One morning a blogger friend asked me how I am doing. I told him that I am turning bad. “Turning bad?” Clueless, he asked. “I am turning an addict, a badminton addict I mean.” I replied. How did I come to an idea that I am turning one?
First, I play it 3 to 4 times a week. I even skip my weight training and running so that I can play, and ever I go to the gym, I would exercise my wrist and forearm only. Yeah, I would look like an idiot picking up a two-pound dumbbell and rotate my wrist clockwise and counterclockwise like a boxer skipping rope. I am not sure if any of my gym mates knew why I am doing this.
Second, I bought a new racket. It’s a Yonex Nano 500, obviously with a nano technology. Now, what is nano technology? Just type nano in Wikipedia or favorite search engine. Hehehe. Aside from a new racket, I bought four condom grips, two football sport jerseys, and two Adidas clima cool shirts. My non-marking sole rubber shoes needs replacement but it can wait.
Third, I invite all my friends and acquaintances to play badminton with us. Yes, I do not choose my opponents. It does not matter if they’re beginner or not as long as he or she can hit a shuttle cock with a racket, they’re in. I could even spend some time to teach them.
Fourth, I dreamt and day dreamt playing badminton. Can you imagine that?
Lastly, I have been blogging and twittering it since the last two months. I think it would be the subject of this blog until the tournament finals. I can bore you with it but hey, I am an addict right?
Who would want to join me in my addiction?
