Veralene (Pei Shan has given herself a brand new English name), Yong Liang (Yong Liang’s parents gave him this name), Zhi Yuan and I left class at 11:45 a.m. and head down to the Community Service and Cultural Club (CSCC) club house to borrow 4 tennis rackets. Each tennis racket comes with 2 tennis balls.
This isn’t the norm. Aren’t we supposed to play badminton? Oh, we changed. Today is Tennis Day. We did our bookings for the court and went there realizing that we do not need to book them at all! No one is playing tennis there, meaning that the courts are free to be used by anyone.
It’s Zhi Yuan and my first time playing tennis. I have to admit that the only time I touched tennis rackets in at one of those sporting equipment shops. I often ‘admire’ their prices. They belong to what I would call a touch-but-cannot-purchase section.
So, the subject says “tennis//wet”, you’ve seen the tennis. “What’s this ‘wet’ about?” you wondered. Well, we got wet. Literally.
The sky blessed us with slight showers after we played for 15 minutes. We continued to play for a while until the sky blesses us with much more.
We returned our tennis balls and rackets and ate lunch instead. After a hearty meal, the rain stopped. How interesting weather…
Addition: We did return to borrow those rackets and stuff again, but this time from Chemical and Life Sciences club house. We played till 2 p.m. and proceed to Dr. Xu’s class which then ended at 3. We then armed ourselves with rackets and played for an hour then proceed to the one-hour Web Publishing class at 4 p.m..
