Hey Fuji, I think it's time for you and me to join the Senior CCC Club, like yschin. Have to start putting on both elbow and knee strap.
Hi Chris & everyone@CCC! SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!!!! (although going soon again.. haha ) Wow~~~ there were a lot of new faces on Friday though... felt I was new all over again~~~ haha... Hi LisaC!!! hehe... hope you will get well soon! I nearly got sick during my exam period, too... Fortunately, I started my "magical Manuka Honey & Lemon" recipe early and so I was lucky to stay healthy throughout the whole exam period until now. It's not that bad getting sick - just think positively - it's a chance of building up your immunity!!! (Just want it to happen at the right time though.) And so... you are "stronger" than the rest of us coz you are immuned now and we are not!!! OH-OH... Hi Chris@CCC! hehe... sorry la~~~ I also didn't expect to go back so early coz I originally had the ticket booked on the 28th of NOV which is also after the Sunday coaching... but then cousin called last week or the week before that he has actually moved his wedding ceremony day a week early because apparently, it's a "better day" for it (you know.. the chinese tradition thingy). so I had to change all my plans again... that's why when hkhung asked the other day about the match on 17th - I needed to see coz I was still on the waiting list for the flights on the 15th and 16th... and I've just got back from the travel agent... now I'm leaving tomorrow!!! ARGH~~~ Panic attacks... I'm "psychologically" not ready yet... but I'm actually quite lucky that I can get a spot at this time of the year I guess. Anywayz... I will miss you all & all the best with the upcoming friendly matches!!! I will be cheering for you guys in TW!!! *JIA YOU*JIA YOU* If your ears get itchy - then it's me! ~Take care guys & keep the passions alive~
Wishing Manuka Honey a Good Holiday in TW Hi Manuka Honey, Wishing you a Good Holiday in TW. Via the internet...... you are just as close to us as you are in Melbourne. You might find/buy cheaper Badminton things over there in TW. Let us know when you get back to Melbourne. Cheers... chris@ccc
Mother of all f bomb Badfever, Give me a break buddy. All is not lost, some Dr Hwang ?? in China can inject cells and repair it. Any of the docs around (CCC's) like to have a guinea pig for their "mother of all stem cells" research ?? They are many candidates around CCC's club. Maybe Chris is also on some kind of steriods to make him look that good.
It's a Serious Matter: Preventing Injuries [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]Hi yschin, Fuji and BadFever, [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]For steroids, LilyC, our drug expert, recommends the magical Manuka Honey. [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]Yes, fortunately we have doctors playing at CCC, and perhaps they can be consulted when injuries occur. [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]It's only when we get injured, we realised that this is a serious matter. [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]As a coach, I have to say that more emphasis must be placed on proper stroke production and on proper footwork. By proper, I mean “not having to be subject to or undergo extreme stress”. [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]Prevention is always better than cure. [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]At one of our Wednesday Night Coaching sessions, I explained to our trainees not to do certain things that could bring injuries...... and Kim, who was listening at courtside, promptly agreed because he acknowledged that he received injuries because he did those things. [/FONT] BTW, kong-19 is coming to play with us again this Wednesday and Friday. Ask him to show you how you can prevent soreness in your foot. It is an insole I believe that will help. To hkhung: Please check kong-19's insole, because his insole is better than the ones that I have told you before. Cheers... chris@ccc
Monica + Julian will play against Highvale on Friday 17-Nov-2006 Hi Captain hkhung, Good News !!! Monica + Julian confirmed today that they will play(partnering each other) against Highvale on Friday 17-Nov-2006. So you have 4 pairs, now confirmed. I should be getting a final reply from Highvale by tomorrow morning, Wednesday 15-Nov-2006, about their team structure. I will inform/post here tomorrow, Wednesday 15-Nov-2006, of Highvale's plan. Cheers... chris@ccc
That's good. For once we have 4 pairs. As with Marissa's club, organisation to find out about their team would be difficult as there's no badminton this sunday. Which means i only get one sunday before 1/12 to find out about their team. Their players have verbally confirmed (according to Marissa) but i think the partnership might not be decided until last minute. On this coming nite, i would ask the players are they up for another interclub comp. Then i would forward details to Marissa.
Please check kong-19's insole Hi hkhung, Did you scroll back and read this...... Post #267? Please check kong-19's insole, because his insole is better than the ones that I have told you before. Just worried for you because you've told me that you have soreness in your foot. Cheers... chris@ccc
Right O. Will do. I just show my old yonex power cushion 55 (the red ones that me and AndrewWong and Herman wears) to a foot doctor. And he show me that the arch (bridge) of the shoe is not very strong. So if you got Flat fleet, that yonex pair is not for you.
Hi Chris & everyone@CCC!!! Arrived safely in TW midnight last night. *yea~* Good to see we finally have 4 pairs to play for the match against Highvale~ now I feel less guilty. Hahaha.... my "magical Manuka Honey" is no good if you are looking for steroids! Did you guys know that a few years back, one pharamcist in AUS got into trouble because he/she was selling steroids to the local gym???
LilyC is back in TW on 14-Nov-2006 Hi LilyC, Good to hear from you from TW. What is the weather like in Taipei? Would you believe that some parts of Melbourne is at 6 degree C @noon today...... with hail and snow? It's very, very strange for the outskirts of Melbourne to have snow in November. Perhaps, a hot drink of Manuka Honey is the best drink for us in Melbourne today. Cheers... chris@ccc
Hey! I went home for lunch today and it was snowing at my area!! Unbelievable..Like Chris said...IN November!!! I took some pictures as well See you guys tonight...more to talk about for supper tonight about the snow....
Hi Chris!!! When I heard the news about the strange weather across AUS yesterday, I was shocked... ! Luckily, the weather in Taipei is not so bad and quite warm too. The forecast for today is 23C~26C, drizzle. Oh!!! don't forget your lemon in the honey!!!

To everybody: Well, I guess next time people would be "amused" if i did not interrupt/talk unsensibly. All of my concerns of Highvale did not happen, what a surprise. To Chris: Moving on Chris, out of the following people, please let me know who can i select for Marisa's club. [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]Andrew-W, David-Z, Haifeng-W, Monica-H, Julian-H (absent), Ken-H, Laurie-C, Helmut-H [/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]Jack-Y, Lisa-C (absent) That's 10 people already and i need 4 pairs so that should be plenty of choice. Hopefully Lewellyn would be available as well. Lisa+Laurie has already told me that they do not know whether they are available or not so they would rather be left out of the interclub comp against Marissa's club on 1/12. [/FONT][FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]That's 9 people already and i need 4 pairs so that should be ok. Once the list of particupants is confirmed by you, then i would contact people either on the board or this coming friday.[/FONT] [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif] Let's hope interclub with Marissa's club and Wesley's club would bring us more member!

LilyC reading about Badminton late at night Hi LilyC, You are like me... reading about Badminton this late at night. How's your TW holidays so far? Cheers... chris@ccc
