2014



It has been a long time since I last posted something on my blog. Since I haven’t posted anything here in the year of 2014, it’s probably a great opportunity to talk about myself and the direction of this blog. I don’t think I have introduced myself here. My name is Zhe Xu. (I know it’s hard to pronounce!) I’m a Malaysian, currently studying in the US. The reason I started this blog in 2011 is to share the information I know and to voice out my analyses or opinions towards any issues. I’m a person who loves to talk. So perhaps blogging is the right platform to express my thoughts.

As you can see, I posted a lot of random stuff on my blog since the first day I started blogging. Most of the posts here are heavily related to sports. Some posts related to aviation and aerospace, some related to my personal experiences, and occasionally a few involving politics and government. I would not change much of what I had done here. What I’m looking forward to do this year is to update my blog more frequently. Perhaps some short posts or stories to keep this blog updating.

I’m fully aware that the writings I produced are not the best. But think again, isn’t this the whole aim of blogging? The opportunity to write and learn every day? So, I hope whoever is reading this right now, regardless of which part of the world are you from, will enjoy the information/materials I shared here. Enjoy your reading! Thank You!

Djokovic's Title to Lose

Yes, the stage is set for Novak Djokovic to finally nail that elusive French Open to complete the career grand slam. If he manage to win at Roland Garros this year, he will become the 8th person (4th person in the open era) in the history of tennis to win the career grand slam, joining an elusive list which include Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The world no.1 player seems to manage to find his form that he produced in 2011 when he went on to win three grand slam titles in a single calendar year. This year, victories at Melbourne, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Rome make him a clear favorite to win the French. Among those victories, he has won 4 out of 5 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments and is riding a 22 match unbeaten streak coming into the second major of the year. He is now 35-2 for the season, with the only two lost came in Doha (Lost to Karlovic) and Dubai (Lost to Federer). Djokovic has come clos...

Andy Murray, Not There Yet

Murray's victory at Flushing Meadows ended Britain's 76 years wait for a male Grand Slam winner.  First of all, I would like to congratulate Andy Murray for winning the 2012 US Open, his first grand slam title. Surely he is now a big sporting icon back in Great Britain by ending the country’s 76 years wait for a grand slam male winner. The last Brit to win a grand slam was Fred Perry back in 1936, when he won the US Open in New York. He shows the world his great mental strength since that Wimbledon final set-back. He went on to win the Olympic Gold Medal just exactly one month after that set-back and now his first grand slam title on his favorite hard court surface. His maiden grand slam doesn’t come at an easy cost. He finally wins his first grand slam after four failed attempts. Both Federer and Nadal won their first grand slam title at their very first grand slam final. While Djokovic won his first on his second attempt. He is definitely one of the talent guys on the ...

Tokyo 2020

          It was 5.20am (Tokyo time) on a Sunday morning on September 8 when the announcement of the host city for the 2020 Olympic Games was being made. “The International Olympic Committee has the honor of announcing that the games of the 32nd Olympiad are awarded to the city of Tokyo”. The exact words from outgoing IOC President Jacques Rogge as this will be the last time he’s going to be announcing in front of the camera as the president of IOC. Live scenes from a Tokyo stadium shows a break of joy from the Japanese after the announcement was made, celebrating their winning bid. Tokyo will be the fifth city that is going to host the summer games for more than one time after staging the world’s largest games in 1964.           First, let’s don’t talk about the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in this article. Of all three candidates, Tokyo is indeed the safest choice of all the candidate cities. Japan has a more stable economy c...
