Report of our 1st HK baddie meeting

[neo_Rabbit]

thought i'd write something about our first meeting @ HK:

on the 30th nov, peggy, calvin, alan and myself (ken) went to peggy's club @ aberdeen to play baddie. everything was going fine until i realised that i brought my white pants instead of white shorts... in desperation, i rolled up my jeans to make it into some sort of makeshift shorts (pity we didn't get a pic of it).

thinking that we were at least "intermediate" players, we thought that we'd get a couple of close/good games in. we were proven wrong in our 2nd game, when some guy with a pony tail came in with backhand smashes and everything... that game jus ended in tragedy... ><

to add to my troubles, my yonex factory grip was crumbling with every stroke... at the end of the night, i was playing with a half wooden racket =( thanx peggy 4 your grip offer tho ^^

all in all, it was a fun nite, thanx peggy and ppls 4 the games!

I saw this guy with a very short ponytail in 2002 in a few district tournaments. The dude was a right hander and very skinny. He and his partner consistently beated Cheung and his friend. Not sure if we are talking about the same dude?

I'mmm not too sure about u & Calvin (think not...), but I'm (over-age too !)

other than that:
~ it's fun for me, esp. not played for 20+ yrs
~ great to have met 3 BC members, esp. Peggy who's so kind to drove us all the way from Festival walk to Aberdeen

[neo_Rabbit]

hehe... no worries, we're all in the same boat
