Today I was with my colleagues from the HR department and we were watching the ending portion of the triathlon. The female athletic that's running in first is Australian.. and guess what? She paused... went to get a FLAG... and continue jogging.. and then actually went to shake spectators' hands... I was like.. huh.. so confident! The comments by my colleagues were funny:
"should not count your chickens till it hatched"
"she could fall and someone can overtake her!"
"anything can happen"
"I wish she will just finish the da** race!"
Haha... although I agree. Anything can happen. Imagine u were in a race for close to 2 hours and u lost it cause u fell while grabbing a flag. That will be terrible!
Liu Xiang didn't run his 110m hurdles today. Sob. Was so looking forward to him in action. Ah well... all the best to his recovery! Hope he recovers from his injury soon and we can see him in action again.
Singapore won silver in table-tennis female team!! :) First medal in 48 years. Yay to our paddlers! Yeah, we din get gold, but hey, this is a situation where silver = gold. Hehe. Hooray!!
Yesterday's 100m female finals was astouding. 3 Jamaicans, 3 Americans and 1 from Bahamas. And what happened? Jamaica sweep the medals... took 1 and 2 (2 people got the same time! that's amazing too!!). How exciting! The americans didnt get a single medal. Wow. The relay will be exciting.
Then the 10000m run. Bekele from Ethiopia... havent lost ANY race before. Won 11 out of 11 so far. Wow =)

Looks like I won't get that much work done for this week.. thank goodness Olympics is ending!! If only they showed fencing... that would be perfect. Oh well. Channel 7's coverage is quite disappointing at times. Bleah.
Hmm, wonder if I should go for fencing tomorrow. Kinda losing the drive to go. I dun even go for competition nowadays cause I dun have the equipments to go for competitions. Nowadays I go to play basketball, do footwork, and have lesson. I cant even be bothered to fence with the others. I think I'm escaping from refereeing... haha...
Monday is ending! 4 more days to Friday! :P Monday bluess.... Have a good week ahead everyone!
