A Desirably De'stressing Day Indeed

Now that the exam season has approached, it is in every student's minds to bury their heads into thick piles of books and notes. A typical scenario from a student's perception...

But...
On Wednesday, there were 4 happy crazy friends where studying was simply the last thing they had in mind at that particular time...


It was early in the afternoon where out of the blue, Gavin, Emily, Zie Yeung and I decided to play badminton. And so, being our only transporter, Gavin fetched us up with his Viva around 4.20. We had booked the court located outside of MMU for 4.30


On the way, Gavin just couldn't help but criticizing us, Ipohlians.
WE IPOHLIANS DO NOT FFK OK!!!!!!!!!!
Debating all the way, I tried to put some sense into the thick skull of his. The day that
most Ipohlians will FFK, will be the day that pigs will be able to run faster than a speeding train !!!!


We reached the place at approximately 4.35 I think.
It has been damn freaking long since we last touched the racket and wasting not even a second, we started whacking the shuttle cocks up sky high..
It was clearly obvious that our skills had deteriorated, badly...
our reflexes were slow....
our smashes were blunt....
Nevertheless, our statistical skills are as follows:

Zie Yeung - The expert
Thean Ming - The not so expert type
Gavin - so so only
Emily - so so so only

After like 30 minutes or so, we played a few matches of doubles..
Yeah, I have to admit, we kinda suck in badminton...

OUCH!!!!

Zie Yeung powerfully smashed the cock and it shot right at my forehead.

OOOOUCH!!!!

As the flying cock came intact with my forehead, the momentum of the feathery object had exerted a vast amount of force, tilting my head as if were shot by a bullet..
PAIN WEI!!!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHA
In the end,
everyone including me, burst out laughing...


We continued playing...

Gavin never failed to hit the cock outside the court...
Emily always failed to jump HIGHER...
And I keep smashing at the net....
Haiz...



Emily seemed pretty grounded to the floor as she had problems defying gravity
haha..
(Dun worry Emily, we'll put the blame on the high inertia that u possess =P)

While resting, we bought isotonic drinks and to my astonishment, Gavin was teaching an old lady on how to use a calculator.

WHOA?????????
A simple calculator wor???????
yeah...
a simple calculator...
The 'sophisticated' piece of technology proved to be a challenge for the lady, but with some struggle, she managed to get a hang of it...
We can't blame her as calculators weren't even invented when she was young...


Then one of us had this 'brilliant' idea of
PUNISHING those who loses the badminton match..

If
LOSE, RUN around the 4 badminton courts...in FRONT of other people..
Humiliating huh???
Well, we have kinda thick skins and tak tau malu punya...
That is why we took up the challenge =P


We played 2 matches.
The first match was:


Zie Yeung & Gavin VS Emily & Me

Since Zie Yeung is soooo keng, it was not surprising that me and Emily lost the match.
However, we proved to them that we didn't mampus that badly muahahahaha
But we still had to run a lap though....



The second match was:

Zie Yeung & Me VS Emily & Gavin

Expectedly, Zie Yeung and I won the match and so, Gavin and Emily had to run one lap.
Poor Emily...she was the only soul who had to run 2 laps in total.

Poor thing..

But looking on the bright side though, of all the people, she needed the laps the most =P



Zie Yeung escaped with a sinister laughter while enjoying watching us run laps.

When it hit 6.30,

we left the place..


went back to take a bath

and met up again for dinner at 7.30

Here, we adopted a friend who's name is Kei Fai.
And so, the 5 of us hit the road in Gavin's car again.....



Pizza Hut as our destinate place to dine...




Ahh, a haven for all pizza lovers!!!






Since all of us were famished, the fact that there were 5 of us and most importantly, super heavy eaters were present in our group, we agreed to choose meal 6 which has:


6 bowls of soups,
8 bread sticks,
1 large pizza
1 regular pizza
1 jug of Pepsi


Thai Seafood
(large)




Hawaiian Supreme
(regular)



YUMMEEEEEEE !!!!!!


Altough the pizzas that we ate looked NOTHING like the pictures above as the toppings were selfishly insufficient, we couldn't give a damn.
We were juz sooo hungry!!!!
Even the most disgusting food would be a scrumptious treat a desperately starving person.


We added loads of CHEESE into the soups and of course, onto the pizza as well...
Mmmmmmm.....



Then, immediately after paying the bill, we went to a shop which sold 'tong sui' (a chinese sweetish soup dessert). The place was just around the corner and after a heavy meal, we gladly took the opportunity to go for a little walk.
We ta pao'd the dessert since we didn't wanna waste much of Gavin's time..
He had to rush back to MMU to meet a special person.
Ahh, it was his QT.......
=P

Oh well, at least I would be a able to touch my books hehe...
I haven't really started studying yet and here we are enjoying ourselves..
Haha, crazy it may seem...
But to us, we had lots of fun and that's all that matters most...
Fun ALWAYS comes before Studies
Lol

(it's even proven if placed in alphabetical order as the 'F' comes before 'S' !!!!)


=P
