YAY FIVE DAYS TO KL! ZOMG!
I simply can't bring myself to believe that I'll actually be seeing RAFA, Gasquet, Fed and Sampras LIVE in five days! :D :D :D
Note to self: BUY A GOOD CAMERA WHICH HAS CLEAR ZOOM!
That, along with a pair of binoculars, are the staples for this trip. :D Just now, I suddenly remembered the need for binoculars, and bounced into my dad's room to demand if he had any. (otherwise, it's a trip to the store first thing tomorrow morning) After much grumbling and assuring me that we had "very good" seats for Rafa's match and that I would have a "good view" of him, he extracted two binoculars from the cupboard. I went off to the balcony immediately to test if they were in working order, and am embarassed to say that I was peering through the wrong side of it when my dad came and tutted impatiently at my apparent lack of brain. Not my fault, Zhihua took mine! Finally, when I was peering through the correct side, I started squealing and shrieking like a mad person when I found that I could even see the people in the petrol kiosk across the road. Just to be sure, I focused the binos on the tennis court bench, just to be sure that I could see a person sitting on the bench. I estimate that that will be the distance I'll be facing that day. After much shrieking and bemused looks from my dad, who probably thought me insane, I started to happily clean the lens to ensure maximum clarity. :D
I NEED A CAMERA. Mine, or rather my dad's, has horrible zoom. It goes all blurry when zoomed in. Seeing that I definitely don't want blurry pics of Rafa or anyone else (hey I'm fair!), I'll have to get a new one. After much begging on my part, my dad has agreed, although my mum generally does not like the idea. :D But this is once in a lifetime! How often do I get to see such people live! The VIP package for Wimbledon is like 9000 (I think). But they'll get you the best seats, grant you entry to the players' dining area (not very ideal for me, I'd probably get arrested for making excessive noise and disturbing the peace. that's before I expire from over-excitement) and lots of other stuff which I can't remember.
I won't have to worry about getting overly stressed during the match (which I usually do when watching them on tv) cos Rafa has a superb record against Gasquet. He just beat him a few days ago at the Masters Cup, where he just beat Djokovic a few hours ago to get to the semis. Lovely.
FIVE DAYS!
