Boxing Day everybody

Today, we went shopping in the morning. The malls here open at 7am and there's a big boxing day sale. Yes, so by noon, i was beat. Shopping is actually a good way to feel tired.

So anyways, as you all know(okay maybe not), THE TENNIS SEASON IS STARTING!!! This Saturday, the Hopman cup begins!! Scheisse!! I can't watch..unless..erm.. maybe i'll try my luck on the channels here. The teams are GREAT this year!! I mean, Tursunov, Golovin and Mario Ancic is going to play with his little sister!! Okay this is not some big fancy tournament but i really like to watch it because its a chance to watch the players you dont really get to see play at grand slams or other important tournaments. Plus, i love the Hopman cup system. Male and Female represent their country in davis/fed cup format. Two Singles rubber and one doubles rubber, the winning team goes on to the next round. Also, its the tournament where you're guaranteed some good doubles action!! I love watching doubles! Sometimes i think doubles is what makes tennis.

Crap lah all the players i want to watch are playing!!

Here's the teams playing this year:

Australia: Alicia Molik and Mark Phillippoussis ( Aussie Aussie OI OI OI)

Croatia: Sanja Ancic and Mario Ancic

Czech Republic: Lucie Safarova and Tomas Berdych( The cutest couple!!! They're dating btw)

France: Tatiana Golovin and Jerome Haehnel ( If it was Richard Gasquet i will be kicking myself..and the tv)

India: Sania Mirza and Rohann Bopanna

Russia: Nadia Petrova and Dmitry Tursunov(OMG MITYA!!! Ia Vas Liubliu! [or at least i think tts how its spelled..courtesy of Charles Bronson's character in THE GREAT ESCAPE])

Spain: Anabel Medina Garrigues and Tommy Robredo

U.S.A: Ashley Harkleroad and Mardy Fish

So, U.S.A is the defending champion..omg i totally miss Taylor Dent's serves. They were freakin' awesome. I don't think U.S.A can take it this year.. No Dent's powerful serve and no doubles and volley specialist Lisa Raymond.


This entry is kind of technical i guess. No one's really that into tennis right? haha, but Australian Open is coming up! and blah i can't watch. Okay this reminds me, that this time last year, we were in the lab doing projects and i was checking the australian open website every two seconds and making comments like: Wah! and Shit! and Crap i missed it! and Siew Ying, in a very exasparated but calm sort of way would say: Aiyo, It's just tennis. (NO IT'S NOT!) Thank you Siew Ying for listening to me whine about the fact that i was missing all those matches. Even if it wasn't irritating to you(which i'm sure it was), it was to me. Lol. of course, i had to check covertly so super focused Jie xin didn't catch me..heh heh heh *rubs hands evilly..no for warmth*

Now that anecdote would be more for all of you eh? I'm stopping now.

4 more days to Hopman Cup.
5 more days to the New Year.
19 more days to the Australian Open.
