Unexpected Tennis Fever

Feb 06, 2009 21:22

I was caught up with the tennis fever (yes, literally, because we had that freaky heatwave) that captivated Melbourne. I am not a tennis fan, I am not even a sports fan. But strangely, I'm game to watch anything as long as there are people sitting beside me, and they're able to explain what's going on during certain intervals.

So, I sorta 'fell in love' with Roger Federer when I saw him play. No, I didn't go "kyaa" or anything. I just naturally felt supportive of him. No idea why, seriously! But anyway, it turned out that he was touted the best player ever in tennis (such claims are always oh-so-dramatic!). But there is no doubt that he is a very, very good player. Well, who am I to say anyway? I'm just regurgitating what I learnt from the commentators and Wikipedia. Hoho.

Anyway, without knowing much about tennis, I will be following his career from now on. Strange that Tennis no Oujisama (Prince of Tennis) didn't make such a big impact on me, especially since I was so mad about it, and even followed Tenimyu (Tennis no Oujisama Musicals). What? You didn't know there were musicals from anime series? Well, surely you jest! Yeah, real life people cosplaying and singing and having fun on stage, performing to a crowd of crazy kyaaing fangirls. Now that's what I call a career!

I digress.



Oh be still, my raging fujoshi heart!
Too much yaoi has done irreversible damage to my brain.
