After a day with my famous friends, I just found myself taking the tube to Wimbledon @ 18:00 yesterday. Yeah, a bit late but I remember that at 9 in the evening, live games are still shown in the tele. At first, plan was to be there at 8 am but, because of dull weather in the morning and my intolerable sleepy head (and Prakash’ as well), it didn’t push through. Sunshine just suddenly smiled which, made me jumped out from bed and head to London. Since, I haven’t had dinner or a cup of tea or coffee with my Mareng Drew, Jen and other prominent friends, I pay a visit to Madame Tussauds.
Anyway, in the afternoon, I finally convinced Prakash to watch Wimbledon. I really wanted to feel the adrenaline in that place. We got there before 19:00 and surprisingly, there was still queue. Mainly because, Nadal is going to play (that was what I heard from this girl who guided us) and tickets are cheaper after 5. We got our ticket for only 14 quid to get inside Wimbledon and managed to get a resale Centre Court ticket for only 5 pounds. Revenues go to the charity by the way. Absolutely, great deal! Because, these tickets normally cost a fortune!!! Well, at least for me, 50-80 pounds. Damn!!! I wonder how much the tickets would cost next weekend for the championship, I bet it would cost an earth!
I’m not really into tennis to be frank. However, I enjoyed every moment of it, the stillness when one player is about to serve and the yelling when one player scored. Nadal vs. Kiefer, the match that I relished the most!!! Being in the centre court is unreservedly one of a heck experience for me! Now, I clearly understand why people don’t mind paying for high-priced tickets.
And uhmmmm... the big wave, I almost forgot. It was a continuous wave with loud noises from the crowd. FUN! FUNN! FUNnnnnnn!
