That is acronym for "Basketball For Unity", a basketball league program embarked by Ozone Event, trying to comercialize and popularize basketball, hopefully will become something like NBA in US.
Old timer like me, after hearing the remuneration that they offer, as well the program that they described, decided to commit to it 3 weeks ago. Since then, i joined 14 other players selected, the youngest was 18yrs old, and the oldest, which is me is 28yrs old (that is where the old timer coined >_<), gone through 6 times of hell like trainings (really tough for me as i am not as fit as i was when 18), and now looking forward to the starting of the whole league... The feeling, can be described like the feeling of taking the plane for the very first time, or the feeling of 1st day at school, full of anticipation, or may be i am just exaggerating :)
Anyhow, am looking forward to the experience that i am going to have. Of course, nothing comes without a price. Along with the package, 3 times training per week during weekdays after work, 2 days tournament over the weekend, venue rotating among Penang, Perak, KL & Melaka, 8 teams competing (Perak, Penang, Melaka, Johor & 4 teams from KL) and last until November. It is going to be a challenging and discipline life, rotating between work, basketball and traveling. Well, this also mean that i will miss all the time with my usual surrounding friends, colleagues & family until November. Lesser movie outing, lesser meal together, lesser outdoor events together, may be lesser blogging... Give and take, hope that after November, i will be welcomed back >_<
Take care.
