Roger Federer in Doha!

Mr.Federer sir! I'm a BIG (but tiny in size) fan!! can you sign my diaper puhlisss?


In a glimpse, we caught a sight of the famous tennis master, RF; serving, back-handling his opponent as smart and smooth as he always is. Myra was over joy to be among the super-cite fan screaming on top of her lungs just outside of the court, but wait!... that's no Roger! it's the next best thing!! Mr. AI, the super dad! so she call out daddy! daddy! while they were intense for a break point ;)
It was great when we finally got the chance to join some of hubby's colleagues to play tennis (why do i still think that i'm part of the company even after 3 months of SAHM-ing and after 1 year of resignation from AJE? kompiusss) . I've always love tennis, but oddly enuff, not as an audience, but as a player. I can't recall my last swing with the racket... dunno if i still got it. Back in the Uni days, tennis to me is like a compulsory leisure. I played almost every sangap-day.. But I could never play in front of a crowd, even for small numbers of audience, sifat malu yang sangat tinggi buat daye konsentrasiku merudum jatuh! hahaha.. so i said. But i think it is kinda true. I've played better without rules, with no competition, but when it come to tournament, memang kompem tak bleh menang- except mase buat double mix with Mr. D4n1r; die power, so saye tumpang menang la.. haha.. yang lain2, sure sipi2 je nak menang, then last minute i somehow will sabotaj my own strength to continue.. can't figure out why.. ingat lagi time high school, i was about to be Kulim's champion, fought against someone yang i could easily kalahkan with one swing, tapi entahla nape tak menang.. saje jeee.. maybe takde rezeki.. ahaks. Talking about Kulim, remind me of the very first reason why i started tennis-ing. Had a major crush on some senior at my school, he was the best tennis player there, in fact of the state too. He was all macho and tall (kunun die jela idola paling best time tu.. kakaka kelaka (aiseh, kantoila rehsieku ngan budak maktab! kikiki...dont care anymore peeps! it was centuries ago!). ). From then on, me and few of my girl friends start to main main belajar, and then fell in love with it. Oh well, thanks to him, at least now i can play a lil bit of tennis, tade la teruk sangat, hiks.
Note: Hunny, if you are reading this, don't worry.. it was only a stupid highschool crush, meant nothing, you are now my roger federer at heart, my only one..hiks~~

Tadi anyway, i didn't get to play, but Myra Sharapova did. She sure got some talent there.. a natural player ;) She even understand that, in tennis, the ball have to pass the net onto the next court side. Quite smart for an almost two year old aite? So, what she did, she pick up the ball and throw it across- because lets face it, she's too tiny to swing the racket! so what she did was quite brilliant! hehe don't worry my dear.. soon you'll get to swing it across! ;)

That's Myra and her tiny lil racket - kunun2 swinging ..

I hope cite-cite daddy Myra nak tengok myra main tahap propesinel akan tercapai someday, insyaallah.. just that, mommy is a lil bit worried, coz if you play outdoor tennis often enough, u'll get too tanned a.k.a itam! hehehehe.. anyway, here's more of her shots (not taken with SLR, so please ignore the goyangans ;)

Next week, daddy said we gonna go again, but this time all the three of us can play! And Mommy and Myra can buy that pink racket we eyed on earlier! yay!

tips for tennis; you hafta hold the racket dengan care yang betul (at the bottom of the handle-with the racket line facing your target- susah sket nak explain in writing..hehe) then swing with ur whole arm! Insyaallah kene! hehehe
