Actually I always wanted to share about the above topic but each time I tend to forget about it. While having lunch with my colleagues the other day, they asked me why I always chose the same type of food: sambal petai and udang, kari ayam and a telur goreng. For the past two months, we went to the same restaurant (although not everyday) and I've been taking the same menu without realizing that!
And the other day while listening songs from my laptop, my sister complained because I've been listening to John Legend's songs over and over again without realizing it. These are just two examples.
Now, guess which sports player who's even worse than me? Yes, you are right! Nadal has some of the most obsessive compulsive habits. He pulls his underpants almost before every pre-serve, straighten his socks, make sure his water bottles are placed back exactly on the same spot and bites his winning trophies.
Based on some of the discussion in tennis forum, it seems that those are Nadal's rituals probably inducted by his coaches as a way to focus himself in the game and control his explosive energy and emotional behaviour while playing in competition.

Fedex still rules the grass
Nadal almost denied Federer his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title last night. Just like last year, the final match was stretched to five sets. By the fourth set, it looked convincing to me that Nadal could win the Grand Slam but the knee injury he suffered gave Fedex the advantage to take his favourite title.

back for good & updates on Wimbledon 2007
OK, I'm away quite long enough from the blogosphere and I guess this time I'm back for real again. There's a lot of blogs reading and comments posting to be done today. So, I'm going to keep this post short.
There's nothing more important to blog about than a post on the Wimbledon, right? Yes, another battle between Nadal and Federer tonight. Fedex might be playing on his best surface and the favourite to win but I'm putting my bet on Nadal. Hope Nadal will break Fedex dominance!

missing in action
First of all, let me apologize for the lack of posts last week. In fact, totally no post since Sunday.
I've been very busy compiling data and preparing for a seminar for my research project since the new semester will reopen in July. Also, I've been very busy meeting new friends online and offline, playing pool and partying lately, which I normally wouldn't do.
My apology if I have not been able to check out your blog but I'll definitely spend more time this weekend to catch up with what I've been missing for the last week.
I have a lot of posts to be published here and share with you. See you guys later on Friday!
