holiday

i'm going to chicago again at the end of this month. should be a good trip. another chance to get to know the city, and not just passing through. and i'll be participating the 2006 midwest games at the university of wisconsin in madison, wisconsin. attended my first midwest games in 2004 in purdue university and feels like i have an unfinished business.. i lost in the men's singles tennis final that day. disappointed really. hope to rectify that this time around. and will also be competing in chess.. now this would be interesting! i'd be glad to get some time off from work.

barcelona have won the champions' league after beating arsenal in the final in paris. not even close to being a spectacular match, but the best team in europe in the last year won it. my brother would be ecstatic with this. and it's his birthday today! happy birthday, bro!
