This City Never Sleeps
Wednesday, April 27, 2005 @ The Game
Cindy asked me whether if i would like to join their gang for a badminton session at Hougang sports complex. I went, cos 1) it's been ages since i last played badminton, 2) wants to see her best friend Val in person, rather than dropping msg on cin's doodle board, and the troublesome pair (Val and me) is bickering with each other on the board.

So i went to Hougang central (the place that i would choose not to step again, cos the place sucks to me, but i still go for it, cos the gangs lives in that area, and you can't expect them to made their way down to Bedok to plase me rite? School is okay to us, but there are ppl who are not TP's.) and met them at 10.48am. Val arrives at 11am on cab and so we happily went to the designated court.

And the game is quite a mockery to me, cos the last time that i played badminton was in Sec 4, so do the math yaself aka you calculate yaself how long i've never touched a badminton racket and shuttlecock. When entering the court, it was just like entering a sauna, plus the clothes we are wearing, so you can imagine i am wearing a sweaty tees before the game, and you can imagine what happens after the end of the game.

1st round: 2 doubles, with Val and Xiang (Cin's bf) as a pair, Alex (cin's neighbour) and me another. After the 1st round, Xiang was replaced by Cin, 3rd round with Val taking a break, 4th round by Alex and i am the last.

So we just shoot and shoot and shoot till 12noon, where we change the court. It was a game of singles and singles, and eventually a single/double aka one vs two.

2pm: The End of the Game. Everyone took a cab and leaves except me, where i need a shower. The shower room is pretty small, and the changing space? even smaller. School is still the best.

Gained something from this game: Val is a nice girl, but need time to be discovered. Badminton has never been so fun and thrilling before. I admit that i am a mountain turtle in some case, but at least i learnt how to feel the thrill and sharpen my alertness from badminton.

Hey Val, if u read this, we still have to work on what we agreed on: brainwash Ciin...

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
