2 New Sports in a Day


She received an art set from Siew for Christmas which has 2 boxes of chalk in it. We haven't got a chalkboard, so decided to bring the chalks to the void deck and draw there. Introduced her to hopscotch. She can manage jumping around on 1 leg very well. Then we improved the game to having our "homes" square which the other party cannot step on. I am impressed that she can understand this rule and can stay out of my square successfully. I shall improve the game further to make it more advance for her next time we play. *evil laugh*


Later at night we went to her uncle VK's chalet at East Coast. The chalet has changed management and is now called Island Resort instead of UDMC East Coast. Her uncle introduced her to Badminton. She plays it solo, but of course can't hit the shuttlecocks at all, but he keeps encouraging her by saying "good, ok, 123.....". Each time she swings the racket and attempt to hit the shuttlecock, he says GOOD. Then she picks up the shuttlecock and puts it on the racket, he says OK. As she ready herself to swing again, he preps her by saying 123. That goes on for at least 15 times, till QY was repeatedly mumbling the words "good, ok, 123" to herself, concentrating hard on her practice. But all this time, VK had already walked away. It was hilarious.
