There were no spectators, heck we didn’t even have a scorer. But these 5 brave men took one last stand on Court 5 (the one right down the very end) to continue the legacy for one more game.

In the end we failed, 39-27 I think it was, but I think we all gave it our best. We were out numbered from the start, with TGA having something like 8-9 players as well as a cheer squad. They weren’t that skillful of a team but their youth, height and speed wore us down in the end. We put the first points on the boards and I think it was 5-0 before they started to score. By half time, we were down by 1 at 14-13 but when second half came I think we were just all too buggered. Their offence wasn’t crash hot but they kept penetrating the key and our offence just didn’t follow through/finish either. We missed quite a few freethrows and had a few turnovers as well. We couldn’t execute our normal Phil-cheery-picks effectively cos they just got back there too damn quick most of the time. Still, it was something like 32-27 with about 3 mins to go and we kept fouling them to send them to the line (9 fouls on us) but despite their constant misses, we couldn’t convert.

Highlights for the game were:
- The fact that we all qualified to play in the finals
- Cheeks blocking one of the tall guys who scored on him earlier (#50)
- Harng taking a baseline drive and hitting the backboard
- Harng playing at all
- Harng then deciding to have a run up and down the court AFTER the game finished (’Alan Syndrome’??)
- Phil not fouling out
- Any of us not fouling out (we did have 5 on court as the other team so kindly offered to provide a scorer)
- Me whacking Harng with my bony elbow as I came down from a rebound
- The other big basketballs sitting on the side of the court

And so, the era ends…

So, another weekend, another week. Went out with Gin in the fabulous 30 degree Melbourne weather yesterday to go watch the cycling road race. Got there just in time as they were up to the fourth last lap. Managed to find a nice spot near the finish line and ended up seeing the Aussie (forgot his name already) take over and win in the last lap (there was a big screen TV near the finish line so that was cool).

HP/Yang, where did you guys end up camping out?

So how’s day 1 at work Hay? Sick of it yet? Or does it actually seem interesting?

Anh, taking any of the coffee or snacks home yet?

BTW Ash, Gin’s asked her mum and she’ll get the number for the alarm guy tomorrow.

Originally received from HP as an email, but I thought this was worth posting… and I can’t believe it’s the real deal!
