Pickleball, Anyone?

The Starling now has a pickleball court. It's called Pickl3 Town.


It is located at Uptown 7 next to Uptown Eats.


I don't know what is pickleball or how to play. I am not a sports or games person. I used to hide behind the Casuarina tree during physical education to avoid being picked to play netball.

Netball, basketball, volleyball, whatever ball, I don't like. I only like meatball.


But I did go take a look at the pickleball court.


Sometimes when I pass by, I can hear balls bouncing off the court.


I think this is good for people in the Uptown or nearby area to come play pickleball.


You can even get beer here.

Or soft drinks.


Next to the pickleball court is a nice cafe, Operator 21. Very convenient, right? I'll come by one of these days. Not for pickleball but for coffee and something to eat.


Girl early morning.


My sweetheart.


She has been with me since 2019.


I hope to have her with me for as long as possible.

  7. I don't know what pickle ball is either. Lol...on the "I only like meatball" (same here with the inclusion of fishballs, mochi, takoyaki, sweet potato balls, onde-onde, glutinous rice balls...except chocolate balls)....wuahahahaha! :D Ah, Girl is mommy's favourite child...wow, 7 years already (she's approaching her senior years). I had Cookie for close to 10 years! :'(

    1. hah..hah... balls that can be eaten we like! Ah, yes, onde-onde, sweet potato balls and mochi I also like LOL! Dear Cookie was taken too soon. I still think of him especially when I see photos of cats that are similar to him on social media.

    1. Good for you! Those sports won't make you tall LOL! I am not tall either although my brothers are and some of my girl cousins (on my late dad's side) are (close to being) 6-footers.

  13. I think pickle ball is quite dangerous because it seems easy but it is also easy to hurt oneself. I saw online some players ended up going to ER for wrist injury and etc while playing pickle ball.
    I also don't like PE at all.

    2. Online says:
      "Yes, injuries while playing pickleball are quite common, primarily due to the sport's stop-and-go nature, quick pivots, and the hard surfaces of the courts. While it is a great, accessible sport for all ages, studies indicate that approximately 69% of players experience some form of injury annually."
