I really think Joi Chua is a very good singer, and they should have used the chinese version rather than the english vesion cause the chinese version makes more sense and is more meaningful.
Anyway, I feel damn lazy can. On friday night, I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics till like 12.30 (to watch house). It was very draggy, and very long, and I fell asleep halfway, when the athletes walk out (there were 204 nations). I now know more nations, and wonder why some of them even bother joining the games when they like send only 2 or 3 athletes. I also realised that the arabic countries are pro in wrestling (may be a generalization). But the cauldron was lighted nicely and the firework were nice, especially the huge footprints, but I was disappointed with the song (You and I [or vice versa]) cause I cannot hear what they singing. After the whole ceremony there was news 5 tonight at 12.10 am?? It should actually be News 5 morning then. Then I watched house, which was quite funny cause Voglar wants to kick House away and blah blah.
Then for the rest of the 3 day holiday, I was watching the Olympics without doing any work at all. Die le, prelims coming but havent really start yet. Liked Michael Phelps alot. Wth, his underwater fly kick is imba and he caught up quite a lot with the kick. Thats why he excelled in fly, back and free but not really breast, but his breaststroke is equally good. I saw him took the 400m IM medal, which was very good cause he caught up last 50 m very quickly. Then this morning the 4x100m free relay was freaking exciting, cause US was like losing cause of the third swimmer who was very slow, but then the last swimmer Jason Lezak was VERY good. He was 1 body away from the French guy at the last 25 m and he managed to catch up and snatch the gold away from the French. Then the US team keep jumping, particularly Phelps cause he still have chance to get his 8 gold. The third swimmer suck la, totally wasted the lead Phelps and the second swimmer got. And the funny thing is that all top 5 teams broke the world record. Then for the women 400m freestyle, the GB swimmer sneakily took away the gold by touching the wall first when Katie Hoff was like leading throughout. Was shocked by that lol. Then just now Phelps broke the Olympic record for 200m fly again. Woots. Hope he can get his 8 golds.
And Federer advances to the next round : )))
