Need Improvement~!!! With immediate effect~

Woke up at 12.30pm today. Switched on my phone. Inbox full. Received dozens of messages. All sent btw 7am tp 10am. How do all these people manage to wake up soOoOo early on a saturday morning?! I thought people would take the weekend to sleep more and wake up late. Oh well, sorry to those people who smsed me eaarly in the morning. And sorry for replying so late. Haha~. Can't be blamed lar. You will never catch me awake in the morning unless it's a public holiday, cuz there's always a morning tennis game with moi family. Hehe~. = P

Today's a great day! Cuz i get to play tennis! Haha~. Wah~...Shiok~. Used my father's racket. Restrung it for him that day at Queensway with Ashaway (did i spell wrongly?) Crossfire 17 60lbs. Wah~. Damn cool man. With the Babolat Pure Drive, the weight is damn balanced. I'm gonna use it for my tournament on mon. *Feeling excited already* = P Hope tt's a good sign.

According to my father, i need improvement.
  1. Faster reaction time
  2. Move my 'long' legs with microsteps to adjust my position
  3. Don't try to hit a winner when not in a good position. Play defensive.
  4. Don't kan cheong.
  5. Don't show your frustration. Keep calm.
  6. Don't tense up. If wanna release tension, try to waste time with walking around, jump jump a little.
  7. Don't think of the spectators. Take it as nobody is watching you play.

Ok. I guess tt's it. Even now, at this instant. I'm watching US Open with my father. Analysing the Pros. Lecturing me on my tennis skills. Cool~. I juz hope i remember these points when i play on monday.

Just mentioning how Serena fell down during one of the match. So ungraceful. With her size and big frame. I guess it can't be helped. She fell with her legs apart, like how the ballerina do the spilt. Haha~. Then my father said 'Fall down of cuz ungraceful lar, if graceful, it's not fall down. If can balance that well, she would nv fall down.' Hmmm~...No comment.

Ooo...next match would be Federer against Santoro. I juz wonder how he's gonna take all the fast balls coming his way with double forehand AND backhand. Where got time!? I juz love watching Federer play. He's so calm and cool throughout his matches, except after the match lar. Cuz he will always cry after winning a Grand Slam. Haha~, I WOULD cry if I WON a grand slam. Haha~...Who wouldn't? Not Sharapova. She didn't cry. = P

Look forward to tomorrow too. Gonna play with my bro and my 2 aunts. Yes!! Aunt Lucy( one of my aunt's friend) couldn't play tomorrow. Tt's y my bro is playing. Why am i so happy? Cuz i can finally hit a hard shot back. Haha~.

Cuz with Aunt Lucy there, she would complain that i'm too good to play with them. Well?! I can't help it right? I'm suppose to represent Ngee Ann? She kept saying that my balls are so hard, fast and always so aggressive, cuz i play with the men (namely, my father and brother). Wah...Sore loser. If that's the case, improve ur game lar! Am i suppose to compromise MY game FOR YOU?~ Hello?! Well, i have to admit that i'm the one setting the standards during the games, if u 3 women are not happy with me, improve ur game and beat me lar. Haiyoh~. Ok. Do I have the right to say that? Haha. Come on lar, don't show ur black face to me whenever u lose, that juz confirm my thoughts of u. Sore Loser. But too bad, these are my seniors, they are all older than me. I can't critisize them right in their faces. The only person i can do that to, it's my older brother. Haha~. So ever since, i've been controlling my speed and direction of the ball, specially for her. I guess the good side would be helping myself practise my direction of the ball and controlling the speed. Yupz. Now, i can control where i want my ball to go. Used to suck at that. Thanx? To Aunt Lucy? For helping me? Haha~.

Anyway, gonna use my father's racket tomorrow, so i get used to it on mon. Suppose to bring 2 rackets. Wah. Like pro yar? Haha~...

Having mixed feelings now though. Dunno whether to feel excited? Terrified? Upbeat? Haiyoh~...
