First, we have the birds. Then, we have the mallards. Now, it is a frog swimming in my pool. Maybe mother nature is trying to tell me something. Perhaps I should convert my pool into a pond!

This little froggy must've fallen inside by accident coz it's been in there for 2 days swimming breast stroke from one end to the other. I wonder if it ever gets tired and die from exhaustion. We shall see what happens. I think Kevin, our pool maintenance guy will probably help it out and set it free again tomorrow whe he comes to clean the pool.

Today is housekeeping day again but I promised Emily to go play ball machine with her at 9am so, I went. I also committed to practicing with the 3.0 team which I've just signed up for with CH Shek's group. Ball machine practice was ok. Emily was kinda teethering on being sick coz she's got a bad sore throat. Let's pray with some exercise and sweat, she'll feel better. I had a good time hitting the ball as hard as I could and it feels good. Now that I am nicely warmed up, I moved on to play with the 3.0 ladies. They were Sylvia, Elizabeth and Xiao Lu.

First, I partnered with Sylvia and we won 6-2. Then, I partnered with Xiao Lu and won 6-2. Finally, partnered with Elizabeth and won by the skin of our teeth. It was an interesting last game as we traded lots of shots and ran all over the court. But I was dead tired and was hoping to close out the match while we were leading 5-4 with Elizabeth serving. But they broke back and we leveled at 5-5 before we broke Sylvia's serve to go up 6-5 and holding my own and win it 7-5. It was exhausting by the time I was through with 3 sets of tennis.

Coming home to face housekeeping, oh my gosh, it's a grim day..... and a long grim day..... what more can I say, sigh.....
