>>This was the only photo showing me playing Tennis. Taken by my dear sis. I think she have forget about it.

>>When I still studying my primary school, Tennis doesn't meant anything to me. People always think that Tennis is the game for higher class people. Although i do not agree, it is still the true. Buying the cheapest racket also need about 100 ringgit. Besides that, coach is needed. The fees is not cheap!
>
>>I got the influence from my good friend, Shannon Kan. He is a good player and capable to make it to the national level. Since form 2, i started to build my interest in Tennis. Therefore, i decided to learn Tennis.
>
>>God gave many good 'things' to me. My father was one of it. When I told him about this, he did not oppose me instead give me support. Later on, he bought me the racket. My first racket brand was Dunlop and only cost 100.
>
>>My friend had introduce me to learn from his coach, Mr. Robert Khoo. He is a well known Tennis coach in Taiping. He used to scold students of not following the instruction or playful. Did he scold me? Of course yes. I got scold by him all the time. This is because, I'm a slow learner, he need to repeat several times then only I will be able to obtain the skill.
>
>>Every time scold by my coach, I felt very sad and start thinking whether Tennis is suitable to me or not. The worse thing is I did cried for a few times. In form 2, I almost go for the traning every saturday and sunday. After developed all the basic skills, there is no much improvement to me. Learning for the second year, I only go for traning once a week. I have to spend more time for my PMR and saturday I need to go for scout meeting. Thinking back, there is no much free time for me to mixed around with my friends.
>
>>Again, I was upset with my second year. There is no improvement in my skills and even not qualified for the competition. I almost wanted to give up my Tennis. My father had gave a some advices. He call me to stop the lesson and he will spend time to coach me. I accept his suggestion in order to save money.
>
>>At the age of 16, my father had become my coach. My father was the Assistant Engineer in TM Ipoh branch. We are facing the problem of finding Tennis court! Luckily, there is the court in Taiping TM centre. We got the privilage to play there.
>
>>When there is the free time, he will bring me there to practice. I'm very emotion and like to release my anger on others. I'm a 'manja' boy in my family. My father put in effort to teach me but I always throw a temper on him when I fail to do it. I even break my racket. Guess what my father do?
>
>>I know he is upset with me. He never scold me but get me a new Prince racket cost 200 something. After that, I did tried to change my attitude but I still cant control myself. Everytime I did not preform well, my emotion will drive me all the way. Although I keep throwing my temper on him, he never give up to teach me.
>
>>Time pass year by year, until I study my foundation year in TAR college, there is no more change for me to play with my father anymore. In my foundation year, I did played with a senior and my housemate, Joanne. Both of them were Tennis lover too.
>
>>Some how, I will feel regret of never appreciate the time play with my father. If think clearly, me myself never put in effort too. Thats why until now the level still remain the same. When i go back, my father will take time to play with me.
>
>>Now I'm doing my 2nd year of degree in Journalism. Over here have no Tennis court. Worst then TAR college. I only get chance to play when I go back to Taiping. Last Saturday (17/11/07), again I play with my father. Both of us enjoying the game. My father said I am improving. When I hear what he said, my happiness was reaching the top of the world. Since form two (14 years old) until now (20 years old), I had spend 6 years time to gain improvement.
>
>>Although I never join any competition, my feeling was happy then wining in competition. Through out this 6 years, my father was the only one supporting me. He is not only a simple father, but also a good Tennis partner. Why did I said so? Because he use to forgive me all the time. His love and care was uncountable.
>
>>I wanted to use this opportunity to said something. Please forgive me. Your kind hearted will always known by the God. Now onwords, good lucks and all the best wishes will go for you. I LOVE U father...
>
>>I never regret to learn Tennis. I will continue my life with TENNIS
