Recently I spotted a National English player training with Datuk Lee's 1st coach in Berapit. His performance is not to be taken lightly cause I saw him beat a lot of the Juniors in Penang. The English boy is of Asian background. Mother from Malaysia and father from Hong Kong.
I had the pleasure of playing with him during his stay here. Before he started training with his local coach I could still get 6 to 7 points out of him. But after Mr Peng Huat's magic. I could barely get 3 points out of him. This boy really looks determined at his age compared to many of our boys the same age group.
I would expect to see him in the International Circuits in the near future, maybe in 2 to 3 years time. All the best to him and to those that made his stay in Malaysia memorable. A special thank you to Mr Mark Teh for all his help.

Mid 2010, Akina's New Dirrection
It's been a long time since I have updated the blog. The reason is simple, there's just nothing good to update the blog with until today.
Today, 25th July 2010, Team Akina will be having their annual dinner at Macang Bubuk BBQ Restaurant at 8.00pm. Hopefully it will not be cancelled again like before.
Due to irregular turn outs of the past. Team Akina's management has decided to merger with Team ( I can't really remember now) So now our team is much larger. Hopefully we will be in better shape with this merger.
Injury to our team Captain has made him quit his duties as Team Akina's captain. He will be stepping down by the end of this month. All funds will be transferred over to the other teams captain while I do not know yet : ) Akina's financial health is in very good shape and I hope it will be practiced too with the new management.
As of today, our new team will play every Thursdays and Fridays. Fees will be increased due to hike in Petrol and other basic commodities : ( (Joking) Fees are expected to be around RM20/ month. Guest are expected to pay a fee of RM5 - RM8 per session now. No more freebies from now on. Our new team consist of roughly 15 regular players. So If we get any bigger we might have to consider getting another court.
Quality of play of our team has dropped (my own opinion) We need to do something to lift our game. I think there is a friendy game being fixed somewhere in the near future, hopefully that would be a wake up call to us all.

Deepavali is over back to playing badminton.
Its been a week filled with food and a lot of eating. Deepavali goodies has just been too good this year. So I thinks ita about time to burn all that food by playing our favourite game. I hope the turn out would be good this Thursday. Last week only a handfull of us turned out due to many unforseen reasons so hopefully this week will be a full house.
Anyway, time to pack up my stuff for tonight and hopefully we will see a big turn out tonight. Catch you guys all later
