Super Sunday
7:18 PM
Mom decided to restart tennis classes for Thrish and me so we woke up early this morning for our first class. It's such a drag waking up early on a Sunday morning. Was tempted to fall right back into a deep deep sleep right after hitting the snooze button on my cell but then caught a glimpse of Jeremy's message urging me to check my e mail and i was up and out, partly coz of the curiosity but mostly coz the whole tennis thing was my idea so it was not very logical for me to procrastinate......
Anywayz, practice was awesome. Personally, picking up the tennis balls from the far ends of the court was more tiring than playing itself but today was only the first lesson so i can't say..... We learnt strokes, and backstrokes and how to serve and 'roll' the tennis ball. Having played squash for so long and exerting ultimate strength with every serve, i think i kinda had to get used to tennis coz there's a lotta technique involved.. I had to force myself to quit exerting so much power during the serves which was frustrating. I like intensity! I like doing physical stuff that makes me sweat like a running tap and leaves my muscles feeling sore after...
Must say that tennis was a rather refreshing switch from my normal physical activities. The coach-Moon was very patient as well. Very chatty, laughy and stocky ... Thank GOd he's not cute/hot/buff coz then i would've ended up checking him out the entire time instead of swinging at the tennis balls.. According to him, Thrish is a natural, she has that gentle swing and catches up fast whereas i on the other hand had too much power in me. I had to ease up on the energetic swings. Oh well! I don't mind being the slow learner, just as long as i do learn... I thought my serves were pretty good though.
Went for a swim afterwards. Needed to release some steam... Ahhhhh! Endorphins!!!
Just checked my mail! JJ sent me the new Linkin Park single!!! So excited, can't wait to up load it on my ipod and start listening to it!! THANXXXX Jeremy!! It sounds really really good!
