Badminton Rocks

Been badmintoning quite intensively for the past few days since last week. Today is tues and played in the tuesday group again. HAHA, this time got malaysian state player! woots! and i teamed with him. Today didn't play as much because I call wz go also, and then so more pple less chance to play right? Today got like 8 pple and like 1 court, but one thing I like best is the shuttles r sooo good, AS-40 u know, and we don't even have to pay a single cent. Those uncles r really nice. Actually, I would brand them way higher than normal uncles. All of them are pretty good and probably Im the worst. Perhaps not speed-wise, but technically. Yeps

Wz arm pain cause his trying to do backhand lob. Actually he can do already, but his one like no speed. Not that I know how to do backhand lob, but it's like u know, Ive already given up on doing it. I use to be able to do ABIT of it, but now like totally forgotten. Aww shrugs, but nevermind. Backhand is NOT everything, I have to get my around e head pretty stable first and Im working hard on it!!!. JIAYOU! hahax. and i realize using around the head improves my game ALOT, esp in singles. I just realize how many points I usually lose on my backhand.

Played 3 hours today. Not really shag, im fine. 30 min of singles was the most tiring, doubles wasn't tiring at all. I mean, yeah, 2 pple, one court, it's like singles without the running. It's a totally different game though. I used to only love singles and dread doubles, but now, im fine with both. doubles rocks as well!

Today I arrived slightly late ( like 5-10 min). and we only booked 1 hour. And then some uncles wanted to play doubles with us. And they were damn dulan and quite retarded. we din want to play with them as we only had like 1 hour to train singles but they were like very persistant. We played and they were like omgosh, quite noob lah. They're fine, I don't really like calling people noobs, but the way they talk very loudly and boss us around is too much. Even though we r children, (yeah students), but we r pro-er than u....so, don't give us soo much shit. Wz didn't like them either...but we were kinda being friendly. I don't even put my racket up while playing with them, is like totally no motivation. waste of time. not fun de. lalalala.

Ok back to the malaysia state player. I mean, Ex state player. His old and his good. Quite a tall guy, though old, he looks fit. He has really nice netting and he took Wz smashes with great ease, and he was OMGOSH flicking it back (not just lifting but flicking). Ok that shows how much he has to work on, And ME. im like soo ubber disappointed with my smash. I smashed & smashed from the backcourt continously like 5-6 times and I still can't finish the rally. Usually I would win the points that I took the initiative and attack, (via smash,drop,clears), but I can't win solely by smashing. Im no muscle-man and I have a damn skinny arm, I need more power, I feel weak!!! Wz was teaming with the msian state player's friend so I guess he was good as well. He was a very all-round player with solid defense and attack. But somehow I think my flick serves caught him. I wonder why. Lost that game 15-13 i think. At the end, the msian state player told me my strokes are all already there and now it's making it better (or more perfect). He said all the best and train hard!! yep, i surely will! feeling 100% motivated.

Tmr going badminton again i guess. Badminton rocks too much. When i see myself reaching another level, I will treat myself to the new armotech 900. LOL. that racket just rocks lah, haha. though racket don't play a big part in lower levels like what we are playing now....but still, it's like so tempting. Im like a fan of rackets and I just wanna collect for the sake of collecting. Aww shrugs, it's not out yet..

Super irrelavant post here. I know. And yea speaking of badminton-gear I saw a noob with a flashy red shirt, dressed very pro-ly but he misses shots, and uggh the other 3 pple on the court were wearing outing clothes and 3/4 pants. Nice one. Talk about contrast. Should have taken a pic..but I shall spare him from the humilation..

Ugghhh. My leg lots of blisters and I nida cut my toe nail if not it's going to break upon impact from taking shots at the forecourt. haha.

I shall end my post here. And just to motivate myself, " im obssessed with around the head!' woots!
