2 hr tennis with Yann and 1 hr chill out at the sofa. I just wish that he can be a little stronger and I’m sure he can tide through this shit that he is facing.

I played lousily just now.

Over and out.

Hey, anybody knows where FANCL is?

Coaching

Earlier on, i coached Mintie min on basic tennis. She was improving as the hours passed and i hope she enjoyed as much as she learned from me. This is the first time i ever taught someone something and i sincerely hope it would be a perennial tennis journey for both of us.

As i taught, i learned more about my own tennis as well – there should more controlling of the ball especially if i were to do a cross-court and my serves could be improved. My groundstrokes are fine. As always, my slice sucks and i do need some coaching on that as well. Maybe my sis’s friend Sze Leong should step in. Maybe we should all play doubles too.

3 English blokes were playing tennis next to us and their tennis were wicked. Mint was feeling a little demoralized by their prowess but i reminded her that this is her first time stepping into the tennis court and hit a ball. Be inspired, i told her, not demoralized. :)

Anyway, my k-factor is starting to warm itself up to me; HS told me on Friday that my shots are getting harder and faster. Looks like the nano-technology in the racket is materializing. Great.

Ok, gotta go for dinner.
