Weee! We’ve got WII

Last Christmas, I created my very first wish list and although honey wanted to buy the things in the list I didn’t receive from anybody else, I told him not to because I’m really trying to limit myself to the things that we need and not overly indulge in the things that we want.

Over the weekend, one of our friends asked us to go with them while they try to look for the best sofa set to replace the one they currently have. Shopping, (window or otherwise) is a trip I couldn’t bring myself to decline so off we went. Right beside the furniture shop that our friends visited was our favourite electronics shop and saw that they have really great deals on offer. I tagged honey along and entered the shop marvelling at all the wonderful things on sale clenching my fist as I try to use every ounce of self control that I have to keep me from buying those items that I long to have. However, honey got the better of me, pointing out that he received a pleasant surprise from work last week and that there was a storewide offer, which includes one of the items in my wish list, he insisted that he wanted to buy me a present, who am I to argue, so I caved. There inside the Mediamarkt, we finally became owners of this marvellous WII sport pack.



I’m really enthused about this game, I read a lot of wonderful things about it and as I try to explore it, I can say that this will definitely be a part of me and honey’s bonding moment. We already started last Saturday night, we played tennis. Egads, my arms and shoulder were aching after four games with honey and everything was a tie. I also tried the WII fit board and the WII fit program yesterday and I must say that its really good.

If at first I have my doubts about this purchase, now I can truly say that it was a really great buy, this WII. We’re looking forward to fun times ahead.

Broken Hearted

Yesterday afternoon was spent lounging around the TV set. In spite of the rarely, sunny weather, I can’t help but have my eyes fixed on the TV and watch every moment of the Australian Open championship match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. I have to say both are great sports men and equally talented. I was vouching for Federer coz I’m really hoping that he beats Pete Sampras’ record of 14 Grand Slams. Too bad, in the end he lost but it was a well fought game, 5 sets of heart stopping, excellent and dramatic tennis. I can’t help but be teary eyed when Roger Federer, heart broken as he was, started sobbing during the awarding ceremony. However, as always he exhibited grace when defeated. You can tell that both players have a mutual admiration and respect for one another. I also think that Rafael Nadal totally deserved to win, he was precise and quick and really talented. I was also impressed when, after winning, he accepted the award with humility. This match was not as close as last year’s Wimbledon championship match between this two great sports men but it was really a great game.

I still believe that Roger Federer will achieve his goal of breaking Sampras’ record
