Sports: Ana Ivanovic

She is one of the talented young tennis player, currently No.2 in WTA Tour ranking, and in my view, it just a matter of time for her to win any of GrandSlam title and even capture the No.1 spot from Justine Henin.

She plays beautiful tennis, pretty, feminine, and won titles, such a rare combination that I have never seen since Chris Everet era.

The picture was taken from her Official website.

FYI: Tears for Porpoise

Music: Air Supply

Air Supply was my first favourite group band because they have many beautiful love songs.

It was interesting on how I knew this group band. It back to the early 80's when I was still living in Bontang, a new small town in East Kalimantan, follow my parents who worked there. One day, on my way back home from Youth Center, I spotted spoilt cassette tape on the road side. Curious, I took it and brought it back home and then I moved the tape to another casing and then played it... the first song that it played was American Heart. I immediately like most of the songs so I wonder which singer or group band had these nice songs. That time, information was scarce and internet still not exists, not even PC. TV was still in very early stage, so no way I can find the information.

It is only when I moved back to Palembang, my hometown, for my high school, that I had chance to look for information. I went through the music shops and browse through till I finally found out that it was Air Supply. And, I found that they had many more nice love songs... Among them, Lost In Love, Even The Nights Are Better, All Out Of Love, and Without You are my favourite ones.
