Badminton yesterday...

Yesterday, my classmates arranged a badminton outing at Tampines west cc, which was only about a 5 min walk from Temasek poly. We arranged that because class ended at 1 so we can play the whole afternoon. About 10 of us went, which was about half of the class. The people who turned up were me, Thar Hwe, How Cher, Allen, Shenglong, Wenbin, Eldred, Min Hui, Audrey, Jiamin and Michelle. Ganesh only accompanied us to lunch and left after lunch. Lunch was at a coffeeshop near CC as fast food outlets are full. After that, we went to the CC and book two courts for 2 hrs. At first, I let the rest play while I watched them cos I know I am not as good as them. After watching them play, it was funny. Jerald and How Cher are good in skills. Thar Hwe good in speed. Allen and ELdred are also quite competitive. Michelle was a strong player despite a female. The other 3 also had skills. Shenglong and Wenbin was a nice duo. They always made me laugh when they play. Thier skills are good and funny. After about an hour, Shenglong, Thar Hwe and I went to a nearby supermarket to buy 4 500ml coke, 3 1.5 litre 100 plus, 2 bottles of mineral water and 1 500ml root beer for everyone. Upon returning, they had already fixed team for a tournament. Every team was mixed except 1 which consists of both guys. I am the lucky 1 and teamed up with Jerald. The rest are spread out evenly. Our 1st opponent was shenglong and wenbin. A funny match. We won and fought Eldred and jiamin next. They were defeated before the match but won the revival round. Tough match but won. In the finals, we faced How Cher and Michelle. A very very strong team. We deuced until the 23rd point b4 we won. The last smash by me was a very lucky one. I smashed and it hits the net but goes over. I felt that I pulled Jerald down but he said it was ok. Just a game. Then wenbin and Thar Hwe left after i See them out. I went back as I needed the toilet. Played captains ball after that. All those who wore the business t shirt vs the others. So it was me, Allen, Min Hui, Jiamin and Audrey vs Jerald, How Cher, Eldred and Shenglong. Did not count points but just play for fun. Left around 6.30 with How Cher. What a tiring day.
