This will be a list of things that I will be setting for myself to do within the remaining months in the year. It will just be random things that I was to complete in no specific orders.

This post is follow up post to the last one. One of my friend read the post and text me saying "It sounded like you want to suicide"...I was like NOOOO WAY. I love life too much to even think about ending my life. And with my friends around, there is no way that I would want to miss all this FUN. That post reflects the true feeling about my life because of career wise, but I ain't planning to ending it. I'll let that come naturally LOL. So in this post, I will be talking about something that is happy in my life right now.

It has been two year since Tony and I finished P90X. But these past two year we have been more focus on improving in badminton and kind of slacked off on working out. We have tried many time to start P90X again, but it tends to fall apart within the first week. Each time one of us will be like slacking and then both stops X(. We even went to YMCA, but it was just really lay back work out. We went for swimming the most. It feels so damn good after working out to just float in the water.

Here is the happy thing, we are finally back on P90X. This time we got more friends joining us as well. Lets give an hand for Matt, Kelly, Sarah and the occasionally Hoey. These are my work out buddy now, of course Tony as well, cause we are using his basement. It has already been a month since we started P90X. Even though we don't do everyday of the videos (Not everyone has the time to la.), so we mostly focus on the ones that gives the best result. Some of us are trying to lose weights, some are trying to get tone and ripped, and there is someone for size. We usually do three days of the P90X, Monday is Chest and Back; Wednesday is Shoulder Bi - Tri, and Thursday for Yoga. Results has been showing for me, after 1 month of time I feel like I have gone back to the form when I finished my first round of P90X. This feeling is good. But Kelly would still call me a TWIG...sad. But this is a good drive for me to get buff. Errr...not buff but more ripped. So a ripped Twig, I am fine with that. And training the body is an excellent way to improve in badminton =D.

The most proud is that I am glade that my friends didn't give up on the work out. I know that only working three days of a 7 day video is not that much, but it is A LOT for someone people, even for me. One is that I am proud of Matt being able to give me a challenge into pushing me further along and I will be setting a bar for him to break. Second is that the girls has been improving since the first day, results might not be that clear right now, but as long as we keep up, it will be good. As for Tony and Hoey, their main goal would be to lost weight, they will be able to if we keep up.

Come on guys and girls, lets put our all into the following two months and be in the best shape of our life.
LOL =P

Lately I been feeling pressure that Life is becoming too short. Things from reality has finally caught up to me. Almost turning 25, it feels that I might have to finally face my life. As of now, there isn't much in my life to be proud of. The only thing that I am happy about is that I am enjoy my current life style. Being able to hang out with friends, playing badminton, and not really have to worry that much about life yet. 

Hehehehe, almost forgot that I have this blog. It has been two years that I haven't posted anything new. But lately, for some odd reason I wanted to start again. Maybe it was due to a talk at a dinner with friends about diaries and blog that we used to write. Or maybe its just to kill off some of the times that I have.

So much have change in these two years. Two things that remained the same are my friends, and my love for badminton. Well, for badminton it has increased dramatically. Some of my friends calls me a badminton freak XD. Love the name because badminton has become an important part of my life. Through these two years, I have researched and studied badminton videos including actual games and coaching videos. The new skills and techniques that I have attained has allow me to move onto a higher level in badminton. Looking back at the level two years ago, I started laughing at myself. I can take the old me with 10% of my current. The time in two years can change someone so much. Anyway, back to badminton. Speed, power, technique has increased 10 fold. These improvement didn't come easy though. Without a coach its really hard to improve. Looking back at the stages that I went through, I realized that every time after playing in a tournament, I will improve some.


I still remembering the first time I went to the badminton tournament at UTSC. There was both men's doubles and men's singles. I enter both. For doubles, I was team with the new friend call John. His level is pretty much the same as me during 2010. But as for the result, sigh...bad endings lol. Got knocked out in two straight matches. But from that tournament, I got the hang and the timing of jump smashing. I guess losing is can be a good thing. 

There were couple more tournaments, but those aren't worth mentioning. But from each tournament that I have been in, I have realize more of my weak points. With that in mind, I started researching badminton and practising more and also playing WAY more.

Another turning point was when I joined one of my friend in his training session with a badminton coach. I have seem that coach's training before, I thought they would be a piece of cake. But once I tried that night, it was tough. Just doing one kinda of drill was killing me. Within the first 15 minute, I was drenched in my own sweat. And one thing, never do badminton training right after eating, BAD BAD idea. Almost threw up after the training session. This was the turning point because from that training, I have learned the proper way of moving around the courts, Foot work. Started practising more, training my legs to be stronger and faster. The very next time that I played badminton, I can move around the courts with ease, being faster makes SO much difference in badminton. Before then, I was pretty good at reading the game and the flow of the shots already, but I would always react late and be late to the shots cause of improper foot work.


Right now its time to learn the advance skills like a back hand SMASH LOL. Anyway, its pretty late. More updates coming la.
