Respect and Humility

Just played basketball in camp. Now blogging while in my bunk. That short basketball match made me think a lot. I know it's just a game but I've some things to talk about it. Was playing with the usual Platoon 1 people. And one of them was always more rough. I didn't think so in the past until he knocked me down the other time. I'm not a basketball player so I thought, "Maybe it's just how real basketball players play" So I was trying to view him as someone that is not that rough. But that basketball match proved otherwise. I was disappointed with myself for not scoring and stuffs. Then my ball keep getting snatch. Then one of the guy keep saying "This guy most easy to snatch one" Then one incident I was trying to pass to Dexter but I did a stupid pass straight to the same guy. Then he was like "Wtf? He pass to me ah? He pass to me ah? I thought he check sia." WAH KNN PCB FUCK YOU AND YOUR DOG FACE. Fucking guai lan. I pass wrong then pass wrong already. Just take the ball and stfu. Need so much comment anot lj dog. I swear I was fucking dulan. I tried to keep as calm as possible already. Then he started saying "Wah, why they all so serious one?" They were obviously thrashing us la. But come on, instead of rubbing in can you all stop being so cocky. Maintain some pride for us and for yourself. Then I was so pissed off that I accidentally elbow the guy trying to block me. So I apologised very sincerely. I was really very sincere about the apology. I asked whether he was okay. And he went "Eh play basketball can chill anot?" And to be honest, I didn't even feel myself hitting him. He just suddenly "OHH AWOH WOH" Smlj. In the midst of everything, in the anger and pissed situation. My BMTC sir, 2LT Lester came to my mind. If I were to carry on being so pissed off what will it do good to myself and to the game. So I thought about the two words he told 5th Coy Platoon 4. Respect and Humility will bring you far. And I toned down. And all of a sudden, I feel so much different in that situation. I started being less pissed and started respecting every single one of them. Even the lj dog face guy. So I guessed I learn a lesson from that basketball match. Never been so pissed for a long time already. Pissed at myself actually.
