May 31th, Badminton at Newton Rec Center

I invited Nicolas to come to the Newton Rec for the Family Badminton session today, and he actually brought his younger brothers and dad along too. It was fun playing with them because they were pretty good. Only that I wish the Newton Rec had more courts for the session; we had to share the two courts between about 15 people, and I never got the chance to play single against Nicolas, which was the main reason why I invited him over. Still, it was a good morning, getting to exercise and enjoying a sport at the same time.

May 18th, Badminton at Guildford Rec Center

This morning my family got up early, and we drove to the Guildford Recreation Center for the Family Badminton session there from 9 to 12.

The Guildford Rec Center has a much bigger gym than the Newton center - with 8 courts - and so allowed a lot more people to play, and I was able to find many opponents who were just as good or even better than myself. Playing against them was fun, and I was able to learn new techniques and strategies from different opponents.

I think I will be going there regularly on weekends - to have fun, exercise, and improve my skills.

Here are some pictures and video I took in the Rec Center:

 

May 17th, Badminton at Newton Rec Center

This morning I went with my mom and brother to the Newton Recreation Center, and played badminton there from 9 to 11:30. I met some people there who are pretty good, and played several games of singles and doubles with them.

I have been going to the Saturday morning badminton sessions there for over a month, and I really enjoy playing against worthy opponents. I'm also trying to help my brother practice and better his badminton skills.

 

March 10th, Badminton Team Practice

Today I had a practice for the Junior Badminton team. The practice was an hour long, and we played against each other in pairs for most of the time, and spend 10 minutes practicing serving and smashing. I was partners with Nicolas in doubles.

November 16th, Onion Eggs

Check this out: cut a ring of onion strip, then break the egg inside the ring to get a perfectly round fried eggs. Pretty cool breakfast right?
