RF Once More!

I thought they said Pistol Pete will be presenting the trophy if RF won? Ha. No leh! But as how the history book was meant to be written, one living legend witnessed another setting some new records. I guess to RF, it wasn't about setting new records. It was about regaining his World No.1 title and Wimbledon trophy. In some way, it was less emotional than winning Roland Garros - he didn't shed a tear!

Nevertheless, records defined the greatness of RF, he is the first man to...
... win 15 Grand Slams.
... appear in 20 Grand Slam Finals.
... contest in seven Wimbledon Finals in a row.

Truly consistent. Congratulations RF! When are you coming down to our little island to play? ;-)

As RF basked in the glory of regaining his crown, Andy sat there and held on to his emotions. Three cheers for Roddick! Don't feel sorry for the American No. 1, he is a true champion as well. He had put up a superb fight and made RF worked really hard. RF dropped two sets to Andy, compared to dropping only one set en route to the final. Only a total of ten points separated both men in this final. But RF is RF, and the magic stayed with RF once again this year. Perhaps, next year it will be Andy's turn if the duo meet for the fourth time in the Wimbledon final.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
