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! ken
when will u guys hold the second meeting? plz let me know hehe.... by the way, who's that guy with a pony tail? form other club? um....u know, backhand smash! that's what i wanna learn!
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?
There were a total of 19 people that night !!! Haven't had such turn out in decades!! Nice to meet you guys and hope that your rocket-making career will take off soon !!
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
Hahah sorry to reply this late..but really appreciate Peggy's offering the ride...hehe you know, I was a bit nervous to get into a total stranger car going to a relatively remote place (its remote for me, as I'm a Kowlooner )
