    Things happen

    Sometimes good thing happens to bad people, or bad things happen to good people. Something along that line.

    It is a game but I just cannot help myself. Hopefully not many people saw that.;)

    Depends on the day, really. Some days are worse than others. Usually, I just laugh or look skyward and say "Why?"

    Once in a while I'll have a bad day where I'm fanning so many shots that it's ridiculous. On those occasions, I'll say "Is it just me, or is it hot in here?" and start fanning myself with my racket.

    lol! yeah, usually blame e lights too:p but deep inside, cursing myself. but i try not to get too mad at myself though, noticed that if i let my emotions take over, my play worsens... resultg in more missed hits. vicious cycle eh? lol:eek:

    If it were my partner (he's from Korea), we'd grin and cheer ourselves with some nonsense such as doing, "Daeeeeeee hannnnn minnnnnnnn gukkkk!!!" even when I'm Malaysian. :D

    I don't say anything... i feel its best to do that...it might give your oppponent an indicator of how confident you are (even if you aren't) even after missing a shuttle.

    If I Miss

    I run over to my opponent, sock him in the jaw, bash his head with my racket. Then I swear extremely vulgar curswords. Then run from the police, change my name and go to another badminton club far away and you better hope that I dont miss another shot.:D

    The Three-Fold Path

    I do two of three things:

    1. I wipe my palm. :cool:

    2. If the miss happens at a crucial stage, I try to reverse-psyche. I just glare at the opponents as if to say 'you're lucky I missed that'.
    This usually wins a smile. :D

    3. If the miss happens at any other time, I yell at my partner: "Gosh, I'm playing like you.'
    This usually doesn't win a smile. :mad:
