♥ The 3 5 Musketeers ♥

Attendance for today was... well, just 5 of us (as the title suggests)...
Sebas and Bryan were the earliest ;
Rayson and I were next ;
Gangyi was latest.

Doesn't really matter who arrived first or last cuz it's just the 5 of us.

I guess only a few words could describe how we felt the entire morning :
'disappointment', 'sian diao', 'exhausted'...

Oh well...
We ended training at about 11am.
Settled down on the field to talk to each other.
It's good to feel the breeze and catch up with each other. :D

We then decided to head to IKEA at 1130-ish for brunch, and to check out some stuff we could get to DIY our equipments.

We had a very very full-filling brunch.
Our stomachs went from STARVING to STUFFED.
LOL

The 5 of us shared 30 Swedish meatballs.
Gangyi had salmon ;
Sebas, Bryan and Rayson had nasi padang goreng ;
Sebas also had cream of chicken soup ;
I had the (kids') spaghetti set ;
Rayson and I shared salmon too.

Imagine all that food we ate...
Guess we wasted time training and losing calories! LOL

We ended up walking around IKEA feelings absolutely stuffed.

We saw chair cushions which are really suitable to be bases.


This costs $7.90.


This costs $5.90.

There were others that cost $9.90, $3.90, 1.90.
(Yes, prices getting cheaper.)
BUT, they were not really suitable cuz of size and thickness.

We're still gonna look out for more before really buying.
AND, if attendance is gonna be like this...
No point buying equipments either.
Sigh...

We were really happy walking around IKEA.
Felt like the 5 of us were shopping for furniture to live together.
I wouldn't mind that! :D

At the end of the shopping trip...
We decided that...
We'll put the chair cushions in trash bag before using them, then just throw the bags away.
We'll also DIY the backstop using bamboo poles, fishing net and something else which I forgot.

Tam has the pitcher plate ;
Sebas has the catcher equipment and 2 bats ;
Gangyi has 1 bat,
Bryan has the softballs.

So what we need for training to be done properly are...
1. (Most importantly) PEOPLE
2. Bases
3. Helmets

Then, when everything and everyone are more regular...
We can start getting PROPER equipments.

So PLEASE, come for trainings...
I don't know if the few of us can keep our enthusiasm if this is the kinda attendance we're getting... ):
