australian open, another surprise


The tennis grand slam opened with new winners but certainly not new faces. Marat Safin from russia won the men single while Serena Williams (USA) won the women title. Roger Federer (Swiss) and Maria Sharapova (russia) , both the king and queen of last year's grand slam, havent warmed up yet as they lost to their respective grand slam winners during the semifinal stage. Hmmm...so much for tennis...

As for football, Chelsea is advancing to the FA cup final having reached the top spot on the score table.

Today, i applied for accomodation contract renewal for maybe another 6 months or so...But i really hope i can manage to complete my PhD thesis during this last 6 months of "the kesian punya" extra time. Kena kuat semangat, keep up my motivation level and continue to persevere insha allah.

Arif has just begun his normal office hour work today after struggling to kickstart their old business for nearly a year or so....

My nephew, asim and niece, aliyyah both kena chicken pox...in the same time, i dah booked ticket to birmingham this friday....hmmm...semoga dijauhkan dari jangkitan penyakit2 berjangit, ameen......yesterday was asim's 4th bday. Poor boy, celebrating his bday when he's down with that chicken pox fever...I remembered that i had it once when i was 12 yrs old...It left me with some scars on my body and one spot on my forehead.
