christmas is coming.

this year no christmas mood. maybe it's cause i'm the one with the empty wallet ): and i dont really want anything besides a tennis racquet and a few tennis balls. haha.

other minor things i want for christmas:
deuter bag
tennis shoe... (haha if anyone wants to give to me, i wont mind)
handphone pouch (mind you, not a sock k)
cookies and chocolates
full house vcd/dvd
soft toys?
comforter
school shoes

okay see i have a list here. but i cant ask for a deuter bag, tennis shoes, handphone pouch, full house vcd/dvd, comforter. so there's only like not much left. poo. but seriously none of the above really matters to me. like a bag, i can wait till jc. and full house vcd/dvd, i probably have no time to watch. comforter, i can always use the old one. sigh but without a racquet by christmas i'd be so upset. but i doubt i would let myself be so upset. i'd probably fork out the money somehow and buy one for myself. not forgeting it's 100 plus. argh.

tennis.. an expensive sport. why?

Court fees
badminton you can just play anywhere not like tennis have to book courts. and the courts is like 9.50 on peak hours. and 3.50 on non-peak hours(the super hot hours on weekdays)

tennis balls/shuttlecocks
and you can buy plenty of shuttlecocks with 9 dollars but only 3 tennis balls with that. buy a plastic shuttlecock and it can last forever. a tennis ball will lose it's bounce...

racquet
a relatively good badminton racquet probably cost 15 dollars. an okay tennis racquet costs 100 plus

shoes
you probably can play badminton using anykind of shoes. tennis wears out shoes quickly, even running shoes. so there u have it, the tennis shoes in the shop with it's big price tag beaming at you.

lessons
you can play badminton without lessons. but not tennis. and badminton lessons are not even half as expensive. tennis lessons cost a bomb.

although i can always live without a racquet. like just use the coach's one. haha but i want a racquet.

"you expect me to pay for that woman? you're nuts!!"
