After reading about the 5 year old kid that was recently scouted and signed up by Manchester United, I knew I had to quickly build up my profile and prepare it for submission to Sir Alex Ferguson or the Manchester United Academy!

Simply because they are my favourite team mah!

This is my early draft being prepared for submission when the right timing comes along:

If there ever was a sport called “hide and seek”, I think I could actually be quite good at it. In fact, I daresay I could be naturally born to hide, professionally!

After spending the past two years observing how bad my older brother is in hiding, I seriously think I may actually have the talent for it!

For example, say Koko Collin covers himself with a blanket, totally hidden from everyone. If anyone were to shout out something like “Huh? Where’s Collin?”, he would immediately remove the sheets and reveal his position. Worst, he could be snickering under the covers and saying “Here…I’m here”….whilst still in hidden mode.

In comparison, whenever I pull some cloth (like blanket or towel) to hide me from the world, I have this uncanny ability to remain perfectly still and silent. Even when I hear those adults teasingly call out “Caitlynn! Where are you?”, I have another ability to shut off my hearings and keep myself in hidden mode.

Only after I think I have ‘tormented’ my seekers enough, will I uncover the sheets to reveal myself!

Hmmmm…I wonder what kind of career prospects are there out there for such talents? Hee!

Oh, by the way….can you find my photo in today’s blog posting?

No? Can’t find it?

Oh sorry…I must have forgotten to run off my hidden mode..:-P

And while you may still be trying to search for my photo, how about enjoying this delightful sketch from Monty Python about what may happen if Hide and Seek were to be made into an Olympic sport! Enjoy!

Basketball is truly a strange sport, but an exciting one too, if I may add. The objective is pretty simple: put the ball into the basket – hence the name ‘basketball’. Unfortunately, the basket is usually found way high up there in the sky beyond normal reach. I suppose that’s where it becomes more challenging…

why so high one?!!!

‘Attempts’ is the word they call for shots thrown at the basket. For small kids like me, they can also be called ‘Frustrations’. It’s hard enough to heave the ball into the air, let alone make any sensible aim of it. Now if the basket was as big as my laundry basket, I guess things may be more different…

if I could only mind bend the rim...sigh.

The round thingy around the basket is typically called the ‘Rim’. If most of my balls end up bouncing off the rim, I like to call it a ‘brimful of frustrations’…

A ‘Slam Dunk’ is when one could super humanly fly up above the rim and throw down the ball through the basket, hanging on to the rim for style and photo poses. For me, I usually need an ‘Assist’ to perform this stunt, as demonstrated here by my basketball coach/Kan Pa…hee!

Air Collin with the jam! Nice assist Kan Pa!

As with all sports, there will be some form of cheating every now and then. For me, when things get rough, and with no visible assist anywhere, I will find a way to climb up above and beyond the rim and do a simple drop down….:-p Shhhhhhhhh…..I call it a ‘Free Throw’…:-p

I call it resourcefulness...

Swish! nothin' but net!
