Shocks!

Sad news. World no. 1 and top seed, Ana Ivanovic, was sent packing from Wimbledon. She lost in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, to world no. 133, Zheng Jie of China. Darn it. I really wanted her to win. Now I'm rooting for either, Jelena Jankovic, Svetlana Kuznetsova or defending champion Venus Williams to win. I was so shocked when I read the news. This is one of the most weirdest Wimbledon ever. Most of the seeded players are out. Sharapova, Mauresmo, Mirza, Bartoli, Hantuchova, Djokovic, Roddick, Blake and a lot more in the exodus of the seeds. Lucky, Roger Federer is still in. Oh. And I just found out that a lot of people, especially the Russians, feel a lot of resentment towards Maria Sharapova. The girl (whatshername), who beat Maria, said that no one on the tour knows Maria well because she's not a very talkative girl and not outgoing. She also said that it was very pleasant to beat Maria because she didn't like her outfit. She also rambled on about not being afraid of being...

Today, had 2 hours of DnT. We had to make a structure that would be stable enough to hold a box and all the stuff in it. Had to be 10cm high. Crushed paper balls and folded the thing to make it 10cm high. Wasted a LOT of paper. We are not eco friendly people. LOL. :P Then did a powerpoint and needed to find pictures and then send to Mr L's hotmail. Then checked Wimbledon website. Guess what? Maria Sharapova, the no. 3 seed, crashed out of the competition 6-2, 6-4 against world no. 154 Alla Kudryavtseva. Shocking. She lost in straight sets, committed eight double faults, three of them in one game in the first set, served poorly throughout and never managed to get her forehand working effectively. Roddick was dumped too ,6-7, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6, by World No. 40, Janko Tipsarevic. Providing a running commentary on his own strengths and weaknesses, Roddick appeared to be holding a tennis class for beginners: "Andy, don't hit second service returns into the net!" "Just d...

School!

So this is the 2nd day of the new school semester. We now only have Mrs C as our form teacher. Ms T is not our co-form. Wonder how Mrs C is going to cope all by herself... Hmm... Mary is the new chairperson. Haha... Responsibility man. ;) Amalina is the vice-chairperson and Zainul the treasurer. Keith wanted to be the vice-chairperson but no one voted for him. Next time, Keith. :P We keep changing timetables which is well irritating. We have a new English teacher, Ms P, and she is from Australia . Technically, she is still a Singaporean, but having lived in Australia for 5-6 years, she now has an Australian accent. She had some cool stories about the Down Under, which were interesting. She's one of those people who will laugh at what they are saying. We laughed at her, not, with her. LOL. But school's been OK except the fact that dear (-_-') Ms L has decided that to improve our Maths, we are going to have a test every week to see if we remember what was taught the week ...

WWW, Changi Airport & Marina Sq

So here are the pictures from yesterday when I went out with the family. First we went to Wild, Wild, Wet (which was frickin' awesome by the way). Then we decided to go to the airport since the last time I went there was like a decade ago and I wanted to see the new terminal. Went there, not a lot of people. I was so jealous of the people who actually were going somewhere. Riding on an airplane and going away. I wanted that. LOL. Years from now, me and my sister are going to Manchester. Yes we are. :D Then went to Marina Square Pizza Hut to eat pizza. Sort of like celebrating Father's Day since dad was there. :D Note the awesome Man Utd shirt from their 2006/2007 season. :D
