I haven't posted much here, as I have been quite the busy person lately. Shouldn't be calling it lately as I'm halfway through my postgrad program, but meh.<br /><br />Soooo....I'll still be keeping this blog, though I foresee that this will only hold the year-end music countdowns (something I've kept (though not in blog form) since the late 90s). Which reminds me, that should be in a month's time. <br /><br />See you guys at TVAY, it's a listing of pocket itineraries for the business traveler, or for that has no time and would like to modularise his/her trips.monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-89087076061675762882011-03-04T00:54:00.006+08:002011-03-04T01:12:10.662+08:00China and Japan, Heads Up!Similar to what I did in 2007, I'm running a poll where you decide where I will be heading for a vacation. I've already booked Korea this year, plus pending trips to Indonesia, India, and wherever our team meeting will be in Europe. I'm no longer counting Singapore, Malaysia since I never do anything there anyway.<br /><br />So. The last poll ended with Brisbane winning over Hobart (Queensland vs Tasmania). This time, the poll is China vs Japan. My friend's miles are expiring, and I'd like to use it. I've been to both, spending almost a month in each in total.<br /><br />Option 1: Japan in January 2012. <br /><br />The thing with Japan, is I spent almost a month there during Hanami and generally did the major highlights. However, since it's my favourite country to visit, why not do it all over again. The planned itinerary is:<br /><br />Kyoto for 2 days (no shortage of temples to visit there), skiing, and a visit to Ghibli Museum (missed it the last time). Sapporo up north or Hiroshima down south is an excursion option.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnu7R73l5l1YrhHiCJLYHbPqnr7lCGJuJpNtlhyVq81zI4yNxkzkZHYoXYdIrfpSyvk8-wkwAx-3gzDlHoW3fw5Cqrx0VJ_5_8blfzKzGY5FQiUkq0ldKiA_ApoNPO8nh2qapcA/s1600/IMG_8885.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnu7R73l5l1YrhHiCJLYHbPqnr7lCGJuJpNtlhyVq81zI4yNxkzkZHYoXYdIrfpSyvk8-wkwAx-3gzDlHoW3fw5Cqrx0VJ_5_8blfzKzGY5FQiUkq0ldKiA_ApoNPO8nh2qapcA/s320/IMG_1371.JPG" border="0" alt="The crowds in Tokyo is a sight in itself"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579899929241801202" /></a><br /><br /><br />Option2: China sometime in 2011.<br /><br />Xian has always been on my list, pity that I didn't have the time during my last visit. So, time to work on that. Though the terracotta army is not really on my list of things to see, I might as well. <br /><br />My itinerary will be a short Beijing-Xian-Chengde.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsoIJoa2wPI13MlGoccajb-bJnsSB0lHVXPC_p-xlDbfvnMHSj1lxVf6dZwl84CU2WHiVgCgtaLt1dLto1L2sij1nO0SWfNXaA7uCHIhF7Hlu2Uh3Cs-HrUUJZadGn-586PQF3Bw/s1600/IMG_1371.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsoIJoa2wPI13MlGoccajb-bJnsSB0lHVXPC_p-xlDbfvnMHSj1lxVf6dZwl84CU2WHiVgCgtaLt1dLto1L2sij1nO0SWfNXaA7uCHIhF7Hlu2Uh3Cs-HrUUJZadGn-586PQF3Bw/s320/IMG_8885.JPG" border="0" alt="Traditional temples contend for architectural attention in Beijing"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579899936683856530" /></a><br /><br /><br />So, what will it be?

I can't believe that it's been 3 years already since I got to wander around Melbourne Park, and the landscape (of players) has changed immensely.<br /><br />Just in case you haven't noticed. The ladies have been stealing the show all week in Melbourne: From Caroline's interview candor, Fran & Svetlana's epic match, Kim's dominance, and even Andrea's little jig. What Serena, you weren't there? I think we already forgot.<br /><br /><strong>Men's QF</strong><br />Nadal vs Ferrer<br />Dolgopolov vs Murray<br />Berdych vs Djokovic<br />Wawrinka vs Federer<br /><br />Really nothing to worry for Nadal's SF spot, until he runs into Murray. That should be an interesting Friday match, too bad I'll miss it! Murray is in fine form, with no troubles winning a set, and so has been Nadal. We'll see how that goes.<br /><br />I'll also miss out on the Federer-Djokovic showdown (no thank you night classes!). Hope Federer wins, but rooting for Djokovic. I want a new winner to Aussie Open 2011, but wins by the top 3 players are also welcome. <br /><br /><strong>Women's QF</strong><br />Caroline vs Francesca<br />Na vs Andrea<br />Agnieszka vs Kim<br />Petra vs Vera<br /><br />At least by this time, we already know that a new Queen in Melbourne will be crowned Saturday. It would be a vindicating one for Caroline, a long-overdue one for Kim, a geographically-appropriate (and political statement) one for Na, and a surprise for the rest. My guess is a Na-Kim for the most Korean-sounding final in Melbourne.monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-12036788195354218932010-12-30T16:38:00.001+08:002010-12-30T16:41:48.339+08:00#2 Forever and Ever, Amen by The DrumsThe CS Manila Edition!<br /><br /><object id="vp1dmSf9" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1293698240&f=dmSf9X4vtMT1R0zfwWxkkg&d=267&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed id="vp1dmSf9" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1293698240&f=dmSf9X4vtMT1R0zfwWxkkg&d=267&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object>monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-34583525454327980282010-12-10T08:34:00.003+08:002010-12-10T08:41:08.484+08:00The 2010 Music ListYeah, well so I haven't been blogging; but I'm not letting such a tradition be broken.

Wait - let me just clear the cobwebs from this blog. There.<br /><br />Yep, I'm alive. I've got several excuses (travel, work, no internet, zombie invasion, you know the drill), but none of it matters now. I've seen the deliriously good <em>Inception</em> by Christopher Nolan, and it is now confirmed: He is my favorite movie director.<br /><br /><br />As previously tweeted, Inception is the movie to see this summer: an arresting panorama of visuals, a sensational ensemble (always a gathering of acting heavyweights), but the core of it? A mind-blowing script. Franchise here, reboot there, a trilogy somewhere...it's about time someone came up with a devastatingly novel idea.<br /><br />The idea of Inception is relatively complex, but you'd be surprised on how straightforward the stroytelling is. Then again, halfway through the movie, you realise that you're not there just to watch the film, you're there to <em>admire</em> it. It's like an elegantly dancing Rubik's cube or an infinitely changing Mandelbrot (forgive the nerd in me). However way you splice it, Inception is just intellectually gorgeous, in structure, in delivery, and in conception.<br /><br />And if you look at Nolan's resume, his movies aren't too far off in formula: The reverse storyline coupled with short-term memory loss in <em>Memento</em>, one-upmanship and the (for lack of a better word) prestige in <em>The Prestige</em>, and the beautifully organised chaos in The Joker's mind in <em>The Dark Knight</em>. Where M Night has grabbed our attention in The Sixth Sense yet failed to deliver in consistency, Nolan has soared and kept on improving his craft.<br /><br /><br />Oh here's something not so original - remember that hotel fight scene with JGL? Though it's a definite shoo-in for MTV's Best Fight Award, I've seen it before. It's about time someone use this idea from 12 years ago!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500107843710478610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="Best Fight!

I don't even remember doing this for the Australian Open. I didn't even have enough time to write about that Japan trip, back-to-back summer shenanigans, but tennis. Yes, you, you've been nice to me, so time to pay back.<br /><br /><strong>Women's Quarterfinals</strong><br /><br /><em>Serena vs Sam</em><br />It's easy to go with Serena, here, but were talking clay. Apart from the fact that Slammin Sammy held her nerve to take out Henin in three sets. If this turns out to be a serving duel like what happened in Melbourne in January, this is a Serena show. I'm counting on the clay to boost Sam's chances, so I'll give it 3 sets, for an upset.<br /><br /><em>Yaroslava vs Jelena</em><br />Roland Garros is usually a good platform for surprise quarterfinalists, but hopefully this only becomes as a springboard for Shvedova. It was a convincing with for Jankovic over Hantuchova, and I really hope she pulls herself together, because to be honest, she is a contender for this title, apart from the fact that this may be the surface where she has the best chance to do so. Straight sets for the Serbian golden retriever (I'm talking about her game).<br /><br /><em>Francesca vs Caroline</em><br />While Caroline is a solid baseliner and can probably has more in the tank to propel herself to the semis, I'm a bit wary of the Italian veteran. She's got the skills, the guile, and the physique to see her through. 3 sets for Francesca?<br /><br /><em>Elena vs Nadia</em><br />A battle of veterans, is most likely going to be a battle of headcases as well. Rooting for Nadia, she's been doing well at the slams, but she defeated Venus with much conviction at the previous round. Having said that, a SF for Elena (or a probable final) isn't as bad as well. I'll go straight sets for Petrova.<br /><br /><strong>Semis and Final</strong><br />Long shot but hey, Jelena over Petrova in the final.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=petrova.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="GS final. Headcase no more!" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/th_petrova.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=jankovic.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 293px; HEIGHT: 387px" height="680" alt="Maiden slam? Hopefully so. I hope she fixed her serve just in time." src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/jankovic.jpg" width="389" border="0" /></a><br /><br />------------------<br /><br /><strong>Men's Quarterfinals</strong><br /><br /><em>Federer vs Soderling</em><br />Tricky call this one. Apart from Federer and Nadal, no one has looked more daunting than Soderling. He's out to prove that his historical upset last year was no fluke, so, and he attempts to score another monumental upset this year. I would think that pity Sod, he could actually go deeper in the draw, but not with Federer polishiong his 14 straight win over the Swede.<br /><br /><em>Youzhny vs Berdych</em><br />Finally, a good GS showing for the tall Czech! It's been a genial claycourt season for him, but as always, it's been a mixed bag of results for him. Which provides no help in calling out this match. But this should be a good 5-set duel on Lenglen.<br /><br /><em>Melzer vs Djokovic</em><br />Again, Djokovic has been considered the sleeper hit in Paris. While the Roger-Rafa rivalry has been reignited, Nole has been quietly living up to his seeding, and nothing more. The draw gods have opened up his quuarter fairly well, and that should boost his chances if he wants to get past Nadal in the succeeding round. Good serving, and even better scrambling from the Serb should earn him a 3-set pass to the semis.<br /><br /><em>Almagro vs Nadal</em><br />Last time this happened, I thought it was going to be a good match. Almagro went home with three breadsticks that day. With the way Nadal has been dominating the red dirt all over Europe, don't expect anything to change this time around.<br /><br /><strong>Semis and Final</strong><br />This will mark Roger's 2819th straight GS final. Yes, we know. However, look at that mouthwatering Semis between Nole and Rafa. Friday night lights showdown! I'll catch that after class, and better be a good one.<br /><br />Suunday, will be a rematch of 2008, but don't expect the result of 2009. It would be nice for Roger to claim (and retain) the Coupe de Mousquetaires at the expense of Nadal, but most unlikely. Sure hope I'm wrong (I love vendettas), but Nadal is king on clay, and with those knees running full steam ahead, there's no stopping the Spanish juggernaut for his 5th crown.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=federer-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Not this year..Wimbledon next?" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/th_federer-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=nadal-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 415px; HEIGHT: 266px" height="426" alt="King once again" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/nadal-2.jpg" width="595" border="0" /></a>monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-72703447143439567272010-04-04T12:18:00.001+08:002010-04-04T12:20:27.789+08:00Manila Summer Scramble 2010This May.

This year's vacation is has been aurally brought to you by the BBC Sound of 2010 (see previous article below) plus some old goodies.<br /><br />Recommended tracks for your summer listening pleasure:<br />1. Let's Go Surfing, Saddest Summer, and I Felt Stupid by <strong>The Drums</strong>.<br />2. I'll Hold My Breath, Under The Sheets, and Your Biggest Mistake by <strong>Ellie Goulding</strong><br />3. Fireflies, Hot Air Balloon, and Vanilla Twilight by <strong>Owl City</strong> (just saw the concert before I left - an excellent way to spend a warm summer evening)<br />4. Giving Up The Gun, Run, Cousins by <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong><br />5. Mountains, Bubbles and Many of Horror by <strong>Biffy Clyro</strong><br />6. Remain, Doubt and Red Lights by <strong>Delphic</strong><br />7. And I played pop hits from Jay-Z/ Alicia Keys, 5ive, Lady Gaga (featuring Marilyn Manson! Who knew that a collaboration might actually exist!), and Dominos by The Big Pink.<br /><br />So that completes my summer soundtrack for 2010. As a parting shot, here's the happiest tune of them all for this year. To the basement people, so many surprises await you!<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LLK4oaXUuLg&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LLK4oaXUuLg&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-21624294161349715682010-03-31T23:36:00.004+08:002010-03-31T23:41:07.788+08:00Where Have The Days Gone?!Crap - I may be travelling a bit too much for my own good. I ended with Paris, and forgot about the rest. Anyway, I'll just put it down as a summary: Belgium was nice, quick and lovely, but I still don't know what's the deal with the Manneken Pis. Though I miss those waffles though.<br /><br />Then I went to the Netherlands. Delft is a great city! And Amsterdam had the prettiest girls in all of Europe - and that's not even counting the ones by the windows. Suffice to say, my most enjoyed moment was Amsterdam, and couldn't wipe that smile off my face for two straight days. Good thing I don't have to blog about it, it may not be print worthy, wink wink.<br /><br />So...why have things been quiet the past month? Japan, baby! On the next update though.monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-80170299494580099282010-02-28T16:25:00.002+08:002010-02-28T16:30:45.744+08:00Ahhhh, Paris.Yes, Paris aka the City of Lights, but more popularly known as the City of Love is over rated. When you're there, it's feels "just all right", but perhaps it's me expecting to be overwhelmed by grandeur and culture.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=paris-tuileries.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 373px; HEIGHT: 169px" height="375" alt="Barren Tuileries in autumn still looks lovely." src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/paris-tuileries.jpg" width="555" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Maybe I guess I was spoiled being incognito in Asia, deadpanned in London, but I was harrased the moment I got out of Gare du Nord. I was still adjusting my bearings when someonone tried to sell me Metro tickets, even if I insisted on getting them from the booth. Moreover, I got caught between the Metro gates (totally my fault). Good thing my friend Marc lived near a Metro station, I didn't have to walk too much with my luggage. Running across St. Pancras and back with 40kg of luggage is not to be repeated again.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=paris-montmartre.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 534px; HEIGHT: 195px" height="195" alt="Montmartre, seen from Centre Georges Pompidou" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/paris-montmartre.jpg" width="596" border="0" /></a><br /><br />But having said that, it cannot be denied that Paris is gorgeous. Eiffel Tower is inspiring, both up close and at a distance, the subways are filled with performers and streets are littered with art. The photos are amazing, if I do say so myself, and it's definitely an experience to spend a week in Paris. So scratch that first paragraph I wrote.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=paris-cdg.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 325px; HEIGHT: 204px" height="553" alt="Arc de Triomphe, the largest roudnabout in the world!" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/paris-cdg.jpg" width="513" border="0" /></a>monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-30257521978106259312010-02-24T20:41:00.004+08:002010-02-24T21:29:26.328+08:00A Halloween Pub CrawlSo, where was I? Before getting interrupted by Aussie Open and holiday season, I was talking about how awesome London was. On top of the freebie museums, I happened to be there on Halloween, where people took it seriously. Plenty of Joker (Heath Ledger version 2008) and zombie wannabes, so I joined in the fun with some fake blood.<br /><br />On top of celebrating Halloween, we did it Pub Crawl Style! No better way to enjoy 31 Oct than this; wait, we were the 2nd most fun activity that night in all of London, next to Halloween Costume Pub Crawl in Roller Blades, which I saw on the way to the pub.<br /><br />So, nothing wrong with runner-up, but before I sound like one of those paid up PR schmaltz on the newspapers, I'll just post some photos instead.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwc1xH6P-HwNYfn-BYqnVnhtUdnG0cRKe7DOtULlL3rHiAIPxfzzBCWiY2JRRQF7ZWK-BbT9Pkfxf9Dy6yqb-4u5mOoXZoLzw2nEhO-MF_3weWKe6RSWMIEWjpUrKLfEQztvc3Q/s1600-h/DSC02337.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441796470285532098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwc1xH6P-HwNYfn-BYqnVnhtUdnG0cRKe7DOtULlL3rHiAIPxfzzBCWiY2JRRQF7ZWK-BbT9Pkfxf9Dy6yqb-4u5mOoXZoLzw2nEhO-MF_3weWKe6RSWMIEWjpUrKLfEQztvc3Q/s320/DSC02337.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Deric!

But my, 2010 is shaping to be quite a busy year, and we're just in the first 20 days of it. Missed out on the prediction from the get go, but here's what I got right: breakthroughs for Vika, Marin and Jie; and what I did not get right: Kim's demolition, and Sharapova's flameout. Plus, Dementieva's spirited loss against Henin. It's shaping to be an excellent tourney yet again in Australia, so let's get the predictions on.<br /><br /><br /><strong><em>Federer vs Davydenko</em></strong><br />I've never rooted for Davydenko, and I would've cheered for him (tout him as a favorite, even). Tough part of the draw as he meets Federer as early as the QF; this could've been a final, IMO.<br /><br />While Davydenko showed chinks in his armor, Federer upped his game against Hewitt. Sure does pay to know each other's game very well. Same fate lies for Davydenko, but expect a fight. Four sets for Federer.<br /><br /><em><strong>Djokovic vs Tsonga</strong></em><br />Has anyone noticed that no one has noticed Djokovic? He's one of 3 ex-champs here in Melbourne, but all eyes have been on the comeback ladies and the question marks on Nadal (fitness) and Murray (when is that slam coming?). Nole takes on a rematch of his 2008 win against Tsonga, who looked demoralised fending off streaky Almagro in the previous round. A tired Tsonga will bounce his way out of the tournament thanks to a fine straight set win from Djokovic.<br /><br /><em><strong>Roddick vs Cilic</strong></em><br />If I'm going to call an upset, this would be it. While the tall lanky Croat stringed a mature win over US Open champ JMDP, Marin's method was still shaky and unconvincing at some points. Roddick's style has gone from one-sided to consistently explosive, and using maturity now as an added weapon.<br /><br />Both players won their warmup tourneys in Brissy and Chennai, and someone will end his streak here. I call Marin to step up tp the plate, and defeat Roddick by out-acing and out-pacing him. Roddick, now faster than ever will catch up with some of them, but expect those backhand returns to be dealt with pain. Another 5 setter in the works.<br /><br /><em><strong>Murray vs Nadal</strong></em><br /><br />This round's marquee match. A blazing Nadal will square off a bulked-up (yet again) Murray. Will Murray choke (Hopman Cup anyone), or have a repeat of his run to the final? Speed-wise, it's a pretty even match, but for power, the advantage belongs to the Spaniard. I would like to vote Nadal here in 4, but why do I get this sinking feeling that this'll end in straight sets for Andy?<br /><br /><br /><em><strong>Semis and Final</strong></em><br />Federer. Djokovic. Grand Slam semifinal. Didn't we see this before? Yawn. Murray-Cilic? Well that's new. And so is this: Novak will make the finals, and so will Murray. Only because I've been waiting for this matchup for quite a while now. Maiden slam for Murray? Nah, Australia's not really his strongest suit.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=nole.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 363px; HEIGHT: 218px" height="327" alt="Finally!" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/nole.jpg" width="568" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=muzz.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 202px; HEIGHT: 239px" height="239" alt="Why?!?!" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/muzz.jpg" width="215" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />----------------------<br /><br /><em><strong>Serena vs Vika</strong></em><br />This should be an explosive match. Serena is playing untouchable tennis, serving impeccably and demolishingly precise. Vika is a true firecracker, clawing her way out of a big hole to make it to the quarters.<br /><br />We'll see a lot of rallies here, and a side to side wiping of both players. If Azarenka can manage to get past the Serena serve, she'll have a chance (like she did last year, before retiring due to food poisoning). However, from Serena form of late, everyone is just scrambling for that runner-up plate. I say straight sets. If Vika gets past Serena, then it's Azarenka FTW.<br /><br /><em><strong>Na vs Venus</strong></em><br />Venus could've tumbled earlier, but she didn't. Must be the wisdom of maturity that's anchoring her fantastic run in Oz. She never tends to do well here, but I'll give her a shot at the all-Williams clash by getting past China's Na in 3 tight sets.<br /><br /><em><strong>Justine vs Nadia</strong></em><br />With so many people to choose from this quarter, did we really end up with this match up? Drat, should've put my money on Justine instead of Elena for my FL picks.<br />I'd love to see Nadia breakthrough here. Anyone who humiliates the the last GS winner by surrendering only 1 game, deserves some praise. Nadia also took our reigning RG winner Sveta in the previous round. I want to see how that hot streak fares against this Grand Slam episode's comeback queen Justine. I'll vote on the Nadia train for 2 sets; if goes to a third expect Henin to squeak out of that.<br /><br /><br /><em><strong>Jie vs Maria</strong></em><br />Wow, who would've thought it. China represent! No ide where this one will go, but I'm hoping that Jie makes a second SF appearance in a Grandslam. Besides, it's the slam of the Asia-Pacific; nice to see two Chinese players out there.<br /><br /><br /><strong><em>Semis and Final</em></strong><br />Serena. There's no denying that she's head and shoulders above the pile, and enjoying it. And oh, welcome back Justine. I smell a rivalry revived.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v608/monsterboyy/?action=view&current=serena.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 290px; HEIGHT: 177px" height="350" alt="15 Slams for Roger?

Music To Watch Out For in 2010Now that the rundown of 2009 is over, it's time to look ahead of what we should be looking forward to in 2010, music-wise. I'm a big fan of BBC's Sound Of... series, and judging from last year's list, it's quite obvious. <br /><br />While the Sound of 2010 has stepped away from last year's electro-frenzy (Little Boots, Lady Gaga, Frankmusik), this year's mix is a bit more varied, though still with a bias for synth. You've heard about Two Door Cinema Club, and everyone has been rapt with Owl City, so let's proceed with artists that not a lot of people have heard of yet. From the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8395789.stm">long list of 15,</a> here are my favorites.<br /><br />1. <strong>Stornoway</strong> - This probably fits my kind of alternative. Clever lyrics, hints of folk, and a good ambient sound done live. They should - this ensemble features an ecologist, Russian lit specialist, and trumpets! Looking forward to see more of them this year. <br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UoxFreQqp4Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UoxFreQqp4Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />2. <strong>Elie Goulding</strong> - Winner of the critics' list, radio-friendly and a continuation of the 2009 electro-princess trend. <br />3. <strong>The Drums</strong> - Summer soundtrack, get ready, it's the Beach Boys for Gen Z. <br />4. <strong>Delphic</strong> - This year's version of Temper Trap, or an updated New Order. Less cheery, and darker undertones, but definitely interesting still.<br /><br /><br />Look who's back, they're the follow up albums we might see this year:<br />1. <strong>LCD Soundsystem</strong> - A raving masterpiece that Sound of Silver was. The anthemic All My Friends needs an encore, so welcome back James Murphy.<br /><br />http://lcdsoundsystem.com/main/<br /><br />2. <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong> - Contra has already been released, and their Africa-tinged melodies are filling the airwaves once more.<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eD6DMu2xL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br />3. <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong> - You got to admit, that FutureSex/Lovesounds album was groundbreaking, and established that JT has talent. Let's see what other tricks he's got on his sleeve. <br />4. <strong>Gorillaz</strong> - It's been quite a while Damon Albarn. Blur reunion take up mnost of your time?monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-80476687588669486732010-01-13T11:22:00.003+08:002010-01-13T11:28:38.525+08:00The Best Tennis Matches Of The AughtsThis is Sports Illustrated's best matches of the past decade. I have been fortunate enough to see 8 of them, and I do agree that they were truly the crowning glory of the sport. A bit of American bias though, Ivanisevic's championship win over Rafter at Wimbledon 2001 should've been here. <br /><br /><br /><strong>1. 2008 Wimbledon men's final </strong><br />Rafael Nadal def. Roger Federer, 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7 <br /><br />Saw this in HK. There was strawberries and cream (thanks Mida!) for the duration of the whole match including rain delays. Phenomenal stuff, saw the crack of dawn to cap off the best match of all time. I probably won't be hearing a lot of disagreements with this one. <br /><br /><strong>2. 2001 U.S. Open men's quarterfinals </strong>Pete Sampras def. Andre Agassi, 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 7-6(2), 7-6(5) <br /><br />Four tiebreaks, and two legends battling it out. A carryover of the 90's, this was to usher in the new age of tennis. <br /><br /><strong>3. 2005 Australian Open men's semifinals </strong><br />Marat Safin def. Roger Federer, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 7-6(6), 9-7 <br /><br />I remember being in a party in BKK, and skipping out to watch this. Further proof that Safin is next to Federer as best natural ball striker out there. During Federer's prime, where no one could come close to his dominance, only one man stood out to steal a hardcourt major from him, the mercurial Marat Safin. <br /><br /><strong>4. 2005 Wimbledon women's final </strong><br />Venus Williams def. Lindsay Davenport, 4-6, 7-6(4), 9-7 <br /><br />Most heartbreaking match on the list. A spectacular 25-shot rally drained the life out of Lindsay costing her the match. <br /><br /><strong>5. 2009 Wimbledon men's final</strong> <br />Roger Federer def. Andy Roddick, 5-7, 7-6(6), 7-6(5), 3-6, 16-14 <br /><br />Almost, almost. By 12-all in the fifth, I was saying 'ridiculous, shades of Aussie 03 again, Andy?". Wimbledon, though not as fan-friendly, never fails to disappoint turning out with the best matches. <br /><br /><strong>6. 2002 Australian Open women's final</strong> <br />Jennifer Capriati def. Martina Hingis, 4-6, 7-6(7), 6-2 <br /><br />The match that transformed me from casual viewer to all-out addict. This will be the last time Hingis will contest a Grand Slam championship. I miss you Martina!<br /><br /><strong>7. 2004 French Open men's first round</strong> <br />Fabrice Santoro def. Arnaud Clement, 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (7-5), 3-6, 16-14 <br /><br />No, I didn't see this, though I probably did see clips of it, since it went on for more than 6 hours and over 2 days. <br /><br /><strong>8. 2006 Rome Masters men's final</strong> <br />Rafael Nadal def. Roger Federer, 6-7(0), 7-6(5), 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(5) <br /><br />No, I don't remember this, but I know I saw it. I wonder why. <br /><br /><strong>9. 2003 U.S. Open women's semifinals</strong> <br />Justine Henin-Hardenne def. Jennifer Capriati, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(4) <br /><br />The match the gave Hawkeye the critical mass to be implemented. JHH was gone by the end of the match, but still able to recompose herself and win the whole thing. <br /><br /><strong>10. 2005 Tennis Masters Cup final</strong> <br />David Nalbandian def. Roger Federer, 6-7(4), 6-7(11), 6-2, 6-1, 7-6(3) <br /><br />Ha, I was at this event! Yey. Though I did not see the final itself as I was in transit, at least I was able to attend most of the tennis. <br /><br /><br />See the match highlights compiled <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/magazine/specials/2000s/12/18/tennis.best.matches.decade/index.html#ixzz0cSQMVcV3">here</a>.monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-50677887961323292042009-12-29T15:26:00.004+08:002010-01-04T08:48:10.152+08:00Best Music List of 2009 Part 2<strong>The Top Ten</strong><br /><br />As previously mentioned, it's an almost all-British affair for the top 10, save for a new act from Melbourne. This list is updated once per day until 2010 comes in.<br /><br />-----------------<br /><br />10. <strong>Athlete - Superhuman Touch</strong><br />Athlete leaves behind its melancholy wares and trades it in for a little playful synthesizer. Their 4th studio album, Black Swan Song, interestingly improves on their already rich discography.<br /><br />9. <strong>Snow Patrol - Set Down Your Glass</strong><br /><blockquote>and I'm shaken, and I'm still<br />when your eyes meet mine, I lose simple skills</blockquote><br />Not an official single per se, but there is something calming, yet disarming about this song. I hope nobody steals this song for his/her wedding, I'm saving this one for mine. <br /><br />8. <strong>Stars - 14 Forever</strong><br /><blockquote>10000 drunken kids on field can't be wrong<br />the song must've been beautiful or they wouldn't sing along</blockquote><br />This one played to my nostalgia of youth and one thing I missed out on: music festivals. Take me to Coachella, Glastonbury, Burning Man! Wish I had done that when I was young though, and as the song says, this song is indeed beautiful.<br /><br />7. <strong>Coldplay - Lovers In Japan</strong><br />This year's most spirited song; totally soaring Coldplay and salvaging an otherwise forgettable album. Brilliant seen live, with paper butterflies.<br /><br />6. <strong>Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition</strong><br />To be honest, the placement of the song in the movie didn't help, but they were fantastic taken independently. Best soundtrack of the year, and this is it's crown offering. <br /><br />5. <strong>Frankmusik - Better Off As 2</strong><br />This year's most deserving new artist, and one of the most played in my walkman. This song tells all the electro-pop ladies that men can sing-dance-remix this genre too. <br /><br />4. <strong>Frankmusik - 3 Little Words</strong><br />A little Tom Hanks tribute in the video, a little ode to A-Ha in the music, and whole lot of 80s lighted the major music trend of 2009. Check out the debut album - it comes in 3 flavors: orginal, remix and acoustic. <br /><br />3. <strong>Johnny Foreigner - Salt, Peppa and Spinderella</strong><br />Rockout/headbang song of the year. Starts quiet, finishes with a bang. Remember being all heady for a night out in town? This is the anthem to start your night right.<br /><br /><strong>2. Snow Patrol - Crack The Shutters</strong><br />The powerful yet comforting voice from Snow Patrol is complemented by their awesome songwriting skills. Here, they paint a heartwarming picture of being in bed, waking up beside the one you love.<br /><br /><strong>1. Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy</strong><br />A gooey beat, a strange electro-shoegaze feel, and an kickass performance seen at Battersea Power Station. Most played and most loved song of the year indeed!monsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12584775.post-21652739376994099922009-12-28T17:53:00.002+08:002009-12-28T18:05:01.419+08:00Best Music List of 2009 Part 1This year has been one of the strongest years in music by a considerable margin. 2009's crop was definitely littered with powerful performances with the following highlights: strong 80s revival, neon techno, and a lot of emphasis on indie and well crafted lyrics. <br /><br />Something in it for everyone, whether it's reliable Athlete or Jack's Mannequin, or emo favorites Dashboard Confessional, pop favorites Katy Perry (heck there's even Lady Gaga on this list!), I'm sure you're going to love this rundown.<br /><br />Top ten recap to be released tomorrow, and let it be known, that no US artist made it to elite status.<br /><br />---------------<br /><br /><br />11 Asher Roth - I Love College<br />12 Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester - Good Girls Go Bad<br />13 Black Eyed Peas - I Got A Feeling<br />14 Owl City - The Saltwater Room<br />15 Florence And The Machine - Dog Days Are Over<br />16 Kids In Glass Houses - Easy Tiger<br />17 Alphabeat - Fascination<br />18 Passion Pit - Little Secrets<br />19 Red Light Company - Arts And Crafts<br />20 Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone<br />21 The Limousines - Very Busy People<br />22 Anberlin - Retrace<br />23 Jack's Mannequin - The Resolution<br />24 Hockey - Song Away<br />25 Pez - The Festival Song<br />26 Dashboard Confessional - Belle Of The Boulevard<br />27 Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream<br />28 Phoenix - 1901<br />29 Just Jack - The Day I Died<br />30 Ladyhawke - Back Of The Van<br />31 La Roux - Bulletproof<br />32 Matt Nathanson - Come On Get Higher<br />33 Kids In Glass Houses - Give Me What I Want<br />34 Jack's Mannequin - Spinning<br />35 Passion Pit - Sleepyhead<br />36 FM Static - Take Me As I Am<br />37 Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas<br />38 Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life<br />39 Phoenix - Lisztomania<br />40 James Morrison - Please Don't Stop The Rain<br />41 The Raveonettes - Last Dance<br />42 All American Rejects - I Wanna<br />43 Little Boots - Remedy<br />44 Army Navy - Silvery Sleds<br />45 Paramore - I Caught Myself<br />46 The Fray - Never Say Never<br />47 We Are Scientists - After Hours<br />48 Athlete - Rubik's Cube<br />49 Train - Hey Soul Sister<br />50 Friendly Fires - Relationships<br />51 Lady Gaga - Just Dance<br />52 Shakira - She Wolf<br />53 Empire Of The Sun - Half Mast<br />54 The Virgins - Rich Girls/Teen Lovers<br />55 Imogen Heap - First Train Home<br />56 Howie Day - Be There<br />57 Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning<br />58 Jesse McCartney featuring Ludacris - How Do You Sleep<br />59 Yeah Yeah Yeah - Zero<br />60 Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Workmonsterboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355533069700063321noreply@blogger.com5
