i want to love you but i don't know if i can.

hello avid readers (ya totally.) sorry for my recent lack of updates. have been pretty busy obsessing with aussie open. and packing and unpacking at my new place. so yes. it's been awhile since i last updated. let's go back awhile shall we. to well, last sunday.

well, last sunday was by far the happiest day i've been this year. HAHA. i know. last sunday was only the 31st of january and so i still have a LONG way to go till the end of the year. so yes, so far, that has been the awesomest day ever. BECAUSE....

ROGER FEDERER WON THE AUSSIE OPEN. omgomgomgomgomgomgomg.

yes. it was a really tough match to watch, even though he won in straight sets. after each set, you couldn't help but think, what if murray wins this set! what if it goes into tie-breaker! can my heart take that kind of excitement! well luckily, my heart wasn't to be tested. at least not that drastically. i did have to sit through and excruciating 3rd set tie-break that saw match point, championship point, match point, championship point bounce about for at least 3 times, if i'm not wrong. it was terrible having to watch that. but in the end, federer worked his magic and made us all very happy. yes indeed. LONG LIVE KING FEDERER. i almost hope he never retires. the world of tennis would be an empty place without him.

i used this photo cause. i don't know. i just think it looks really nice. and kind of special. it's definitely different from all those of him posing at the yarra river the next day. or those at the awards ceremony. is that what you call that. yea. i think this looks nice and relaxed. haha.

and here's another hilarious photo of him. i just can't stop laughing everytime i see it. it came from the "caption it" section in the aussie open website where they post up photos and people try to give it a caption. it's hilarious.

the description for the photo was:

The Fed is a debonair chap, so how odd to see him struggling with a change of clothes at change of ends.

and the winning caption:

"If only putting on my shirt was as easy as winning Grand Slam titles..."

AHAHAHAHAHA. i cannot take it. it's just too hilarious in my opinion.

and another favourite photo of another favourite tennis player of mine.

how can you deny he's the cutest player in the circuit. seriously. i really hopes he wins big time one day. would love to see his victory dance again. whee.

so yes, tennis is unfortunately over. :( which means i have basically nothing to tweet about for awhile. hahaha. but ahwell.

since monday, the sister and i have been moving back and forth between my place and hers like nonstop. there's a MILLION things to move. i swear. but it's nice. now my place actually looks fit for staying. cookware and everything's in. bed, tv (most importantly), clothes, toiletries and the lot. no photos of the finish product yet. cause right now it's still pretty messy with the sister's luggage lying around. but will post up photos of it once the place looks better. have put up all my polaroids on the wall. it's the coolest thing ever i swear. and a massive chunk of photos in front of my study table. makes me feel much happier looking at all those photos. yes it does.

say hello to the super huge ass mess.

more mess. AND THE TV. awesome shits.

kitchen completely stocked for a house party. check out the indomee mee goreng. yes ah.

clothes in the cupboard. whee.

and more clothes in the chest of drawers. whee.

so yea. that's about it for today. the sister's leaving this saturday, which is a really depressing thought. bah. but i guess once she's gone, i'll have more time to myself and my tv. haha. yes, i think i'll revert to my old couch potato self. as in the pre-aussie open pre-aussie couch potato days. yes, those days back in singapore where i watch shows on my laptop till like, 7 am and wake up at around 3 pm. yes, life is good. hahahah. or maybe i should try to be healthy and go exercise a bit. prolly try to explore the place a little bit. just a little bit.

ahwell then. till the next time.

quit playing games with my heart

"that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, i like it. uh-huh uh-huh."

a little premature for this, i know. and i hope i don't jinx it by posting this victory dance photo. but isn't tsonga the cutest?! the cutest guy on the circuit is currently playing novak djokovic, or nole i don't know why, who is appearing to be a really strange guy. but still kind of likable. just hating on him a little bit now cause tsonga is losing. BUT. i believe in tsonga and i KNOW he will come back. i hope.

eck. tsonga just lost the 3rd set. shittums.

well either way round, the winner is going to play federer, my hero. so it doesn't really matter cause OF COURSE i would go for federer to win. but it would be nice to see tsonga win and do his little victory dance in his neon yellow/lime green shirt. what colour is that, seriously. but either way round. he is THE cutest. i swear.

saw some pretty funny fan boards, whatever they're called.

"tsonga can go longa." hahahhahaha. totally.

"roger federer is like a swiss knife. he always has the right tools to get out of bad situations. roger that!" or something like that. prolly a few words wrong here and there. but you get the point.

hmmm. novak djokovic looks like he has some problems. WILL HE RETIRE?

geez, i'm turning my blog into twitter.

so the match before this was federer and davydenko. was quite a scare going into it.what with davydenko beating federer in the last 2 matches they played. the one in doha only recently. so it was pretty scary. so many things on the line for federer. will he make his 23rd consecutive semi final in grand slams? will he remain at no.1? and so the match started. and i must say federer played pretty horrendously in the first match. and was still playing horrendously for the first half of the second set. AND THEN THE STUPID CHANNEL 7 HAD TO SHOW NEWS! omgggg. i swear it was the most horrible moment EVER. leaving us when federer was playing badly! are you trying to kill us or what! thank goodness for live scores on the aussie open site. though staring at the score board is totally different and feels pretty retarded. but watching the score go from 15-0 to 40-0 to 40-40 is actually pretty exciting. for reasons yet unknown. luckily, federer came back in the second half of the second set. thank the lord. and then federer went on the win the set. and the next. AT SIX-LOVE YO! coolest thing ever. and so i continued staring at the score board, wondering what was going on inside the rod laver arena. the 4th set went pretty even. they each held serve. until federer broke at er, 5 i think? AND THEN HE COULDN'T WIN MATCH POINT. which was the shittiest moment. but he broke davydenko's next serve and THANKFULLY, was able to win his match point in the next set.

and that is the story of federer's match against davydenko.

it was a pretty scary day of tennis for the top seeds. venus lost to li na. when she was up 2 match points i think. according to the commentators. and serena looked like she was going to lose too. but she did a turn around like federer did and won. which was awesome. cause azarenka's amazingly annoying with her strange noises. but she played a good game, of course. until she pretty much gave up when serena had her comeback. at one point of the match, it was pretty much just a screaming contest. it was getting ke-razy out there. seriously.

ok i think i shall stop yakking about tennis here and go back to concentrating on the match. and praying for tsonga.

GO TSONGA!

holding your scarred heart in hand

went to watch AUSTRALIAN OPEN yesterday. omggggggggg. it was a FEDERER match. double omgggggggg. and he WON. OH AM GEE, in the words of saffy. yes. it was awesomest. even though we were in the freaking last row. tsk. but it wasn't that bad actually. sure, you can't see the pores on his faces and all. but you can still see his face. pretty much. and i didn't have to squint to see the court, as i thought i might have to. yea, so it was not bad. and the atmosphere was awesome, of course. though it got really annoying when the aussie fanatics kept cheering. super super annoying. but i suppose they are entitled to their cheering and all. either way round, federer won so yes. he only lost one service game. which was awesome shits. and i must admit that when hewitt won that service game, it was quite an exciting moment. like FINALLY, kind of moment. though i was like, crap federer! but it was all fine in the end. federer did his magic, as usual, and did not disappoint. thank you, federer. :)

i shall post up some photos i managed to take yesterday. yes, they're not exactly very awesome. i was in the last row ok. and my lenses aren't exactly THAT awesome. so ya.

my tennis hero, roger federer, world number one.

federer in action.

yes, they're minute, i know. but ahwell. how else do i fit the whole court into one frame.

so yep. it was an awesome night. watched federer win in STRAIGHT sets, thank you very nice. unfortunately, was unable to find him on the practice courts to stalk him. don't suppose they stay out on practice courts till after 5pm. boo. didn't get myself a souvenir, yet. the souvenirs are crazy expensive! the jumbo wilson ball cost a freaking 35 bucks. are you crazy! think i'll go buy the poster. at least that's just 10 bucks. waaaaaay more affordable than anything else. yes, a poster to hide the dirty marks on my stupid wall.

aussie open has made me a couch potato. we were SUPPOSED to go to chapel today, again. oh yes, we didn't go on sunday because we woke up at prolly 1 or 2. usual rising time most days. so anyway, SUPPOSED to wake up at 11am to watch the henin match. but duh, obviously i didn't. woke up at 1, no 2, for goodness sake. was awaken 3 times by super loud and super scary sounding fighter planes, or something. it was damn scary i swear! i mean, you're all woozy and half asleep and you hear these really loud fighter planes sounding like they're flying RIGHT OUTSIDE your window. it totally sounds like world war three i swear! of course, after thinking about it for awhile, you then realise it's aussie day and they're prolly have parades or exhibitions or whatever and you go back to sleep. but of course, to be awaken by it 2 more times. but ahwell. oh i've totally digressed. so yes, i'm now a couch potato. though i have been for quite awhile now. since i left nus to be exact. but seriously. i think this is the longest i've sat on the sofa watching tv. just keep watching one match after another, one day after another. not that i'm complaining of course. but i do feel kind of bored. would like to go out one of these days. but unfortunately, all the exciting matches are coming up. what with quarter finals starting today. deng deng deng. fingers crossed for the awesomest federer of course. ALL THE WAY!

on the bright side. tsonga is through to the quarters as well! he plays djokovic next. hmmmmm. i really can't decide who to support. but i think, slightly leaning to the tsonga camp. he's so cute! and really funny when he plays. what's not to love. of course, djokovic is prety hansum too. with a really cool name at that. hahha. but yea. i think i'll go for tsonga.

and there's the henin vs zheng jie semis. excitings! as much as i want to support my fellow race-person, whatever the hell that means, i'm definitely supporting henin. comeback queen all the way yo! i hope she wins the aussie open. henin and federer. ooh, dream come through.

to continue with the tennis talk, went from one blog to this tumblrs thingy. quite cool. it's basically a blog but mostly filled with photos. and with the same concept of twitter where you can retweet. i suppose they call it retumblr. saw this photo and just thought it was amazingly hilarious.

hahahahhahahhahahahhaha.

as much as i love federer and want him to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF nadal and remain the greatest of all time EVER, i must admit that nadal is a pretty hilarious and cute personality. plus he is a good player. damn you nadal. his facial expressions are often amazingly hilarious and his obsessive complusive arrangement of his evian bottles is the most hilraious thing ever.

http://vamosrafa.tumblr.com

here, go have fun looking at all of nadal's retarded facial expressions.

and i found another one with pictures of federer&nadal. and it's kind of gay-centric, bromance-centric tumblr. but just as hilarious.

http://fuckyeahfedal.tumblr.com/

although i do hate the photos of federer crying at aussie open 2009. it's depressing to watch him cry like that. but yes, he bounced back and that's what's important.

found this photo and thought it was amazingness. he looks like his flying! plus the i-don't-care look on his face. ya man.

and THIS! amazing and hilarious all at the same time. i hope he got the ball. and recovered for the next point after. i can't really remember.

ok. enough with tennis. according to twitter and the How I Met Your Mother production team, the show will be back for a sixth season! awesome! it's going to be "legend-wait for it!-dary!" ohmygodd. i cannot wait. yes, we can all live with a weekly dose of neil patrick harris in our lives. wheeeeeeeeee!

Girls Vs. Suits. hahahahhaha.

apparently they were on playboy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

"ted, SUIT UP!"

and of course,

and i shall leave you with a quote from my favouritest (totally) Barney Stinson played by the just as awesome Neil Patrick Harris.

"It's going to be lengen- wait for it and i hope you're not lactose-intolerant cause the second half of that word is- dairy!"

when you try your best but you don't succeed

another day spent at home. we actually went out. for like an hour. was planning on watching fantastic mr fox but it wasn't exactly available. so after lunch, at about 1.30pm, we walked about a bit. a bit being going into diva. and that was about it. sat outside hudsons for awhile deciding if we should go somewhere and came home in the end. this extended holiday is turning out to be not as fun as i imagined. bah.

so aussie opens starts today. sharapova lost. first match of the day. not very surprising in my opinion. she's had quite a few early round exits recently is i'm not wrong. murray won, i think. fell asleep after the first set or so. sadly, nadal won. but that was quite obvious. tomorrow's going to be an exciting day! serena, venus, federer. woohoo! sadly, can't be there to watch cause we're selling one of the beds and the person is coming to collect it tomorrow. bah. so now we're waiting for thursday to see how it goes. tickets for the night matches are already sold out. and knowing my luck, federer is prolly playing the night matches. therefore it's sold out. life sucks i swear. i HAVE to watch federer play. i just HAVE to. hopefully, we'll get lucky and federer will once again be playing the morning matches and we'll get to watch him. but my logic is that they switch it around? morning matches one day and night matches the other. bah. my luck/life sucks.

my stupid itunes is still giving me problems. i've done every single bloody thing suggested in the itunes help page and it is still not working. i'm so damn frustrated. thinking of downloading itunes again but what if that doesn't work and i've just wasted another 80mb. i hate how aussie internet works. seriously. and i can't find any place with free wifi. could you not be so cheapo for goodness sake! argh.

ok. enough ranting for today. i'm sure there are people out there in worse off situations than me. i should be thankful. yes. getting the keys for my new home, whee!, this wednesday. quite exciting. can't wait to move in. can't wait to decorate! i'm going to stick all my photos and all my polaroids on the wall. it's going to be awesome. yes ah.

alrighty then. that's about it for today. shall go read the news or something.
