Badminton in a day ^_^

If you are familiar with the sport that Sweets' is fond of doing then you know that it's not Badminton.

My husband is a Bowling Buddy!  He loves bowling a lot and he wants to perfect it one step at a time.

However, it does not limit him to play other sports, like Tennis, Badminton, Swimming.  He plays but he is not in the competitive mode with these sports :)

One Friday afternoon, Bench and Butch (Sweets' friend) invited him to be part of the "Badminton Tournament".  At first Sweets was hesitant to join because this is really not his forte and he hadn't played for the last 6 years, however, Bench showed his "puppy dog eyes" and thus Sweets said "YES" but only for this tournament! Hehehe! (kidding on the "puppy dog eyes").

They practiced that Friday night and it went well (as far as I am concerned).
They had one day rest and they went for the tournament on a Sunday (January 28, 2013).

It was held at the "PUDU Badminton Hall"

It was my first time there and it was fine there.
I haven't attended any Badminton Tournament before and I was happy to see how it was done.  The organizers were well prepared for this event.

You can see from the tarpaulin as well as the medals and trophies.

There were seven teams, each team has 4 members (3 boys, 1 girl). 
The system is not to choose your own team mates, since they do not want people to be left behind.  They had draw lots, luckily, Sweets was drawn to be part of Bench's team. Lucky Boy!

There were several games (10am - 6pm) and even if I just watched them played, I feel very very tired! :D (how could that be?).

After all that sweat, tears and dehydration, the game finally concluded.
While I was waiting for the winners, I was shocked (with eyes wide open) when Amcy called the "Third Runner Up" - it was Team # 7.. who were part of Team 7?  Here goes:

See, how lucky Sweets' was!! Quadruple luckiness!!!

Another team who tied with them was team # 2
- Mon Decena
- Manny
- Joy
- Irvin

 "Second Runner Up" was team # 5

- Amcy
- Richard
- Paul
- Chris

"First Place" is Team # 1
- Kaiser
- Mae
- Ron

All of the teams played so well. I saw how they played and it was all out energy.  Though not all of them won, I saw that they all enjoyed playing and enjoyed the company of each other!  By the way, this Tournament is an All-Filipino one.  Who knows, maybe in the future, they will be able to invite Malaysians :)

I would like to personally salute all of the people who helped and organized this tournament!  Kudos to you all!

Special thanks to Amcy and Bench!

It was indeed a special event! An unforgettable one.
Nice playing with you all!  Till next time (don't know if Sweets will agree).
