Played ping pong today. For someone who's used to relaying strength to rackets to hit balls, table tennis is no child's play. The orange bola is so light (compared to basketball - my pri sch game), and the bat so small (compared to badminton - my sec sch game), it's a herculean task to keep the bouncing ball in the game, on the table. It tends to fly.. up.. left.. right.. I've to make a super conscious effort to silently recite "keep it down, keep it down" at each return, with my arm holding the bat positioned in a rather strange location, perhaps too conscious of the need to treat things gently. But all said, it was good fun. At least, i'm learning a new skill, there is some sweat involved, my heart + muscles are working out and calories are being burnt.
Dad's still down. Coughing away in his sleep right now. =( Hope he recovers soon. Then perhaps, i can bring him to eat some grilled stuff, either turkish or brazilian..
Drizzling still. Pity our northern neighbours (if u've seen 'The Focus' yesterday night on tv). Sometimes, i'm really thankful to be borne on tiny red dot. Just a few kilometres away from a different destiny.
