How much time shall we add?

JUST FOR GIGGLES!

couldn't resist,  

;)

An eventful US Open,

Two weeks of awesome tennis. Two weeks of waking up early to watch it live. Well, not every single day of course. Definitely the most entertaining grand slam tournament of the year 2009.

Let's start with John Isner, my favourite tennis player - besides Roger Federer of course. One heck of a tall guy - 6 foot 9 - who defeated fellow American and friend, Andy Roddick in a thrilling five set match. I've seen one of his matches before but this, well, this one was spectacular. Only 24 years old, the way he played was great and how he kept his composure. I also noticed how he bounces the ball in between his legs everytime he serves. He says it's his habit. He's just such a cool guy. 
 

Not like Vera Zvonareva. She just lost her mind after losing the second set. She started shouting to herself, tearing off the tape she had on her knees, hitting the net and herself on the head repeatedly with the racket. She definitely lost her cool. It was hilarious to watch though.

How can we forget, Melanie Oudin. The American dream. Only seventeen years old, she's defeated three top players. Interestingly, all three are Russian. After upsetting three seeds in a row, Melanie’s Cinderella run at this year’s US Open ends with a quarterfinal loss but no doubt, she has won the hearts of tennis fans worldwide. You just gotta love her fighting spirit.
 

As for Serena William's fighting spirit... Well, a little too much? Cursing at the "Chinese immigrant-looking line judge" (as Kailaish would call her), threatening to "take this [expletive] ball and shove it down your [expletive] throat!" That cost her the match of course, after smashing her racket earlier. Late night drama, I love it.

Congratulations to Kim Clijsters for winning the title during her comeback. After being out for almost four years after giving birth to her daughter, she's still playing as if she never left.

This time around Roger Federer was gunning for his sixth US Open title in a row and extending his grand slams title to 16. Unfortunately, he had to pass on the crown after losing to Del Potro in five sets. Disappointed? Yes, some people says that it was the one that got away but I believe sweet sixteen will come next time - hopefully when I'm still sixteen. Hahaha. Hey, even the best loses right? Besides, like Roger said, five is already great. Plus, he's had an amazing year.

All in all, it's been a wonderful grand slam tournament that I'll never forget. Ooh and I will always most definitely remember Roger Federer's awesome shot of his entire career!

Four more days until Boys Like Girls release their new album..in US..

first of september, first day of school

Back to school after one week of holiday. Well, ten days actually. Anyway, it was good. Great to see everyone again. I missed them... I felt like I haven't seen everyone in a long time. Especially Stephanie and Audrey. What has it been? A month? But Audrey came late today so I didn't really see her. ;)

Got some of my papers back today. My results weren't too bad - by my standards anyway. I passed my Physics! Surprised but glad. =D For the rest of my papers, well, Maths and Pendidikan Islam were good.. Chemistry, B (almost A :p).. BM not too bad.. but hey, it's not the real format. It's only Assessment 2. I told myself that I am going to study really hard for the finals from now on. =D

Oh the US Open is starting today! Well, it already started. Roger won! I couldn't watch it though.. cause of the timing and all. But hey, I'll watch him in the final. I know he'll make it. :)

Seven more days until Boys Like Girls release their new album..in US..
