Vamos Rafa!
Nadal did it again at Rome Open winning his third consecutive titles in a row, which nobody has ever done it before! This also means that his winning streak on clay is now at 77 matches. Unbelievable!
Since I'm going to sleep soon and won't be able to catch the delay telecast @ 2 a.m., I followed up with the live score on the official Rome Open website.
It was an easy win for Nadal which I couldn't believe it since Fernando Gonzalez, the finalist, is quite a smart player and had a good year so far especially when he made it into the final at the Australian Open.
Nadal who had a rough day yesterday playing Davydenko, easily beaten Gonzalez 6-2, 6-2 in just 1 hour 24 minutes. I guess Nadal has recovered from dizziness and stomach pain which resulted in his poor game yesterday.
With his perfect game on clay so far, it's definitely a positive campaign for the upcoming French Open at Roland Garros. But before that, Nadal will be heading to Hamburg Open, which he and Federer missed last year, in preparation for the Grand Slam Open.
I assume that the problem with Paypal is going to be permanent. They should have at least send us a notification email for those who doesn't have an US bank account before implement this new regulation.
Anyway, I have tried sending out another email to Paypal asking for updates about the acceptance of payment without a US bank account again.
However, after reading the post by Weirdoux today, I've decided to get a VMI ATM card asap. The complete procedure can be found at HongKiat's blog.
Hopefully there will be no problem sending out fund via Paypal to complete the application. Anyone have any clue?
Just spent 3 hours 36 minutes watching Nadal vs Davydenko in their semifinal match at the Rome Open. It's not my favourite match especially seeing Nadal making so many repeated errors. I must say that Davydenko could be the biggest threat to Nadal especially in the upcoming French Open.
Nadal won the first set 7-6 showing that he has an extra edge especially when playing tie breaker. Then when it comes to the second set, Davydenko had a sweet revenge by winning 7-6. By the time when they were playing the third set, Nadal got back his touch and won 6-4.
So Nadal will play Fernando Gonzalez in the final tomorrow (watch the delay telecast (not again!) on Star Sports Astro Channel 82 @ 2 a.m.). The last time they met, Gonzalez beat Nadal but that wasn't on clay. I believe Nadal will have his 77 winning streak on clay and his 3rd consecutive Rome Open championship. He is unbeatable. Vamos Rafa!
I don't really have much time and energy to blog ever since I started a job contract last week. Coming back from work, it's already 9 p.m. and I have other freelance projects which needs to be done as well. Talking about my 'temporary' workplace, I really love it here because of the nice and cozy environment, friendly colleagues and tonnes of projects waiting for me to get it done (which is good as time flies so fast).
Yesterday while enjoying my favourite mint chocolate chip ice cream at Baskin Robbins, I received a call from Nokia asking me to go for audition (Nokia Wireless Challenge) at Westin Hotel this Saturday at 4.10 p.m. I submitted an application in April teaming up with my sis. Apparently my sis have to work this Saturday because there's going to be live show on Astro. Hope she can get a colleague to help out so that we can attend the audition. Well... I don't have any idea on how my team can impress the interviewers. I don't think talking alone will work in this audition. I'm thinking of either be ourselves and hope for nothing or do something to show our enthusiasm like chewing a live worm or something. And I can do juggling too. Haha...what do you think?
My sis bought me the book, The Secret, few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or what. I read the book and try to 'practise' it, you know, sending signal / frequency through visualization to the universe and guess what? I received a cheque in my postbox (which I have waited for so long) yesterday. This explain why I celebrated it with a mint chocolate chip ice cream :) Some people might not believe it, but it works for me. Well, at least once.
Vamos Rafa!
