Bermula dari melihat berita Kallang Tennis Hub sudah buka untuk umum, aku dan teman who also love to play tennis, akhirnya memutuskan buat mencoba bermain di sana. Ngga semudah itu perjuangannya. Dari hunting cara book lapangan sampai nekat mau pinjem nomor tukang reparasi laptop demi bisa maen, jujur struggle tapi konyol. 
Ini bikin kita mutusin buat punya backup plan dengan pesen hotel yang punya lapangan tennis tapi sampai ternyata kita ngga bisa langsung maen di sana dan malah dimarahin sama aunty. Ada aja kisahnya. Long story short, kita berhasil maen di Kallang Tennis Hub, berbekal kemurahan hati uncle yang jaga & lapangan yang awalnya digunain buat pertandingan kosong (dimana sebelumnya kita hanya berhasil dapat jatah main di Junior Court akibat jadwal pertandingan). Kesampaian juga maen tennis disambut dengan udara bersih dan kicauan burung ini.
Just in case, kalian mau maen juga, bisa langsung aja book di website https://www.sportshub.com.sg/ . Wajib H-7 dari tanggal main. Check out the footage down below!

It’s all stared by saw the news that the Kallang Tennis Hub is open for public, my friend and I -who also love to play tennis- finally decided to give a shot. Trust me, it’s a long story. From hunting ways to book a field until I randomly borrow Singaporean phone number from my past laptop repairman, just for the sake to be able to play tennis at Singapore public area. Honestly it was a bit troublesome but somehow sound so ridiculous.

This time, me and my husband decided to spend long weekend holiday with our family. We went to Bogor, and specifically choose this hotel because it has tennis court. 

At first, I thought it’s a random option yet now I’m grateful with that choice. We did not waste time on the road and able to enjoy hotel facility more

There's always a first time for everything. And for me, it’s tennis sparring!

Pada post sebelumnya, aku menyebutkan kalau lately lagi into tennis. Bisa kubilang menemukan beberapa teman sefrekuensi dan tergabung dalam 1 komunitas tennis. Long story short, club kami setuju untuk melakukan sparring dengan komunitas tennis lain

We lost, terbantai jelas. Mental kami ternyata belum terbiasa. No, to be specific, mentalku. A little tense triggered by the need to do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. Deg-degan sepanjang permainan, sampai tanganku malah gemetar saat memegang raket. Nggak usah ditanya, permainanku kacau mentok. 

Tapi, jujur lewat momen sparring ini aku belajar beberapa hal. Nggak menyerap semua kata orang yang berusaha menjatuhkan. Keep calm & do your best. Jadi, walau harus kalah, at least you already done your very best.

Hal lainnya yang berlanjut hingga sekarang, kebersamaan. Aku menemukan teman-teman sefrekuensi yang masih mau saling menyemangati satu sama lain. Bahkan, masih sering mengajak bermain supaya improve bersama

Well, I guess, best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier

In my previous post, i mentioned that lately I’m into tennis. I might say that I found friends who have the same hobby and we finally joined into tennis community together. Long story short, we agreed to do sparring with another tennis community

We’re obviously lost and slaughtered. Our mentality was apparently not used to it. No, to be specific, my mentality. A little tense triggered by the need to do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. I was SO nervous throughout the game, until my hands were shaking while holding the racket. No need to ask, my game is  messed up

To be honest, through this sparring moment, I learn couple of things. Do not absorb all the words from people who try to bring you down. Keep calm & do your best. So, even if you’ve lost the competition, at least you have done your very best.

Another thing, togetherness. I found friends on the same frequency who are still willing to encourage each other. In fact, they often ask us to play to improve together. Well, I guess, best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier
