It was the light kind of smack. Just joking. Tim can muster very hard smashes.

Hahaha...Don't think Txyu's g/f appreciate that smack, Pete.

Gotta say that Txyu do have a great smash. Overall it was a fun evening with most of us playing till 1 am. Txyu gotta start teaching his gf how to play (she was so patient spending 5+ hrs watching us play).

BTW, Badrad, Mrs. Timeless was there too.

What a gathering last night! Badrad, don't worry, we can come together again for a group picture... except we may miss TXYU.

**timeless** · 04-13-2003, 06:18 PM

WOW~ What a night!

4~5 hours of non-stop BF.COM badminton! As badrad already mentioned it was a great turnout. And it wasn't a very busy Saturday night at the club so there was only a few minutes of rest between games at most. By the end of the night we were practically begging eachother to go out and play

. It was really nice to meet some new BF.COM members such as Txyu and Viver. My games with the BF.COM members were incredibly fun and challenging. The level of intensity of every game was high yet an air of fun over it all. The wealth of skill and experience between some of these members is awesome. After last night, I have a lot to ponder and analyse in my quest to improve. I was personally faced with in-game situations and overall pace that I certainly do not face in my normal games. It was a great educational night and just overall a ton of fun. A bunch of us topped the evening off with a late night snack. We ate and chatted until the restaurant kicked us out at 2AM. We definitely need to do this kind of thing more often!

The batteries were dead in my camera when I tested it before I headed out

. I even tried gathering all the batteries from my remote controls but most turned out to be AAA instead of AA

. Guess I'll be paying a visit to Radio Shack soon. So... Looks like we'll need to have another BF.COM meet just for the pictures... and hey, we may even end up playing a lil badminton too

.

TXYu and Timeless and very good players. TXYu got an aweseome smash. Timeless is very humble here - he possess a very good smash with good power and moves very quickly around the court and fast at the net. Even had a singles game with Frank - my first in x years. It was a very good night of badminton for me as haven't played like this for long. Looking forward for the next gathering.

Today all my body muscles are aching. Don't know how long it'll take me to recover!!

If there was any reason I could come up with as to why I play badminton, Saturday night at the VRC would be it. Although I had never met anyone there, it was like we knew eachother for years and years.

You guys killed me. I am soooooo sore it's not funny. It hurts to try and sit down and don't even get me started about getting back up.

5 hours of badminton. I was going in thinking I was gonna play 2-3 tops. Well worth it though. I will have to try and do this more often.

Everyone held their own last night and the level of play was fantastic. Definitely no easy games. Although Badrad always seemed so nonchalant on court. Hits everything effortlessly.

Winex, thanks for letting me try the demos. Winex racquets are great!!! I even bought one...but alas, no discount...next time right Winex?

As for my great smack....a good racquet and a few freebies at the net can make anyone look good.

And just to note, for some reason, this weekend was unique. I believe that the people that showed up at the VRC usually don't even play there. It was only because their gym was being occupied by something else that brought them to the VRC. Talk about the right time, at the right place.

Till we meet again everyone.

Great games guys, hope we can do this more often.

*LOL* I can imagine your GF saying something like, "That'll learn ya! I'm sticking to shopping"

I think MVP of the night definitely goes to the GF for having such amazing zen-like patience.

**txyu** · 04-14-2003, 06:09 PM

LOL My gf loves it....she harasses me about it all the time. She expects me to be bed ridden after tournaments and long bouts of badminton. She thinks it's funny.

She still makes me do everything myself though and just sits there and laughs while I crawl up the stairs.

I'd give her MVP as well for sitting through 5hrs of baddy and still have energy to want to stay up and go out to eat afterwards.

Next time we come up, I'll have her well trained and she'll be the one with the huge smash.

**badrad** · 04-14-2003, 07:39 PM

so did she remember to take you up on my offer for you to buy her a fantastic gift on Sunday as compensation? Hahahahahah!

**txyu** · 04-14-2003, 08:19 PM

No gift...but I did take her out for Dim Sum

**txyu** · 04-14-2003, 08:19 PM

oh and guess what????

I may be coming out again in 2 weeks....

I will let you know

So another 5 hour bad-fest at the VRC! So possibly the weekend of May 3rd? I guess the rest of the locals BC'ers will keep that night tentatively reserved.
