It’s 4 am in the morning, I cant sleep!!!! I think it’s mainly because of a very sweet dessert that ate after diiner. It’s honeydew with icecream, topped with sugar caramel. SWEEEETTT…. Then I drank coffee. Double dose of medicine that keeps me awake. haha…well, actually I went to bed around 10 and woke up by 2am and then by 3 am, I started to use the ‘bonus’ internet - remember? It’s 90% off.

I used it to download Chris Tomlin’s latest album - Hello Love. Listening to it now…very nice..found this video…not the latest one but it’s cool!
CHRIS TOMLIN - LIVE FROM AUSTIN
What else? Erm, watch last episode of Code Blue, some youtube videos of Federer.
Btw, he wont be playing in Stockholm Open because he needs more rest to get back his no. 1. hhm…interesting!

Also manage to blog…but I really think I should go back to sleep!
Conclusion -> coffee and high sugar meal is BAD!
p/s : Selamat Hari Raya!!! ![]()
counting the days
I feel very bad for not being able to write passionately since I came back. It feels like things are just starting to set off, as in I’m getting used to the new routine of going to classes, coming back, studying etc. After my phenomenal summer holidays I had, I really didnt want to leave home….but life has to go on.
Internet is still as expensive as ever, and since I’m back, I’ve used up to more than 150 MB leaving me with less than 330MB this month. But during the wee hours in the morning, there is a discount of 90% for our internet. You’re asking me - when? It’s 3-6am. Yup, it’s that time that I wake up to follow the news from US Open, watch videos and view pictures of the tournament.
Weather has been extremely warm since I came back to Russia. Very unsual for this time around. It has never been this warm before, feels like it’s still summer. I can’t speculate if we will be having a warm winter or a super cold winter. They said, if it’s very hot in summer, winter will be very cold. And it’s the other way round.
I’m also thinking of taking up tennis coaching but right now, no news yet. Nothing has been finalized.
Maybe if I really manage too, I’ll be able to play better against my sisters!
Great news - Federer won his 5th US Open Grand Slam title with straight sets 6-2,7-5,6-2 against the rising Andy Murray.

People say, when Federer smiles with his teeths showing, it means he is genuinely happy but if it’s not showing, it’s just polite smile…wonder how true it is! Well, he’s smiling very happily and is his teeth showing? ahaha…a bit…For sure he’s glad to be winning again and playing so well.
If…
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, and yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream, and not make dreams your master;
If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds’ worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, and, which is more, you’ll be a Man my son.
Full poem by Rudy Kipling.
blankets?
ok, just read a post by a very good friend about blankets. At first I thought she was really talking about it and then it got deeper and honestly, I begin to feel there is more behind it…well, if there is anything, I’m all here to give u support!!!
Then read another really cool post by our church associate pastor - Glory Culture! A testimony that encourage me at this time!
Last night slept early but wasnt a good sleep, kinda anxious about the match between Federer and Muller. Suddenly woke up around 4 and check my sms - no updates from the other lynns, so I went online and check he won the semifinals - Roger 7-6(5), 6-4, 7-6(5). I dreamt it was 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. Haha! More action going on now between Djokovich and Roddick. it’s into the 4th set with Djokovich taking first 2 sets and now tie breaker of the 4th set.

More update from me tonight…hopefully no class tmr..
*update - Novak Djokovich won the 4th set tiebreaker and iout to challenge Federer in the Semifinals of US Open. Novak won 6-2,6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5) againt Andy Roddick. whew….sure going to be exciting to watch the semi on Saturday!
p/s the Bryan/Bryan brothers got into the finals for men doubles! hehe…if only Fedrinka is playing!

the dogs are in the house!
ahaha, it’s kind of an impromptu post….coz the dogs are in the house!!! ahaha… HeiQ and Scooby!!!
Scooby, sleeping where he always love too! His favorite place! Bear Bear dog!! so cute!!
hoho!!! hei gou watching Federer LIVE!!! Now Federer is leading 6-3, 6-0. One more set to go!
Well, today is my last day in Miri and I’ll be flying off tmr! Alot of things to finalize…luggage to pack, things to buy…then need to weigh my bags so that it’s not over weight. Then I’ll be missing alot of things - of course first thing is FAMILY , my home, the dogs, food and surely i’ll be missing the US Open.
** UPDATE - Federer wins 6-3, 6-0, 6-3. He’ll be playing against T. Alves next. ![]()
still having break
dear readers!
I’m back, for a while, feeling a bit pre-depressed
Well, it’s because I have another 2 weeks to go! Less than that, actually. *sigh* It’s inevitable, so I just got to accept it. It’s going to be more than 10 months, this time when I’m gone, it’s going to be 11 months till I come back!

Anyway, last night, a great thing happened! Federer and Wawrinka won a gold for Swiss in Tennis Men Double! Yay!! So happie…

I feel like it’s a dream! Less than 48 hours ago, Federer lost to James Blake in the men single event and it was devastating. who would imagine that they would win the Bryan/Bryan brothers and move into Finals and finally Gold medal!!

Gold medalists Roger Federer (3rd L) and Stanislas Wawrinka (3rd R) of Switzerland, Silver medalists Simon Aspelin (L) and Thomas Johansson (2nd L) from Sweden, and Bronze medalists Bob and Mike Bryan of US pose for pictures after competing in the men’s double’s tennis competition at the Olympic Greene Tennis Centre in Beijing on August 16, 2008
I am not sure but i think Astro didnt show the Victory Ceremony, but praise God my sister found it in youtube! Hehe…
Ok, another video - For those that don’t know, the first girl that comes up in the video is Mirka, Roger Federer’s girlfriend!
It’s really an entertaining match! Something worth watching, so for thoseg out there who missed it, and know where to download, please let me know. I would like to download to watch it again! ![]()
status : idle
heheh, actually, not idle..just lazy to blog…plus cousins aren’t around so practically nothing much to do, just stay in the house, watch lots of tennis!
Last week’s Roger ATP Master Cup was a BIG disappointment coz Federer lost in his first play against a wild card, Simon! And Nadal won the title and now is just 300 points behind the World No. 1.
Then this week the Cincinnati Master Cup sponsore by Western & Southern Financial Group is on!
The time difference is 11 hours which means if I am to watch, need to wake up early in the morning or stay up late! Supposed to wake up at 4am this morning to watch Federer play…but failed!
Anyway, been watching some series - When Dog Loves Cat (當狗愛上貓). But only till episode 6. I saw the previews in Channel 302 and it does look like a very relax series so decided to download and watch!

Just found out that you can watch Episode 1-5 of Moonlight Resonance (家好月圓),in Astro Channel 931 and 932 for free! Great line of casts! It is known to be an indirect sequel from Heart of Greed but this time, all the actors and actresses has different characters and story line. Instead of selling abalone, they are making mooncake! Definatley worth watching….
