YAY!!

Hello everyone!

Well i realised that the email method does work without a proxy in China, which is awesome. Anyway, talking about my last day in Sydney. Me, Dad and Jennifer took a Family Funday ticket on Sunday for just $2.50! I never knew this type of ticket existed :O Anyway, we took a train to Macquarie University and ate there and had fun. Then we took a train to Town Hall, and took a monorail around the city. It was actually pretty bad because it was really crowded and the air-conditioning didn't work. Anyway we took a train then to Circular Quay and took a ferry to Olympic Park and ended there... 

Then I had dinner with Mr Mu, which was actually quite interesting. 

The next day I would leave home at 8pm. We were quite late to the airport, and to make it worse, our luggage was too heavy and we had to resort our bags. We were actually quite close to missing the airport, with maybe another 100 passengers. The 9 hour flight to Shanghai felt a lot shorter than the one to Sydney, which was a good thing. Then we arrived in Shanghai, and then accidentally left a piece of luggage on the baggage claim, and had to do all this stuff to get it back. Then we took the late night flight to Beijing, which was really boring, because there was nothing to do. And then we arrived there and apparently I was about to suffocate breathing in the Beijing air. And yes, it was absolutely freezing coming out into -15 degree cold. And then we arrived home at around 1:30am the following day. 

It was a long day at school on the same day...

Anyway, the Sydney trip was well worth it and it just felt great to get out of China for the first time in a few years. 

Now with the tennis...

So last week was a real interesting week for women's tennis with Justine Henin coming back to the WTA Tour after a hiatus of 2 years. The Brisbane International final was held between Kim Clijsters and countrywoman Justine Henin. It was a really great final with the ending score as 6-3 4-6 7-6(6) with Clijsters winning the match and saving 2 match points at 4-5 in the 3rd set. However Henin was due to play in Sydney however because of injury, she will withdraw to save energy for the Australian Open next week.

Roger Federer had another early exit in Doha after being defeated by Russian Nikolay Davydenko, who then later beat Rafael Nadal in the Final. All of them are due to play in the Australian open next week.

Another day

Well... today's been a cool day :D. Started off with checking out that violin I saw yesterday and sending it to my violin teacher if it was actually worth the price. It wasn't, and I wasn't surprised. So in the afternoon, I headed to Chris' house to watch anime, play wii and watch the Simpsons Movie. It's been a while since I've seen him.

Anyway, tomorrow is a free day once again, probably heading around town on trains and ferry using a daytripper to just hang around Sydney.

So once again, school starts in just 2 days, that is if you don't count today.

Chillax

Well... today's been a short day. in just 3 days... I go back to Beijing :(

Anyway, looking looking on the bright side of life,

Yesterday afternoon playing Ashley in tennis, I almost beat him, however he still beat me 7-6(1)

I served well and my backhand was working pretty well. I have also gotten used to the grass courts, but won't be useful anyway because Beijing has no grass courts.

This morning I just chilled at home til afternoon, then headed to the violin shop in Epping to try out the 110 year old violin. It was pretty good, with a value now of 10,000 bucks. Then in the afternoon, I headed to Rhodes Shopping Centre, and didn't do anything but sit on a chair and just play iPod games.

Tomorrow I will be heading to Chris' house in Carlingford, whom I haven't seen in a long time.

Anyway, hope I have fun in my last days here :P

Tuesday 5th January.

It was a fun day... First starting off with my visit to the open house in Sydney University. While almost all the promoters there thought I was in my senior year, I didn't look all that small either. After a really cool trip there, I went to the Sydney Apple Store. I was expecting to buy Snow Leopard, and luckily to me, my dad was really interested in the Magic Mouse, so he bought that too along with Snow Leopard. I've already installed both 0n this computer and it's working like it never was before!

Today (Jan.6) I will be playing Ashley again in a game of tennis, so yeah.

Still 5 days before the holidays are over...

and 6 til school starts for me

Just 6 days left...

And apparently Beijing just had a great big blizzard, which isn't cool because I totally missed it! Anyway, there is just 6 days before I leave to go back to Beijing and I hope that every day goes by slower... and the when I arrive, I'll blizzard again. I don't think that will happen, but oh well :D

The 2010 ATP season has started today with the ATP 250 events of Brisbane, Chennai and Doha. Federer and Nadal have both signed up into the 32 man draw in Doha where they may meet in the final if they both go undefeated.

Meanwhile in the Abu Dhabi tournament, Nadal defeated Swede rival Robin Sodering to capture this 6 man exhibition tournament that was held in Abu Dhabi.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great 2010 and I'll cya later :P

Hello

Hey there, January 2nd.... already?

Had a bbq with friends today and...it was tasty

so yeah, can't believe that 2009 is over!!!!!!!

Anyway, have fun in winter... or summer wherever you are :D
