Tennis lookalikes
Jan. This is for you, again. The 2nd vid got me laughing so hard, I couldn't sleep. (It's 5plus am already.)
HAHA. Which is your fav 'face-off'? I thought the kim clijsters vs princess fiona, mauresmo vs tommy haas, mario ancic vs karate kid, davenport vs the goonies' woman, ferrer vs lord farquuard, chela vs fido dido, stepanek vs gollum and the street fighter character vs taylor dent... those are real classics. I thought the person who made the vid could have done novak some justice. The person that he was being compared to is quite ugly. At least Christian Bale is better looking...
Maybe not quite on this one.. but it's the scrawniest Bale I could find.
See.. the guys I like have that certain look, you know. (*winks at shuang)
Anyways, Nole just won his 10th career title in the Rome masters, and he's just 310 points behind Nadal now... If Nadal fails to defend his points in Hamburg, and Djokovic goes beyond the quarterfinals, we may be looking at a new world no. 2! =)
French Open is coming soon! YEA YEA YEA!! It's all happening so fast, I'm very excited now! It's time for me to catch up on the WTA action. I hope Justine is doing fine, she has a French Open title to defend. Stayovers to watch late night live matches, yes? =)
I hope lao die aka Baghdatis is back by then. Shuang and I miss him a lot since that defeat to pompous ass-faced Hewitt during aussie open. =(
Till then. Hamburg tonight... my boy is playing. Muahahahahha...

All the Cat Fights and Bitch Slapping...
NSL makes me blog a lot. (ok. 1 post a week is not a lot. but at least it's better than once in 2 months, so that's an improvement.)
I must say. This NSL season is very entertaining. Everybody is going mad. Or is it that last year my team was too 'uninvolved' for me to be bothered? hmmmm... Even though the scorelines are rarely close (with the exception of Marlins vs Stingrays game), I believe many spectators are watching it for the violence. I admit I get excited when I see people whacking each other on court (The bruised tatoos are the new work of body art.). It's the entertainment-and-cause-for-bitching factor. Of course, that is only when I'm a spectator. It's tough being a clean player on court nowadays. I have progressed from Miss Fifa Fairplayer to Miss Out of Body Control. Of course, with that extra weight to blame. DAMN IT! Plus I only sight the ball and absolutely nothing else (which is how I used to kiss the post not once but twice - catching the same type of lob, bounced off the netball post and badly sprained my ankle). With that much desire to win the game, that little discipline to clear the bodies, it's no surprise people are throwing their bodies on court (to the point where some are body slams!) Though I must admit, that deliberate foot-tripping, knee-kneeling and skirt-grabbing has got to be the dirtiest tricks of all, very discreet, very clever. Somebody shout 'MURDER'! We are progressing from the 'A', 'B', 'C's now. Courtesy of Prem, "A she me A, B la!" ('A' what 'A', 'B' lah!) Very nice, it has got to be one of my favorite quotes. =)
And there you have it, in a scene filled with countless adrenaline-pumped, angst-filled, chatty-mouthed females.., many of us are guilty of speaking ill of another. The Compliment percentage is definitely lower than the Critics %. Especially we like to harp on the latter and bitch about the world. Let's just say it out loud in NSL terms, vipers got the brunt of it. I dunno whether to pity them or not - (or rather, some of them). I do, however, indulge in a little delightful bitching about hairy A**P*t M** aka 'B'ad (that is, i don't feel the least guilty speaking ill of that person). And since this is a public blog, I am obliged to speak in codes (that's the trend) and hopefully the accused will be blind enough to not read between the lines. That shouldn't be too difficult. Pardon the pun.
Right. Having said about Vipers, if one were to try and put herself in their shoes, it is really tough trying to keep the morale up in a most-hated team which resulted from a series of unfortunate events (with no Lemony Snickets) especially when one didn't choose to be in that spot. I'm not trying to say feng1 liang2 hua4 (wind cold talk - loosely translates into 'fake sympathy') just 'cos Mannas squeezed into the top 4. I'm thinking of my few friends in Viperians. Perhaps some has already adopted the 'play-then-play-lor' mindset and set into the 'go-through-the-motion' gear, much like many of the our games. But for a team that's loosely divided (few trainings and what not), vipers has had commendable games. Ok lor, call me a hypocrite lor - Even the deaf knew I was cheering Marlins in today's match. But I supported a few friends in Vipers ar. I refuse to further comment on my 'tattoo' on the arm when ppl pointed it out, because apparently, I gave bestfren 4 of them. HAHAHA. There is no political correct answer in tacky situations so I shall not attempt to say anything else. I love Sharks!
Aren't they beautiful creatures? Please don't eat sharks' fins.
Peiqin aka the hardworking, you're the pillar of strength in the Sharks team. Well done ar! I hope you get more than $80. (Win the MVP lor!)
On the other hand, (I'll try not to gloat, but this is MY blog you know) for a team that started off with almost nothing and a couple of anon players. All I can say is, Mannas are really true underdogs. We don't have flair flair shooters, don't have fit enough midfielders, don't have ultra experienced national players and we don't have behind-the-scenes collaborators... so we definitely deserve a pat in the back coming thus far. Granted, the games that we won may not be when opponents are at the best of forms, but we capitalised on the mistakes and took them in our stride. Despite what others may say, I'd say we sprung surprises. See, there's this saying that goes, "I'd rather be lucky than good". So whatever it takes to get as far as we can - be it bai dua pek gong, circumcise ourselves, fast, pray in confinement-, as long as we get to our goal in a NICE and CLEAN way. Don't need to commit murder just to win, I'd rather have some luck. =) So we may suffer the uglier defeats, but our mood never dampened for long and most importantly, we don't do the blame game, so for that, I'm proud and happy to be in Mannas. Oh of course, there's the incentive for earning more money this year than last year's measly $80 in Mannas. Wahahahaa..
Ok, so I'm going to aim for the sky.
-Recover in time to play vs Arowanas at 101%.
-Play a nice game (show others we're not where we are out of sheer luck even though it can be a contributing factor). Let's win deservingly or lose gloriously.
-Trackback to the fairplay days, be disciplined and have better body control.
-Play as a team and work for each other.
-Enjoy the game. Stay positive.
-Use your brain. Use your brain.
-Lastly, don't get tired. muahahhahaah...
GO UNDERDOGS!!
My butt is hurting and getting on my nerves from sitting. No joke. Hopefully I'll be back soon with more stories and less injuries.
P/S: I still hate hairy APM.
*last edit. *edited again.
P/P/S: I love bitching, still. But alas, I do not bear grudges because I have a very bad memory. And I have a certain respect for fellow human kind. (When things are taken out of context, ________.. blah blah blah. what was it again?)
*MeeOOoooWwww...* 0#%^xx#78xyz**x!!~*xx......

psst.. doesn't Yingqi look like she got blown away by my thunderous roar? HAHAHAH..
