I wonder how I've been so easily dragged into the whole doctor thing! *shakes head* I blame you Zhihua! I've been somehow coerced into watching the first two episodes of doctor who, both of which I find exceedingly scary (ok fine, not that much), mostly due to the ghost of the skinned stingray streched on a medical board / bitchy trampoline, in rose's words. >< The skin is a human skin! And it pops! And despite being nothing but a piece of SKIN and stretched out like a trampoline, and being like 2000 years old (or is it/she?), cassandra's still the vainest thing I've ever seen. Moisturise me! The third episode promises to be equally scary, if not more, what with dead charles dickens fans coming to life in an auditorium which I swear looks a lot like POTO's opera house! Erik wouldn't be pleased. Tsk. I think Zhihua is now deaf in one ear due to my constant screaming and shrieking throughout the show. Whoops.
Anyway, on a more exciting note, Zhihua and I went out yesterday in between options to Far East, where she insisted on eating the takeaway fish n chips at the Brit food stall, and which I was somehow tempted into buying too, despite the lose-weight regime my mum has set out for me (no fish n chips, chocolate and chicken pies, and half an hour of tennis everyday!). So we sat on benches eating and happily discussing (well at least I was) my future career as a ballgirl. XD Then we went off to borders at Zhihua's request (she wanted to check out books on the latest tenant *cough pun* in her very roomy heart), but wound up checking out stuff on Rafa instead. You can tell very obviously who started it. Actually we were checking out this harry potter calendar at first, with a picture for every week of the year, and which I was very tempted to buy. They had this LOVELY picture of a young snape reading a book under a tree, and HE LOOKED SO FREAKING CUTE! I was like, "I can't believe Lily actually chose this idiot (points at pic of James) over this, this, uh, FINE person (flips back to pic of snape)!". I was very tempted to rip out that page or at least take a pic of it with my handphone, but decided against it eventually.
Then we wandered over to the magazine section, where I was extremely delighted to discover a tennis magazine! I mean, this is really rare! Unlike soccer, which got a 22-page special in the sports section just because EPL was starting, tennis rarely gets even a full page to itself. The longest tennis article I ever saw in the news was probably the one which discussed the Roger-Rafa rivalry, which was almost a full page long, I think. So imagine my delight when I saw the magazine! (I might add that if they ever had a 22-page special on tennis, I might just faint with delight) I immediately proceeded to drag Zhihua over to that section, ignoring her feeble protests and mumblings about wanting to check out her book. I started flipping through it delightedly and was positively agog when I saw the pics of Rafa. Zhihua was like, "Yinfei, don't beat book. Don't tear book. Don't kiss book!" Anyway, I was pleased to find that Zhihua agreed with me that Djokovic looked a lot like Mr Toh, something which I have been saying ever since I set eyes on him. And Zhihua thinks he's nerdy! *whoops* Then I showed her Marat Safin, Zhimin's second favourite guy, and Zhihua commented that she did not like his hair. But his hair's seriously much better than last time, when it was closely shaved to his head. At least now he's got that curl. I like the curl. XD And he's gotten rid of the freaking beard and moustache, thank goodness. No beards, unless you're Lancelot. XD Oh, and Zhihua thinks Andy Murray's shuai. Well, he's British. And she disagrees with Zhimin that Kolya looks ano.
Anyway, after lots of fangirling and squealing, I finally realized that we were seriously running late. So, back to school. Sigh. I WANT TO BUY THAT TENNIS MAG!
