He did it!!

Lucky for me, I was able to catch Andy's finals match against Mahut live last night on Star Sports. He did it! He won!


Hopefully this'll be the start of his winning streak :D


Hopefully also, his winning the Artois Championship would also help my luck.


It's only the 2nd week of class and already I'm feeling (not beginning ah) the pressure.

Of forehands and backhands

NEWSFLASH.

Andy just won his way to the finals of the Stella Artois Championship. I am soooo proud of him. I have been watching play in that tourney for years, 6 to be exact. :) He got kicked out of the French Open on its first round, so it's nice to see him with his head held up high and into the finals. Although in a span of 2 weeks, he dropped from 3rd in the world to 5th, his game seemingly improved. Go Andy! Wimbys start on the 26th. I hope he breezes through the grand slam and ends up with the title. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Summer's over and I'm onto my last year in college. Classes started last Wednesday, and what was said to us during the orientation completely left me overwhelmed and aghast. Ma'am Chua said that we have to finish all our cases before the end of the 1st semester. Hello? I've only had 1 actual and 1 assisted delivery, when we need 5 of each; 4 major and 2 minor surgeries, when we need 5 of each (again); I lost the paper containing all my cord cases, and finally, NO initial care. How can I complete all of those when I have thesis to take care of, RLE duty to stress with, classes to worry about, and very little time to accomplish everything?

It's only the beginning of the academic year, yet I'm seriously screaming for help. Waaaaah!

I know I can do this. Positive thinking, Dindin.

On a lighter note, I ended my summer vacation with a bang! We go to HK every year so this really shouldn't be a big deal, but it was a big deal! We had so much fun! I went to HK with my family (plus Ria and Mig, her brother), and had a fab time! I seriously enjoyed every minute of it, except for the drama that happened on our third night there. My family and I stayed at the Disney's Hollywood Hotel on our first night and transferred to Marco Polo Gateway thereafter. We did some serious shopping. :) Weeeeh! Ria and Mig stayed at Excelsior and Mandarin, which are both on HK island, but we were together every day. We totally loved the shops in Granville, Cameron and of course, Castle Peak in Lai Chi Kok. Ria! We have to go back! :) Also, Ria and I got new cameras, which we so love. *sigh* I can't believe this happened only last week! Aaaaaah!!



I watched Ocean's 13 last week. Have you seen it? I was totally smitten by George Clooney. Brad Pitt was hot, but not as hot as George Clooney. Hmmm. I have to look for my ER dvds. :)

I'm seriously gonna make things right this time. This is my last chance to do good in school, and I'm going to really work hard. Promise. I know this is the beginning of a very long year, but I can and will survive. I am a fighter and a survivor, and I'm really really gonna work my butt off this year.
