The Culture Comes Home

The Culture Comes Home
me and my mum skipped yoga. haha. but we won't do it again, i promise! (not in the next month or so larh, at least)

i don't know why today i feel like i'm in a fucked-up mood. my left eye is swollen, and i didn't get a peaceful night's rest yesterday. don't know why. things happen.

anyway, i saw some pretty amazing things this week on the web. i surfed to thestar.com (malaysia's leading english newspaper) and bumped into this story of this rookie the New York Knicks' NBA team winning the slam dunk contest by jumping over his friend. get a load'a this man. nate robinson is only 5' 9"! that's not even a 6'. but he's not the shortest guy to win the slam dunk contest. the shortest was spud webb, 5' 7". (remember that name)

you know how nate robinson (5' 9", current winner) won? he got that 5' 7" guy, spud webb to stand in the 'zone' while he started his run from the half-court mark. he then passed the ball to webb, who lobbed it upwards to robinson, who would now be running at full steam straight to webb. robinson catches the ball, and jumps over his friend, and dunks it!!! sick stuff man!!! check it out at http://www.nba.com/allstar2006/gallery/DunkContest_1.html there's a little grey box with the photo captions and the photo number on the left of the picture. click next to view the pictures in sequence.

inspiration for short people? haha, nah. it was just amazing to watch.

starting work!
