9/24/2007 11:39:00 AM Hello again! I hope you enjoyed Erryn's doodle while I settled back into my routine. I had an amazing trip to Moscow, although I swear unless people get around in the metro, I don't know how they get to work on time. 總之是很棒的一次旅程。 I sometimes wondered why my team looks more exhausted after a tournament than I do, but boy, do I know now! It is so nerve wrecking watching from that bench. From heat flashes to trying to sit the same way if we are on a winning streak, I learned that it gets pretty exhausting! I was wearing a ring on one of my fingers (which I now so regret) and after clapping like a maniac on the first day, I got a terrible bruise underneath the ring.....smart thing would be to take it off but we were up 2-0 so that thing was staying on till it was over! And then since I have the smallest bladder in the world, it was a real challenge sitting in my seat for 2 sets! After the 2nd set, forget it, I was running for my life! 有時會很好奇為啥身邊的人老是比自己還累，這次總算知道了！在場邊看球超緊張的，加上某人根本憋不住，忍著坐兩盤已是天大的挑戰，兩盤之後…要為自己的命狂奔了！ For once I felt like a complete rookie.....from team routines to rituals, it was honestly one of the coolest career experiences. Tennis is such an individual sport and you forget how great it is to be a 'team-mate' for a change. The girls did an amazing job of fighting it out from behind....nothing like a true Russian character! When Sveta asked me to join them for their flag run around, it was the best moment I had this year on a tennis court. All of us represent our country on a daily basis, but representing it in a team environment, in front of a home crowd, is a completely different feeling...pretty difficult to describe with words. Considering that I didn't have any expectations going into the trip, I left with a huge itch to be out there on the court playing and I really can't wait till next year's Fed Cup. 團隊的例行公事跟禮儀都讓自己覺得像新人一樣，但那的確是最酷的體驗了。畢竟網球多數時候都很個人，會讓人忘了身為團隊一份子的美好感覺。大家反敗為勝真是太棒了，整個是俄羅斯魂！！ Sveta要我一起拿國旗繞場時，是今年在網球場上最美好的一刻了。當然大家平常都是代表自己國家出賽，但以團隊氛圍出賽，還在鄉親父老面前打，完全是不同的感受…難以言喻的。考量到我行前根本沒什麼期望，離開時反而帶著強烈的渴望，等不及明年的聯邦盃了！ Biggest debacle of the trip was my Nike autograph session. For a start it took us 2 hours to get there because the police men who are manually changing the light switches tend to fall asleep in the booth and don't change the light for 15 minutes!! Then Nike Russia forgot that at an autograph session should have a table with a chair, and a formed line of people...minor details right? Well it happened to be that all the media and the fans were mixed in together around the store, which left me a bit overwhelmed. I had to go back in the car, and after Max and Erryn worked it out, I was back in. 這趟旅程最大的災難是NIKE的簽名會。一開始就花了兩小時才到，因為手動改交通號誌的警察睡著了，整整十五分鐘都沒換過燈！！然後俄羅斯NIKE忘了簽名會需要桌椅，還有得讓人排好隊…都是小事吼？突然間球迷跟媒體都和在一起了…經過Max跟Erryn的努力才解決。 I also had a really good time in N.Y before my trip. The Peter Som and Michael Kors shows were great....always nice to get a sneak peak at my spring/summer wardrobe...can't wait to order some of the pieces! I got to meet both of the designers and go backstage before the shows which is always one big riot.....models and assistants running around trying to find their place before the show begins. 去俄羅斯前的紐約時裝週也很棒。 You probably also saw me at the men's final......I know I know......according to When Harry Met Sally, there's no such thing as a guy's and girl's friendship....take my word for it, there's nothing more to it than a friendship. I will say it was absolutely amazing being a spectator in that stadium. When you're out there playing you don't realize that all these people around you, are there to watch you perform.....I was getting chills just thinking that I got the chance to hold that trophy in front of them. 你們可能看到我在美網男單決賽出現了…我知道我知道，根據哈利碰上莎莉的說法，男人女人間才沒有什麼純友誼，但接受我說的吧，真的只是朋友而已啦。當觀眾真的是很棒的事情，自己上場打的時候不會感受道圍繞在旁的人們，他們是來看你表現的…光想著我曾有機會在他們面前拿起獎杯都有些令人發寒了。 Oh yes and we went to a karaoke place that night...seems like months ago now! I absolutely love karaoke because I get to pour my Cher heart out and look like a complete fool while at it...good times! 哦對啦，我們那天晚上還去唱歌…感覺好像幾個月前的事了！我真的很愛唱歌，因為我得pour my Cher heart out，看起來像個十足的傻瓜…。 Quote of the week goes to Erryn.....she told me I have more contacts in my phone than Lenscrafters....I agree. I think I have already pointed out before how crazy the prices are in Russia, but can anyone explain a restaurant that puts pieces of Duoublemint Gum with a $500 lunch bill? That one threw us for a loop! Currently in the middle of Harry Potter...trying to take my time as it is the last book.....so sad! For those that like history, Gregory Philips is my new favorite. 最近哈利波特看了一半…仍試著看慢點，畢竟這是最後一本啦。給那些喜歡歷史的人…Gregory Philips是我新的最愛。 And I'm slightly obsessed with Kanye's new Stronger song......The song is 5 minutes long and it takes me about 20 minutes to get to practice....I play it at the start and end of each ride...yep, obsessed! 我有點迷上肯伊威斯特的新歌…五分鐘長的歌，我花了二十分鐘去練習，每次搭車都從開始就播、結束又繼續播…。 Flying tomorrow to see my shoulder doctor again for a check up. I just started serving this week so want to make sure he gives me the heads up to continue. After my career I am going to have an automatic degree in pectoral muscles and the Bursa! Just call me doctor Sharapova! Oh and after this week I might as well become a bio-mechanics specialist on the serve....I have seen more videos of serve motions this week than my entire life-time! Whatever it takes!! 明天又要去看醫生檢查肩膀了。這週才剛開始練習發球，所以想確認他同意我繼續下去。我退休之後應該會自動得到一個胸肌與粘液囊的學位！叫我莎醫生吧！噢噢，本週之後我可能會變成發球生物力學的專家…這禮拜我看了比這輩子還多的發球動作影片了啦！ Not quite sure yet when I will be ready to start but I will keep you updated! ---- 前兩天就有囉，我返鄉沒人貼 Orz 太久沒翻文章，亂七八糟，見諒XD~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.133.99.37 ※ 編輯: jcshie 來自: 220.133.99.37 (09/26 16:18)
