& so school has started.. from a 3-day to a 4-day with some early(sigh), some long (sigh) days. Once again, the activity I want to join (go-karting for this sem) is held on my free day!!
Watching tennis now.
An Open final but no Federer or Nadal.. how rare since 2005. It's between Djokovic and Tsonga, relatively unknown (to me).. Gonna support Tsonga since Djokovic came across as arrogant after winning 'my' Federer (i'm not a tennis fan but he's the only one that will keep me to the channel, even if for a while haha)
But from the powerful aces Tsonga has been torturing Djokovic with and his exciting 'impossible shots' that he managed to make, he is beginning to really win me over. Hopefully, he win his first Major today.
Muhammad Ali lookalike Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
He look like Ronaldo (the Brazilian, not the vainpot) too from this shot. On a sidenote, Fifa should take the leaf out of WTA's book and implement video-technology to decide ambiguous offsides and goal-line goals. Accurate and efficient. Shouts of "kelong!" & "ref kayu!" would probably become a thing of the past.
What makes sports so much interesting for the fans is not just being able to watch beautiful skills being performed but also to be part of the player. You cheer/wince as your fave hits/misses the notes. Just for that period of game, your 'fate' (if I should use this word) seems to be irrevocably linked with the player/club results. What is even more exciting is watching with rival supporters (perhaps except for your own national team sports). There is competition both on and off the screen haha.. Watching Arsenal fasincating youngsters this season is enjoyable (for the record, I still support Chelsea) and it's the only team in the top 4 I would rather see at the top if it's not Chelsea. But it gets really exhilarating when I watched the games with my dad (the ultra anti-Arsenal fan who prefers Man U and Liverpool) who goes at least 1000 degrees myopic whenever the Highbury team plays. I won't disclose what does happen but voices are raised and emotions do get higher but it's all part of the game. I think we both derive much pleasure from those moments. Don't worry, it never gets physical lol :)
Perhaps I'm one of those who needs a little fight/quarrel to spice things up heh.. If not, life does get boring ar?
Anyway, for those who thought(/hope) Chelsea was a goner when Mourinho left, dream on! They are still contending for all 4 competitions :) even with Grant at the helm. You are welcome to watch their matches with me, just make sure you bring your pillow along.. for some 'fun' time
it's okay if you can't see the road ahead, just make sure God is still in sight!!
In His time, in His time,
He makes all things beautful in His time.
Lord, please show me every day,
As You're teaching me Your way,
That You do just what You say, in Your time.
In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring.
May each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.
