It's been awhile...

Paeds posting is flying by and will end with the prerequisite OSCE test...

I cannot wait for the chance to play some mean tennis again... ah the sweet smell of new balls, the pristine symmetrical white markings of the court, and the familiar odour of my racket grip.... and I'll be ready to crack some shots.

They (ordinary Singaporeans, our parents, our teachers, our govt leaders, our coaches!) say that Singapore's tennis players are doomed to obscurity; that we'll buckle under the pressures of regional (not even international) competition; that we do not have the mental prowess to win the psychological battle that begins in our own minds.... Personally, I find that crap and if I weren't so old myself, I would like to prove them wrong heh... Well, at least, thanks to our almost sunny weather throughout the year, we can get to play the game we love everyday on the courts; and in our dreams.... and if the adrenaline forbids us to sleep, there's good'ole cable TV televising live matches and even past ones.... Graf vs Navratilova.... my fav!
