Tennis


For this year’s Australian Open, Rafa’s outfit has changed a lot from the usual. He now has sleeves on his shirt and his shorts are shorter than before. Also the colors lime green, blue, red, and white, don’t really match, but I really like it! :) It looks cool. And the shot below of Nadal’s slice is super cool.

Today started out kind of slow. Most of the day was spent fixing defects, but we’ve made a lot of progress today. Yippie! As I was running the flow tests, people were gathering around my desk. It was kind of fun with everyone there. It also made me realize how small my cubicle is.. haha. The project I’m on is really fun right now. I have a lot of responsibilities and people come to me for help. Although sometimes I don’t have enough time, I still try to help everybody. Also, I like my team lead. Even though I met him a year ago, I’ve only started to be friendly with him. Looking back, I was really reserved at work. I used to feel that work is all work and I was always serious and always afraid I might mess up. Now, I’ve relaxed more and getting to know everyone on my team. It’s a lot more fulfilling!

Yesterday was Bryant’s (my brother) first day of working as an intern at my same company. He says he gets sleepy and tired at work. It’s probably because he hasn’t gotten used to the long work days. I remember when I started, I thought it was unfair that people have to work so many hours per week. It’s something that just needs getting used to. After work today, we played tennis with some of my tennis-playing coworkers. It was fun.

Also, after getting back from tennis, I gave my old car to Bryant. I’m a little sad to part with the ‘99 camry, since I’ve drove it for 4 years and spent much time researching and fixing the multiple problems it’s had. I hope Bryant takes good care of it. Still I really like my new car! It’s my first new one, so it’s a big deal, right? :)

This last Saturday, I went to see the semifinal singles and final doubles matches of the SAP open in San Jose. Roddick won the singles and the Bryan brothers won the doubles (as expected). I can’t believe this was my first time watching a professional tennis match. I took a lot of pictures… people may have been able to guess it was my first time. :) I couldn’t get any great pictures though since I wasn’t sitting very close. The boys tennis club from Cal Poly went also and they were shown on the big screen. Then I realized that my brother, Bryant, said he was going to go too. But it turns out he didn’t. Anywho, this was a great deal for two tennis matches.
