A lot of things happened in June.

First, was the Penang International Junior Open which was held from 1st - 5th June 2010 at the Penang International Squash Center, Bukit Dumbar. I wasn't involved with it this year as it coincide with school days. I only managed to go there after work which is about 4.30 pm like that. Most of the interesting matches had finished by then. It was still good as I got to meet some of my local and overseas friends. Only two players training under me participated but they did not do so well. The Penang girls swept all the girls title except GU13. None of the Penang boys won any titles but they did put in a credible performance.I think Max was the best performer in the boys category. My son Julian did not do so well in the BU11 category but it was a great experience for him. Hope he plays better next time.

The Milo All Star was right after the Penang Junior Open. It was held from 7th - 12th June 2010 at Astaka Squash Court, Petaling Jaya.. I went down with the Penang team as one of the officials. My job was to take the rest of the players who were not participating in SUKMA (the Malaysian Games) back to Penang. This is my first outing for a tournament in 2 years since I moved to Penang. It felt kinda awkward as it has been a long time I took a team for a tournament but I felt relax throughout the tournament as I was not in charge of the team. On the first day, I went for breakfast at a stall near the squash court and had 3 packets of nasi lemak and a glass of teh tarik!! Simply delicious..yummy!! On the second day, I had 6 packets!! Just could not resist!! Lunch was mostly at a row of shops about 10 mins walk from the Crystal Crown Hotel. Not a bad hotel actually. Dinner was mostly at Restaurant Ok, near the Hilton. Food there is great. Fully recommended. After dinner are team meetings.Review of the days matches, the next matches, who is playing who, what time going to the courts etc. Penang had two players who reached the final - Low Wee Nee in the GU 19 and Vanessa Raj who competed in the GU17. Wee Nee was crown Champion while Vanessa managed a Runner's Up position.

School holidays was from during the 2nd and 3rd week of June. I worked during the 2nd week of the holidays, so that was not enjoyable. I had to work five and a half days at school. So I spend my time downloading worksheets for my English classes. Found tons of it. Thank god for internet. School reopens on the 4th week of June. Did not feel like going back to school on the first day but what to do. We got to do what we got to do. Uneventful week.

14 June was my wife's birthday!! We went to El Mundo's, one of my wife's favourite restaurants, to celebrate her birthday. Scrumptious dishes we had indeed.

On the June 23, my son went for CIMB Rising Star in Kuching, Sarawak. He flew back on 28th June at 11 pm. He managed to maintain his ranking - 11th placing.

June 25th, my wife went back to Sabah to attend a cousin's wedding and came back on 27th June.. She went alone. Know what that means? It means I had my notorious super hyper-active 24 hours bunny Duracell battery son, Aidan Archer. I had to take leave because nobody can babysit him. One look at him and people are scred hahahaha. So I took leave on 26th June to look after him and I had to find other coaches to take my squash classes or cancelled them. However, it was really great looking after him. I enjoyed it very much. We bond during those 3 days together. I fed him, bathe him, made milk for him and putting him to sleep. He like the song : "This is the way Aidan go to school...". I will always have to find different ideas to sing....I sang it to him when he wakes up, when he takes his bath, when I am trying to put him to sleep. Every time I finished one verse, he would say moreee with the cutest voice and smile. He loves to watch his Hi-5, so I always put it on for him. It is also to keep him occupied so that he doesn't disturb me doing my work at the computer. It didn't work. He would watch for awhile and then come over and want to sit on my lap and put his toys on my computer table, near the keyboard, making it difficult to type. Sometimes he would come over and just hugs my hand. It just makes me melt.

Well, that is all for now. Hope you all enjoyed reading it. Should I update once a week or once a month? Hmm..time to ponder..
