...father and all my cousins. My mom is a housewife and she stayed with all the time. I am really fond of the games of memorizing and the exercises of eye-hand-body coordination as I was in my childhood. My father owns and operates an electronic products business oversea in India. I would travel with my mom and sister to his factory and had so much fun with my sister in the indoor pool and snowball fighting outside the hotel while mom was watching and smiling at us. When I was a kid I was quite shy, quite unlike the outgoing guy I am now. As I grew a little bigger, I developed a liking for the game of badminton and basketball. And with grew my love for them, I would play it in school with all my classmates. We developed great passions for those games. I am still an avid player and a member of school badminton and basketball team. During my sophomore year, our team has won the badminton championship in the school. The victory is really one of the cherished moments of my life. I am interested in software engineering. There is a really interesting story behind how I got introduced to it way before it is taught in school. My father was a great software engineer and knows a lot of technologies that are used in making 3C devices while he's working in Silicon Valley. I've developed an interest for these since then. I want to be an engineer and designer in the field of gaming industry. For that very reason I am applying for the Software Engineering in San Jose State...

...Hai y’all. Datuk Lee Chong Wei (born 21 October 1982 in Bagan Serai, Perak[1]) is a Malaysian Chinese professional badminton player. As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide for 199 consecutive weeks from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012.[2] He is the third Malaysian player after Rashid Sidek and Roslin Hashim to achieve such a ranking (since official rankings were first kept in the 1980s), and is the only Malaysian shuttler to hold the number one ranking for more than a year.[3] Lee is a silver medalist in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, making him the sixth Malaysian to win an Olympicmedal[3] and the first Malaysian to reach the finals in the men's singles event, ending Malaysia's Olympic medal drought since the 1996 Games. This achievement also earned him the title Datuk, and a description by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak as a national hero.[4] He repeated the achievement four years later in London, thus making him the most successful Malaysian Olympian in history.[5] In his early years, Lee favoured basketball, however his mother soon forbade him from the game due to the searing heat of the outdoor basketball court. Lee began to learn badminton at the age of 11, when his father, who liked to play the game, brought him to the badminton hall. Attracting the attention of a local coach, the coach asked Lee's father if he could take him as a student. After receiving his father's consent, the coach began to train Lee after school.[6]Discovered by Misbun...

Pupils are able to play games like football, badminton, captain ball, and basketball during most sessions. Unorthodox sports such as touchball, fencing, and skateboarding are occasionally played. In more prestigious secondary schools and in junior colleges, sports such as golf, tennis, shooting, and squash are played. A compulsory fitness exam, NAPFA, is conducted in every school once every year to assess the physical fitness of the pupils.[citation needed] Pupils are given a series of fitness tests (Pull-ups/Inclined pull-ups for girls, standing broad jump, sit-ups, sit-and-reach and 1.6 km for primary [10- to 12-year-olds]/2.4 km for secondary and junior college levels [13- to 18-year-olds]).

...Introduction The word “hang-out” can either be a verb or a noun. If it is taken as a verb it means the act to spend one’s time idly or in loitering around (Merriam Webster’s Intermediate Dictionary). If it is taken as a noun, it means the PLACE where a group of people stays without doing anything in particular. However, the researcher will be focusing more on the second definition but still consider the first definition, mainly because we have a wide range of places to choose from ; like places inside the University Campus, a friend’s house, a shopping mall or any other place that a certain group of individuals choose. As everyone is inadvertently exposed to strenuous and demanding work either in school/workplace, all of us needs that refreshing and much needed stop to break the monotony of working for/ studying for a long stretch of hours. This is where “hang-outs” come in, when there is a need for relaxing or unwinding at the end of a stressful day/week; inevitably the necessity for a place to relax also arises. Of course as a person either engaged in these activities (studying or working), stress and pressure are usually associated with your workplace or classroom. Therefore anyone can encounter difficulties relaxing in certain place a person associates with stress and pressure. In short the researcher is implying the importance of a hang-out, being in a hang-out does not necessarily mean you have to be in a very far place from your school/workplace but rather, just a...

...Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor. The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game. Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport with five events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pair consists of a man and a woman. At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed and precision. It is also a technical sport, requiring good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racquet movements. HISTORY The beginnings...
