Club badminton peeps

I'm touched. I thought I was being mean to someone that was actually super nice to me. So I asked opinions, from my sister and a few friends. My sister said she thinks it's fine, so do arrogant. Shell be like SAVAGE. I only wanted him to take it extremely seriously, which he did. Friendship not ruined, we played mix today. As usual, I spoke Mandarin to him, while he never spoke back. Then he told moon (in Cantonese) not to ask me out for badminton tomorrow night cuz I'm gonna injure myself and worsen shits. He actually didn't know I understood every single word. Well thanks, no joke. It was obvious cuz I couldn't lunge, I couldn't squat, or walk up the damn stage. Seriously hey thanks.

There are a few people that are being too nice. Ginger, Moon and legend car ant. Uhm. Different kinds of nice. Ginger was scarily chatty so I ignored him a lot. Moon dragged me into his group and recently became chatty like ginger. Ugh gotta reverse that shit. Then car ant was flirty.

A damn funny kind of flirty. I swear he talks super sweet whenever I see him. It's actually really entertainingly funny and cute omg. He calls me in a way I couldn't help but laugh. I got into the pitch black hall cuz I was early, then he was the first face to appear. Just like the first time we met, just us hah.

Where have you been for a week, I was looking forward to playing with you.
I was absent? Oh yeah I have exams.

How sweet. Hahah. I guess it's the tone he spoke that makes us not awkward about that. It's just too funny.

When I partnered a random guy,
Hey you stole my yh.

Legend, I'm not yours but you're too funny I forgive you 😂 you gotta be kidding right? He said that a few times, but obviously I wasn't bothered, probably that's why he dares to do it again. Damn. I can't even stop laughing while typing oh god.

These three are probably the closest people I can joke and talk to. Honestly hope I won't have to ignore legend. Sincerely hope it's just a flirty friendship we got there.

Facts

It's been a year since big shits happened. I've been putting my phone on silent. It's good. I swear. I thought my phone would be quiet forever but it didn't. I get to know bunch of new people. It's the new people who had been bugging my phone.

I got scolded a lot, for not picking up my phone. Mostly my family. I ignored people, and I have no idea how they managed to still text me.

When you text a girl who doesn't reply fast, isn't it boring? I feel your boredom, guy.
When life tells you, relationships are relationshits, do you still trust that thing?

Think about couples that were smiling happily last year, or two years ago. Are they still happily smiling together?

I've thought of so many pairs.
They're with different people. Different people being with different people just in a year.

How are you and her? Moving on?
Yeah I guess. I'm in another relationship, 6 months.
Wow. Good for you bruh.

When I wanna mention a guy to lychee. I'd say
That day I saw kh's bf/ex, probably ex, he waved.
Ex, you didn't know?
Oh of course I do, even when I don't know the two.

None of them lasts right? Such stupid idiots believe in love. The fifth wave (yeah not a good movie) tells us, love is a trick to ensure survival of this stupid species. It's true! That shit is weak. Weaker thanfucking van der waals forces. Ok stahp. Ahhaha. Even broccolis are stronger.

Ok sorry there's something wrong with my brain.

I am moving on. Yeah, I've not been seeing him much, maybe twice a month. Maybe still got excited each time. But that doesn't change facts.

Facts are, I'm much better alone. He definitely knows that. I know it too.

When a guy becomes too chatty, ignore him.
When a guy helps too much, stop asking for help.
Friends would help. But overthinking friends would over help. I know I'm being a little crazy
texting each close friend to like a little video.
But this close friend tagged a hundred just to help me help a friend. Psyc much?

Ignore is how you prevent further damage when you want to save a friendship.

That's what wood has been doing to me. Cold, mean, simple.

I'm just like him. Lol.
But I'm good. Shits wouldn't affect me now.

The only distractions in my life are addicting food and fb, and maybe badminton haha 😁 life's good.

Late 20's

I've been joining this group of people for badminton. Yesterday was the second time. They play every Friday night. Pretty late, but it's Friday. So my way to party. Heh. So yeah. Last week was more awkward, cuz moon doesn't know them well too. The one who fetches us was 26, and I know the tallest of them all was 29. So they all are probably in their late twenties. Lol. 

I kinda pulled my right thigh at the start. Weird, cuz I've stretched there. Most of them are average, just few are slightly better, some can't really play. The girl can play. I'm proud of her. :D From last week, I learnt that working peeps drink a lot. Or maybe it's just that group? They all seem so busy. 

This week, we actually talked. CK asked how much do I play. He's one of the guys that can really play, but injured so he doesn't smash. He smashes 3% in each complete set, if the side he's playing was losing. So mostly we just gonna stay aware cuz he drops and nets. Awesome. I like that. 

They made me guess their ages! I had a haaaard time. I was quite accurate for all of them except for CK's. Not my fault! I guessed according to their responses. Ugh. :3 

It's cool to be with people so different in my life. I get to learn some new stuff. Luckily I can understand cantonese. It has so damn much advantages. 

Training + 2nd round badminton

Ok pls don't mix up. I had second round badminton two days ago too with a bunch of people in their late 20's. Then ate like a pig.

Today was awesome. Training was exciting. Really, if you're sick, don't go to training. J wasn't there, so the tall coach took over. Only J would let me do baby steps. Now he's not here, I do what the rest of them do. I think it's important too :3 so... touch and go style lobs; drops and lifts; then lucky draw match. Woots. I got the guy that screwed his pants last time he played with me. Ok it wasn't a good start, he led. Then a tie. Then he led. All those mistakes. 20-15 to 20-19 then he won. Good game, but fff always screwed by those mistakes. Why yh why. The guy was panting like a dog, and said I'm good lol. Bruh, I think we're the same level. Serious shit. I definitely can beat you. I actually challenged him second set but he said "im ded". After everything I stroked with the brothers. Elder one first. He killed all my stamina. I told him he's gonna get bored in 5 minutes, but he said nope. Maybe I'm not that baddd?? Then stroked with arrogant. His drops are good. I think maybe I can take his smashes. :3

It was really rush. Home, out again, lunch, second round. Wait I needa talk about the food. Lunch was PRECIOUS. Japanese food, but not very expensive. SO DELICIOUS. And full asfuckkk.

2nd round. There's a difference, badminton with these ex djians and other peeps. Everywhere I play, I feel so awesome. But here with ex djians, I feel terrible. I feel like a newbie, I can't play, I can't hit. And I have no idea why.

Ok one thing I know, wood is a very good player. I used to have full trust and just stay at the front. But I've been playing mix with too many people who aren't as good as him. So the opponents are too damn strong today I can't play like how I play in college? .... I'm just so lost. Ugh. Badminton with these people makes me down. Like why am I such a bad player? I've tried hard. I practiced whenever I can. But why am I still so terrible?

I saw two person I know. An ex state player, YC. I'm probably not gonna write about her in the future, she's Gem's friend. A freaking pro. She sat next to me and we talked. Aw I never knew she's just 3 years older than me, very chatty and friendly too!

I didn't get a hug from him. Duh. I never. Wood was like usual. I can tell, he's trying not to be mean. We argued in a fun way. That's not usual at all. But I like that. He left so soon.. I wish I can see him next week. Weekly. Anyways everyone left. I was just lurking around to pick up pretty shuttlecocks. Then I saw pineapple's ex. Pax? So we just sat there and talked.

He asked me about wood. I asked him bout pineapple. It's like, four of us would be much better apart. He agreed on that. Then I told him about my new training. He said, that coach is damn good. YEP I KNOW. :D I told him, some said my defenses improved, some said my footwork improved, some said my smash is damn sharp, some said hitting point is higher than previously. I think if I got rid of the racket down habit, I can play. He be like "Not just can play, you'll be damn good!" He said if I can't improve under that coach, maybe I'm not suitable for this sport. Lol.

I want to have the level that wood can't take my smashes, and I can take all his smashes.
"If you reach that level, you'll be as good as a state player. You know, he's a guy."

Some kind of encouragement.
"At least you're willing to keep training. "

Of course, man. I'm fucking addicted.

:D pax told me the team led by J won the last purple league. I think I kinda saw that from google. Thanks pax. For giving this much confident in him, in me. Zz why did pineapple let him go.

1st round badminton

Pure awesome. There's only seven of us, three courts. Perrrrfect!

Ok I feel so great because I think I did something I used to not know how to do.

Firstly my smashes felt powerful. This is probably thanks to new training. The hitting point exercise worked, I tried my best to make the hitting point high, and yep. It felt more easier. It's like using the momentum of the freaking swing. Boom. Every shot. It sounds different.

And I got a small compliment from the legend. Car Ant, our smashing legend. I told him to attack, he looks obviously getting bored. So I said, I smash him instead. After all, he said: Wow, they're really sharp. If you have more strength, your smashes are gonna scare everyone. Damn.

I fucking swear I have to push up daily after A has finished.

Another thing. We did this drive exercise. It's pushing flat-fast shots. I remember, back in my old training, I used to screw that too. They used to scold me for being too slow.

Today, it's not that my speed improved. It's just. They taught me how exactly. When you take shots from the left, obviously use backhand. But when it's on the right, use forehand if I can make it. If not, backhand in a wayyy that I'm not able to describe here.

So we did it.

😁

It's like as long as my hitting point is high up, I can be so much better. I gotta do this shit.

RACKET UP. RACKET UP, BITCH.

Im happy. :D

Badminton lovesssss

Today was the best. Gah I couldn't describe anymore. I gotta say this college sucks, but the badminton players are great.

There's this sukma girl. Goshh she's so badass I wanna be like her! She asked me to play singles with her. I got trashed like expected, but I wasn't expecting 9-21. She said she could tell that I've been trained, but the thing is I HAVE NO ENERGYYY. Yep that's the thing that always kills me. Actually ex sukma girl. She said she goes to the gym regularly to maintain this. Woah no wonder. Such power 😍😍 Her comment: I don't suck, I have the steps, but I can do better if I can hit harder.

There's also an ex Sabah champion. NOT KIDDING AT ALL HE IS LEGEND. The first time I saw him, we arrived the hall early. He has a very nerdy & innocent look. There's another guy (he can't play) that arrived early too. So I sat there and watch them stroke. That's when I realized, fuck, this guy is no nerd. He's a fucking legend. Those smashes can kill. Fuck. I've never seen such powerful smashes in my entire life, and boom. The Sabah Champion. Car ant.

I probably mentioned Moon and Ginger. Long time not seeing Ginger, I almost forgotten that he's this good.

There's so many. Two girls that I've never met. And oh oh sky blue T. He doesn't have the shape, but that speed 😨😨 that strength. Fml. There's also a netting legend. He's a very chatty netting pro: open circle. Today we stroked. I said, let's lob until we die. And yup it was awesome tiring. So we net.

I think I've done okay today, except the single match with sukma girl. There's a competition coming up, and Car ant wants me as his partner. I am extremely honoured and I have no idea why. We have two guy-like girl player that could help him win so much like a boss, and he picks me. Why?

Who do you think is the best here?
Sky blue T is really fast,, Voon has extremely beautiful shots,, sukma girl is so... Tomboy.

Lmao that is a very cute description.

Then I received a compliment. IT MEANS A LOT.
From the Sabah champ. He thinks I play really really softly, very different from the boyish girls, but my net shots are beautiful too.

😨😢😭😭😭 Thank you!!!!

Those encouragements. Fuck.

Tilt your feet, that'll help with the services. It fucking worked. I used to be so afraid of the way Voon returns my services. Cuz he's fast and I'm clumsy as fuck. But just using the way Ant taught, every service was nice. Fuck. I mean. Eh it seems like.... not a problem anymore. 😭

Thank you Sabah champ. You are a fucking legend. I swear I'm speaking from my heart.

Badminton

Exams suck. I hate the part where friends are suddenly just gone. It's like spm, but a paper per day, with lots of breaks in between. Normal people would go home after each paper. So it feels like a long time living away from my classmates already.

Well I'm not 100% away from humans. I have badminton.

So there's the college badminton peeps, there's the Moon's 25 y o badminton gang, there's training, and there's ex dj team.

It's addiction. Coach's doing a good job solving my doubts. If you give me multishuttle, you'd know, my front shots are much better than back shots. Don't know why. But then that doesn't meant I have good footwork. I was never sure about myself.

He taught me how to raise the hitting point, and to practice that at home. He taught me a way to do front footwork without doubts. This way, I can definitely practice the footwork at my park, and hitting point with the old badminton bag I found. :3

As a female player, I'm always bored. Sometimes I want to classmates to play with me. They're so willing to learn, but I have no clue about how to teach them. Having basics training helps 100%. Like he's not just teaching me, he's teaching me how to teach a beginner.

My head is filled with badminton these days. I mean. It's the only thing that's in my life rn besides exam and a bit of music. What to do?

I'm so so glad to not be sick anymore, I can play without feeling needing to stop. Like usual! Yay. I mean hey how can anyone get tired of badminton? They all must be sick. Feeling fucking fantastic, when I fix my swings, let's see what I can do. Let's see how much time I need so I can beat Voon. 😎😎 Maybe by that time, wood can look at me a different way. He used to think I have no room for improvement. I'd improve, in your face.
