Can anyone tell me...

...where I can find a guinea pig that looks like Darwin? I'd like to own one.

I always thought the cute furry animals in G-Force were hamsters. I even thought of the name for it - Hamy. After googling the difference between guinea pigs and hamsters, I would still prefer a guinea pig. But the problem is, after reading this, I need to get them in pairs. Dop!

The finale

On Sunday morning itself at 2am, S attempted to book tickets to the Proton Malaysia Open. We wanted the silver tickets but it was sold out. So we decided to get the tickets at the stadium itself.

We were so lucky when a couple approached us if we wanted tickets and they will silver! First row somemore. And we didn't have to pay the extra 10 bucks to book online.

Freebie fan...

Tecnifibre dampener... love the triangle shape... fits my Fischer well... can't get it in Malaysia... worth the 10 bucks...

Used balls for 10 bucks a can... what a bargain...

Congrats Davydenko... you can certainly fly...

Ride to eat or eat to ride?

Our first route out from the housing area. Follow the orange dots from A to B. Went to KFC in Kota Damansara to get supper. About 5 km in 1hr 30 mins. Haha i know it's slow. The walk way was not bike friendly - high curbs at junctions. Had to keep getting off and on. I'll try to stay on the road next time.

Proton Malaysian Open, Kuala Lumpur 2009

There was a free admission for the first two days of the tournament. We thought it would be packed because it's free!

But... one side of the centre court was completely empty...

And... it wasn't as interesting as watching tennis on tv... if you see the scores on the news you'll understand why... after watching a set of Rohan Bopanna of India beating Balakrishnan Kanagarai 6-2, we moved to court 1. The match between Si Yew Ming and Mariusz Fyrstenberg was much better.

After a set, we moved back to centre court again... Michael Yani vs Stephen Huss... more interesting to watch westerners play...

But we left shortly... the previous sets we watched were like sleeping pills...

Did I mention the courts were fully air-conditioned? Hehe at least something...

My first bike

Will write more when I ride...

"Friend" Part II

S took me to lunch the whole week. Now I don't mind him calling me friend do I?

"Friend" Part I

During lunch today S receives a phonecall and somewhere in the middle of the conversation this came out...

S: I'm having lunch with "somebody".

I was cool having S call me "somebody".

After the phonecall...

S: Can you help me email something out when you're in office? There's something wrong with the internet in my office.
J: OK.

S passes me a thumbdrive. And his phone rings again. From the same person. And somewhere in the middle of the conversation this came out...

S: No problem I can meet you later. I already got my "friend" to help me with something I needed to do.

Minutes later...

J: Did you just call me your friend?

I gave S back his thumbdrive and told him to ask his "friend" to help him not without a mad and raised sarcastic tone. The rest is history, even his explanation is. The damage is done.
