Lemme give you a lesson on how to classify cousins. Apparently I got this wrong. I thought a 1st cousin is your aunt/uncle's son/daughther, and 2nd meant the child of that 1st cousin, and 3rd meant the child of the 2nd cousin, or something like that.

IT IS NOT!!!!!

Here's the correct version:

1)If we share grandparents but have different parents we are first cousins

2)If we share great grandparents but have different grandparents we are second cousins

3)If we share great-great grandparents but have different great grandparents we are third cousins

So on and so forth.... And when it involves the child of the cousin,

1)My first cousin's child and I are first cousins once removed (one generation difference between us)

2)My first cousin's grandchild and I are first cousins twice removed (two generations difference between us)

There you go! No more confusion involved.

Watched the Wimbeldon Finals on sunday from 11.30pm to 4.30am, and all I can say is WHY NADAL WIN!!!! I mean the Rafa of course deserves it. They fought for like more than 4 hours. Anybody in that situation would be like mentally dead. And it was clear the Federer was kinda losing it.

But still... WHY NADAL WIN!!!!!

It left me thinking though. Nadal is like 22, and he has already had so many accomplishments, and here I am, at 21, with erm.... nothing (or rather something substantial)? It isn't to say that we all should live to just accomplish something, something substantial, something pple will go WOW with. People are definitely gonna tell me "why must you try and be like them blah blah blah, they are sportsmen blah blah" or something to that effect.

What I am trying to put through is more of a feeling of inadequacy, stemming from my inferiority complex I suppose. Of course I am happy with the current state of my life (go on, you can roll your eyes), but this life needs something more. New stuff. New things to learn.

Which is good, since I can see my life starting to take a new direction. In the sense of learning new stuff. Take for instance diving, which I never thought I would take. Time to learn new skills when life is still young.

I am looking forward to going on this new direction with my life.

And yes, I have an interest in tennis. Since I was young, the only 2 sports I have ever liked/found interesting were swimming and tennis. SO, with this new direction, I have started to play tennis, gonna learn tennis, and hopefully become proficient with it.

I think I am a tennis prodigy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The lies I tell myself.

The current state of history/biography books in our major bookstores is APPALLING! Like hello! Why on earth would I wanna read bout the biographies of useless rockstars/soccer players/singers etc etc. LIKE HELLO!!! I dun wanna read bout such stuff!!!

I wanna read bout Kings and Queens, Emperors and Empresses of Europe, Russia, Denmark! Like where are the bloody books on these people! And all the books on Russia are on Stalin and Lenin, Nicholas II and Alexandra..... Like I know these pple are important, but where's the stuff on previous Tzars?!

DUN HAVE LEI!!!!! T_T

Finally had to settle on a book on Marie Antoinette. And thank god, its a total page turner. Phew~

Ok I am just ranting, only weirdos like me read such stuff. Heh.
