, Kim and Angel (who wouldn't give me an onion ring :() and it was pretty stupid. The waiter wouldn't give us water and I ate like a $49 (original price $98) hamburger and I ate some fries and I got 1 onion ring!

Then we (not Bernice her mom didn't let her even. Purple like got on the phone and asked her to let Bernice watch then after that her mom was like wtf. I got to talk to her too but I didn't know what to say so I just said hi.) watched Prince Caspian, sitting in the front row. At the end of the day, even if you sit in the front row, if you can just like be with your friends and be watching a movie, you'll be happy. Purple kept telling me what was going to happen in the movie "oh this part is really sad" or "oh this part is really funny" but you know, who cares! It was a pretty good movie. I remembered trying to read the book a while back but I got really bored real quick. Yea it was pretty good. The Dearest Little Friend guy was pretty funny.

Then after that I went home. It was raining like crazy but thankfully my mom picked me up from the station, so now I'm home and from that moment I got this idea to blog a countdown thing to my last 10 days of school.

So here it is.

Days left in Sha Tin College: 10

Oh yea, you know I said I wanted to get that iPhone 3G? This will have to do until then.

15th Birthday and iPhone 3G

Ladies and gentleman, today is my 15th birthday!!!

Yes the mastermind of this amazing blog was only 14!

Now he's 15! YES!!!!!!!!!

And like they just announced the new iPhone3G which is twice the speed of the iPhone and half the price! It like starts at $200 (US) so I'm assuming that's for the 8GB model.

It's a dream come true! Music + Phone + iPod + Wifi Internet stuff!

YES!

And I was wondering earlier if I wanted like an iPod Touch but then I was like hmm if I'm gonna get an iPod Touch why don't I just get like an iPhone!?

But now they're releasing a new iPhone which is good and cheap! YES!

Wow. Pay to watch 2 Girls 1 Cup

Yea, now you officially have to PAY to watch 2 Girls 1 Cup. Yea that video with this white girl and this Indian girl making a shit and licking it and eating it and barfing it out again and eating it again.

Wow.

Presidents and NBA - CONSPIRACY!?

So I was watching the news this morning and I saw Obama get all excited about the Olympics in Chicago and stuff. Now the Chicago Bulls won the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft lottery, and Obama is a Chicago native who loves basketball....

CONSPIRACY?

IS OBAMA MAKING THE BULLS RESTORE THEIR LEGACY BY MAKING THEM GET THE NUMBER 1 PICK?

IS NBA MAKING THE BULLS GET THE NUMBER 1 PICK SO OBAMA WILL GO WATCH NBA GAMES?

A little bit more... In George Bush's 8 years of Finals that he could experience as president, a Texas team made the finals 4 times, and the years they didn't make the Finals, there was a Texas team either in the Western Conference Final or in an earlier round being eliminated by the eventual champion.

UH OH!

NBA Finals Game 1 - Random thoughts

KG likes shooting that J. I never watched a lot of T-Wolves/Celtics basketball so I thought he was like a power dunker guy because he was on NBA Live. Guess I'm wrong. He shoots way too many Js for a guy with his strength and speed.

Kobe Bryant is actually a better team player than people give him credit for, but in crunchtime his I AM KOBE BRYANT instinct kind of takes over and then he will only pass to guys that he trusts, so Pau Gasol. The Machine was open at the 3 point line with no one even close to the passing lane or close to contesting him before he gets a good look and shoots but he decides to go Kobe style and do it himself.

Maybe KG should try shooting 3s? He receives the ball at the 3 point line then steps in to a 2. He's pretty open at the 3 point line and he's not a bad 3 shooter himself. If Chris Bosh does it then so should KG!

My predictions for the Finals and NBA JAM!

I'm going to say the Celtics will take this series in 7. It'll be a classic. Kobe is excellent but like on a 1-10 scale, if Kobe was 10 then Ray would be like 7 Pierce would be like 8 and KG would be like 9. Gasol might be like a 7 and Odom like a 6. Ok but enough of this 1-10 shit. I think Celtics will drop a few games that they could win because Doc is a fucking retarded coach.

Celtics have a lot of X-Factors, so they have a pretty amazing team. Best Big 3 in the league with some of the best x-factors. You can expect Rondo to give you 20 points in a game or 2 and some huge plays and you can expect Perk to be like a double double machine and outmuscle Gasol.

But yea don't sleep on the Lakers. Kobe is a bitch to stop, Lamar is playing his best as a Laker with the Gasol trade and Gasol is awesome. Fisher, Walton, Vlad Rad and THE MACHINE are all shooting good throughout the playoffs and will get a lot of open looks with Kobe and Lamar/Gasol in the post.

So it's going to be a good series, but I think Celtics just have more determination and more skill to pull this one out.

Recently I've been playing NBA Jam and NBA Jam Tournament Edition with my ZSNES and even playing online with KY and it's a pretty damn fun game. The graphics suck dick, but the gameplay is like crazy fun. Nothing is realistic about it but it's fun and that's all that matters. :D

To my good friend :)

I'd like to dedicate this one to a special someone (no not my girlfriend i don't have one.) And you know who you are. I don't know how to say this so that it isn't corny but cheer up and be happy! You've been through and you are going through a lot and yadda yadda but sometimes if you just let go and think of some happy stuff it'll make you happy!

Just live in the moment! Don't need to worry too much about the past. What's done is done. Don't worry too much about the  future too. When it comes, it comes. Hehehe comes. I'm leaving after this year too and yea life will be different in USA but wtf why am I worrying? Worrying's not going to help. I'll just not worry so much and do what I have to do when it's there.

Ok that was really corny, but whatever.

Love ya! :)
