SETTING GOALS

Wow !!!

Aly’s turning 30 this weekend … it’s a huge turning point in your life.

Terry recently turned 30 as well.

Me ? … I turned 30 a couple of years back and it just makes you think about how your life has progressed … how there were things you wanted to do but didn’t get to because you didn’t have enough time … no money … no one to do it with … so many excuses … so little done !

The next big one for me is 40 … and I’m NOT gonna let it happen again !!!

So … what do I wanna do before I’m 40 ?

Here’s my to do list …

- Go watch a Manchester United match at Old Trafford
- Go to ALL the Grand Slam tournaments i.e. Australian, French, Wimbledon and US
- Go to the Grammys … and the Oscars
- Act in a Hollywood movie
- Rock it out at Wembley
- Get a Grammy with my band
- Play tennis with Pete Sampras and Roger Federer
- Go to the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt
- Go skiing in the Alps
- Explore Europe for a year
- Own a BMW

Let’s see … I’m 33 now … fast approaching my 34th … that’s 6 years !!!

What do you think ? … can I make it in time ?

I have to try …

What else do you think I need in my list ?

TENNIS IS COMING TO TOWN

There’s so much tennis to be seen LIVE in Malaysia in the next couple of weeks !!!

At the end of the US Open (where Nadal completed his career slam) … I thought … OK … that’s it for the next couple of months and for a tennis junkie like me … I kinda get tennis withdrawal. Of course you get the end-of-year Championships where only Slam winners, Masters winners and high achievers get to play but that’s far off still !!!

But I gotta give kudos to event organizers in Malaysia for bringing in some tennis legends to our shores … Boris Becker, Ivan Lendl, Goran Ivanisevic, Pat Cash, Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova will be coming down for the Showdown Of Champions “A Night Of Aces” and the best part is … I get to emcee the event AND … I get to meet Anna !!! … oh the things I need to ask her !

But that’s not all … the Malaysian Open is coming around again !!! The top players on the ATP will be coming down to pick-up as many points (and the cash prize) to qualify for the year ending Championships.

If you’re a TRUE tennis fan … I hope you’ve been tuning in to Red FM cos we’ve been giving away passes to the Showdown of Champions and I will see you there ! Bring your memorabilia for the stars to sign … and you know what I really wanna try ?

I wanna try to return one of Goran’s serve … he was (after all) the Ace Machine !!!

I think this is gonna be an annual event … so which champ would you like to see make it to our shores ?

Oh tennis … tennis everywhere !!!
