Olympics Ain't Just Sports

Alright, previous post was all about chicken and eggs. Now, where's the bacon!?

Oops, got too carried away. Heh.

Few months ago, I was getting bored and I ran a search about Elvis Presley. I was wondering why he's so famous. After reading through Wikipedia, I still don't quite get it. Anyway, the only thing I still remember is he died quite young on 16 August. His death anniversary is nearing, so I guess I'd feature his songs in MediaStation. That's the purpose of this paragraph actually. Haha.

Academic Year 08/09 Semester 1 inofficially ended yesterday (in relative to the post date). But my assignments are still hanging on to me. The final two are all about Flash, however there's nothing flashy about them, they are as dull as ever!

Anyway, Olympics 2008 had just started! The opening ceremony was pretty grand. But I never watched it fully, gotta do what I was complaining in my previous paragraph! =/

The most boring part was when players have to carry their country flags and wave and wave. Yet it wasn't all that boring. Looking at all the different countries, there are quite some country I never heard of! Even if I did, I couldn't be sure where they are on the map. Maybe I could make a guess for their continent. But the thing I'm sure is, I'm not the only one in the world.

Here I am in Singapore holding a phone in my hand and asking, "Got a country call Moldova one arh?"

Who knows that the people on the other side of the globe could be wondering, "Where's Singapore?"

Haha.

It's quite interesting to see some of the games. It's not just about winning the medals but also fulfiling self-expectations. It can be a heart-wrenching moment to see some players not able to do their routine as planned. I mean those individual/solo events.

Let's put the football match between Singapore and Brazil behind, and hope Singapore can do us proud this time!

'NUFFsaid.
