Ever since i am out of the national service, once in a while wakes up in the morning to have breakfast with my bro. Dunno why he fancy eating at the market but i guess i still tag along lar; not a long distance to walk anyway. Of coz along the way and during the breakfast we will talk about issues revolving domestic affairs( i am really an old man liao), esp revolving my dad. Once we talked about our dad, we can't stop complaining...
Today as usual is another day of breakfast with him, and after that he got to go for his exam while i went back home. He told me how fussy we 'A' level students can be, criticising how picky and captious we are about our job selection. To some extent he is right lar, but then i guess we jc students sometimes really deserve better jobs hehe... On and on he told me about having a job to learn and gain experience rather than looking on at the pecuniary value of it.
Yes i am now impoverished, impecunious, but i am still adamant that nothing can trample me to make my spirits for today diminutive. I am high today, coz later gona have another game of tennis with my buddy. K lar, he might not be that a professionally trained coach but at least he still can teach me the basic fundamentals which are good enough for me.
He taught me the various ways to hold the racquet, and the actions adopted after returning a ball, what drop shots are..etc. Of coz i was pretty fervent in wanting to learn how to serve the ball but it was kinda too soon for me to learn that in juz that first game i had with him.
Hmm that's about it, a short anecdote of my brief acquaintance with tennis. Whether i am going to like it in the long run is still too early to say...
One thing i realise is that tennis can be real shag.....coz it really uses quite abit of ur shoulder muscles and others which u have seldom used it before. At the end of the day, aches pervaded the whole body.. Edwin also told me tennis can easily injure u for life... something noteworthy huh?
