Jemput 3@Three@Pokok@Tree ??

d-Entrance

It’s been a while since d-last time me n other bitches went out for dinner at d-heart of Penang Island . So, when Islah suggested having a dinner at JemputThree, we promptly nod n agreed.


We had a problem to get there as Islah sorta forgot d-way to get there. But it didn’t take us long n we arrived around 9 stg n just as I tot earlier, it’s not Jemputthree it is Jemput Tree.


If you happen to drive down “d-not-known’ road, I bet, u wud not notice d-existence of d-JemputTree as d-place was kinda “hidden” in plain sight.


Anyway, Jemput Tree (jemput = come), as d-name itself suggested, d-owner of d-restaurant must have loved nature or it cud be just for d-sake of catchy names. I dunno, but d-moment I heard d-name, it sorta like a magnet which drew my attention to know more or at least, it wud make u wonder for a sec. So, as I step out of d-car, d-restaurant is surrounded with huge trees and shrubs. Like I said, u won’t noticed d-place unless someone who has been there come with u n show it to u. Duhh….d-owner shud hv done stg with d-exterior.


from our shelter

As I stepped into d-Jemputree (correct spelling), instantly, I liked d-ambience, it’s so cosy n romantic. They had a nice hut-like sitting. Of all d-hut-like sitting, we headed to d-wooden tree hut. Very nice one n we were very excited as we climbed up d-stairs to reach upstairs.

Well, d-table n everything was nice n we had to sit cross-legged on d-wooden floor. In fact, u can lie on ur back if u wanted to.

I had pasta-Polo Funghi


Amzar n Pitt had d-same dishes

Anyway, d-food was just okay, not that bad or very 2x tasty either. N d-pricing also, just okay. All in all, we had a nice dinner outing.

Nadal buried Federrer's dream


Nadal celebrates right after beating Federer

Yeah...it just happened less than 20 hours. I watched d-final match and didn't really expect who's gonna win. However, 99% of me really wanna c Federer to beat Nadal n if he were to beat Nadal, he wud have broken Pete Sampras's 14th Grand Slam title n that's his goal. Who doesn't want to break someone's record, I mean, Hello...u cud have ur name carved or printed in d-Guinness Book World of Record. Errrr...not really break d-record cos if Federer had won d-Australia open, he wud hv a chance to equal Sampras's record only as he already hv 13 titles.

during d-award ceremony


Anyway, from d-start of d-match, Nadal had shown pretty impressive performance n he's quite aggresive. For a moment, I tot he cudn't return d-ball but I was wrong as he hit d-ball hardly n returned d-ball diagonally towards Federer. One thing that I like bout his backhand skill is, he manage to return d-ball in a very strange yet hard to return-it-back angle. I'm very impress with that. In fact, I watched in awe as he doing his stuff on d-court yesterday. He's really fought tooth and nail. Oh yeah bear in mind, a day or two days before he had to play 5 hours n 14 minutes before kicking out his friend/David Cup's team-mate, Fernando Verdasco.

On d-other hand, Federer as always looking calm despite of his mission to beat Nadal in order to get his 14th Grand Slam title. If I were him, I wud hv, at least, had a tension-filled face on me. But of cos, we must remain and act calm n swiftly especially in situation like this where we had to predict our opponents next step and so on.

Last nite match, Federer had many aces against Nadal but it was offset with his unforced error. Eventough his backbone skill which is his one-handed backhand had won him in 2nd n 4th set, unfortunately, in 5th set it didn't work. It seemed like most of d-balls which he returned it back with his famous one-handed backhand didn't give any miracle results.

So, as a result, Nadal won n beats Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-2.


he's so disappointed

Oh yah, according to my friend, during d-prize ceremony, Federer was sobbing. I didn't watch d-match until d-giving prize ceremony so I didn't really hv d-idea how it looks. But I can tell how much it means for him to win d-match.
