tennis training is just gonna get tougher
reached at about 12ish but it was drizzling
so we slacked around outside de office
as usual de boys were hooked onto their psps
de rain finally stopped and we could start to play
warmups was ten rounds around de courts
me and abi paced and we finished it
but stupid darren SO DID NOT!
we were constantly in front of him
yet he claimed he finished before us
SUCHA CHEAT LA !
den stretching and footwork drill
its damn confusing
okay actually not but i was in a un-focus mode
start from singles sideline
sprint to net
run backwards to service line
sidestep to centre line
sprint to net
run backwards to service line
sidestep to other singles sideline
sprint to net
run backwards to base den go onto another court
twas tiring
my stupid back still hurts
and its going down my leg
it is so annoying
im almost finishead de course of meds given by de uhwc doctor
but its not improving
i still cant even turn in bed at night
this back muscle pull has already lasted 3 going on to 4 weeks
and it shows no sign of recovering
i still choose to believe its a muscle pull
abi thinks i should go for a proper check
next we played davis cup games
played against abi darren drina den nato
i managed to rally natos shots and its de greatest feeling
den drills again
first set of drills we did serve and return serve
de annoying girl kept hitting down de line when it was supposed to be crosscourt
me and abi were exasperated
den de next set of drills was moving around de four cones
hitting backhand
double quick step forward hit forehand den move back going round de courts
continuous without stopping
this is like abis fave drill
i suck at return serve
coachie thinks im not patient
i keep forcing my strokes
which explains why my muscles are grossly huge
even wenna thinks my muscles are gross okay
my right arm is obviously bigger than my left
which is like UGLY
den it started raining again
lounged outside de office
coachie ended de training
went to change and wash my hair
and darren was damn funny
darren: eh ! you bathe ah !?!?!?!me: no la !we hung around to talk to matthew and jingzhe
they damn cute la
small kids talk la haha
abi is damn upset cos nato is from team ***
figure it out yourself
hahaha abi im damn nice and decide not to disclose
hahaha actually cos im scared he knows we call him nato
headed down to marina for lunch
den i brought abi one HUGE ROUND around brasbasah
to de number two busstop
my childhood place
everythings just so familiar
it was like a nostalgic feeling that was surging
took bus two and de funniest thing happened
we were on bus two
den many people started getting up de bus
and there was thins pungent smell
it was really really bad
de bus driver this quite young indian driver wcould smell it too
and he went canyou move inside please
cos de smelly giy was like near him
i was standing opposite abi
so i decided to mouth de words damn smelly to abi
through de rearview mirror
he saw me mouth those words
and he started to laugh damn hard
and i was kinda embarassed and amused at de same time
it was hilarious okay
de busdriver and i were like totally trying to control
i was even biting my cheeks
but we just couldnt help it
reached my house
and we just lounged around in my room
den we headed to tm to get my vs hair styler
damn good a deal seriously
den we headed down to simpang
and just had a nice dinner under de stars
headed back and my mom was like watching incredible tales in my room
and i just hid under de blanket
she thinks im a major wuss okay
but i just dont like de fear
as it is i need to leave a bedside light on before i switch off my lights
i hate darkness and de quiet
spookiness
my legs are aching damn badly now
especially my thighs that feel overstretched
patience
coachie keeps emphasizing patience
i lack de patience
i want every single shot of mine to be a winner
i attack like crazy
and cos my minds so focused on attacking i neglect my defence
coachie said i should rally find de chance to atack den whack
but i guess ive never been de kind to be patient
im really shortfused and impatient
guess tennis really speaks about ones character
coachie can tell our characters from de way we play
him and his sports psychology
trainings are so weird without coach raymond
its seriously sad that he's leaving
no one to be de clown and joker
though he suans us ALL THE TIME
but hes a good coach la
undeniably
i better work on my stamina soon
better hit de pool soon
i dont know why i still worry
