It’s time to get some exercise!

Yeah, Australia Open Grand Slam is being held now at Melbourne Park.

We joined the crowd to watch the match of Stanislas Wawrinka VS Gael Monfils. Initially hubby wanted to watch Roger Federer who was playing in the afternoon but I had to work so we settled for the night match. It wasn’t a bad game though...

Since we arrived earlier we wandered around the stadium. See the crowd!

Last year’s champions!

2.5 hours later…

Stanislas Wawrinka won the match with some amazing backhand shots.

The 2^nd match of the night was Venus Williams VS Germany's Andrea Petkovic. Unfortunately Venus retired injured just after one game. L Too bad, wasted our tickets.

Well, talking about the tennis, hubby is a fan of Roger Federer and has been watching him since 2003 and he is absolutely devastated to see the end of his era. However, we will go and watch him at the French Open in May if he decides to play on. =)

Linkin Park Concert 13/12/10

Before writing this post, I checked in my blog when was the last time I went to a concert. And… it was back in Dec 2009! I am a lil bit surprise that it’s been nearly a year since the last concert but it seems like not long ago. Time flies…

Pardon me with the pictures as we were not allowed to bring a big camera into the stadium. Wtf! Luckily I was smart enough to bring along my small camera with me. =D Hence the quality of the pictures here which were taken in low light are not too good.

Show started...

Time to say Goodbye...

This would be my last post of the year 2010.

I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

See you guys in year 2011.

Footy Match @ MCG Stadium

Australian football is the most popular sports in Melbourne. This sport is different with soccer. Ok, let me brief you what Australian Football is all about.

It is a sport that played outdoors between 2 teams of 18 players and 4 interchange players. It is located on a large oval-shaped grass field with 4 posts and a prolate spheroid shape of ball. The method of this game is by kicking or handballing and running with the ball. To score goals for the game, the players need to kick the ball between the middle 2 posts of the opposing goal.

I never got a chance to visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which is located in Yarra Park, it is largest stadium in Australia. Plus, I’ve never watch footy game since I came here. I was lucky to receive 2 tickets from my manager for the Melbourne VS Western Bulldogs match at the MCG Corporate Suite!!! Hubby was tagged along with me to the match. =)

Before the match, they served some light dinner for the guests. They were so yum!

The stadium, huge right?

The match was about to start... the players need to run through the big banner. I supposed this is their culture of the game.

My tired face after work… behind me is my manager and her husband discussing about the scores. ^_^

2 hours later...

Match finished! The winner team is Western Bulldogs.

We didn’t place any bets but the company has gave everyone of us one free bet and I won $7 on that bet! Hehe… I know it is not much but at least there’s something right? =P

We strolled around at the 2nd level to snap some nearer shot at the stadium.

End this post with a picture of me standing in the middle of the stadium seats! =D
