Crazy over table tennis...

I didn't know table tennis is so fun until the locals taught me the basics.
I love this game... Last month, i bought a "double happiness" table tennis paddle for about SGD$18 because there was a sales, and i have no regrets about it.
Both David(NYU) and i have two 师父 (teachers), Ivershing and Shadow. Shadow taught us the proper strokes and Ivershing do the drills of thousands over strokes until i managed to get the right posture and able to smack the ball right.
We ranked ourselves by playing against one another, training every night and play tournament weekly. In fact, i just came back from a game, 12am till 3am.
I didn't want stop the game, because i am starting to get the strokes right but the guys need to rest.
Last week, we played against one another for a bowl of Jelly, and i lost two games straight, and was seeded at the fifth position (last position).
Today, i managed to beat someone 2-0 out of 3 games, so i guess i am 4th now...
Really love this game now, will cherish every night of ping pong because i know i can't train so often when i am back in Singapore.
Below are some photos we took last week.
My photos are unglam because my strokes are TOTALLY WRONG!!!
Will try to take a video of our game, you will be amazed to see how our 师父 (teachers) play THE GAME..

Linda Chung Show @ Telford Plaza II

Today, we went to have CharSiew/SiewYoke/SiewAu rice at 大兴restaurant at Megabox, it is simply delicious!!! I went with Timorty, Leslie and Jinde... After that we head toward Telford Plaza II as crazy fans of Linda Chung, the number 1 actress in Hong Kong drama industry. Though she can act, but her singing is so-so, just slightly above average... Well, enjoy the photos!

After the show, we went to walk around the neighbourhood area of Tao Da, where the SARS outbreak first spread out...

Hike up Fei Ngo Shan (Kowloon Peak)

TGIF!!!! While most of the exchange students head towards Lan Kwai Fong for clubbing, the few of us chose to hike up Kowloon Peak or Fei Ngo Shan, where the locals say it's not recommended because there were no stairs for us to hike up. We had to walk on the main road where some Initial D fanatics do their racing. (I AM SERIOUS!!! We saw many nice sportscars parking by the side of the road on our way up.) It is also said that there were wild boars and dogs , but sadly, we only see some stray dogs.

We were all standing at the observatory area of the peak where many drama were once filmed. (溏心风暴二 之 家好月圆 was filmed here, you know which scene was it?

After taking a few photos, we hiked down to the base. It took us half an hour...

After our hardship, we decided to go for some good food! i craved for Thai food, so we took a bus to Kowloon City, also known as Mini Bangkok because there were so many Thai restaurants there!

Tom "Yum-my" Goong!!!

Behind the scene video....

God of Fortune!

Can't wait for Chinese New Year to come....

Some photos from Halloween night at Lan Kwai Fong

From far, i thought he was Fortune God! haha! then i realized that i need to change my contact lenses' degree.. It's the King of Hell?

Erhem... this is at the MTR station where the guys managed to get hold of the nurses. Daring people...

Turn-off of the night... When we asked them to take a photo with us, they replied in a Hunky voice...

We are posing outside Macdonalds. Apparently, many others came over to take photos with them after me. They are pretty popular that night.

This is my favorite photo!!!! I watch Power Ranger when i am young, so this really brings back good memories... Lol!!

The costumes are colourful, but abit wrong for Halloween...

They looked friendly, and not scary at all...

I love this picture! He is looking at me innocently: why this weird uncle take a photo of me?

Best Dress! They totally freak me out...

That's all, will post more hong kong photos soon!
