Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling on your threads and
Breaking yourself up
If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything
Everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric
(Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling
(Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric
(Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
(Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine

Are the things that make you blow
(Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it's just the fault
(Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

wimbledon gentlemen's singles finals

Nadal nicks title after five-set thriller

and so Nadal has finally (and unfortunately) managed to dethrone Federer to become the new Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles champion.

and well, certainly, i am quite sad and disappointed that Federer lost, but really, they both played well, and Nadal is a deserving winner. at least Federer did put up a strong fight, coming back from 2 sets down.

so congratulations to the King of Clay and newly-crowned Prince of Grass. Federer's still the King of Grass in my opinion; you can't discount his five Wimbledon titles. haha

still, Federer's got my unwavering support any day. and Safin too. (:

just wanted to say...

what a comeback by Federer! yay. (:

he was down 4-6, 4-6 and went to level 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (10-8). and really, tie-breakers are the bomb. they keep you on the edge of your seat man.

well, it's undoubtedly an exciting Gentlemen's Singles finals. xD

wimbledon ladies' singles finals

Venus flies to fifth title

it wasn't quite the finals i had hoped for. but i must admit that from the tight finals match and awesome play by the two Williams sisters, they did deserve each other in the finals. well, congratulations to Venus Williams, arguably the queen of grass. (:

and she has a chance to do a Davenport in Wimbledon 1999, where she took home both the singles and doubles titles. we'll just have to see soon enough.

anyway, tmr will see a showdown between the Men's No. 1 and No. 2 seeds for the Gentlemen's Singles title. will Federer triumph at the lawns of Wimbledon as the undisputed king of grass for the sixth consecutive time, or will Nadal cause an upset? we'll find out tmr. yep.

and...

wimbledon quarters

and so the lawns of Wimbledon is set for the quarterfinals:

Gentlemen's Singles
Roger Federer (1) vs Mario Ancic
Marat Safin vs Feliciano Lopez (31)
Rainer Schuettler vs Arnaud Clement
Andy Murray (12) vs Rafael Nadal (2)

Ladies' Singles
Jie Zheng vs Nicole Vaidisova (18)
Agnieszka Radwanska (14) vs Serena Williams (6)
Elena Dementieva (5) vs Nadia Petrova (21)
Venus Williams (7) vs Tamarine Tanasugarn

and yeah, Jelena Jankovic was knocked out as well by Tamarine Tanasugarn, and Svetlana Kuznetsova by Agnieszka Radwanska. so effectively, the top four ladies have already been eliminated before the quarters. which is quite a huge upset to say the least. but it's really heartening to see two Asians in the final eight of such a major tennis championship (arguably the most pretigious), so well done Jie Zheng and Tanasugarn.

anyway, so now, it's Dementieva for the win! (: well, she's really pretty and good on the court as well. actually, i'm fine with anything as long as none of the Williams takes home the title. xD

and for the Men's, i'm all for Safin and Federer.

alright, time to watch the Women's quarters.
