It’s all about tennis and PC Show. Started with playing tennis on Friday evening, when I snapped my racquet’s (or shd it be racket?) string, and couldn’t really continue. Saturday morning, Eko and I went to Queensway to leave my racket for re-string. I picked a $30 Wilson Enduro 18 string. 
It stated “Engineered for Competition” string, Playability rated at full 10, and Durability rated at 9, hahaha…. 
After lunch at Queensway, we went to Singapore Expo for PC Show, together with Eric and Jejep. Honestly, nothing much there. I only bought a Samsung DVD Writer which Asen’s asked me to buy. He didn’t go there, coz I think he’s busy with his 
After we have left Expo at 4.30 pm, we dropped by Queensway again to pick up my racket, and at night, we all played another session of tennis (again). 
It was also time to test out my new string. Turned out the string was too good that I was not used to it and thus was unable to muster enough accuracy on my shots. My shots were literally flew all over the court. That night, Belgium’s Justine Henin-Hardenne won her second Roland Garros title by devastating France’s Mary Pierce 6-1, 6-1 in the French Open final.
Sunday was as usual, went to church, dinner at Queenstown before going back home. At night, somehow I managed to reach home at 8.30+ pm, just nice to play another session of tennis. This time, I started to get the hang of my new racket’s string, and as my flatmates suggested, now I hit the ball much better, be it forehand, backhand, serve, or slices, you name it, haaa…. 
Although, “better” is relative to myself, it could still mean “very poor” in good player’s standard, hahaha… Sunday night was Men’s French Open final when Spanish teen Rafael Nadal capped an amazing fortnight by overcoming a game Mariano Puerta 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-1, 7-5 to win the his first Roland Garros men’s title.
Lastly, something not so usual on Sunday, when my sister finally delivered her first baby, Kylie Feodorea Chan, on Sunday 5th June 2005 – 9.30 AM Jakarta time, into this world. Congrats sis … now, let’s see when I can find a flight back to Jakarta to visit my first niece, hahaha…
