hi guys! have u been exercising lately? haha! i just did!
i joined the table tennis club yesterday and played from 7:30-10:30pm..it was really fun! oh ya! monash uni here has its own sports and recreation centre...it boasts of numerous badminton courts, baskedball courts, indoor soccer courts, squash courts, table tennis courts, a gym and an indoor swimming pool...isnt tt great?! this is the 1st campus i study in tt has its own fully equipped sports centre! so must make full use of it!
gotta know chua, wei yun and one more guy from sparring wif them in table tennis last nite..well, i didnt play against chua coz he's too pro for me to play against..haha! after having not played table tennis for more than 4 yrs..i really have lost touch of it...my reflexes are really bad...i cant return smashes and my placing (in terms of standing positions) is really bad...
but at least i can still do my top spin smashes! haha! tt's the only thing i m only good at for now...gotta work on my backhand smashes for now...but overall, i think i did not bad given my circumstances...
then this morning, i played badminton wif rachel, antonius, christian, ian and sophie. we played frm 8am to 10am! yes! 8am!!!! very early..coz tt was the only time a court was available for us to play on...sighz..had to wake up at 7am..but the game was really fun. played singles and doubles...didnt play too well...haha! in terms of my wins and losses..u can guess which outweighed the other...lolx!
finally managed to play against rachel after so long...and as expected, i lost to her 15-2. i said expected coz she plays badminton once a week back in malaysia and is definitely a class above me..if not many more classes above me in terms of skill and deception...she gained most of the points frm net shots..sighz..
one thing i realised in my badminton game today (at least i have the brains to realise this..haha) is tt after i return a long shot from an opponent, i seem to be stuck at tt location. i fail to move back to the middle of the court after returning the shot...as a result, many of my opponents that i played against always give me net shots, causing me to make a futile effort to sprint towards the net from the back of the court in attempt of returning the shuttle...sighz..
and one more flaw i always make is tt i dun make my oponents run enough...this has something to do wif my skill..instead of hitting the shuttle away from the opponent, somehow it keeps going to the opponent. although i try to hit it away from the opponent, most of the return shots always head in the direction of the opponent...darn! anywayz, after doing my analysis today, i think i can win them wif my speed..since most of the opponents are not too fast and r quite tall (except ian...lolx!) so, as much as i move them around the court, i oso have to be quick to return to position to anticipate and recover the next shot...understand? haha!
to summarise wat i wrote for badminton, i aspire to be as good as ian...coz he is tt darn good! haha!
gotta rest my legs now..aching here and there...
we must play more of badminton guys! my racquet will always be ready for u! haha!
