Description: Feel free to contribute to this thread!

I play competitive basketball, and I write songs (mostly Metal).

Basketball (And1 style) and music bears many similarities to card flourishing - trying to beat myself.

It's like playing Street Fighter II 3rd Impact on single player mode until I can kill Gill with a 13 hit combo (hasn't happen, and probably won't).

*holler!

Wow ... Cool ... And1 Style ... Hahahaha ~ Love those movements man ~

Hmm... Used to play Basketball before i got into magic, but currently my hobbies are Magic(Flourishing and Etc) and just Working out in the gym.

I play the guitar, been taking lessons on and off for sometime and haven't really practiced much lately.

I also play bridge for NUS, it's contract bridge so it's different from floating bridge that most people start with. Any other bridge players here? Too bad my limited card skills don't help very much at the table :P

I actually gave up guitar few years back, unless if there's someone who is willingly to teach this Musical Instrument idiot here. Hahahaha ~

Oh crap, i have too many hobbies, but too little time...

-- I depend on life on this : METAL music! (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, HIM!) (hey 30210162, you? )
-- Magic and flourishing (to make my life exciting.)
-- reading (vampires, Anne Rice, occult, gothic, new age, religions, sciences etc all things weird.)
-- trying to write some Black metal lyrics here and there. (hey 30210162, we should meet up or chat online about our common interest. Cool.)

Cool!

I see a couple of rockclimbers!! Hey... lets go climb one of these days!

I'm also taking up some guitar lessons, I'll be glad to practice with anyone who's interested in learning. By taking guitar lessons, it of coz means that I'm not good. Hahaha....


BuaYa - February 6, 2005 04:13 AM (GMT)
My favourite saying: Rock Climbing Rocks.

[Ling] - February 6, 2005 04:35 AM (GMT)
Oh i tried rock climbing at some camps, it's quite fun although it is quite taxing on the arms and fingers with those tiny gripping things. And the commands are somewhat dumb. No offend, climbers. B)

iewgnod - February 6, 2005 04:40 AM (GMT)
basketball
lan gaming
Tv B)

AlexWong - February 7, 2005 01:51 AM (GMT)
Haha... The command's ain't there to be cool, they're there for safety reasons. Actually, climbers do it so naturally that we aren't even totally conscious of it after awhile.

Lets go Yishun Safra someday to climb k? :)

Barney - March 6, 2005 07:04 PM (GMT)
Am kinda curious about the members of SMC.. Magic can't be your ONLY hobby, right? I mean, seriously. What other interests/ hobbies do u guys have or what else do u do (especially the big guys here a.k.a. the Moderators)?

I'll start with myself. Besides magic, i'm also a musician (and informal music teacher)..

What about YOU? (btw, pls don't self intro..)

Winder - March 6, 2005 11:15 PM (GMT)

- Competitive Swimming
- Writing
- Cracking my knuckles
- Stand-up comedy (Stephen Lynch, Dane Cook)
- Christian theology
- Christian-related stuff
- Video Editing
- Movie directing/filming
- Roller Coasters/Theme-park-related-architecture
- Music (pop/punk/rock, no country/heavy metal crap)
- Spending 80% of the time talking about how Singapore sucks
- Spending the other 20% of the time wishing someone would bring up Singapore so I could talk about how it sucks evenmore
- Socialising
- Sucking at socialising
- Pretending to be a power ranger (for some weird reason I have the feeling this seems to be linked with the one right above this)

Yeah, so for the moment, that's pretty much it. Later.
