    - More powerful smash
    - Upgrade consistency of backhand clear from 70 to 80%.
    - Beat Jerby :D If it'll ever happen!

    Task two, completed. :) I'll keep that aside for now.
    Task one will be my eternal goal.

    Time to update my short-term goal:
    1)Keep working on footwork
    2)Obtain a BNZ Player-number, so that I can play at my very first tournament.
    3)"Get a girlfriend who plays badminton" lol
    4)Get moved up a grade at club
    5)Teach my friend how to 'hit hard' with the correct technique, ie: clear full court, high-serve, etc.

    Short term: improve court movement (eliminate laziness in movement)
    develop a more accurate and powerful smash

    Longer term: Win my divisional tournament so I can move up a division so I can go back to beating some other players before they moved up ahead of me...

    My wrist is now recovering very well...nearly there...or at least it feels so. Now back to some regular wrist training and hope within one week I could go back to the court and enjoy a real game!

    Too much missing the court, the smash, the clear...everything!

    Well, seems the short goal will be achieved soon :p

    1. increase stamina
    2. improve "ballet-style" footwork
    3. improve stroke techniques and shot consistency

    I like the answer of "finding a badminton hottie girlfriend"...although I have someone in my mind right now...

    For strokes:
    1) powerful jump smash
    2) decently powerful backhand smash
    3) backhand crosscourt drop

    For everything else: Super fast footwork, and lots of stamina. And also really good reflexes.
