My first Grand Slam!

Yes, my first grand slam was Wimbledon 2010, London. It turned out to be a completely last minute decision and my boss at work was kind enough to approve my last minute leave and so we headed to Southfields by the tube and then a long 2-3km walk to the grounds of Wimbledon. I was watching Wimbledon during my gym sessions, so I try to finish on time everyday at 5pm and follow the matches. I am really pleased that we decided to give it a try and experience Wimbledon. 

It was not easy though, I had to prepare myself mentally and get ready to queue, queue and queue. The Brits love their lines, they just love to queue. On the hand, I was trying to see if there is anyway I could beat the queue but I went there with a Brit so I behaved like what I should. :) I probably spent like at least 4 hours just queuing up on that day! It was day four at Wimbledon and probably not a good day actually because it turned out to be really busy because the Queen decided to pay a visit and cheer for Andy Murray! After 30 odd years she made another appearance in Wimbledon. :) If I had a royal box, I would be sat there every single day. 

I think I will know how to have a better preparation for next year's Wimbledon and try catch Fedex there! :)

The famous Wimbledon queue begins.

Centre Court. This was amazing. I could hardly believe it!

The epic match which wrapped up on that day. Longest tie-break ever: 68-70.

Henman Hill. I see this all the time on telly when I was back in Malaysia or Bermuda. Oh, really awesome atmosphere!

Ticket for No.2 Court after more queues.

Serena Williams singles match. She is really good!

Anyone up for Wimbledon 2011? See you there!

The new Apple iPhone 4G

Hi guys,

Finally after a good few years of waiting, I finally got my hands on the new Apple iPhone 4G!! Don't ask me why I could not get it previously I'd probably take 6 years to explain why but this timing is great this time! After being on a waiting list from Orange for weeks on the 16GB, I was getting frustrated and by mistake and thanks to this really helpful staff in Orange; he said I could get the 32GB model not knowing there was waiting list for this model too. :) Yes, it was quite crazy when Apple first launched the iPhone 4G. Anyway I am very pleased and after much hassle, I got the new 32GB black model. I just wanted the phone, 16 or 32GB it don't matter to me. Absolutely brilliant despite a couple of dropped calls, poor reception at times; yes I still love it very much. I am still waiting for the free bumper from Apple which can only be shipped in September, in the meantime I am using a black fully covered bumper simply because I am quite a clumsy person and I think I should take good care of it since I need it for a good 24months at least on an Orange contract. :) 

I find it extremely useful for someone who cannot read map properly and just pointing me where my current location is and how do I get there next; especially since I am pretty new to London. One of the places I could navigate without a map is Oxford Circus and Bond Street; yes for those who are wondering; I spend a lot of times at the shops and I love shopping! Even Laughton can't figure out where he is or how to get to the next shop when we are down in Oxford Circus; yes by the time he flips out his London A-Z map, I am already halfway to the next shop. It's very handy and I feel like it's my miniature MacBook Pro inside my handbag. :) Absolutely brilliant! 

32GB is probably quite a lot of space for me right now as I do carry my iPod classic with a 120GB with me so, I am not using my iTunes on the phone seems like hard work to keep sync-ing everything and duplicating them. I love the apps and I get 600 minutes talk-time, unlimited texts and 750MB data with a 35 pound monthly contract from Orange. So it is a pretty darn good offer for me!

One could possibly go on and on about the iPhone so I am not going to do that since I am still a relatively new user and not quite familiar with the functions but it does a great job for me. Very handy to take decent pictures if I am too lazy to take the Nikon Slr with me. I am not sure how you guys would rate it but anything from Apple = brilliant! Enjoy guys!
