The last day, the first day

Wow! Finally the last day of 2006, coming on the first day of 2007. Not a happy 2006 year though, with all those natural disasters happened last minute in the nick of time, as if to prove God is always there to punish on our human sins. The flood, not to far away from me, because my grandparents still worry they will stcuk in the heavy rain. They live in Johor, the area that still not yet affected by the great power of cats and dogs. But half way to their house was quite adventurous, according to my little sister, who experienced the first ever water coming into the car during the journey. I was exceptional, as I won't be home for Christmas, missing the trip to my grandparent's house. I hope the clouds will clear soon, and not coming to Penang for God's sake, 'coz I'll be in Penang until my mid semester holiday and Chinese New Year. Chinese belief water brings money and prosperity, hope this blood brings some good in the coming new year.

Bowling here I come!

haha! Last friday, which is Dong Zhi (the coldest day in winter), I went bowling with Siew Ling, Lian Huey and Zui Yu. 3 out of 4 of us, this is the first time we play bowling! And when we get there, we didn't even know the rules of paying the games, haha! And the ball, huh, the lightest ball is also very heavy! My ball alllll went into the 'longkang'! We played two games, first game, I got the lowest mark, 36 only, second game I became the highest! Duno why, but although I strike once, but my strength is still not enough, coz my ball 'walk' slowly towards the end of the pin! My 'coach' siew ling said, your aiming is good, work up your strength. I said, man, if I could play hard, I will. The commentator, also Siew Ling, said that all of the players have good potential, only need more training! Wow! We're pro, man! But not enough $$$ to invest in training, that's all. A special experience of bowling! Next time, better try ice skating before getting to...

Mixed pair in the semis (Asia Doha)

Fairuzizuan-Pei Tty upstaged the top Korean pair of Lee Jae-jin-Lee Hyo-jung in a quarter-final match in Doha last night. Fairuzizuan-Pei Tty defeated the world number eight 22-20, 11-21, 21-13 to earn a place in the semi-finals against China’s Zheng Bo-Gao Ling. I watched the late night delay telecast. Oh no! Pei Tty is not very good in coordination with Fairu. Sometimes they clashed their rackets together. And she also made some mistakes that shouldn't be made. But maybe Lee Jae-jin was making mistakes as much as in the early match with Koo-Tan. So this gave Malaysian pair luck! And Lee Hyo-jung, although the Korean pair lost, but her back hand smash was awesome! She could back hand smashed until the shuttler was out! How powerful she is! Yeah! For now, we can also expect another medal from this mixed double! And who knows? Maybe this pair will create the history of clinching a medal in mixed double game.
