He's MINE!! All MINE!!! Sunday, July 30, 2006

Finally, FINALLY he is mine!! After so many months of waiting, anticipating, he is finally here. During this long wait, there were times when my heart wavered, and there were times when it felt like all hope was/were lost. BUT, in the end, everything turned out fine.

Bought the Wilson nSix-Two on 28 July. At first I wanted to wait for the demo racket, but I really really cannot wait le. While waiting for the guy to string my racket, we walked around for a bit before returning to the shop. That was when I saw these 2 guys holding MY racket n swinging it around. I was like, "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!?!WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO MY RACKET?!?!!? IF THEY TOUCH MY RACKET FOR THE SECOND TIME, I WANT TO CHANGE MY RACKET!!!" We chiong-ed into the shop and found out that one of the guys is a coach. So we were sitting there pretending to mind our own business while eavesdropping on what they were saying.

This is the gist of what they were saying:
"So what tension did you string your racket?"
"55 pounds"
"Oh, I don't string so low. I prefer higher tension and lower string gauge. For eg, 15 gauge string strung at 60 pounds."
"Oh so like that you wouldnt break your strings that often?"
Then the coach guy said this..
"Oh no no. I only broke my strings ONCE. All the other times, I cut my strings cause they feel dead."

When I heard that, I immediately looked at my mum. She turned to look at me too. I BET we were thinking the same thing. "What the hell? Coach only break his strings ONCE?! What type of coach is this? Even I can break so many strings."

That coach had that arrogant aura around him. At that time, I was relatively calmed down after I saw them fiddling with my racket. After I heard their dialogue, I really really cannot stand that coach. Coach who broke his strings once != good coach. Totally totally turned off by him. And he still can say until so hao lian like that. I ONLY BROKE MY STRINGS ONCE! PUI!!!!! You don't have the power and racket speed to break your strings, then don't come out to hao lian. Don't make excuses like, my strings feels dead. The reason why your strings are dead is because you have been using them for a long long long time, and are not able to break them, so you have no choice but to cut them.

So yucky la.. Even my mum, 51 years old, still breaks her strings regularly.

Call yourself a man?! Call yourself a coach?! Stop lying la.

I seriously felt that they jinxed my racket, so I asked my mum to de-jinx it by playing with it first. But, on the condition that she cannot hit balls that are below her ankle. Wait she scratch my racket.. =P

So today I played with it. It feels SOOOO good!! Worth every single day of my 5.5 month long wait.

Anyway, I watched Tokyo Drift with mon on friday. IT TOTALLY SUCKS!! Please DO NOT watch it. Even if you are a fast car fan, please do not watch it too. The storyline was approximately nil and the acting skills were non-existent. The car races were quite fake too..

Wheres Wally?
