tennis at The Floravale Condominium / brother's enlistment at Home team academy

Played tennis yesterday at The Floravale Condominium with my brother and Gary. It was the first time I tried playing tennis, but it's not as difficult as I imagined it to be. The serving was quite easy, but the backhand was a tad bit difficult to master. But I'm sure after a few more sessions I will be able to handle backhand quite well.











Sent my brother off to Home Team Academy for his enlistment about six hours ago.














We were given a short tour around the place and I realized that the place looks more like a resort than a National Service Camp. Somehow it got me thinking that it might not be such a bad thing serving NS at Home Team Academy.

Then we watched some performances such as defensive tactics, Military Band performance, and marching drills. The enlistees were given one hour lunch time to spend with their family before the parents are asked to leave. Their initial confinement days was suppose to be two weeks but Friday happens to be a public holiday so they were allowed early release for one day. So lucky him, he can book out on Thursday 6pm and book in again on Friday 8pm. I can't wait to see his bald head when he comes out.








Here's one last picture of him with his hair. And hope he's coping well with his NS life now and that he made some new friends already. Good luck, brother.
P.S. Anyone wants to ask me out before I start preparing for the Orientation camp and school stuff?
