I went out to service my car today at Magnussen's Lexus at Fremont. Morning breakfast was rushed coz everyone came down late and I left the house at 7.45am but thank goodness, traffic wasn't bad coz I managed to arrive on time for my appointment at 8.30am. Asked the service personnel if my car can be done by 10.30am and she said, "no problem." I then went to the Business Center and started to reply my emails and they finally was done by 10.34am which means, I was LATE for lessons with Larry which was supposed to be at 10.30am. I hate it when I am late coz my mind is not focus and everything's a blur. Today, Larry had his computer and camera on and he's going to take a shot of our serves and show us where our flaws are and correct us from there. When it came to my turn, I was nervous coz being assessed is not something I look forward to although I know it'll be for my own good. Also, what happens if I look like a clown when I serve? Oh dear....But I took it all in and tried to relax as the camera captured the serve and Larry showed it to me. Actually, if I may say so myself, I do look like I served pretty well (perasan case, hahaha) with a very high propelling kickback as high as my right shoulder on my right leg. Wilson commented that it must be due to some kung fu fighting background I may have and told me that in future, he will stay clear of my path whenever I serve, hahaha. Anyway, Larry corrected my swing coz he said that I am waiting too long for the ball toss to drop thus, losing momentum and oomph when I finally hit it. Well, as usual, with change, the service game was tough when we finally had match play and I didn't play well coz my mind was still focused on the serve and how to do it correctly. Class was done by 12pm and I vowed to come by early on Friday morning to practice my new serve before I play with the Friday's group of ladies. Will see how it goes... I can betcha the serve's going to go awry b4 it helps, sigh....

Came home, cooked lunch, fetch Sam from school and then tried to figure out how to instal the Acronis Back up software for my computer and laptop coz the Conficker Worm C which was supposed to infect all the PCs on 1 April sounds scary and I am not taking chances esp when I have gone through the pains of starting from scratch when Sam's laptop crashed on her recently. Then, watched American Idol with Ed which saw Michael Sarver being eliminated....
