		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;m a &#8216;power racket user&#8217;, being a fan of Gao Ling, I bought Yonex NanoSpeed 9000 (which she was promoting at the time) at Japan Yonex Open several years ago  &#60;it was her last Japan Yonex Open&#62;.   Then the same year, I went to the Philippines and bought NanoSpeed7000 because it was on sale.

A little confession.  I have not slept in the past 24 hours &#8211; been busy answering phone calls, texts, on andoff FB messages from all over the globe! - I did not expect so many well-wishers. I&#8217;m truly honored and blessed with greetings that will last me a hundred years good (nah, great!) fortune!  From the bottom of my heart, thank you!! A strong typhoon paid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[8  long hours&#8217; flight with Air Asia from Tokyo to Kuala Lumpur(KL) that took off at 1:30 am felt forever with Air Asia.  The flight is the cheapest I could get, but one has to be prepared because along with the low airfare comes almost zero (absolutely no free) comfort.  I reached KL at about 8am with a very serious hang-over from the home party with badminton friends just before I took off.  My host Sue picked [...]]]></description>

First day of training and first day in Singapore.  The night before, my trainer sent me instructions on which bus to take and where to get off. My [...]]]></description>

I set my Saturday morning schedule earlier than usual because I wanted to complete my house-keeping and laundry before I set out for a day of badminton.  Last minute, a friend organized badminton games in the morning [...]]]></description>
