Practising Badminton at Malaysia

I come back to Malaysia already and I will stay at here for one week. However, I will still continue my practising in badminton. This is because it can helps me to recall and improve my skill in the technique of badminton. I will ask my brother to practise with me as I cannot practise with my roomates in Singapore.

I will practise with my brother at 5 o'clock in the evening because the wether at the time is suitable for us to practise. We will stop practising at 8 o'clock as it is time for us to have dinner. We will try to practise everyday except my brother or me is not free. Sometime, my father or my mother will also and teach and practise with me if they are free. So, i can also learn some technique of badminton from them.

Lastly, i hope that i can improve my skill in playing badminton and some new technique along the week i stay ay Malaysia.

Starting Practise Playing Badminton

Today, I have no class in the school. So, I have decide to start practising the badminton. I do not need to buy the new badminton rackets and the shuttlecock. This is because my friend,Cheng Xun brought them for me last Saturday. He is also one of them who will teach me to play the badminton. He had said that he will come to my house every Sunday to teach me except he is not free.

I only start practising the badminton together with my roomates today. I have been learned about the basic of the badminton which is how to play the badminton with backhand technique. I think i can master the skill of this technique after i practising it for a few more weeks.
