ok, i've done it... i msg qing to purchase the n6 n-code racket for me... the dull black and white racket which i nv liked in the first place... after giving it much consideration, i tot that - i wasn't a gd player yet, and i needed a racket that suits me and the budget of $200... besides, if my skills do get better in the future, it wouldn't be too late to request for a better, nicer-looking and more costly racket from my folks... so, i guess i'll have to settle for this for the time being....
i did really like the babolat pure drive racket, which was used by andy roddick... the colour was definitely my kind... and when i compared the feeling of holding the 2 rackets - n-code and babolat, there wasn't much difference... Until qing told me it was meant for man... fine... then, i decided on the n5 racket, which was red... but qing said it was more competitive... i'm not sure wat he meant by that - issit it's not suitable for me yet or am i not competitive enuf to use it??? fine. then i ask for the n1 racket.. it's $500.... fine. so that juz left the n3 and the n6 rackets. both were the same... but i wasn't sure i like the colour of the n3 racket... and i din really get to use it.. so... i finally decided on the n6 one...
i talked to a friend last nite... asking her about the racket... we aren't really close friends though we were in the same class for 2 yrs... during some parts of the conversation... i kinda felt she was boasting... and irrelevant to wat i was saying... Like first... when she heard i got a coach, she said she was self-taught.... HUH?! what did that mean? she played alone on the court while browsing thru some tennis books? at that pt, i felt like challenging her to a match... it's not that i'm very good, i only attended 6 lessons until this pt, but the way she put it.. it was so!!! anyway, she said her racket - hammer 4 was very expensive..and it is used by the william sisters...WRONG.. i'm nt sure about venus, but serena uses n-code.... BOO!! then, the most exasperating part was... when i told her i'm feeling troubled over the choice of rackets, she said - 'no lah.. i got a free tennis bag" ???!!! huh?! what the hell?! out of nowhere leh...
well, i dun really have a gd impression of her now... maybe it's becos we were chatting on msn... so i can't really feel her tone... but her choice of words juz puzzles me...
in about 2 weeks time, i'll be going to jc... not sure whether i shld take up tennis... not even sure if i would dare to go for the try-outs... by that time, i'd have attended only 8 lessons, meant for beginners.. my shots are still all over the court... and i can't even serve... ohhh... it's so frustrating... i really dun wanna join band... but there's still the pt system thingy... boo....
