the yellow object in dire need of a facial

the moon was neither crescent, half or three quarter last night. it was as round as a ball. guess the sea level is pretty high.

have you ever wondered what could be up there? well, neil armstrong has been there and since then, many have made their 'one small step, one giant leap for mankind' adventure there. no one reported they have encountered anything unusual e.g. alien on the moon. or did the government prevent them from telling? we will never really know.

to be or not to be (a maid)

time for that time of the year again! mum is coming soon to visit and my place must be spotless (well, almost) in accordance to her standard. else, my ears will get sore with her blabbing.


this is the top of the idiot box which i didn't touch, what more clean, since her last visit. notice the BIG difference of the part which i have not cleaned with the part that i have.

nevertheless, i look forward to her visit and the places i plan to bring her. oh, she's coming with my 4 year old nephew. with him around, my place will no longer be a sanctuary. ahhh, he has mentioned that he wants to go to cosmo world theme park in times square again. i brought him there the previous year.

result - clash of times: roger federer vs pete sampras

here is a snap of federer and sampras posing with their prizes.

SHAH ALAM, Nov 22 (Bernama) -- Pete Sampras showed Malaysian tennis fans why he was the former World number one and the most celebrated player in tennis history when he stretched current World number one Roger Federer to the limit in the `Clash of Times' before losing 6-7 (6-8), 6-7 (5-7) at the Malawati Stadium, here tonight.

Though Sampras lost the thrilling and pulsating encounter, the former World number one walked out with his head held high and a winner in the hearts of his ardent fans who backed him all the way throughout the match, cheering every winning shot he managed past his opponent who is 10 years younger and who a week ago clinched his fourth Masters title in Shanghai.

"It was a great match, Pete Sampras played some excellent tennis and the Malaysian fans were simply fantastic," said Federer before receiving his winning prize from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin.

Sampras, 36, winner of 14 Grand Slams in his career and who stayed as the world number one for six consecutive years from 1993 to 1998, had lost 4-6, 2-6 in their first exhibition match in Seoul two days ago but he put up a vintage performance today and gave Federer a run for his money.

Nothing separated the duo in the first set which went into a tie-break that was eventually won by Federer 8-6 and the second set was no different as both players had to battle it out in yet another tie-break with Federer again emerging winner with a 7-5 score.

About 10,000 fans packed the Malawati Stadium for the event held as part of the Malaysian Independence Tennis Festival with the others being the `Clash of Titans' between World number two Rafael Nadal and Richard Gasquet, which was won by Nadal on Tuesday and the ongoing ATP Malaysian Open Challenger Series.

Meanwhile, Federer, 26, winner of 12 Grand Slams already and who is expected to equal, if not surpass Sampras' record, was simply in his element today and was always in command of the exchanges although the scores look very formidable in favour of Sampras.

The duo will next leave for their third exhibition match in Macau next week.

clash of times: roger federer vs pete sampras

tonite will see the clash of current and former world no.1 in tennis, roger federer and pete sampras. view it at ntv7 or watch live at melawati stadium, shah alam.

saw sampras on the tv last night. he looked a lot older than what i remember and his hair is thinner.

so who's gonna win? of course it's federer.

clash of titans : rafael nadal vs richard gasquet

yesterday i watched part of the game between rafael nadal and richard gasquet in melawati stadium, shah alam aired over ntv7 around 8.20pm. of course the game did not start at 8.20, the show started first with interviews and profiles on the players. i was a bit excited about this since this is the first game played in malaysia by top-ranked world tennis players (no.2 for nadal, as for gasquet i'm not sure). not to mention the coming game between world no.1 roger federer and former no.1 pete sampras this thursday!

the game started not too promising for nadal and he lost in the first game. gasquet was looking for chances to overcome his rival.

so who is the winner?

nadal?



or gasquet?



my bet is on nadal in view of this superb skill and not to mention his good look and well toned body!! pardon me for being a star-strucked-teenager-like!


and the result is rafael nadal won 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 against gasquet!

yeaahhhhhiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!

snow queen - noon-eui yeo-wang

this has got to be one of the best korean dramas i ever watched. i've never felt so sad after watching since autumn in my heart. the sad ending made me depressed for a few days. korean dramas are different in that they touched your deepest emotion. i love one of the songs featured in the drama 'meari (echo)' by loveholic. it has such a haunting voice. i even managed to memorize the lyrics during the weekend.

hwang hee

if you ever watched 'over the rainbow', a korean drama aired over 8tv not long ago, then you would know the second lead actor, hwanghee. he acted as a singer frustrated with the record company he's with. in real life, he's one half of a korean duo.

i encountered these pictures of him before and after surgery. korean actresses are famous for their beautiful looks which are always enhanced by surgery but now i know, korean actors are not excluded. hwanghee is one good example.

seems like he's totally a different person, don't you think so.



are double eyelids and sharp nose really that important?
