This is official. I will be in LA from May 30 to June 2.

Have fun in LA.

This is official. I will be in LA from May 30 to June 2.

Oh thanks, Master Viper. Will you be in town?

And where will Kwun be?

Sorry, I won't be in town. Still in SF.

Oh thanks, Master Viper. Will you be in town?

This is official. I will be in LA from May 30 to June 2.
...and i've just cancelled all of my weekend's plans, bookings, itineraries and appointments during that weekend.:cool:
Any special place of interest you'd like to go to, Master Pete???...

Would you like a limousine pick up at the airport, Master Pete??..

Wah, feel so honoured!

No place I want to go yet . . .

A limo is not required :D.

..?!?!..don't tell me you're coming to la-la land just to sleep over the weekend??..:eek:

Is Master silentheart coming in at the same time?? Or is he flying in on his private jet??..;)

Shhhhhh, it is a top secret mission. Not another word.

LA TOUR? Sounds like a concert.

I travel around.. i don't even have a TOUR to announce yet alone entourage..
Pete must be a high class travel socialite. heheheh

LA TOUR? Sounds like a concert.
..yeah, pretty soon it'll be a Pete_LSD's WORLD TOUR..;)..:p

Bamboo? No way, Panda's prefer ribeye and filet mignon from Pacific Dining Cart or prime rib from Lawry's or Sushi from Matsuhisa or if it's a middle-of-the-night run, JJ's Cafe. :D

A limo is not required :D.

Too bad, you get courtesy transportation from the Pandamobile. :p

Shhhhhh, it is a top secret mission. Not another word.


OMG, Beatless Heart, StickManPete, and Dinkie The Panda on the same court?! :eek: That match will last 2 hours with the OSS because no one will score a point, everyone will be laughing and laughing and laughing. :p

Of course, the entourage consists BC Superstars such as (in no particular order):

1) CoolD00b
2) Taneepak
3) Gollum
4) Lazy Buddy
5) Vining Wolff
6) Ants
7) Yannie
8) Jerby
9) Blue Jeff
10) Cooler

+Kung Pao Three Ingredients
+Baked Fish Filet and Cheese over Rice
+French Style Filet Mignon Cubes with Black Pepper Sauce

What you guys going to order?

Naw, no more 31lbs. string tension for Panda:crying:, break too many strings (2-3 per session), so I'm back to 28lbs. for now. Gonna try some thicker string and see if they can hold up and play well at the same time...

Greatest Panda,

Please use BG-65. LA and CA in general are very dry. Nylon should be pretty stable ;):D.

Hey, he is here already! In fact, he is stringing hard using your Eagnas/WISE setup.

Just got back from dinking with Pete, Silent, and Guava. Yes, it's 6:15am...we had to eat. :D

It was a grand ole time. Let's see, plenty of running, two strings broken and one broken racket, snapped at the shaft. Did I mention there was a lot of running? :p

It was so fun! :D:D:D

Oh yes and to confirm, PeteLSD does actually use 32.0/35.2lbs. electronic constant pulled rackets. I saw him string one and use it. I actually used it too, it felt great! :D:p

Leaving now to take Pete to LAX...ohhh traffic. :p

Pete has left SoCal. It was a pleasure meeting PeteLSD for the first time (and Silent Heart for the second). Pete must be a good luck charm or brought his secret Canadian mojo because we never once hit any appreciable traffic, it was quite unbelievable.

Thanks to BC for being here so we fellow badminton enthusiasts have a way to communicate with each other! :D

No pics ah? Dink.. u better change brand.. all your racket seems to break alot..

As for the rackets, looks like I'm back to the APACs AMP and SOTX Woven 7...

..what our Master Pete will tell and share with the rest of the VRC BC gang of his trip down south...hmm...:p

Btw, i called Master Pete y'day afternoon, and i guess i woke him up from his deep sleep. When he picked up the phone, he sounded quite surprised.:p..I asked him if i woke him up and he said "he's partly awake" and sort of mumbled through the whole conversation. Anyway, i kept it relatively short as I felt bad for waking him up; i hope he wasn't in the middle of a good dream, though.....:p :);)

Anyhoo, hope you enjoyed the weekend baddy-run in L.A., Pete!..:cool:

*sorry to miss our silentheart.:p..Is Master Steven going to stay a bit longer in L.A.??..:confused:

Hi Chris, I missed your call too. You left a message but some how I didn't receive it until later that night, so weird :confused: dang cell phones. Anyway, as you know now, we didn't play. :p

I'm not sure when Steven is leaving but he only planned to play one night with us. He said if more, he'd contact me.

No pics ah? Dink.. u better change brand.. all your racket seems to break alot..
1) we had too much fun playing badminton and laughing, we forgot to take any picture.
2) we are to tired and ready to eat after playing, we don't know how to take picture.
3) we are so deprived from sleep, we can not take picture with our eyes closed.

Sorry Chris,

I miss you too. I had to drive back to Bakersfield to see my parents on Sunday. I got back late last night. Sorry for no respond earlier.
I will be home later this year for vacation. I will come by and see you folks again.

SH

I want to thank the Great Panda for hosting the 2 poor souls in LA. I also want to thank Peter the Greatest for covering my @$$ from the back (court). And thank Panda and Tommy for not going after my @$$ while Panda did barely miss my private part. last thing is you should see Mr. LSD covering everything. I woul dlike to call him Peter the Great Wall.

It is really sad to see Panda killed another racquet and broke 2 strings that night. Seeing Peter the Great's string job with my own eyes, it was OOOOO AHHHH.

It was great to see another Bruin from my old day too.

I'm not sure when Steven is leaving but he only planned to play one night with us. He said if more, he'd contact me.
..thanks for the info, Dan..:)
Sorry Chris,

I miss you too. I had to drive back to Bakersfield to see my parents on Sunday. I got back late last night. Sorry for no respond earlier.
I will be home later this year for vacation. I will come by and see you folks again.

SH
..i see, no problem. Yeah, perhaps we can hook up again later this yr.
But, both of you guys, i've gotta give props for traveling all the way from your locations down south, just to play over the weekend.:cool:

Btw, i understand now why our Master Pete gave up & didn't play on Sunday: it was all the running around covering our Master Steven from the back..:p;)

2) we are to tired and ready to eat after playing, we don't know how to take picture.

Speak for yourself, I was ready for at least 2 or 3 more matches. :p

By the time we were done playing, Peter the Great Wall had a blister big as an egg. It was all my fault...:crying:

1) You're welcome Heart, any time. :D

2) Peter didn't cover you in the backcourt, he was busy covering himself. :p You held you own. :)

3) You do a good job covering up. It must be a regular occurrence. ;)

4) Panda only killed one racket and one string. Guava killed the other string. :p

5) Peter's string job, so nice but so sloooooooow. :D

6) Trojan Panda! Fight on! :p

I want to thank the Great Panda for hosting the 2 poor souls in LA. I also want to thank Peter the Greatest for covering my @$$ from the back (court). And thank Panda and Tommy for not going after my @$$ while Panda did barely miss my private part. last thing is you should see Mr. LSD covering everything. I woul dlike to call him Peter the Great Wall.

It is really sad to see Panda killed another racquet and broke 2 strings that night. Seeing Peter the Great's string job with my own eyes, it was OOOOO AHHHH.

I saw the same on Pete's hand when i was in Vancouver... Lol... things just don't change much. :p

Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission? I am not grounded for the midnight run...:D

Midnight run? By the time I dropped you off, the sun was up...5:30am. That's not midnight to me. :p

So waht do you call this? A one night stand?

By the time we were done playing, Peter the Great Wall had a blister big as an egg. It was all my fault...:crying:

It was not your fault, it was his fault he was returning all the shots we hit at him. If it was me, I would have stopped chasing after the 6th or 7th shot. ;)...:D:D:D:D

So waht do you call this? A one night stand?

Speak for yourself, I had Peter for this loooong weekend. :D

Let me know if this is the draw back for my idea. A electric motor can has fixed max spin speed. So the electric turbo will be a drag at high RPM because it can not compress enough air fast enough. Often time, the motor can spin fast but not powerful enough or powerful but not fast enough.

Dang it... There goes my idea.

Panda just drives cars...and used to mod them. Panda doesn't have the scientific know how with respect to technology.

P.S. Where are you now and have you fully recovered? If here and fully recovered, let's play! :D

Is Peter the Great still recovering from the trip?

Yes, SMP slept like no tomorrow yesterday! Will report back late tonight.

LOL! :D You're lucky you choose Option 3 on Sunday. :p

It was great to meet you Peter, sorry we didn't get a chance to play again saturday night. I got sick and stayed home all day. I hope the Panda showed you more than just the gym and his shop. lol. Thanks Panda for the great dinner afterwards at JJ Cafe. And I'll post the few pics I took as soon as I download them. hehe.

What?! Polar Bears and Pandas are shy! :eek:

Don't be shy shy la. Time to show all the Grand Master Stringers' faces and probably put as sticky in the stringing & equipment section. Go Vtec101!!! :D

It was a pleasure to meet you. There is always the next time, Paul!

Indeed, all hail to the Greatest Panda for hosting two very worn-out souls!!!

You held your ground well and all those special jokes cracked everyone up :D.

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it! The shaft broke in the middle of play. Hail to the Greatest Panda for being "SO POWERFUL". ;)

LA: Absolutely a Mongo City; one feels very tiny.

SGVBC: Words can't describe the feeling. If you want games, there are plenty for all levels of play. It's open 24 hours a day. The folks (at least the ones I met) are very nice and easy going. If you call it run down, it's sort of run down. If you call it a community centre, it "feels" like a community centre but it's not. It's just a very unique place to play good-fun badminton :).

Food in LA: For the money, the portion and quality are up there.

Flooring at SGVBC & ABC

Both use synthetic tile material. The cushioning was surprisingly good! Maybe the two new knee braces I got hold up but the floor didn't feel hard.

Talk about brief. ;)

Next time, no "Option 3" for you. :p

Remember: CFP and HMS your case studies. :p

Does Panda sleep at all? Isn't it too early for you? Or are you just got back from killing some birds and racquet?

Since you and Pete chose Option 3 on Sunday, Panda needed to get my badminton fix elsewhere...just kidding. Panda went to sleep very early (1am) and woke up at 5:30am. Early Panda gets the wor...Panda's don't like worms, Panda's like sashimi! :D

Sorry bro, no can do. I twisted my ankle last night, I don't think I'll be playing the rest of this week.

Poor Polar Bear! :(

Get well soon and then we can get run by the girls again...on the court, of course. :D

Thanks for the pics, Vtec101. Nice to know who I am talking to when seeking stringing advise. No suprises except for Guava(assuming he is the forth person in the photo), whom I thought is the Great Panda's mixed double partner. Was looking forward to seeing a sexy looking babe *slap forehead*. :p

Coach Don Van in the Blue RSL shirt, Peter on his team. Dinkie The Panda in panda color clothing and GuavaWang (Tommy, my double's partner).

Do not mention the word, "FOOD", on court with the Panda around. He will bulldoze his way to whoever said "FOOD". :D:D:D

Lucky, the Panda has all the tools of the trade in his bag. The bandage and cream patched up the gaping opening. Hail to the Panda :D:cool:

*Panda starts to run in the direction of Vancouver...stops...then realizes it's hard labor. Panda's do not do hard labor*

Lol... I think he's well prepared, as I wonder what such a powerful smasher usually doing to his opponents? :p

Hey, it felt good afterward . . . I mean the feeling of getting run :D. But bed time is so no good! Imagine trying to sleep but can't because of the soreness.

Lol...

Now, Pete got what I suffered from Vancouver gangs... :D

Then take the plane :D:p;). Panda will be relaxed and fresh for baddie and fishing action.

Dink it, it was good food. I will take you to the uber Sichuan restaurant if you make the trip ;):cool:.

I forgot the most important thing, where we ate on Sunday!

Yong Dong Hot Pot Tofu = YUMMY! :D

And the winner = all of us of course! That's a silly question. :p

:D:D:D

You sure you're ready for more soreness? ;):p:D:D:D

I think I get your idea: LSD effect + Pandamonium :D:D:D

We have a couple of VRC members who are looking forward to seeing the Great Panda ;).

Put these 2 together, you know why. :D

Ms heart say we might be going to Black Comb to ski this year... I just need to igure out how to hide a badminton racquet insode of our ski bag. Any idea?

Easy, send it to Panda, or I'll just bring extra stuff...you know, like RSL X2 Golds in 94g strung at 32lbs. :p

Don't pull (crank or electronic) too hard with two hands ;):D. Too much elongation is so no good :p.

That is if you tension the string for more than 4 hrs. Then you need to go to ER to relase the pressure.:o:p

Should I start a new thread about "The Panda's Trek North" & "The Silentheart's Trek West" . . . etc.?

Roundtrip to Van is only $400. But I want to drive...stay for about two weeks. :D

Nice of the coach to be teaching you sign language as well. What does that finger sign mean in badminton lingo lol. Tks for sharing. Was the racket Dink snapped the new LX stuff he was trying?

We're not trying to KILL the Panda, Pete! :D

Seriously though, that restaurant Pete is talking about makes the hottest food I've ever had (and I've bitten into Malaysian chili padi!). It is some HOT stuff!

Panda's ancestors are originally from Sichuan Province. As a baby pandling, Grandma Panda feed Dinkie Panda hot chili peppers.

So, Dinkie Panda likes hot food. :D
