    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?
