Head Nano Ti.S1

bought my racquet today :D
after 3 to 4 hrs in Queensway. my sis said we're horribly undesicive people. ok i shan't argue about that. actually went out at 1 plus and reach home at 9. omg...i swear my mom just sort of pretended my racquet didnt exist. either that or she just assume it's my aunt's one.

i have major headache now. all thanks to the shrilly singing from the cherry berry' s (haha ok, it's strawberry shortcake) at J8 that penetrated my ear drums and kaboom... that was the final blow for my head.

okay i shall blog more about the process of buying the racquet now. since it was 3 hrs, should be plenty to blog about.

in fact, it was the first time I went Queensway. (Face it, why would a 15 year old band member ever go to such a place??) i was amazed i actually even reached there. first we took the wrong train, then alighted at the "wrong" stop. -______-

anyway, we took pretty long to reach. we explored the place first. like two aliens just landed on earth (felt quite sua ku, like I never even heard of Queensway...) it was quite a crowded place and cram too. the way the shops were located was very disorganised. walked around in circles and checked out all the tennis shops.

called the coach, and he didnt pick up. so i typed all the questions and was ready to sms. took me so long to type everything, and like he call me back when i was about to send it... -____- so i was asking him the grip size and everything and i was talking on top of this crystal confectionary... was kind of scared my phone drop down into other people's waffle. heh. couldn't really catch what he was talking about then half way the coach drop his phone. so got cut off. then we walk round the shops again. then i called back again. then walk round the shops again. then talk again. like dont know how many times... and the amazing thing is that whenever crystal ask me "what did the coach say?" after i put down the phone, then i'll give her a stupid look, and remain silent then say "cant rmb" then laugh... but i rmb the important parts. cause it was mostly rubbish. yeh, always hear all the wrong stuff. like he was saying his racquet is long swing. i heard as non-swing. then i'm like racquet got non-swing one uh? then i think he also heard wrongly. so basically majority of the whole conversation was like wrong. hahah. until he repeated again. then i realise it was long swing. haha. non-swing, stupid me. then i think he was like either driving or taking his racquet... then i heard as he was swinging his racquet... haha then crystal was like, why would he be swinging his racquet. come to think of it, the whole thing was dumb... and funny i guess. then he was asking me to do the full swing, i said the shop is kind of small... to do such a big action thing. then he's like go elsewhere. i'm like thinking it's so wierd, to take the racquet out of the shop and do a full strenth swing. blearghs. ok so i never did it. i'll just lie that i did. then he's like saying, tell the guy "my coach recommend me to buy racquet from this shop, and he say you should give me a discount" okay so i didnt tell the guy. cause i was like kind of awkward already, going into the shop so many times. in in out out. yeh. the guy was quite nice though. still give us some discount la. and the coach actually recommended that shop. didnt know my coach was refering to that shop until i purchased the racquet cause i was in the shop. so i couldnt really see the shop name. haha.

oh and i want to carp about this lady. blahs. another shop that sell the same racquet. wanted to buy from her initially cause it was cheaper there. but she annoyed me and crystal. she was rather cant be bothered to serve us after we had entered her shop a few times, cause we didnt look like we were going to buy anything and to her perhaps we would just a big waste of her time if she were to serve us. she started saying stuff like "talk no use..." blah blahh... she was like commenting she may not have the stock for the racquet of suitable grip size for my hand. and coincidentally at that time, i was taking out my wallet to check my money. i guess she saw it. so she took the racquet for me. then i was asking if it comes with free overgrip. and she was so nasty. she said i didnt need it. like i can just use the "cushion" that was already there cos my hand wasnt big enough. like i dont think anyone uses racquet without overgrip. then i was asking about crystal's racquet S2. then she said smth like nobody looks on the inside one.. people look at the outside. it's the same lah. please. inside outside, both write the same stuff what. then she said that was an old model. and their shop only sell new racquets. then she ask how much they sell...i know they were selling it ex, decided not to tell her, so i just told her slightly more ex. and she made more comments like, "aiya they know this kind of racquet dont exist anymore trying to cope more money." so i was like very irked by her. decided to buy downstairs instead.

when we went downstairs the person say it's not really that old. like less than 3 months lah. and the person was more willing to explain stuff to us, so bought the S1 and S2 racquet there. and it was in fact cheaper there after discount. and it comes with free overgrip that was suppose to protect the "cushion" she was refering about. cause changing the "cushion" cost more. she's just another stupid woman like my conductor...

shall not spoil such a beautiful night by talking anymore about such people. going off to sleep...
