ASU Basketball "James Harden Beard Night"

Ok, so I’ve golfed a bit in the last couple of days, shot some rough rounds 90, 89, & 103. All that is a side note to my amazing ASU basketball game experience. I did the typical pre game routine, show up early tour around and head down to courtside to watch warm ups. I relocated to my seat which was right by the tunnel the teams come out from. I had received an email from ASU athletics before I left informing me that the night would be “James Harden Beard Night”. At the game I was rocking my OKC #13 Harden jersey in hopes that he might be in attendance and just to look fly lol. 

The game is about to start and I see an assistant coach talking to a security guard and mouthed “james harden” and pointed down the tunnel. I jumped out of my seat looked over and sure enough the bearded man was walking towards the court. I grab my pen and head straight for him. Like a the pumped up basketball fan that I am, I start yelling ‘James! James!’ He looks over at me and I ask him to sign my jersey. I’m the only person in the arena rocking his OKC jersey, so he of course says “yah!”. It was unfortunate that the highlight of my night happened before the game even started but It was AWESOME!.

The Phoenician

After getting settled in yesterday, I woke up bright and early (6:am) to tackle the first course of the trip...The Phoenician at Scottsdale, Phoenix. A very mature course built on a luxurious resort was filled with wonderful scenery that sun valley has to offer. Playing from the back tees with the big boys I shot a whooping 90! I put together a nice 43 on the front nine, but had some trouble off the tee in the back nine and penciled in a 47. A very narrow course with long par 3’s made for some difficulties with a wild ace like me on the tee. Check out the website here (The Phoenician) if you wanna see how amazing this course looked. enjoi

Well November has snuck up on us once again, and has made me another year older. I just wanted to take the time to thank all my friends and family for supporting me in everything that I do. I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish the huge strides in my life with out your help. I appreciate everything and thank you for making my birthday a great one! enjoi

"I Ate All Your Candy"

ASU Basketball

Might have to bust out my James Harden jersey for my trip to Arizona to watch ASU take on New Mexico in some NCAA basketball action. The tickets have been purchased and I will be catching a game and a couple rounds of golf; which is the main reason I'm going. Look forward to the week get away before I start my new job as a K-5 physical education teaching for the rest of the year.. oh yah forgot to tell some of you, I'm a full time working man.

Summer where did you go?

August 10th? really? Feels like summer just started but with a blink of an eye boom! we only have a couple more weeks to enjoy the rays and nice weather. My summer being spent out at camp has been quite a long task, with the camp being extended an extra week. The camp has been great but being stuck in a gym in the middle of no where can be draining after a month.

I am really looking forward to spending the rest of summer hanging out with friends, golfing and just enjoying what summer has to offer. This is just a random post but i know a couple of other individuals that may feel the same way haha.

Still a couple of highlights to look forward too:

The House of Dancing Water

The House of Dancing Water tag line on their promational poster is "a show like no other" and that statement is 100% true! A water based show that goes beyong any other stage show I've ever seen or heard of. The show has it all from dance, gymnastics, acting, diving, moto cross, water, lights, multiple stages, it has it all! The show took over 2 Billion Hong Kong dollars to make and they have been selling out The City Dreams Hard Rock Cafe venue in Macau consistantly. I have placed two clips, the first being a trailer and the second giving you a more behind the scenes look of The House of Dancing Water. enjoi

Hong Kong Picture of the Day

Picture I took of a fishing boat at Sha Tay Kok.

Made It!

Well everybody I made it. A couple of delays and a cancelled flight couldn't hold me back from making it back to the homeland aka Hong Kong. The following day was straight to business and one of the reasons I came down here, had to get my Hong Kong citizenship. We first went down to get some paperwork done so I could get into a restricted area that my parents were staying, that went smooth. I then went down to immigration to apply for my citizenship. After some paperwork, finger printing and a photo...boom! complete, the offical card will be ready in a couple of weeks but until then I received a temporary paper version.
After all the offical stuff, my dad took me down to some of the street markets to shop and tour around. I picked up some goodies and saw a lot of cheap eletronics that were fake. I am pretty sure iPhones for $40 sold on the street won't be lasting to long haha, even though I was very temped to give them a shot my father told me other wise haha. Well thats all I have for now... enjoi
Ps. pretty mean mug in that photo hey? haha

My Back Hurts

Doing nothing is really hard and boring.... I say this because i recently got knee surgury and i'm currently laying around doing nothing. It's been a long couple of days of icing and elevating my leg, which has resulted in lower back pain. My leg is gross and massive but i'm on the road to recovery. There are some pros to this situation though:

1. Playoffs - i've been watching all the playoff games in the NBA and NHL

2. Nurse - I have my bro and his girlfriend (who is a nurse) to look after me, move me around and get me stuff :)

3. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - I've been able to purchase season 1 and 2 and have my own personal FNL marathons.

So, if your home alone and want to do something, or wanna catch some playoff hockey or basketball just give me a ring because you'll know where i'll be. enjoi

ps. thanks to Mich, Cflow, and C Watchorn for coming by and keeping me company.

Officially Mr. Sung

 All done my friends! It's officially over; I am done my education program as of yesterday! My last day of student teaching was a sad one because it is always tough to say goodbye and to leave such an amazing situation. My teaching block was amazing, I had such supportive teachers, students that were really nice and fun, an over all great school. 

This is crazy…. I remember writing my blog post about starting my education program and "two more years" has finally come to an end. The time flew by and I am no longer a "student', but someone looking for a job haha. The feelings of excitement, nervousness and uncertainty are all combined right now during this time. I know the right job and opportunity will arise,  just have to wait my turn. 

I just want to thank all my friends, family and people that supported me through my years in post secondary education.  I don't think I could've gotten my degrees with out having the supports and outlets from all of you, so THANK YOU.

Ugh... House Music

So when I was in Montreal for a basketball trip is where my true hatred for house music grew. We went to a New Years Eve bash down there and the DJ only had house music, it was by far the most boring dance night of my life. How are you suppose to dance to the same song for 5 hours with no lyrics? One of my players recently posted this video that helps get my point across about how aweful house music is....enjoi
