For your viewing pleasure ;)

These pictures were taken late November last year. We had a family gathering meeting over in my uncle's house in Donggongon and these decorations caught my eyes, literally. My uncle really knows how to 'keep' and 'show off' these 'stuffs' :D

City of KK from my dad's office.
Who says we still live on trees?


A fraction of KKIA.
Very much like KLIA in a smaller scale.
Who says KK does not have an airport?


That plane is going to Bandar Seri Begawan.

Say if you go to Tuaran, try going from the Sulaman Highway.
If you have reached the Taman Indah Permai intersection, turn left and go straight ahead.
You will happen to go across a bridge and I tell you, the view is oh-so breathtaking and if the sky is clear, you will see the majestic Mount Kinabalu in glory from that bridge.
Here are some proofs:

I politely asked my dad to slow down his Hilux and I could only take that much. The worst thing was I did not even bother to take pictures on my right side where the majestic Mount Kinabalu is, that if you are on your way to Tuaran. Well, there's always next time :D

Congratulations to:

Andy Roddick (USA), who won in Memphis;

Tommy Robredo (Spain), who looks a bit like Michael Owen, for clinching his second title of the year in Buenos Aires, and

Tommy and his trophy.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France), who looks EXACTLY like young Muhammad Ali, for claiming his second title of the year in Marseille.

He does look like young Muhammad Ali!
and he's quite a crowd charmer too.

Over to the ladies,

Venus Williams (USA), who won her 40th career title in Dubai and has earned career prize money of $22,465,918 so far (and still counting);

Victoria Azarenka (Belarus), for clinching her second title of the year in Memphis. She also won the doubles title with Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark);

Vicky and her trophy.

Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez (Spain), for capturing her maiden singles title in Bogota. Like Vicky, she won the doubles title with fellow Spaniard Nuria Llagostera Vives.

Vicky & Maria should celebrate!

These players deserved their titles.

This week the men will be playing in Acapulco (Mexico), Delray Beach (USA) and Dubai (UAE) while the ladies will be playing in Acapulco. All the best for all the participating players!

Food Blog #15

So you're in Amcorp Mall, and you have no idea where to eat, then I just have the right place for you to fill your tanks!

Go to Ka Fei Dian.

I ordered:

Curry Laksa. Mind the portion.
It's a big one! :D


Thirst quenching soya cincau.

My friend Nat ordered:

Good ol' soya bean.


Egg Fried Rice with Curry Chicken.

Nat and I have been going to this restaurant 'regularly' whenever we go to Amcorp Mall simply because they serve good food. Very much like OldTown White Coffee, only better!Oh and the portions are very,very generous in this restaurant.

Where at?Ground floor.Somewhere near Famous Amos.

...and before I end this post,

Congratulations to Mark & Jessica for they become parents again! Jessica gave birth to baby Claude Tristan on February 1st at 3:48pm (yeah,I'm that precise) and here's a picture of Baby Tristan when he was just about 5 hours old.

Awww...

Congratulations to Serena & Nadal! :D

For the past fortnight I had been following the Australian Open religiously. I tracked intensively my favourite players' progress in the tournament. Some did well, some did not. I'm very happy Serena won the women's singles title. She defeated Dinara Safina (also one of my girls) 6-0 6-3. It was her fourth Australian Open title, winning the title in 2003, 2005, 2007. Call that superstition! It was also her TENTH Grand Slam title. That title also gave her back the No.1 position, with who would win the title the no.1 position would be hers to take. She also won the women's doubles title with her sister Venus. With these two titles she earned $1,528,135 and I know, that's hell of A LOT OF MONEY.

When Serena's game is on, you just don't want to mess with her.

Moving over to the men's side, I actually thought Andy Murray would win the title, but he lost in the fourth round to Spaniard Fernando Verdasco. Co-incidentally, these are the two players I featured in 'My 5 male tennis players to watch this season'. Fernando went all the way to the semi final, where he lost to Nadal in five thrilling sets.

As for the final, I actually thought that Roger Federer would win, but I knew I could not count Nadal out, because he's my favourite player! I screamed to delight when Federer had his forehand long and Nadal checked onto the ground, knowing that he has won the tournament. After the match, they had the prize giving ceremony, and Federer broke to tears, he could not hold it back. I know he wanted to win this title so badly to equal Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slams, but I guess pressure got him so badly. King Nadal defeated Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-2. Federer will have to wait a little while though, Rafael Nadal is just the undisputed King of Clay. Maybe Wimbledon?Or US Open? We'll see in about 5 months time.

By now you guys should realise that Nadal can play on all surfaces, OK?

All hail King Nadal!

Rafael Nadal deserves to 'bite' his trophy.

Serena and her trophy.
She's in 7th heaven, for sure.
