		<description>belleza, you bet I watched the whole match! Roger Federer has rewritten history once again - the only guy to win 2 GS 5 times in a row!! He is truly the most sublime tennis player ever, no matter what the rankings say.  What&#039;s greater is that he&#039;s also a humble, classy and gracious champion! :)

LOL! UK&#039;s genius wanker.....you know, many people thought it was going to be a 5 set tooth and nail brawl. But it was quite the opposite, total domination from Federer! Yep, Federer just about destroyed Murray&#039;s soul by the end of the 2nd set and he romped through the 3rd set easily (in fact Murray almost got bageled but I think Federer just took some crazy shots then to let him off. heh!). Federer just made Murray look so tame in the entire match coz he wasn&#039;t able to adapt to Federer&#039;s faster pace of play, compared to Nadal&#039;s.  Federer shot out like a canon in the first set and Murray just couldn&#039;t catch up. Murray also seemed to have a problem with his knees in the 2nd set....not sure, he kept touching his legs...but even if Murray is totally fit, Federer would&#039;ve stepped up his level of play and crushed him anyhow bcoz Federer clearly played the superior game. It&#039;s a sight to behold when The Fed is in his element. :)

This win will shut up those idiotic media who&#039;ve written Federer off, at least for awhile. All is well in the universe once again, the King of Tennis is ALIVE and WELL.  *celebrates with swiss chocolate and a glass of champagne* :)</description>

		<description>Ahhh, universe has been restored.  Federer is once again Godlike, and Murray&#039;s returned into UK&#039;s genius wanker.   

Actually Felicity, did you watch the match?  It ran during our job time in this part of the woods.  Was Murray just out of gas, or did Federer just destroy his soul?</description>

		<description>&quot;Hahaha. If Murray makes it past Nadal tomorrow, he will be practically DEAD TIRED for Monday’s final. 

The Djokovic-Federer semi was a lot of fun. And at times, he played the beautiful tennis that only he is capable of playing. One more Fed, just one more!!&quot;

Murray played a phenomenal match against Nadal, and he still seems so energetic at the end. On the other hand, Nadal looked a bit worn out there.... lol.  I&#039;m glad Andy won coz I&#039;ve had enough of those commentators going on and on about Rafa&#039;s achievement in 2008 &quot;winning Roland Garros, Wimby, Olympic Gold and going for his 3rd straight GS blah blah..&quot;  *_*  This ends Nadal&#039;s winning streak, good! 

For the Finals between Federer vs Murray,  I&#039;ll be satisfied with whoever wins if they both play the match of their lives (but of course I&#039;ll be much, MUCH happier to see Federer lift the USO trophy once again, hahaha! It&#039;ll restore the order to the universe). Murray will be a GS winner sooner or later, if he keeps up this level of play. But this USO should belong to Federer, ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!  It&#039;ll be an exciting match. Win or lose this USO final, Federer&#039;s still GOAT. :D Go, Federer GO!!  :) :)</description>

		<description>Its not Indian summer. Indian summer is what feels like summer in fall and its not officially fall yet.

I can say one of the things I do well is cook. I&#039;m not a great Korean cook but I&#039;m a much better non-korean cook mainly fusion or italian foods.  I have been working on  kimchi risotto with coddled egg.

Not sure if he is vapid or not. She doesn&#039;t seem like she is a tori spelling for instance but I can vouch that MLP is a great stage actress. I saw her in Proof and she was fantastic.</description>

		<description>@ginnie &quot; need to have apartment mates like you…so I don’t need to go grocery shopping. LOL. I regard grocery shopping as an errand. Very mundane one. I wish I can cultivate this love for pushing a trolley through the supermarket and the discoveries etc. =) &quot;

Lol, I need to have apartment mates like you too, coz I&#039;m a terriblely limited cook. If my housemates can to do all the cooking,  I&#039;ll gladly volunteer to do the shopping and cleaning. haha. Truthfully, I can only cook simple dishes, therefore I go for high quality ingredients to make up for it. Like I&#039;ll shop for prime cut of lamb or beef and grill it with expensive steak sauce. etc. Stuff like that. Simple dishes can taste great if the ingredients are good quality. ;-) 

Have a great weekend everyone! :)</description>

		<description>Felicity: 
&quot;See, I’m the opposite. I LOVE grocery shopping more than cooking! I find it rather therapeutic pushing a trolley through the supermarket, comparing labels, finding something I’d never thought of buying, discovering a delightful new flavour of ice-cream etc. etc. Shopping for food is a fun activity, when I’m not in a hurry that is. lol&quot;

		<description>I tend to stick with baking, like cheesecake and brownies and the such... Chinese cooking is pretty much a set formula of seasoning (depending on your taste) and then stir-fry. At least the veggie bits are, I haven&#039;t gotten around to actually touching meat yet. Tofu salad ftw!!

&lt;i&gt;Plus my mind is on ‘Twilight’ lately… got bitten by the vampires of Forks and Stephenie Meyer.
Have you read the book?&lt;/i&gt;
