I am always late with my blog dates and it is starting to confuse the heck out of me. Anyway, last night, I played another match for Malini's team. In the morning, went for my singles tennis lessons with Larry. Emily Sah joined me too but we're only doing this like once a month coz it's very expensive as it costs US$40 for an hour's lesson per person. After the lesson was done with at 10.30am, I couldn't resist joining another class coz this group is fun and all of us, namely, Shawn, Wilson and Mary have more or less the same standard. Larry said it's ok for me to join them so, I did. I played till 12.05pm and was really exhausted by then. Shawn asked me to stick around and play some more singles but I couldn't coz I had grocery shopping to do, have to cook lunch and fetch Sam from school. So, off I went to do my stuff.
After fetching Sam from school, ate lunch with her, put the laundry to wash, vacuumed the house a little (Monday's house cleaning day), took my bath and off I went to Club Sport Pleasanton at 5.45pm for my match which was scheduled for 8pm. The reason I started off early was to avoid the peak hour traffic jam which is notorious from Fremont to Pleasanton but surprisingly, traffic was very smooth that day (because I prayed) and I arrived at CSP at 6.30pm. Ate my dinner in the car and even managed to snooze a little till 7.10pm b4 I head down to the tennis courts. Malini arrived at 7.20pm but found out that there were no practice courts available for us to warm up. What a drag... The captain was supposed to book the courts so that the opposing team can warm up but looks like we'll have to make do with just the official 5 mins warm up. So, Graham Golder and me went on the court and warmed up together with our opponent Chee & KK. We lost the match eventually 6-7, 3-6. I was probably too tired that night coz like I said, probably still recovering from my lack of sleep on Sat nite coupled with the fact that I have been playing Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon so, my body's given up on me. I was impatient that night with my shots and my best just wasn't good enough to carry us through. Graham tried his best that night but his BH didn't work very well. It's just one of those BAD days we have on the tennis courts. Well, if there's any consolation, we didn't lose that badly and the best thing is, the team won in spite of our loss. We won 2-1 against CSP. For that, Malini's team climbed from a rank of 9, to 6 to 5 and now, her team is #4 and the top 4 teams will advance to league playoffs which is scheduled for April 17-19 & 24-26, 2009. Altho Malini's team has a few more matches to go, I am confident that the rest of her team members will see her through this season. Good luck Malini.
As for today, 3 March, we ate leftovers from yesterday coz Sam didn't finish the food as she wasn't in the mood to eat. She had a "not-so-good-day" with her friends at school but refused to divulge details so, I shall leave her with it and honor her privacy to stew in her self misery.
After sending Sam to school, I came home and took a short nap but was interrupted by phone calls, one of which was a wrong number (argh!) and the other, called and hung up. Urgh, so irritating. Then I received another call from my 7.0 captain, Al Marquez and we spoke in length and after that, I couldn't sleep anymore. Got up and decided to remove the bed frame in my office coz the mattresses was slipping through the frame as it was a smaller size than the frame itself. And sleeping on it this morning was very uncomfortable as I get a sinking feeling. After that, folded the clothes in the dryer, bathe, ate lunch and went out to fetch Sam from school and head straight off to the bowling alley. Today's lane condition was very dry and Sam hit scorelines of 177, 168 and 171 with average of 172.
And best of all, it rained the whole day today, yipee! Hopefully, the reservoir will be filled and San Jose won't have to go through the pains of water rationing anytime soon. Good nite for now...
