Life: My Photo Image Gallery Blog

I posted quite numbers of my photo image pictures in the beginning of this blog and don't do that anymore since then but I still have quite number of pictures to share, so I decided to create another blog just to dedicate it to all pictures I have taken since I owned digital cameras. Only selected pictures will be posted in this blog.

Sports: Rafael Nadal - Definitely King of Clay Court

After convincingly winning his 4th Grand Slam title, all in French Open and clay court, Rafael Nadal - World No.2 in ATP Tour ranking - is definitely King of Clay Court. He crushed Roger Federer (currently World No.1) 6-1 6-3 6-0 in an almost perfect performance. Roger Federer still can't find way to beat Rafael Nadal, even after employed clay-specialist coach, and now have been beaten in 8 of 9 matches between them on clay. Only this French Open title still keep Roger Federer out of a perfect tennis career.

Rafael Nadal is a very kind and humble guy - never see him loose temper during the match - and also a very hard working and tough player, never give up until last point and always be able to make incredible comeback when left behind quite far in scoring... patiently collect point-by-point to win the set. 

Rafael Nadal's trademark is biting every trophy he won, see the picture!

He still have quite long way to overtake Roger Federer, who still shows the best of him in most of the tournaments he participate. He needs to prove himself in other surface and the next challenge is Wimbledon which he almost win last year after exhausted 5 sets match with Roger Federer. Still he has to keep his pace and not let Novak Djokovic (World No.3) pass him. Fortunately he still be able to hold Djokovic after 2 wins, both in semifinal, in clay court this year.

My wife is Rafael Nadal's big fan and can't miss any of his match!

Sports: Ana Ivanovic - She is No.1 now

After the retirement of former No.1, Justine Henin, the defeat of Maria Sharapova in 4th round, important match with Jelena Jankovic in semifinal, Ana Ivanovic wins French Open to capture her first grand slam title - after failed in two previous grand slam finals last year French Open and this year Australian Open - and subsequently for certain she will become the world women tennis No.1.

Ana Ivanovic convincingly beats Dinara Safina in the final 6-4 6-3. Credit to much improve and stunning performance of Dinara Safina for her way to the final by beating Maria Sharapova, Elena Dementieva, and Svetlana Kuznetsova.

So, my prediction in my previous article about Ana Ivanovic in no nonsense and turn to reality in only two-and-half months! And, with her young 20-years old age, she has very bright future ahead.

Congratulation Ana Ivanovic... go and get the rest of the grand slam titles!!

Life: Memory of Living in Choa Chu Kang

I went to Choa Chu Kang's Lot 1 Shoppers' Mall last week with one objective... having lunch in my favorite Japanese food stall there where I haven't been there quite long already, but only to face disappointment. Lot 1 Shoppers' Mall is under renovation and expansion including the basement Food Junction (it moves to 4th floor) and as result, some of the food stall were closed including my favorite food stall, Sumo Japanese Cuisine. It is special for me because it is where I started my appetite on the Japanese sushi & sashimi, especially the raw salmon... so sweet & tasty (even bears like salmon!). Since I am quite particular on food, I order almost the same meal each time I ate there, so they will know automatically what I am going to order... So sad that it is no more there, probably it has been closed quite sometime already... because can't compete with those established Japanese restaurant chains and rising rental. The front stall which sell my favorite bubble tea, nasi lemak, and fried banana, also has not been there anymore...

Five years ago, I live in Choa Chu Kang area, Northvale condo specifically for three years... it was my first time living in condominium in Singapore, thanks to the affordable rental cost at that time due to property downturn. The condo is very near to MRT station, bus station, and mall. So, I enjoy living there so much. Since the mall is just across the street, I can go there anytime to eat, window shopping, watch movie, and visit library.

Well... like people always says, the consistent thing in this world is change, so there it goes. I am not sure whether I will still go to Choa Chu Kang since I have lost the 'link'.
