自分はまた何をしたいかとわからなくなってしまった。

In the world of clay tennis, Rafa has lost his grip on Roland Garros. Unbelievable. Even from the start he was shaky, losing the first set. I guess he needed a week off.
Even the women’s defending champion lost. The French are cheering Monfils and Tsonga on. I think I will too.

Farewell Maldini.

Two modern day warriors battled it out in 5 hours and 14 minutes. It was no doubt exhausting for them, I felt it too at times but I couldn’t tear my eyes from the tv screen, even when I had to leave for an appointment at the tail end of the fourth set. I was lucky that a change of venue enabled me to see the exhilirating end.

Fantastic match. Hope Nadal gets enough rest for Sunday’s final.

Some try their whole lives to qualify for the Olympics and fail.

So, to make four consecutive appearances in the Olympics is not only rare but a massive achievement.

And that’s exactly what sailor Kevin Lim has done.

Come August, he will make history as the first Malaysian athlete to compete in four Olympics in Beijing after making the cut from the Laser World Championships, which ended in Terrigal, Australia, yesterday.

Kevin earned Malaysia a quota spot in the event in Beijing after finishing 15th out of 52 sailors competing in the silver fleet.

Not one, not two, but FOUR. And he did it without much support from MSN or any sporting bodies.

It’s a Red Sox nation

The Boston Red Sox won four straight games to beat Colorado Rockies in the World Series Championship, their second in four years.

I only saw the final two games, and they were nerve wrecking! Boston just had to make it hard on themselves, losing their leads and in the third game looked as it the Rockies might take that one back. Still, they fought back to keep the game on their side. In the fourth game at Coors Field, Boston had a comfortable 3-1 lead and Bobby Kielty added another single homerun in the eighth. However, Colorado reduced the gap to make the score 4-3, and Okajima had to step down the mound, making way for closer Papelbon.

Mike Lowell got MVP of the series. In the final game, Lowell hit a 2-run homer. It’s interesting to see where he will end up next season because his contract with Boston ends today.

I recognise all the Japanese players in the series – Okajima, Matsuzaka (Boston) and Matsui (Colorado). Theo Epstein, the General Manager of the Red Sox was there, of course. Hensem! Heh.

I should’ve at least passed by Fenway Park when I was in Boston earlier this year. Ah well…

So, Tun Dr. M has been discharged. The Springboks triumphed over the English. Our Angkasawan is safely back on earth. 4-1. Hehe.

What a happening weekend for many, although some people have happening days all year round.

No road trip to look forward to this next couple of weeks. Being pessimistic is good sometimes, eh. Just work and more work. Yes, I do work, even if I can nip out to the mall for a movie if I feel like it.

I’ve been I am lousy company, sorry.
