Back in the Game

Pre-baby, I regularly played badminton with my friends at Club Flick. I looked forward to gearing up myself for fun games every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. From the day I found out I was pregnant up to the time when my baby was I think 7 months, my badminton activity stopped. For so long, I wished I could play again and feel that good energy, was disappointed at several events I had to miss because my body was yet to be ready with rigorous activity such as badminton, and resentful at having pregnancy bulges but couldn’t do anything about them yet. I’ve been missing my badminton buddies; it was really fun being with them from playing and having dinner after the game.

But like all stories go, “this too shall pass.” Between doing my role as a mother to Vien and the one that earned me a paycheck, I was able to find time to play badminton again. It started early this year. I am back with my friends whom I missed for so long. Not that I don’t see them at all, because some of them are my officemates as well, but what really makes me happy is the friendship that is made inside the badminton court. So every Saturday night, after a long week of working and caring for my little guy, I take a time-out, do what I used to love that is badminton, and just have fun with my friends. It’s sooo good to be back in the game!
