I'll Be Free on Saturday Nights

Since July 2004, my life on Saturday nights has been revolving around this box thing called tv or a white screen flooded on with pictures from a projector. Could you imagine that week in, week out, that was all me and a bunch of my friends would be caught doing. It was until too one extend that we do not have to call each other but just drive our way to the usual location and everybody would start coming one by one.

You see, all this while my life has been about the English Premier League and nothing else. The team I support? Liverpool. But let's leave that out of the big picture here. As I mentioned earlier, Saturday nights most of us 'big boys' would just go to our favourite mamak stall and watch the games shown live and even the replays up to 3 or 4 in the morning. This went on weeks after weeks and months after months.

Anyway, I've decided to end this once and for all. Well, for my side that is. To me there's no point for me anymore to dedicate my life to a sport that I myself seldom play anymore. Errr... did I just say seldom? I've not kicked a ball on a full field pitch for more than 2 years!!! Who am I kidding. So, I've decided to name the things I want to name as my top of the list doings.


1. Saifarahizah Ab. Wahap

What can I say about this girl? She's the love of my life. Although right now she's just there to share my life as I am to hers, I can't wait for the moment that she's part of me. We do have our ups and downs, yes we do, but then we seem to still through it all the time. Oh yeah and Sayang, you don't have to worry bout me ditching you on Saturday nights anymore. :D

(Can't wait to get my own digicam so that I could post up picts of her in this blog as well...)

2. Basketball (inclusive of NBA and street ball)

Hah!!! Now this is what I define as a true sport. Been playing with the dudes for more than 10 years now, yet I'm no where up to my actual ability. Sorry guys for not able to compete with you all. However, my love for this sport has never died out. In fact since meeting back most of the ballers, my love for it has grown strong (but don't worry Sayang, my love for you would never die).

So, practically I'm balling at least 4 times in a week, minimum. Need to be fit brother. As a fellow baller mentioned to me, "You keep fit so that you can play ball and not play ball so that you can keep fit".

Anyway, basketball games are much more intriguing. There's four quarters (more time to walk to and fro to the fridge), 6 timeouts (more walking), you get playes scoring more than 10 points each game (what's the maximum for football?) and also for the full game, it's action filled. There's reasons for every screen, every fadeaway, every dunk, every block. What can I say, basketball is an art to me. Even Shaq's dunks is an art by itself.

3. Music

Music represents my soul, my attitude at that current moment. Need I say more?


Kiddster thinks that's enough reason for me to ditch football for good. Well, there would be an occasional football watching and even playing futsal. But as I've mentioned, O-C-C-A-S-I-O-N-A-L-L-Y. Oh yeah, and guys, I'll be free on Saturday Nights (Duh!).



PS. Did I mention that Liverpool lost to Chelsea a few hours before this?
