i've gotta say this yr's olympic games sure are interesting. alot of world records are being broken (mostly in the pool) and the matches are so exciting.

1st, there's Michael Phelps, the guy with those big ears. out of the 8 events he participated, he won a total of 8 gold medals. and if i rmb correctly, he broke 6 world records. it really was super exciting watching him swim. sometimes he gets the lead from the start. other times he catches up at the last minute. if i rmb correctly, it was ytd's match where he won by juz 0.01sec. that was the time dat separated gold from silver. is dat cool or wat~

one of Phelps stronger swim would be the butterfly stroke. this was the match whereby he helped USA to get from 3rd place to 1st during the Men's Relay. by the way, he's the 3rd swimmer. and yes, world record broken~

next in line would be Usain Bolt. a note here: i dunno much abt this guy but i've watched him run the 100m men's final and he's lyk a bolt of lightning. (no pun intended)

the 100m men's final has alot of fast runners with 7 out of 8 having under 10sec timing. i'm not sure Bolt broke the world record during the heats or semi-finals but he did break it at 9.72sec.

and believe it or not, he broke his own world record AGAIN with a timing of 9.69sec. and anyone watching that race would noe dat to him, it was easy as a breeze. from his facial expression, it was as if he's saying, "man, that was easy." so now, he's the fastest man on earth and yea, he helped Jamaica win its 1st gold medal at 100m men's. it was a wonder watching him.

last but not least, i would like to commend on our singapore's women table tennis players. though they lost but they really did play well tonight in the table tennis team finals. the team line-up was the same as when we played against south korea but the result was different.

the 1st match was Feng Tian Wei vs Wang Nan. Feng wins the 1st game but loses the subsequient ones partly due to lack of experience.

the 2nd match was more interesting with Li Jia Wei going up against Zhang Yi Ning. Zhang was ranked world no. 1 and Li was world no. 6. they used to attend the same sports achedemy at Beijing back in 1990s and were once frens. Li played a really good game with aggressive attacks but she was no match against Zhang who won the whole match 3-1

the 3rd and unfortunately last match was a doubles match. Li and Wang Yue Gu vs Zhang and Guo Yue. the team of Li and Wang was really strong but proved to be not strong enough to overcome Zhang and Guo. singapore went down 3-0

though we lost but the girls really did put up a good fight. and yes, we finally got an olympic medal after 48 yrs. it doesnt matter wat color the medal is. wat matters is, sg did make it to top 3 and we did play against the world's top. good job, girls~ singapore's proud of you.









haha my entry today lyk so damn formal lorx. but ya, i really had a lot of fun watching all those games. for example, i simply love the match between sg and south korea (women table tennis team). 3 and a half hours of nail-biting action and i swear, i really did bite my nails. LOL anyway, it could be due to the fact that i had so much time dat i am able to watch most of the games. but yea~~ super nice. HAHA it will be all over the tv, radio and papers abt the women table tennis but who cares. we've got a MEDAL~!! lyk after 48 years~!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA happy~~
