Firstly, I would like to bid farewell to Formal No.1 Tennis player Andre Agassi. He retired from tennis 2 days ago on 3rd September 2006. Born on April 29, 1970. How Agassi got to play tennis is an interesting one. His dad wanted one of his son, which happened to be Andre Agassi, to win all four grand slam. So he used his elder siblings as guinea pigs during coaching. Hahax Cool! When Agassi was in his crib, his dad will hang tennis balls on top of his crib. And when he is on high chair, he gave Agassi with paddles and balloon to play with. When Agassi started playing tennis, his ball collection filled 60 garbage cans with 300 balls per can, and Agassi would hit 3,000-5,000 balls every day. When Andre was five years old, he was already practicing with pros such as Jimmy Connors and Roscoe Tanner. Cool Eh? He turned pro in 1986 (The year Rafal Nadal was born! Wow!!). He played for 20 years substatining ankle injury on the way. Because of that it caused him to lose matches and withdrawing from tournament in 2005 last year. He had a bad start this year losing matches too. Till finally on 3rd September 2006, Agassi's tennis career came to an end. By the way... Dont you think Andre Agassi looked abit like Collin Farrell? Hahax
Secondly I wan to give my condolence to Steve Irwin also known as the Cocodile Hunter. Born 22 February 1962 in Essendon, Victoria, Australia. He died 4 September 2006 near Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia. He was killed by a Bull Stingray while filming. He was swiming above the stingray when it stung his heart and killed him... Well on the bright side he died in the country he was born... Hahax He was actually filming for his daugther Bindi. She was feature in the filming and if i'm not wrong she was the host for the show. Although I think its a bit weird he go around doing documentary bout all kinds of animals from reptile to birds and all... And sometimes I dont see no crocodile. Yet he is called the crocodile hunter... But still I must admit that his animal handling looks cool and rather professional and humourous. I must say! I kinda enjoy his show and at times I watch the show in my school during breaks or sometime skip class to watch inside my SC room. Hahax
Lastly, I wanna go watch TV already so see yah! Thanks for droping bye. Do tag! =D
