Badminton Sessions...

We were LATE for Badminton today. H barged into the room while I was still ZZZZZ and asked "Boys have badminton today?"

... " Yeah", I replied groggily.

"Well. It's already 8.15 . Hurry Up and get your butt up then!"... RUSH RUSH RUSH. I did!

We managed to get out of the door at 8.30 am, and jam all the way to H's office to drop him off, and then to the Badminton Courts. We arrived at about 9.15 am. Not too bad...only 15 minutes late. The coach was already there...

Wanted to post a video on YouTube. But there's some sort of a maintenance going on. So can't upload.

See my S2.... doing nonsense while the coach is coaching the older brother. He was sitting under the net, poking the shuttlecocks into the net, and all sorts... This fella cannot do things long one.

At least here, both boys are diligently playing the game!

So far, they've had four coaching sessions with this coach. He (the coach) says he USED to be the assistant coach to the National team wor.... but of course I can't verify it as I don't really understand him. Boys DEFINITELY cannot understand him! HAHAHA.

How does he train them? Using hand and feet actions lor.. S1, who has played longer somehow CANNOT or DO NOT want to change his style of playing. But S2, who is just starting is QUITE GOOD in following his instructions.

Since school starting next week, don't know when the next session would be... we'll see lah.

What we Hokkien would say, "Chit chia ak, chit chia kueh" (A duck and a chicken) but as long as the boys got the message and doing well, that's all that matters, right? :)

That is CORRECT man!! Really "chit chia ak, chit chia kueh" or as the Cantonese say "kai thung ngap kong"!!
This reminds me of my mom's old Chinese maid speaking to the Filipino maid. Somehow, they two can communicate so well that they can actually gossip one leh...

Boys just look at his actions lor..
