Here are some of this year's best April Fool Picture:

A.I.

Getting to learn A.I. and its many function as much as I could. So far I am more into Gemini, although image generated by Chatgpt is more favourable. 

Ever wonder what AI looks like? Here's my assigned AI's profile picture. It is indeed very knowledgeable. 

2025 50th Birthday

50th Birthday presents include a family of 2XU running gear, something that I wanted for several years.

2XU Core Compression Shorts

2XU Caps

2XU Single

2XU Tanks

On top of that, we have the yearly Opera Cake, T-Shirt from XX and polo shirt from Wifey. 

Dinner at our favourite Maria's Steakcafe. 

2025 Badminton Friendly Match with Chan Assoc

The much anticipated friendly match versus Chan Association is finally here. The competition is not as hard as the match vs GuangDong as the average opponent age is about 40. In the meantime, our representatives are also better compared to previous match. Final result is 14-4. A good comeback win. Many players are hoping for a next match following this victory.

Our double match results are 2-1, with the first one lost in 3 sets. It's a match that we should have won and it is really due to fatigue and high heart rates (up to 180bpm) that led to the defeat. I would need to improve on the badminton stamina if we wish to have further success in future.

Teo Chew Kung Fu Tea

Attended a Teo Chew Kung Fu Chinese Tea session. The more you learn about tea, the more you learn to appreciate. It's interesting to know that how little we know about appreciating tea after drinking tea for fifty years. Tea, like wine, is an art as well as a beverage. The preparation required some hand on experiences to master. In terms of consuming, one must know how to hold the cup, how to properly drink the tea, the fragrance/nose is equally important just like wine. 

The 21 style to prepare and appreciate Tea, although most of us barely perform half of them. 

Now it is time to prepare some Teo Chew Kung Fu Tea at home. Gear is ready.

Malaysia Master Series 2025

This would be my first Badminton Live experience since the 90s and its definitely the first for Hong Yi.

Its the Malaysia Master 2025- Semi final. We watched about 6-7 out of the possible 10 matches, including three Malaysia doubles that won 2 and lost 1. 

There are also some fun & games and free merchandise.

Carlsberg Factory Visit

I planned this factory visit for more than a year ago. Unfortunately we are unable to do the actual factory tour due to heavy rain on the day.

The beer itself is good (and obviously free flow). The food is acceptable too. The total attendances are less than the anticipated 70 pax (more like 60 pax). 

I'm most impressed with 1664 Brut, Carlsberg Super Cold and Connors. The Connors draft from factory taste really different from expected. 

Badminton 750 Series

Still find it amazing that this little dude can get a medal (in fact two medals) in Badminton Tournament (750 series). I guess having a good draw, good form on the day, improved skills and accumulative of hard work play the role. You always learn more from losing (or winning the hard way), and that applies to the player, the coach and the player's manager (in terms of managing break time, food in take etc.)
