Badminton Blues
Went for badminton yesterday again with my ex-colleagues and it was a grueling session because of one person. That person is a friend of Nairice whom she invited, Siew Lee.
It was the first time we met her and she's some kind of hyper-active Energizer bunny. HY has booked the badminton court at HP clubhouse for 4 hours and she was always egging someone to play badminton. So yea, I didn't get one full minute of rest through the 3 hours that Siew Lee played on the courts. And her playing style is... "unfriendly" meaning she smacked everyone with her shutter cock at least once. Ouch! x_X
Her personality came out even more when we were in Queenstown shopping centre, we were just standing around talking about where to go next and she was just going, "Can we go now?", "Why are we standing here?", "Are you done talking?". xD
I think the group was kinda pissed after that as they were quite cold while we were playing pool at Mt Faber Safra. But I think that was the wrong attitude, you shouldn't be bias against someone because she's hyper. (She really is, she practically was skipping back after HY dropped her off at her block later at 11pm...) And the important thing is that she isn't arrogant or some kind of mad-murderer insane. xD
The thing is, I feel that Siew Lee has the right attitude that I'm trying to cultivate. It's that kind of friendliness that the book I brought to increase my self-esteem recommends. To make meeting new friends easy by choosing to like them instead of thinking negative thoughts of how they might not like you. And it makes it easy to interact with Siew Lee because she has that kind of energy that is welcoming!
So yeah, I think I would enjoy meeting her again if she comes to badminton session with us next week again. : )
