just came home from my second badminton session for this mth. it was...smashin(: and i improved! more speed, more accuracy...just still not enough
power >.< and my arm didnt hurt one bit. last wk it started burning just after 15mins!
ohh and i realised today there's a nasty little badminton alliance in the church badminton club. catherine, ling an, jason and vincent (twins), and another jason, are actually from Riccarton High School badminton school team! sheesh. i felt so tiny and betrayed T_T booo. thankfully there's still jamie, stephany and jacob (siblings), who play for fun but are pretty good too. hehh. according to catherine, there are alot of Burnside students in the church too, it's just that they've gone back to taiwan for the summer hols. yay so when they return, i'll get my own Burnside alliance! hopefully(:
but catherine and older twin have been really nice when they're playing with amateurs like me. they go easy on us but they still win eventually. by a small margin. but still. anw. catherine said jamie and i play pretty well. we just need more practise. so maybe one day i'll be good enough to play with the pros.
i learnt alot from the games actually. like when we play doubles, it's really abt trust and teamwork. knowing the style of your partner and knowing each other's limits. sometimes when the cock comes shuttling over my head and i'll go, "oh no thats it then..they score one." but then miraculously, my partner will hit it from behind like an angel. then we'll end up scoring. so thats how it works. in pairs.
but it's different when we play in singles. i dont like playing in singles actually. kindda lonely and the court seems alot bigger. harder to play.
ok so enough abt the badminton stuffs.
things are really startin to fall into place now. and im hopin after school starts, i'll have a normal life again. but im really missin my frens in singapore and when i go blog surfing and emailing them, i get a little pang in my heart, coz life goes on as usual for them and even though they complain and rant, i can tell they're still glad to be with their frens there.
so, like, i kindda feel a little jealous when i read abt their lives. they still go cine to watch movie, take neos, eat at pastamanic...all the things i used to do. and it's so sad for me to think that everything is still the same in singapore, even without me. but of coz i know my frens havent forgotten me. it's just a rotten feeling i get. so now im not really readin blogs anymore. but i know u guys still are! so thanks for still showing concern for me(: i'll be praying for u ppl!
oh and read Psalm 32(:
