Have you ever tried 100Plus?! If you haven't then you need to find a local Asian food wholesaler and ask them to order you a crate now. This drink is the elixir of life! I got hooked on this isotonic deliciousness when I lived in Singapore. Not only does it taste like a perfect dream, but it is the ultimate cure for a disgusting hangover or a super sweaty sport workout. Make sure it is ice cold though or you won't get this drink's full amazing rejuvenating powers. 100Plus is totally healthy for you too- my Singaporean doctor recommended that I drink at least a couple of cans a day. Excellent advice.

Unfortunately, when I moved from Singapore back to New Zealand for university it took a couple of years for 100Plus to follow me back. In that time I made the silly, hugely regrettable mistake of converting to Powerade. A couple of years drinking that sugar-overloaded concoction (it is made by Coke so what do you expect) and I had to visit the dentist to get my front teeth capped. The suger had slowly dissolved the enamel off the front of my teeth! That was when I finally tracked down 100Plus to a small Asian food wholesaler. What a huge find that was! I quickly got back on track with my drinking and my teeth were saved from future harm.

I think this quote from the 100Plus website sums up the drink's awesomeness:

"Outdo yourself and go beyond the limits of your mind. 100Plus comes in multiple invigorating flavours besides the ever famous Original taste to zap you for the challenges ahead."

I couldn't have said it better. The 100Plus zap is incredible- right my 100Plus people? Sooo good!

Speaking of zap, right now I'm off to drink my second 100Plus can of the day. Fortunately for me, Dubai was already up to speed with its 100Plus distribution and I didn't have to worry about ordering a shipment from Singapore.

Cheers!

I am so stoked with all the rugby lined up over the next couple of months. There's no better way to spend your Saturdays during the summer in Dubai than watching Tri-Nations rugby with a homemade big breakfast (bacon, eggs, hash browns, tomatoes and mushrooms - my girlfriend is the best!) especially if you're nursing a hangover.

Australia and South Africa are both on form and looking rather dangerous this year. The All Blacks will have to step it up a level if they want to defend their Tri-Nations title this year. I reckon we're up for it. A few key big-game players back in the forwards, a backline looking to prove the critics wrong, and Henry and co. out to prove their worth- Sorted!

First up is Australia this Saturday at Eden Park in Auckland, NZ. Bring it on Aussie!

By the way, if you're interested you can find a full list of the fixtures here.

What an epic final!  Finally Roger Federer has finally beaten Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles.  It's about time too.  Now I can finally switch my allegiance to someone else- I miss cheering for the underdog.  I'm just not sure who yet. 

Don't get me wrong Rog is a pretty cool guy, but only really because he is so awesome at tennis.  He loses his coolness factor quite quickly when he starts losing matches.  I personally think he just takes himself a bit too seriously.  What is up with his specially designed Wimbledon outfits?!  Poncy.  Bring back denim and highlighter pink spandex!  Whatever it is, Rog is just not the same type of classic entertainer that Agassi and Johnny Mac were- guys who had that can't quite describe cool "attitude".  Maybe Rog would find a bit of that "attitude" if he used his trusty Gillette shaver on those flowing brown locks of his- a number two cut would be a good change I reckon.  I do have to say, though at least his match-winning celebrations were much improved this time around.  There was no sign of his classic bury-my-face-in-both-hands-then-collaspe-to-the-ground-and-roll-over move.  There's hope for him yet.

Seriously though- Rog is an amazing athlete and 15 is a huge effort!  Congratulations Rog! 

A friend of mine just found himself his dream bike- a 1986 Bianchi Superleggera.  I love the Bianchi's traditional colour, celeste, and the vintage brown seat.  I'll have to ask my friend how it rides after all these years.  It looks in pretty good nick.
