I finally took up my badminton racket once again..
Hoho, Monday was a fantastic day for me. Family-cum-sports day for me and jw's family. It feels good to be able to see the sun on Monday morning, without having to dash to catch the bus or mrt. Hehe. I luv annual leave.
Aniwae, having the debate of going swimming or playing badminton, jw and I decided to take the easy way out and catch a game of badminton @ Hougang Sports Hall. But well, the best thing is, his parents and xuanxuan (she's only 2 years old u noe) are gonna join us!! Ain't that amazing? His parents have not played badminton for over a decade, so it's really quite fascinating to see them dressed up in sports gear with their right hand holding the racket. Way cool!!~ There was a lot of laughter on court, despite the fact that we have to keep an eye on the ever energetic xuanxuan, who kept running into other pple's courts and insisted that she wans a REAL racket instead of the toy one that we bought for her. Kids are darn smart nowadays. Luckily we had foresight and brought along 5 rackets instead of 4. =)
In the afternn, jw and I went to PS for a walk. We played arcade and got conned of six bucks trying to win that cheaterbug Playstation Portable. You noe, those machines whereby the lever moves up and down and once pass +5 the prize will drop. But I reckon it's formulated such that you would always kanna a negative no. and then be tempted to try again and again and again cos it's so near yet so far. (-_-''') Oh well, but we saw a man, presumably rich one, who spent tonnes of money on the catch dolls machines and won a Stitch and gigantic Doraemon. Reminds me of the time when we were in Taiwan, also trying our best to use tens of dollars to catch the teeny weeny 50 cents toy.
We also ate KFC!! Do you noe that I luv KFC?? Haha. Hmmm. Yummy yummy. Cos I love fried chicken. Keke. But too bad jw doesn't like non Chinese food and my fast food eating habits have cut down alot compared to the younger days. (oh man, which reminds me I'm gonna be 1/4 century old next yr).Thinking that my day has been sweet and eventful? That's not yet though. =) After we finished our Carrefour shopping in PS, we headed down to Textile Centre at Beach Rd to meet his parents, xuanxuan, and bro and sis-in-law. Well well, what's there to do at Textile Centre rite.. Hehe.. Surprise surprise, they actually have quite cheap bowling facilities there!!!~ So all of us went to bowl together, except for Shanmei coz her delivery date is next month lor. Junwei said she herself can roll up and become a big big ball. So farnie!!
Goodness, it's either I'm really lousy at bowling or jw's family is quite a pro at this. All of them can easily hit over 100pts, or 150pts for the guys, whereas my first game was only 68. No spare no strike no turkey. *faintz* Even auntie did quite well even though she doesn't run, but merely walks to the start of the lane and releases the ball. Kaoz. I tried different weights ball, but figured out the reason lies in me, not the balls. Wahaha. Jw said my throws got a natural curl though, so keeps gg to the side. But well, my 2nd game I had 3 spares!!~ Hehe. Even though total score still 83 only, but not bad lar. Considering I bowl like once in a few years. Hehe. Was really happy though. Could see all the smiles on their faces and everyone was enjoying to the max. =) Even little xuanxuan, who will always give you a mini hi-five when you finished your turn. Ke ai. The nite ended with dinner at Golden Mile, my mummy's fav steamboat place. Warm, tasty, nice, comfortable. What more can I ask for.. =) Oh and so qiao seated at the table next to us were Patricia Mok, Vivian Lai and their producers I guess. I tot mo xiaoling looked so much nicer in person. =)
That's it for my Monday. I reached home as a happy and contented gal with an aching arm. Keke. & what's next... Of cos it's to watch my Hana Kimi again.. Lalala..
