Holi-MiZ 5: First Time with Squash and Tennis

24 May 2005
First thing in the morning other than having my breakfast was to play with my GameCube. After that, when I got back to my computer at around 11am, PSQ message me through MSN, asking me if I want to go to his house to play squash, tennis and swimming. I agreed with that, but told him that I will be skipping swimming as I didn't really feel like swimming, and I also did not have my swimwear at home.

Went out at about 12pm. Had my lunch at Long John Silver at Junction 8. I had a very fast lunch because I had to meet PSQ at 1pm at Bedok station, which would take me more than 30 minutes to reach there.

When I reached Bedok station at about 1pm, I only met PSQ there. I then realised that I was the first person to come. Hmm... should have took my time eating instead. Later, JR and WH came. JR told PSQ that we need to have more tennis balls so PSQ asked me to come along with him to look for tennis balls at Bedok. After buying the tennis balls, we then met JH near the Bedok food centre and WQ at the bus interchange. WB came just before we boarded the bus to PSQ house.

After we alighted from the bus, some of the people went to buy lunch from the food centre nearby as they had not have their lunch yet. Tehn we proceed on to PSQ and they had their lunch there before starting our game.

I tried playing squash first. Hmm... didn't know that squash can be quite fun to play. I was quite tiring though, when I had to chase with the ball and hit it back with the squash racket. After that, I tried playing tennis. Well, whenever I try to hit the ball back, I would always miss. I also accidentely hit the ball outside the court 2 times, in which only one of the ball could be retrived easily, the other ball fell outside the property. Well, since PSQ paid for the balls, I supposed it should be ok...

After playing squash and tennis for about 1 hour, they decided to have a swim. As I did not have my swimwear with me, and I did not feel like swimming, I just sit by the side and watch them swimming.

After that, we decided to have steamboat for dinner at Bedok North. I took the taxi there as we did not know how to get there by bus. Well, when PSQ was ordering something, he had to call his mom about the food he wanted to order, but don't know the name. Hmm... the person serving us thought that there was another person coming as well because of that. Well, I didn't really eat that much even though each of us had to pay about $12, but the food was generally ok...

After that, we took a bus to Pasir Ris. It wasn't really intentional though, as we boarded the bus at the wrong bus stop. Well, never mind about that, I could go to White Sands and had a walk around there. After reading some books from the library, I then went back home with the rest of the people.
