Table Tennis Group

I have a soft spot in my heart for table tennis. Those were the joyous days during my childhood playing “ping-pong” was a leisurely weekend pass-time together with my sisters and cousins. It is so very natural that I would join in table tennis group. Our group plays table tennis on Friday afternoon at the Ren-Ai Table Tennis Classroom. This Classroom is generously equipped with eight tables and hundreds of balls available for players. Other than private weekly coaching lesson to improve quality play, there is an automatic ball serving machine for Classroom members to be able to individually practice our skills of underspin, block, chop, or smash, etc. Frankly speaking, at my age, the weekly play is but my choice of exercise to strengthen muscles, and hopefully to sweat out toxins from within my body.

Our passionate chairpersons, Tse-Yuan Shen and Patcharee Mønsted, make additional efforts to arrange a monthly group lunch gathering. I enjoy being in the group to embrace opportunities to chat, to laugh, to make new friends, and to know old friends better. Our friendship is as sweet as the clear sound when the paddle hits the pingpong ball right on the sweet spot!
