屡教不改
“Why did you have to come in all the time?” Simon asked. Deflected. Thousand times. “You’ll have more time to return the shot, and in a more relaxed manner.. ..”
Honestly I don’t know. Seriously, I have no idea. Perhaps I thought there is a candy hanging on the net. Seriously I don’t know why can’t I remember the simple rule, not to come in, stand behind the base line!!
“It’s a piece of cake when you play behind the base line ..” Simon would demonstrate. Ever heard 劳碌命? That’s me. I’m so sick of myself too, 
and the grunt is just getting louder - I only have backhand at the moment. Haven’t been serving for a while. Simon’s lips are thinning (or fattening from over use?) from repeating himself so often. “Stay behind the baseline.” Then next game I positioned myself grandly by the net - can’t correct my bad habit. Oh lord, that’s embarrassing!
