Who lit your squash
spark? |
My
sisters were introduced to squash first through my dad's friend who
build the public squash centre in Penang. I joined them a year later
when I was 5. That was the first sport I picked up and it kept me
occupied at the time. |
|
Always squash, or
could you have competed in another sport? |
I
tried all sorts of sports but squash was the one for me. I did play
volleyball and basketball in school and was involved in swimming and
athletics but never got to the level I got to in squash. |
|
What do you hate
most about training? |
The
first week of getting back to training after some time off. My body
is not ready for what is about to come! |
|
The best thing
about being an international player? |
A
whole bunch of things! The experience of travelling and meeting
players, plus trying out new food. |
|
Your favourite
place to play events? |
Rio
De Janeiro was a stunning place to visit. Australia is great too. |
|
Filling in time
before matches? |
Mainly shopping and eating! |
|
Squash
superstitions? |
None
really. I don't do anything in particular before a match except hope
for the best really. |
|
The worst thing
about travelling? |
It is
difficult to really get used to long flights and hanging around
airports. Also, the longer you travel then the more you miss your
family and friends. That is when you realise how much you miss them
when the phone bill comes at the end of the month! |
|
Your travelling
entertainment provider? |
My
iPod is essential! Probably grab a magazine or
two along the way too or doodle in my sketch book. |
|
Pizza or pasta? |
Pizza
anytime over pasta. Bring on the grease!
Sundays are my pizza / dvd day. |
|
Tea or coffee? |
Coffee is a must! That is my fix during tournaments. |
|
Fruit or chocolate? |
Has
anyone seen me with a piece of fruit before at a squash event or
anywhere for that matter? So I have to go with the Chocolate option. |
|
Just finished
reading? |
I
must admit I am not a great reader but since you asked I have just
been reading a wallpaper design magazine. |
|
The album you
listen to most? |
Mary
J. Blige's new album The Breakthrough. |
|
How many texts sent
each day? |
Depends on where I am at the time. I text more when I am at
tournaments and in Malaysia of course. |
|
Sporting event you
would most like to go to? |
Any
Grand Slam tennis tournament would be great plus the access to the
players lounge too. |
|
Dinner with any
sports person past or present? |
Hmm.
James Blake the tennis player I think. Hopefully with that access
pass that can happen! |
|
Glass half full or
half empty? |
If
half full is an optimist then that's the one for me. |
|
Your life so far,
one thing you would change? |
Absolutely nothing at all! |
|
Plans for the
future? |
I
would like to start a design company, perhaps and maybe have a
Squash Academy of my own too. |
