pesky ads

Channel 5 has really got no common sense - interrupting the closing ceremony with ill-timed advertisements. Cutting out things like singers performances and the UK national anthem in the process. And did they cut out our Singapore singer Stefanie Sun too? I didn't catch her performing at all!

Came home early on Friday. Managed to watch the finals of the mens beach volleyball match. Brazil vs USA. Woa! Got a new idol! And his name is Phil Dalhausser. He's the bestest blocker I've seen! Blocking I think 5 spikes in a row. Could see the look of frustration in the Brazilian's faces as they walk again and again into Dalhausser's blocks. hahaha... Must try to play like Dalhausser.

Well, the olympics are over. Sad, sad. It was fun watching the games over dinner and when I have got time to kill. Sitting in total disbelief as I watch the gymnastics people contort their bodies into out of the world poses. And bewilderment as I try to figure out the scoring for boxing - seriously, the 2 players were punching each other and yet only one player's score was increasing and the other's wasn't! But my favourite was seeing all those amazing camera angles and slow-mo replays of the medal winning performances! The best was the super slow mo replay of Phelps 1/100 second win for the 100m butterfly was just delicious.

Haha.. Phelps... If he were a one-man country competing at the Olympics, the People Republic of Phelps will rank 9th in the medal tally. He's amazing!
