Mental Strength....

Just 2 weeks after the tragic death of Phil Hughes, David Warner steps out into the middle of the first test match and puts on a 100, with Michael Clarke scoring his 50 a short time later....

The Phil Hughes incident was strangely powerful..... whether it was the power of today's media... or because of Phil Hughes' character, but it somehow made so many people sad, including me.... and i dont think he was the best player, or people's most favourite player.... the circumstances of his death, and his cricket career.... which was so up and down, and just as he was back on the up... with this summer of cricket coming up.... it was such an unfortunate event....

for david warner to come and pound on 145 after his week.... well done.

it was such a brilliant innings and im sure it will be remembered by many for many years to come...

congratulations David Warner, RIP Phil Hughes~

FINALLY~~~!!

after 8 series loss in a row... NSW finally got one back~!!

1 in a row!!!!!!!!

Awesome effort from the Blues... two massive defensive efforts~~

and... the bulldogs halves~ Reynolds and Hodkinson~~ just awesome in both matches~

This is the first series that NSW has won since I've started writing this blog.... the first series win since I left sydney in 2005..... =)

the bad news (?) if there is any.... is that now the bulldogs will have to probably go without their halves during this origin period again next year....

after winning 8 matches in a row, the doggies are struggling to win during this origin period...

i've been so lazy with the blogs these days....

new job, newborn, and a whole heap of sports... after the winter olympics... awesome origin series... world cup soccer... commonwealth games, and the asian games in korea... coming up~~

so much to do~~ haha

the next intersection...

a lot of things happening in 2014.... nothing bad~ just turned 30... a little one on the way... and while my mind is just up in the clouds, an opportunity for change in my life has come in the form of employment as well....

its new work in the same industry... to be honest... any new job is going to be a new style of work... unless 30 is the age where one's adaptive skills start fading... i should be alright.... im pretty sure i will be able to adapt~

moving to china, moving to teaching, moving to korea, moving to the IT industry.... i think i've adapted rather well... i wouldnt say i passed with flying colours... but i dont think it was a 'crash and burn' either...

i'll be right~~ there is always going to be priorities... and i think the little one will always be higher on my priority list than employment~

it's going to be a big change... looking forward to it~~ ^^

The Urn is back~ Five-Zip~~!!!

The biggest small trophy in cricket is back in the hands of the aussies~

the ashes series was sealed before xmas.... but i didnt want to jinx the winning momentum, and waited till the 5-0 series whitewash was completed~~ haha

since i left australia after uni... 1) australia never won an ashes series; 2) australia never won the bledisloe cup; 3) NSW never won an origin series....

one down... 2 to go~~ 2014 is going to be different...

however... the downside of the aussies dominating the poms is that... the 5th test was supposed to finish TOMORROW....

so im at work today... and tomorrow.... and i had planned to just watch the cricket both days.... now i gotta find work.... ^^
