Hazy

The weather is dreary. Its like London. Boring. I wonder how the people living near the hazy affected areas are coping. It must be terrible. Everything here times a million plus the sad fact that its their own country that's on fire but maybe for foreign benefit as well. Politics and business. Sad.

Just like Sports and Business. Apparently you cant just have talent and play. You need to abide by rules. RULES RULES RULES. Rules from associations, governmental organisations, international rules etc and I dont mean rules of the sport. Sad. My dear girl is facing problems and I'll stop at that. And the worst part of rules are is that is was set by people. People who may not have the right intentions. Sad.

Its a sad sunday.(today is sunday) NO tennis this Sunday. Relatives came over, made my usual Thai Pineapple Rice and Grilled stuff. ss made salad with mango. If you see how many recipe books i have you'll wonder why i cook the same thing over and over again.

Had tennis lessons on Fri though. Great stuff! Learnt how to return serve. where to stand, how to read the ball. split step, turn body. REACT fast. Thats the key. I love open drills. Went down to Marche for a huge mug of beer after. got 15% discount with HSBC or Citibank. Coole. Bought new tennis shoes. Nike , pink colour for $59.90 at Why pay more. They seem to be on permanent clearance sale.

Had tennis on Sat too. Volley. Cant get the hang of it. Apparently you cant just lounge for the ball, you have to shuffle till you get the right momentum to lounge for it. Then there is the issue of racquet face, the slice volley, the drive volley or the punch volley or the drop volley or even smash of the ball goes way over. Damn. Then there is the issue to the stun factor when the ball comes directly at you. I mean , yeah you should shift and move to either side, but its like when you are standing on the road, about to cross it and a car comes out from nowhere almost abt to hit you. Physically you are able to run and mentally you know what you shd do but the stun factor puts you in a spot where you just stand and stare. you know. thats why accidents happen. stupid. Then you just close your eyes and cover your head, denial. Deny that you are in a situation where you can be in control but just give up the chance to be... due to the stun factor.

Gosh, if i were to be pushed onto the MRT tracks I think I'll just get crushed. Where got time to hide under the tracks and crouch etc. Ok I think I better stick to driving. At least got some metal and an airbag (does my car have one? hmmm....) to protect me.

Well well, its a depressing Sunday. even my dessert of baked bananas with choc and marshmellows (with Baileys with a hint of caramel) and ice cream cant cheer me up.

What lies ahead in the week. More boredoom.

Anyway, i went to Bottle tree Village for the 3rd time this month! Went with Ah kuo. Made everyone try the curry fish head. The chili crab was terrible. the mongolian prawn balls were great. the mee goreng was excellent. everything else was ordinary. they opened the gate and we could see Pasir Gudang in Johor. They say Bottle Tree Village used to be the Sembawang Sea sports centre.

Kampung Wak Hassan.near Sembawang park. My dad says Wak Hassan got ambushed there once. Anyway, there are villas by the beach there. so nice!

Nokia 6288. I have not changed my phone since 2002. Whats wrong with paying more for 3G? Besides the fact that i'm not too rich this month, i dont see whats wrong with getting it. Right. I'll wait till Valentine's Day next year. Price shd have dropped far enuf my then, can bb?

I'm serious. The weather is affecting my mood. I'm hazy. going crazy. Someone play tennis with me PLEASE!!!!

By the way, HAPPY CHILDRENS' DAY!
