Aother week...gone. Well, technically its only thursday but i'm done with my lessons. Thats's the 2nd week of school. Time flies, flies and flies. The quicker the better, i'm enjoying myself but honestly, i can't wait to get home. Because there are many things to look forward to. Huh. Maybe that's why.

Okay when Azimah mentioned 'Lemon'(ROFL) naked and then DVD in the same sentence, it sounded well...dirty. So I think i'll clear this up before it spirals out of control. The German national team engaged the services(again, dirty! um just don't think that way ok?) of one of Germany's top film directors, Sonke Wortmann, whose other notable film includes 'The Miracle of Bern' which was, surprise surprise, about the 1954 German World Cup winning team. Basically, its about how the country, which was still recovering from the previous decade's hoo hah, namely World War 2 and facing abit of hostility and resentment from other European Nations went on to win the World Cup. Yeah, pretty obvious isn't it? I haven't seen it myself but I will. Soon.

Anyway, back to the story, Sonke Wortmann's latest work(which is the film containing lemon's near nakedness, his modesty saved only by one Bastian Schweinsteiger's clowning around) is called Deutschland: Ein Sommermaerchen, which means, Germany: A Summer's Tale or Fairytale, i'm not too sure on that but you get the point. It is a documentary which follows the team right from the preparations for the World Cup in the Training Camp in Sardinia to the 3rd place playoff in Stuttgart. Its a no holds barred, behind the scenes look into the German Campaign during last summer's World Cup. From the joy of beating Poland to qualify for the second round to the tense atmosphere during half time in the quarter final against Argentina to the blood, sweat and tears after the defeat against Italy. Ahhh so near, yet so far..

So thats really what the whole thing is about. Its like one big reality show..well i guess it is.

I'm actually blogging, here in the library, to pass time. I have to go collect my laptop, which will be ready at the "end of the day". I wanna give them some more time so i definitely can collect it once i get there. Then its back to the room for some more work! Y-a-y.

Australian Open is next week, people!! The draw is tomorrow, people!! Will Sharapova take this one with mind numbingly screeching ease ? Will the frenchwoman Momo be mentally strong enough to defend her first grand slam title of her career? Will Kim Clijsters's last Australian Open be her very first as well? JHH is out, Venus is out so that blows the women's field right open!! I hope. As for the men's, well, R-Fed will most likely be taking it, although i want Richard Gasquet to make some serious inroads, if he could win that would be even better, no? Speaking of no?, i think Nadal will disappoint. But who knows who knows? Looking forward to two fantastic weeks of high quality tennis. Watch this space.
