I was so happy Justin Henin won yesterday, won another 40bucks. So far so good, I haven't lost in tennis betting yet, prob thanks to the fact that tennis as a sport itself has integrity unlike football which is so kelong, sometimes you never know when the favourites can be upset by the underdogs.

I will be going to Hong Kong this month, a last chance to really unwind myself before the next semester starts. According to my seniors, next sem is the hardest sem in my four yr course so I have to brace myself for a lot of sweat and effort.

Yesterday I made a trip down to SGH to donate blood platelets. It is a two hour process in which blood is sucked out from my veins to extract the platelets and then pumped back into my veins. There is a total of six cycles and as much as I pride myself on being brave, seeing my blood sucked out and pumped into the packets next to me did make me feel a bit nauseous. It was an enlightening experience though especially when the nurse thanked me for stepping forward to donate. I took some photos of my blood transfer but would rather not post it. Speaking of which, I got a new phone, Sony Ericsson K618i which my mom gave to me after she sign for the m1 plan. Its a real challenge to adapt to the functions as I have only used Nokia so far.

I finished reading the autobiography of Jonny Wilkinson, for those who don't know who he is, he is the bloke who plays rugby for England and with his last min kick in extra-time, he won them the rugby world cup in 2003. People mainly remember him as a winner but it surprised me when he revealed that in his debut test match for England, he had a lousy game as fly half and England was beaten 76-0, a record trashing. It was a major setback for him which made him cry in the dressing room. But I think it made him mentally tougher after that and also made him strive for perfection in training. He went on to achieve many things later, winning the world cup and sports personality of the year awards. It was an inspiring book for me.

Does anyone have the book written by Salman Rushdie titled "The Satanic Verses", ya I know its banned in Spore but do give me a buzz if positive.
