Occupation Engineer (if I can fill in badminton fanatic on my resume, u know...) Location NY (metro area), US Why / How "Lazy": Well, got this nick name because of: 1. Very lazy for doing things, always being extra slow. 2. "Lazy" pronounced very similar as my first name and my last name initial combined. 3. Will be changed to "BusyBuddy" when referring to badminton. For badminton related activities (play, collect, string racket, post on BF/BC/BR), that's a totally different me. History Started playing when I was in junior HS. Never properly coached or trained. Obviously, this greatly effected my skill lvl, but on the other side, gives me a little bit "excuses" to lose badly (fairly often, still...) Moved to the US about 10 yrs ago, and did not get to play much in HS yrs. Picked it up again in college, and became a fanatic ever since. Had tons of experience for cutting lectures, but not for badminton practice. Even though, never won any trophy in tournies, but that just because they are "too cheap to give Best Attendance Award". Skill Like to hold racket in "panhandle", too. This definitely gives me an edge in net plays, however, the major drawback is the power dept. Experienced players / trainers told me that my wrist moves are acceptable (or, they just trying to make me feel happy), but my arm is lack of strength and development. Currently, working on that, as well as footwork, hopefully could be more competitive. BF/BC/BR Great site!!! Learned so much from ppl here, and made many new buddies around, even though, 99% of ppl I never even met before. Feel like this is a big family, and always receive great suggestions around. Trying to help out with my very limited knowledge as well, but maybe not as imformative as others. Well, at least, I am still "trying"... Hobby 1. Playing badminton. 2. Collecting badminton rackets. 3. String rackets. 4. Posting on BC/BF/BR. 5. ......................... badminton.... 6. ....... badminton .................... 7. ................badminton................. ......
Wow, this good??? Thanks thanks, can't stop crying now... Well, my "nasty" side might appear once a while when I step on court, so, that explains why sometimes, ppl will "hate" me when they play against me. heheheheheeh... Of course, off court, we are still buddies.
Here's a short poem of my own story (ok, baddy related a bit). Knew this girl from a local club, and showed interested. Worked hard, and the "decision day" was last friday: ____________________________________________________________ Lil Princess Coming to gym, and knowing today is different of a kind, I planned to confess to her, but still hard to make up my mind, I was confused, and was afraid the friendship might come to end. She finally came in, with the usual sweet smile of a kind, I came up, and asked if she had a minute, she said "sure", and looked at me like she's reading my mind. We went out the gym, walked to the street end, beatiful sunset, beatiful girl, I was confused again, as if I should to risk something might put everything to an end. Finally, I gathered my mind, but kept wipping my sweaty hand on my pant, three words of "I like you", took more energy than all the workout of entire weekend. She was a bit shocked, and looking to the ground, face turning a bit red, but clearly did not get mad (thank god), she was a bit nervous, and trying to dig out the best words from her mind. Her reply was polite and kind, and result was more on the negative end. She said she's not ready, and wondering if I could still be her friend, she's so kind, and tried to let me feel that I was not offended. She tried her best to cheer me up, by praising that "man, you are brave as hell of a kind". she seemed knew a bit of my "plan", and appreciate everything I did, She wished me the best of luck, and get the girl of my kind. We went back to the gym, and she started to warm up, left me watching alone from the stand. I was a bit sad, but I fully understand, it's still my honor to have her around, and have a true friend. When I think about the result later on, I might get upset and cry inside, but I know I need to move on, and wish for her to get the best of her kind. Lil princess, you are nice, polite and sweet, and deserve the best of a kind. Your lovely smile will always be in my mind! _________________________________________________________________ Note: 1. Lil princess: the unique nickname I used for her 2. I was thinking about post this into the thread "Baddy poem", but afraid that my broken english will ruin that thread, then Kwun will kill me.
Little Princess Touching, LazyBuddy.... did you ever give her this poem? Do you still play badminton together?
Thanks... Well, we still play together and chitchat off court. I just wrote this poem during my morning break time, and not plan to give it to her.
Good that you can stay friends, that's nice (but maybe difficult for you).. Writing poems is a good way to let your emotions go... I used to do that too
Darn LB, you got me crying on my lunch (BBQ pork on rice) Tough break but stay friends. My first impression is that you probably caught off-guard but now that she knows and wants to stay friends probably means that she values you and who knows, friendship is the best place to start.
Good try Wow, LB that was so brave of you and also so nice of you to write such a beautiful poem, too bad it didn't work out. I hope you can let go of the feelings and use badminton to erase the pain.
Well, normally, I should give it a bit more time, and let 2 ppl get to know each other a bit more. However, for some reason (sorry, i can't give too much detail) I suddenly found out that I was in a situation of "no time left". Therefore, I want her to at least know what I think, as she said, "to be a friend", and I think it's important to let a friend to know the "real me". Therefore, action... Note: BBQ pork is a good method to cheer me up.
Thanks a lot. Well, u know me. I tried to stay focus on my games, but the performance was kinda below the bar a bit, as I lost a bit concentration (might be confidence as well?). Well, hope time can help me to heal up.
Hang in there, Lazybuddy. It's not a indictment of your own personality, this experience ... Why not come to to Ultimate VRC challenge or something or rather that SmashingBird is organizing? Vent out your pain by unleashing mind-numbing, bone-crushing smashes on SmashingBird? Or me? I'll just cower down or return a half-court clear, to make you feel better. -dave
LazyBuddy, keep your chin up! It's a brave and wise thing that you did. Now you can move on and look for that one soulmate waiting for you rather than keep yourself hanging in the air! There's probably some truth in this old saying: "If you love someone, set her free; if she comes back, she's yours; if she never come back, she was never mearnt to be!" Contempory version: "If you love someone, set her free; if she comes back; she's yours; if she doesn't come back after certain time-out, forget about her ! "
LB, just don't kill yourself before time-out. And stay away from alcoholic drinks. BTW, set a reasonable time-out period.
You're a good man, LB! LB, Little Princess was right. Not everybody have the courage to come up to someone they really like and just tell them how they feel... rejection be damned. She must have been pleasantly surprised that you approached her, probably alot more than she led on because girls get hit on all the time and never get the kind of sincerity in your message. I am sure that you're not the only one who liked her and not the only one to approach her before, but to do it with great sincerity must have been pretty refreshing. IMO, you have given her a gift... and it made her feel really special that day. Don't feel too beat up, dude... you'll meet up your other half soon enough.
Lol... I think ur guys know me just too well. Actually, on sunday night, I was kinda pissed, so went to my friend's house to have a drink. After that, I felt more better. No, I did not finish 5 bottles of wine by myself or something. Just a little bit, u know, a little bit...
VRC challenge? Good idea... However, need to make sure my boss won't beat me up for another vacation 1st. Half court clear, I thought that's my signature stroke?
