olympics fever! new ambition for me!

seems like everyone is crazy over olympics nowadays. in sch, ppl are crowding around the plasma screens to watch the events. it's crazy! haha but i think i'm into it as well. it's quite fun seeing so many athletes come tgthr and compete.

juz finished watching the table-tennis women's matches. sadly, li jiawei didnt win, but she did put up a brave fight! ahh juz that guo yue is too manly for jiawei to handle. nvm at least we got a silver for the team event! =) hmm next up was the gold medal match. i really wanted wang nan to win! but bleh zhang yining still won in the end. i seriously think she mugs table-tennis everyday. for some reason, i juz dun like her. aww wang nan is retiring...sad.

hmm okay besides that, i've watched so many sports events this past 2 weeks! handball, swimming, track, pole vault, javelin, long jump, shot-put, basketball, table-tennis, volleyball, badminton, water polo...ah lazy to list all. surprisingly didnt watch soccer that much! the pole vault finals juz ended not long, this aussie is...dunno how to describe...lucky perhaps? he only made it on every of his last attempt, and in the end he won gold. his hair looks like spaghetti!

swimming - michael phelps, phelps, phelps, and more phelps. haha he's juz everywhere la. nothing much i can say about him. a class above everyone else. juz like hanen said, if he were a country alone, he'll be like in the top 5 countries! breaking world records like free...he's juz so amazing.

track - the 4x100 men's finals juz finished. jamaica gold! haha sort of expected with ppl like fraser, bolt and powell. luckily they didnt screw up with the baton like wad the US did. but sadly their women's team also screwed up, or else veronica campbell could have gotten the gold medal for them. usain bolt is quite funny, doing his signature 'superman' pose. haha very different from his team mates like asafa powell, so calm and collected. but nevertheless, that bolt guy really deserves every bit of it. how often do u see a guy breaking 3 track world records? quite often if everyone's like lightning bolt!

off to watch US basketball team play against argentina now! haha from wad i see...they're owning. and then from this weekend onwards, i shall mug all the way till A levels =) goodbye!

oh forgot about my ambition...i had a sudden feeling last week that i wanna be a pilot =)
