Tabloid Special!! WAGs line-up!

Now that the world-famous WAGs have packed their branded bags and gone home, I've decided to do my own WAGs feature. No, not the French, Italian, German and Portuguese WAGs who remain at the World Cup, even though some of them are really gorgeous.

Tennis WAGs.

I suppose there must be tabloids somewhere out there which care about the tennis WAGs but I don't recall reading of them behaving outrageously or whatever, although I'm sure they can have wardrobes full of Gucci and Prada if they choose to.

Here are some of them.

The tennis-player WAGs of tennis players:

Top left-Mrs Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, herself a holder of many Grand Slam titles

Bottom-Miroslava Vavrinec, Roger Federer's girlfriend, who used to play on the pro circuit, too

Right-I was surprised to learn that Radek Stepanek's girlfriend is Martina Hingis!

The glamorous ones who could give the soccer WAGs a run for their money:


Top left-Rebecca Cartwright, Australian soap actress, Lleyton Hewitt's wife

Bottom-Camille Nevier, French model, Marcos Baghdatis' girlfriend (pic from here)

Right-Patricia Bartret, model, Juan Carlos Ferrero's girlfriend (picture from here)

And... the loveliest of the lot (I think)... Guillermo Coria's wife, Carla (pic from here):

Even Nadal and Andy Murray have recently turned up with girlfriends in their players' boxes. I can't find nice pictures of their 18-year-old girlfriends. Anyway, 18-year-old girlfriends should stay away from the media spotlight for as long as they can help it. Interestingly, Kimberly Sears, Murray's girlfriend (and daughter of Daniela Hantuchova's coach - you see how everyone is related to everyone??) declined to be made over into a 'pro' WAG a la Coleen McLoughlin (Wayne Rooney's girlfriend). Smart. 18-year-olds should finish their A levels, and whatever it is they do in Spain, first.

On the topic of Nadal (pic from his website) and Murray (pic from Wimbledon website), I think Murray needs some beefing up. He's half Nadal's size. But, to his credit, he did manage to overcome Andy Roddick's high-powered serves, despite his slim frame.
And speaking of tabloids, I saw the section in today's ST entitled 'Inside scoop from ST correspondents'. With great expectations, I read 'Expect Mahathir-Abdullah spat to go on for some time'. Then I read it again. Twice, I asked myself 'Where got inside scoop?'

I read the other articles in the section: 'Yudhoyono's political future linked to state of the economy' (Ya, like, we didn't know that), 'China-India ties growing but many obstacles in the way' (Is this supposed to be ground-breaking news or what??) and 'Thaksin's latest high-stakes gamble', and I'm afraid I did not find any 'inside scoop' there either.

Talk about misleading titles.

A lesson in love

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. -Mother Teresa Most of the time my eyes just glaze over when I see article upon article of football news. One caught my glazing eye over the weekend, though - 'De la Cruz - Mother Theresa in boots' , because of the familiar name. Mother Teresa, that is. It was the first time I’d ever heard of this de la Cruz guy, an EPL player who hails from Ecuador (GNI per capita US$2,630; as a comparison, Singapore’s is US$27, 490 – source: BBC country profiles ). His is a great story to illustrate that famous Chinese saying about not forgetting your roots. According to the article, ‘Each month a proportion of that salary (about S$150,000) Reading pay him - be it 10 per cent in January or 20 per cent in February - goes direct to the village’ (where he grew up). (Picture and profile from here ) Here's what he has been credited for: 1. 'The 2002 World Cup,' de la Cruz reflects, 'finan

True train school

‘Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.’ How would you like to have such a headmaster? I finally re-read (read it first as a teenager) Totto-chan, The Little Girl at the Window , a ‘school story’ by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton. Totto-chan is the name Tesuko Kuroyanagi called herself, and the book is about her life during her school days at Tomoe Gakuen. Totto-chan was expelled from her first elementary school because of her ‘disruptive’ behaviour, which included constantly opening and closing her desk top (because she was so thrilled by it), ‘vandalising’ her desk (because there wasn’t enough space on the piece of paper to draw) and standing by the classroom window waiting for street musicians to pass by or talking to swallows. Her mother, although probably alarmed about the

When the best man doesn't win

Speaking of 'sway' spurned lovers, the latest one I've come across is in Love Revolution ( only 12 episodes!), a J show I recently watched. Heroine of the story is pretty, 30-ish Smart Doctor, who is dying to fall in love and get married. She meets Aspiring Actor and Broadcast Journalist (right). She falls for Broadcast Journalist like a ton of bricks. It's obvious from the start (to the audience but not to her) that Aspiring Actor is nuts about her. But... she has fallen for Broadcast Journalist like a ton of bricks already. No doubt, Smart Doctor and Broadcast Journalist must be given credit for their love that stands the tests of time, separation and misunderstanding, but the one who loves most in the show is undoubtedly Mr Aspiring Actor. What he does/does not do because of his undying love for Smart Doctor: Y does not pursue her at first because he is still struggling to survive in this small-time drama group and he knows he doesn't have much to offer Y resp
