BNP Paribas 2010 Tennis!!!

Chapters: , - Saturday, March 13, 2010

Watched the Paribas match this morning with my dad. It was sooo cool. Eight tennis legends with a combined 94 Grand Slam titles between them stepped on court for the “Hit for Haiti” charity exhibition presented by Oracle, and raised $1 million for earthquake relief efforts on a memorable Friday night at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.


On the women’s side, Martina Navratilova and Justine Henin teamed up for an 8-6 win over Lindsay Davenport and Steffi Graf, while Roger Federer and Pete Sampras defeated Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal by the same scoreline in the second exhibition match of the night. I was rooting for Agassi and Nadal to win but it was a close call.

Since this was a friendly match, all players were given microphones which was attached to their clothes so that the audience could hear what they were saying. They were soooooo funny!!

At one point when a male staff member helped reattach Graf’s microphone pack to her back, her competitors quipped, “You’re going to get it from Agassi!”

Agassi, who married Graf in 2001, also took part in the friendly banter on court. He joked, “All the children are probably wondering, ‘Who are these two old bald guys playing with Federer and Nadal?’” to which Sampras retorted, “I still have some hair left. You look like Kojak over there.”

Agassi also teased partner Nadal after the Spaniard failed to reach a shot, telling him, “You move a lot faster on TV,” and poked fun at himself after Federer told him to take off his long pants. “They haven’t seen the sun in six months,” he said before rolling up his track pants to reveal his pale legs.

All in all it was the most entertaining match that I have ever seen and the best part is that the victims of Haiti get the million dollars. It was really nice of the players to spare time and help out, and this is the first match Nadal played after his injury and he was quite good!!! Go Nadal!! haha....

A Wonderful Night!!

Chapters: - Sunday, January 24, 2010

Last night, Hui Fang had steamboat at her house. She called me 2 come at 6.30 p.m but I ended up there only at around 8.00 p.m. But I think it was ok cause all the guests were coming in at that time. I was the odd one there cause none of my other college mates could make it and all her other friends that came were from her English class. But I has a really great time. We played UNO, had delicious steamboat, and chit chated for a long time. I only left her house around 10.45 p.m.


all the yummy stuff...^^

The Associate

Chapters: , - Friday, January 22, 2010

I have just bought this book. It is really great. I don't usually read this kind of books around 4 years back, but I have been influenced by my father to start up on books like this. Anyway I am huge fan of John Grisham's books. All his books are law related and I am finding his books interesting and really hard to put down!!!

An overview of the book:-

Kyle McAvoy grew up in his father’s small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania. He excelled in college, was elected editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal, and his future has limitless potential.

But Kyle has a secret, a dark one, an episode from college that he has tried to forget. The secret, though, falls into the hands of the wrong people, and Kyle is forced to take a job he doesn’t want—even though it’s a job most law students can only dream about.

Three months after leaving Yale, Kyle becomes an associate at the largest law firm in the world, where, in addition to practicing law, he is expected to lie, steal, and take part in a scheme that could send him to prison, if not get him killed.

With an unforgettable cast of characters and villains—from Baxter Tate, a drug-addled trust fund kid and possible rapist, to Dale, a pretty but seemingly quiet former math teacher who shares Kyle’s “cubicle” at the law firm, to two of the most powerful and fiercely competitive defense contractors in the country—and featuring all the twists and turns that have made John Grisham the most popular storyteller in the world, THE ASSOCIATE is vintage Grisham.
