Quote of the WEEK - Addressed to CP!

" The Court SO BIG

Also You Want to HIT OUT aaah!? "

- Badminton Coach to CP

CP have a very verbose badminton coach. Whilst playing doubles he hit the shuttle out and the result was the above words addressed to him. If anybody knows LCW, the Sidek brothers or any National Player - Please ask them whether their coach had ever uttered such words to them?

Finally, Playing with the BIG BOYS!

1st Time Playing BADMINTON Singles.

For whatever reason, his coach asked him to play singles during the 2-hours badminton training today.

CP played 5 sets and was totally exhausted when he reached home just before Maghrib.

One Door Closes, Another OPENS! Badminton @Desa Petaling

Due to a twist of fate, hAnA did not make the KL team for this year.

However, as the saying goes - " One Door Closes, Another Opens ".
Today, she'll be representing the school in the Bangsar Zone Badminton tournament which is being held at Desa Petaling. Should be good experience and exposure for her.

All the Best, hAnA.

BADMINTON starts TODAY @DBKL Hall

Restarting the kids session after a 2months hiatus. The physical conditioning will be good  for their general well being as well as academic and co-curricular activities.

.......and as expected Coach asks them to start training with 10laps around the hall, WaQAQA!

Mental Note: Need to get new rackets or restring old rackets.

PS: Still mulling when to restart Tae Kwan Do.

BADMINTON starts TODAY!

Academic stuff and mind games makes hAnA and the cHEss pIRATE dull kids.
Hence, they start badminton lessons today for 2 hours under the guidance of Mr.Leong at the DBKL Community Hall.

By virtue of being an ex-District Player for Seremban(a fact which I just found out today after almost 17years of marriage), the Islamic Estate Planner will be their Badminton Manager cum Resident Coach. More "down-time" for me, Whew!I made a good call to send them for Badminton.
