In Action At HST Ipoh Badminton Arena

Took down my badminton racket again from the store room... just couldn't resist not going for a game or two in my friend's recently-opened-arena in Ipoh Ampang.  I thought my racket would be hung up for good after an injury on my shoulder and arm few years ago.  And a recent slipped ankle did not deter me either so here I am... playing my heart's out....

Badminton is the only game I have passion for... I am not good at all but I just love to run about and chase after the shuttle... LOL.. .well, I believe that with proper training and all, I could be a good player.. that is if  I were forty years younger!  hahahahaha...
At HST Ipoh Badminton Arena....
Quite crowded especially in the evenings...
In action again....
Have turned "rusty" in my games...
Not so strong and accurate anymore...
Cannot jump as high as before...
Too heavy now...
(and I wonder where my racket is.... can you see it?)
hahahahaa.....
 Love a good game if all the players are compatible..
Well, I guess my badminton racket does not have to turn rusty after all...
But I need to buy a new pair of badminton shoes though...
The present pair have turned into a"crocodile!"
That proves how long my shoes have been idling in the shoe cupboard!

    I love Badminton too, Claire! But here in the states it is all about tennis. We have a badminton set and the girls love to play in the front yard...just for fun, not a scoring match!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
