What a messy day...

You would not be able to imagine what a messy day I had today...

It was a rainning day and I had tutorial with one teacher before the party we are holding for a great professor and friend all the way from Wales. We had planned to hold this party long ago on today, 24th of June, however, I got scheduled with this teacher just 1 week before and I could not be able to reschedule it. Therefore, I must say SORRY for not being able to open the quite room (common room) door and set up tables before the party. However, I asked my dearest flatmate, RoseAnne, to open the door for Kitty around the fixed time and I thought that everything will be just fine. However, I think that things would not just go as what you planned that easily.

The weather was cloudy but at aleast no rain when I went out for tutorial, however, it rained so much and hard when I walked out the building. I was wondering how could I go back for the party just in time so I decided to just go without any raincoat or umbrella. I met Doris and David, the professor from Wales on my way back to the flat. I got to my flat and noticed that none of the participants was there yet. Doris explained to me that Kitty could not find my RoseAnne at all. I thought that I had my key---but....the terriblest thing was I lost my key somewhere in Westwood campus--which meant that I could not even open the door for them and get my wet clothes changed. Anyway...the door opened by someone and I found my key back with Doris' waterproof jacket. In addition, I knew why RoseAnne did not open the door for Kitty because I told her the wrong time. How could I? SILLY ME :(


Moreover, I kept dropping water, fruit,tea and everything on the floor that day. Everything just not work its track. I even realised that I filled out the wrong form that morning for no reason and almost not be able to get my letter just in time. Well...well...I hope that was it...

NO MORE MESSY DAY, PLEASE...

Go! Go! Go! Andy...

Andy Roddick.

Andy Roddick, my new idol in tennis after Pete Sampras since the year of 2003. Andy won his first grand slam on US OPEN in 2003 and I enjoyed and cheered for him for every match that time. He has a not very good temper and somehow quite easily to be upset or angry with the judgements on court. However, he has his fastest and strongest weapons--aces and solid baseline. Moreover, he has the stongest belief that never give it up till the last second--and this is the key reason that I am so keen on his plays.

Roddick, the second seed from the United States, outlasted lucky loser Daniele Braccial of Italy, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 (3-7), 4-6, 6-3, in a second-round match Friday at Wimbledon that took two days to complete. On Thursday night, play was suspended by darkness moments after Bracciali won the third-set tiebreaker. When play resumed Friday, Bracciali broke Roddick at love in the seventh game when rain again suspended play. After a short delay, the Italian held in his next two service games to force a decisive fifth set. Roddick broke Bracciali in the sixth game of the fifth set but quickly found himself down, 15-30. The Italian made a tremendous return of Roddick's next serve, but the American made a diving forehand volley winner and eventually won the game for a 5-2 lead.

This is Andy Roddick, he behaves the way he likes and he put all his efforts on--and that's it. He tried his best to save each possible game and work harder on the next game or match. This is the attitude that I admire and I encourage myself to learn. After the tired 5 set match today, I think that all Andy needs is a hot bath and a sound rest.

GO ON....ANDY!!!
