I have a time of my life

I have a time of my life to do whatever I want
I shall not be too greedy
not just looking at the good side of others
and feel jealous
not to wish for everything
not to live how people expect me to
merely follow my heart
an easier life is always a happier life

"The Pursuit of Happyness"

This is a very touching, motivating and inspiring movie

The father, Christ has a hardest time in his life

Homeless, unpaid taxes and even parking

His wife has chosen to leave him

Despite all these miseries

Still he is steadfast to his belief

He is not defeated by all he has been through

He never changes his affection to his beloved son

Just like most stories

He got through all these

And finally 

He finds the happiness in his life

I have to be grateful

For my life is not pre-arranged by fate, as his

I have a better environment

The obstacles in my life may not be as torturing as his

But his spirit

His spirit should be my role model

I shall face them with a same attitude

same perseverance 

It deserves my respect, it is based on a true story of Christ Gardner

Basketball shoes is more than a fashionable accessory on court. In stead, basketball shoes is specially designed for handling the specific foot movements in basketball game. Playing basketball in basketball shoes gives you the protection to your foot and legs. Further, a pair of basketball shoes is more durable as compared to playing basketball in an ordinary pair of shoes.

let me share with yalls how to choose a pair so suitable basketball shoes
A pair of good basketball shoes is important to a player, but keep in mind that it wont elevate your performance in basketball.

How Do You Play the Games?
To choose basketball shoes first you need to know the style of your play whether you play center, you rely on your speed or you are an all-around player


Speed Demon

Herring Bone Pattern

if you are a speed demon, you will need excellent ankle flexibility, thus a low top will serve you the best. Besides that, to you traction or grip is crucial for you to pick yourself up and cross over. Therefore you need out sole with good traction, and usually herring bone pattern (MMMout sole is the best for you. For impact absorption, Nike Zoom Air will be the best option to you because it is the thinnest Air which is very responsive and so enhance your agile plays like cut and break.



Power Player
If you are a power player,  you will need heavy protection because you will do a lot of jump an landing where usually these players have a heavier weight. So shoes with good cushioning is suitable for you, therefore nike shoes with Air or Shox or Zig Tech of Reebok will serve you the best where they are good at impact absorption especially the impact caused by a heel strike . And usually ankle support is very important to you since you perform a lots of powerful moves, therefore high top shoes is good for you

All-around player
If you are a swing man who plays front court and back court, you will need a mid top shoes that will give you ankle support as well as the flexibility to your ankle movement. Shoes with impact absorption like Air and Zoom Air is also suitable for you to handle the heel strike. Besides, out sole with good traction is also important for you to perform your speed. For traction, out sole with herring bone pattern is the best option.

Which is the Most Comfortable to You?
After knowing the types of shoes that suits you, the next step is to choose a pair which is the most comfortable to you among all the brands. There are several reputable producer of Basketball shoes they are Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse and And1. However the first 3 brands are recommended. I and personally think that Nike has the best functions and most of the Adidas shoes are usually more durable,  and Reebok also produces good shoes.


However when choosing, you should totally forget about the outlook of the shoes. Basically all these basketball shoes giants are doing a good job. Therefore, all you need to consider is whether you are comfortable in a shoes. So you are in a store don't be shy, put on both shoes and try to run, leap and jump in the store. Even though, it looks weird in front of the public but it is worth consider the price of the shoes usually cost few hundred ringgits. And also don't forget to wear your socking when you visit a store trying on shoes without socking is foolish.

The Right Size
After you have make up your mind about which model of which brand you wannna purchase. Now you need to know the actual size of your foots. The right size is a must for basketball shoes, if the shoes are too small to your foot it will cause injury and corns to your foot and shoes that is larger than your foot will be a burden when you play. It is always advisable to ask the store to measure for you because the size will change sometime even after puberty. Stores like Royal Sport House and Al Ikhsan actually have professional tool to measure your foot size, but just the case that you need to request yourself because the salespersons in these stores are usually passive.

Find the Price
Now, you come the stage of bargain hunting.As i said basketball shoes are not cheap and usually cost around RM 250 for a decent one so it wont be wasting time for you to visit you a few store for the price of shoes that
you want and you will see the difference.

And i personally don't advise to buy signature shoes of the Stars like Zoom Kobe and Zoom Lebron, because they charge you more than what the shoes have just because it is a signature shoes of Lebron. I know you understand me. When these shoes are in a sales promotion or discount the stock may be kept for years and the out sole will easily detach, you can often see this happen in Nike shoes. However, i am always wanted  those shoes because I m a big fans of NBA. Lastly, to maintain your shoes please play more often and you will find your shoes more durable it is a magic.

A Told Lesson

Last night I have learned my lesson
A lesson that I have been told before
But I did not take note of it seriously

I couldn't start my car last night
And the cause was because of the battery was dry
And it was dry because I did not take good care of them

Driving a car is definitely not as simple as filling up the tank
There are things like engine oil, water level of the coolant and battery, etc

When problems come
they are really troublesome
It is even worse if it were your first encounter

Maintaining a car car be very easy
It just needs a tiny bit of your time

Growing of "Love"

As I am getting elder, I am becoming more concerned to my parents and my family

Honsetly
I was a wild kid last time
Just like an ordinary teenager, looking for freedom
I was always out for basket ball, badminton and cyber cafe when I was a teenager
Even when I enrolled into University, seldom I will travel back home
And in my sophmore year I had made up my mind to stay in Penang after graduation
I was thinking that it was impossible that they will leave me one day

But now things have changed
I missed them more now
I travel back more often now

Because I guess this might be the last quarter of their life
If lucky enough, it might be the second half
But I can sense that it are not so long
not quite enough

I have to show my love to them
before it is too late
If I didn't,
I guarantee that I would regret for the rest of my life

When I was a kid and a teenager
At that time,
they were young too,
they had their dreams too
and things that they would prefer to chase after,
if there weren't me and my siblings

But they opted to raised us up first
They burned their adolescence energy to bring us up
They had chosen to enjoy their life after we can fly by ourself

Now they have succeeded

I have grown up
My wings are strong now, no more depending on them
They have fulfilled their "mission" to raise me up

Now should the time they get their rewards
They deserve to have a fruitful harvest now

However
they find out that things that nourish and cheerish their life are no more luxurious travelling or fancy cars any more
They are becoming used to be with us
Their children have occupied their world
Now their true joy is the time they are having around with us

As their children
I am one of the key to their joy in the rest of their life
It is so simple
Just have more good time with them
sincerely
Let them feel my affection

I could opt to act selfishly
My wings are strong now, I have the strength to fly freely and explore my life and my future
But I wont put my entire focus on it
I am making the right choice =)

I am so glad that I understand this before it is too late

Uninteresting Post Season Games

Without Kobe now
The playoff seems not interesting to me at all
 I miss the feeling of cheering for lakers in the last few seasons playoff

May be it is a time for me to change
change to Wade and Heat

But I seem to find Kevin Durrant's plays is so fascinating
And just like the younger Kobe
He is cold blooded
Make big shot

Thanks to the advancement in information technology and Internet.

Accessing to internet is becoming easier and more convenient

However I guess sometimes the internet does teem with million, billion or trillion of info

The state of information overload when we are searching for a single piece of information

Because they are flooded and most of them are ambiguous

If you are not patient enough 

you will easily got upset 

because most of the time the link that you click is not what exactly you want

I think we should learn more about the behavior of your search engine and with better patience, you will get the information you are looking for.
