March 2014

Today is the second day of March 2014. Perhaps it’s the best time to talk about what I’m looking forward in this month. 


In sports, it’s perhaps the return of Formula One on March 16 in Melbourne, Australia. I’m seriously hoping for a good season this year and hopefully, no more Vettel domination. Perhaps this is the main reason I have been away from Formula One for such a long time. Apart from 2012 (I think so!) which Alonso gives a strong challenge to Vettel, for the most of the 4 straight world champions years, he pretty much dominated everybody in the field. I’m no expert in Formula One and certainly in designing high-speed vehicles, but why can’t other teams (I mean not even one team) come up with a better car design and specification to challenge the Red Bull team for the title? Hopefully this year will be a competitive year. The other thing that stands out in Formula One is the return of Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari. Together with Fernando Alonso, Ferrari certainly have the best drivers in the field and hopefully this is strong enough to defeat Vettel.


The other thing I’m looking forward is the series finale of the long-standing sitcom How I Met Your Mother that will finally end on March 31. After this disappointing season 9, I just hope things will wrap up in a good way. If you are one of the guys like me that followed the show closely, we already knew who the mother is. With the season currently proceeding with Robin and Barney’s wedding (The longest wedding in the world!), let’s just hope Ted will actually be able to meet his true love on March 31. I’m really hoping for a final twist in the remaining episodes that will give me an unexpected ending! (But with the way the season has been preceding, I’m seriously lowering my expectations)

My 2014 World Cup Team of the Tournament

It's the end of the World Cup season, the time to look back at this year’s tournament. So, here is my 2014 World Cup Team of the Tournament. I elect to go for a 3-5-2 formation, which is formation that got the results for teams like Netherlands, Mexico, and Costa Rica who did well at this year’s tournament. GK: Manuel Neuer (Germany) He’s definitely one of the best goalkeepers right now. A well-deserved Golden Glove award to add to his resume. Neuer has the skills and intelligence that most goalkeepers in the world doesn’t possesed. The awareness to know when to come out from his line to make those saves. The sharpness to make incredible saves and the good ball distribution technique that help facilitate the German team. CB: Mats Hummels (Germany) He’s definitely one of the world’s best defenders right now and the performance he put on in this World Cup certainly justified that. He is a guy that is able to able to contribute defensively and offensively for the team, scori...

May 2014

May, the start of the wonderful and warm summer season for countries in the northern hemisphere. But right at the start of the month, it’s always the period where you are dealing with your final exam including me. So, I will try to wrap up things as fast as possible. But still there are many thoughts inside my brain forcing their way out of my mind. It all starts right now…….. The start of the summer movie season! I’m not sure why, but there are really not many movies I’m looking forward too. Not to say there are no good movies out there. Spiderman, Transformers, and X-Men will all hit the screen this summer. If there’s one movie I’m looking forward of all these famous franchise movies, I must say it’s the new Transformers movie - Transformers: Age of Extinction. We will see a new cast, a brand new storyline which pretty much not really related to the first three films, and not to forget the introduction of Dinobots to the current Autobots and Decepticons. The UEFA Champion...

2014 US Open Predictions

We are just exactly a week away from the last major of the year, the US Open happening in New York. It’s time to make some predictions for this year’s tournament.  * A wildcard pick which is for a player that might surprise us at this year’s tournament whom is still in search for the first major of their career. Men’s Singles Champion: Novak Djokovic (Serbia) I gave a long thought on who’s the favorite to win the men’s title. I know he’s not the player in form following early round exits at Toronto and Cincinnati. But when it comes to grand slam tournaments, he’s the most consistent player over the past few years and his record at the US Open is certainly impressive. He had made at least a semi-final appearance at Flushing Meadows since 2007. Wildcard: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France) The victory at Toronto will definitely be a confidence boost for the Frenchman. Just his only second ATP 1000 series title victory since 2008, this could be the turning point of his career. His ...
