Rapunzel Tangled, Narnia, and Tennis Qatar Open

After 3 consecutive weekends spent abroad, this weekend I spent in Qatar.
Thursday night, I drove to Doha and watched Tangled, an animation movie about Rapunzel by Disney. Curious about this movie since I watched their poster during last October visit to US, and after watched the theater in Oxford with Drew.
Well, though the Rapunzel and her extraordinary long hair were the same, the stories between the theater and the Disney movie were quite different. Rapunzel in-future-groom was a prince in the theater, but a thief in the movie. In the theater also there was no healing magic of the hair.
Don't know which one was closer to the original story, never heard about this fairy tale before I watched the theater in Oxford.
Tempted to watch Yallah Asia, a concert event corresponding to AFC Asia Cup, but since Jay didn't show up, I decided to watch my second movie that night, Narnia. Just like Drew said, the movie was not as excited as the first one.
Spent the night at a friend's place, the next day, after lunch with Polish Mike (Apple Bee's steak made me sick!), I watched the tennis tournament, Qatar Exxon Mobile Open. Not really like watching tennis match, but I watched it, still wandering why I watched it. Though for me, a tennis match was normally boring, the 2 semi final matches today were not that boring, with Federer won over French Tsonga, and good looking and sexy Nadal unexpectedly was lost against ugly Russian Davydenko.
During the match between Nadal and Davydenko, most of the audience were supporting Nadal, shouting "Vamos Rafa", and almost nobody was supporting the Russian. I was just wondering, was it because Nadal is good looking and sexy and popular, while Davydenko was ugly and not attractive?! Well, we live in a world that appreciates much one's appearance apparently.

There was unexpected fire works at surrounding between the matches, maybe was for the opening of AFC Asia Cup.
