Almost Dead.

A round of about 20 minutes jog on straight, uphill and downhill paths followed by sessions of informal (no court, no net, no rules) badminton in Bandar Tasik Permaisuri, playing with:

i. Jacklyn's younger sister who wasn't willing to move much

ii. Jacklyn's youngest sister who spent lots of time picking up the shuttle

iii. Jacklyn who ordered me to navigate the shuttle towards her

iv. Father-in-law who had me picking up the shuttle a lot (because he was a better player) and

v. Mother-in-law who was better than the three sisters combined

I have now ended up with sore shoulders, a right arm that's almost numb, aching muscles on both thighs, a  pair of very tired feet and a wife that laughs at my every movement. Being a good brother-in-law, husband and son-in-law is not easy to achieve, it requires much sacrifice, both physically and mentally. Well, on the bright side, the racket finally saw some action after what can be categorized as centuries in the dark.

On an even brighter side, the company's badminton weekly sessions are on a verge of a revival!!! woohoo!
