Grateful to mum and dad for giving me table tennis! I had an awesome night tonight.

One of my friends told me that a new table tennis centre had opened near work so I went to check it out. It was a little weird at first as I didn't know anyone but I spotted some players who were pretty good and started chatting to them. Turns out one was a coach there and he took a bit of a liking to me I think. Gave me star treatment the whole night. Free drinks, free table hire, he even changed the rubbers on my bat (although I paid for the rubbers).

A lot has changed since I last played! It's now best of 5 games to 11. 2 serves each and the ball is even slightly bigger! Got used to it pretty fast though!

At the end of the night the coach guy even showed me a secret party room, reserved for the celebs and those with cashish to burn. It had a $50,000 table tennis table in there. All silver looking. Unfortunately no photos allowed of that room but check out the general playing area...

Looks like I'll be quitting the gym (again) tomorrow, and visiting this TT joint a little more often. I'm thinking a couple of times a week :)
