It Doesn't Get Any Better! Memories of my first baseball game

It's 5pm and Fenway Park is starting to dance!

Jeff and Allie in the queue to get into a pub before the game - seems like an American ritual.

Ericalynn, Jeff and Tara (L to R)... :) I'm the photographer of course...

Emerging from the tunnel at the park!

My first glimpse of the ballpark.


The hallowed Green Monster! Suck up the ball...

Red Sox Nation.

Boston leads the Yankees 1-0 up to the 4th inning... then disaster!

Jonathan Tyler Lester (in the center in red) pitching for the Sox.

The Yankees overturned the deficit to take a 2-1 lead...

a margin that eventually became 4-2 right till the 9th inning. We all thought it was over.

Someone must have told the team I was watching them for the first time (LOL)... but seriously, they contrived a fightback of epic proportions that clearly knocked the wind out of the Yankees.

Dejection transforms into delirium as the crowd began coming alive in electrical fashion.

The Yankees were resilient and forced the game through the 10th and into the 11th inning...


My first taste of what it means for the game to go on and on... who was going to challenge the status quo?

Up stepped Kevin Youlikis to bat, and it was a game-clinching home run! 5-4 to the Sox!

The electronic scoreboard was a pretty sight!

Game, set and match! What a night.

Big Money!

I am very happy today cos Daniel has won himself $150 Amazon gift card. It is like winning "beh sai" in 4D in Singapore. Haha... oops... sorry, this is a bad example.

I declare: Daniel and I don't gamble. Not even during Chinese New Year! It's true! 

He is seriously considering a Kindle 2 because Jason has been telling him how good it is and blah, blah, blah. I am not a book junkie so anything goes. It's his prize and I think he totally deserves a good reward for his effort in his studies. I am just wondering why didn't he think of getting more Gundum siblings? I think I should just shut up in case he habours any thought of getting both. 



Declaration

Okie, for the sake of Daniel, I must post this and make known to whoever is reading our blog: Daniel wasn't the one who was pissed with some egocentric people. It was MOI who couldn't quite let things go. Daniel was, is and will be cool about things. He simply bochap. I seriously think it has to do with his age. He is after all, Cat Y liao. Ok, I shall not be angry anymore. 

PEACE! WORLD PEACE!

Boston Marathon 2009

It's Boston Marathon again. This is THE race that all marathon junkies must take part because it is a very prestigious one. It is not those "today I feel like running" kind of marathons. Entrants must run a qualifying time of a certified marathon. The qualifying time depends on the age of the runners. So, you got to be good to run in this marathon. So, how good is good? Well, the champion for men came in at 2:08:42 and the female champion came in at 2:32:16 for the 42.2km run. How cool is that?

Angry

I am very PISSED OFF now cos I just had an encounter with a very egocentric person. 

I think this is the first time I am venting my anger on the blog. The ugly experience took place 30 minutes ago and not long enough for me to cool down so I need to let off some steam now. 

Why do people always point fingers at others? Why are they always correct and people are always wrong? ARGH!!!!

I AM SO ANGRY!

Longwood

We have always wanted to take some photos at Longwood, one T-stop from Fenway. Now that Daniel has finished his studies, we made a trip there. We are so glad that spring is here and can be everywhere. We love the flowers! 
















This is the best attempt. He looked super unnatural in the rest. Wannabe...
