History repeats itself again as Li Jia Wei lose to world No. 1 Zhang Yi Ning in the semi-finals of Table Tennis Women Single at Beijing 2008, meaning that Li Jia Wei will have to slog it out at the Bronze Medal match, just like she did at Athens 2004. Only this time, her oppoenent is either former world No. 1 Wang Nan or Guo Yue.
Oh well, by tonight we will know whether China has a clean sweep of the Table Tennis Women Single or the bronze has legs and run over to the arms of Singapore.
We shall see...
Edit: Well, apparently the bronze medal legs not strong enough to escape Guo Yue's arms...
I don't know what to say... but seriously, US need to do some team bonding.
Over at Beijing's Bird Nest, both the US 4X100m relay men and women team were disqualified, simply because they drop the baton at the last exchange.
LOLZ.
Wah piang. What the hell are they thinking?? The US gave the world a shock when the men drop the baton at the last exchange. Than the women repeat the same shit AGAIN at exactly the same place.
Damn, i am currently in a seems-like-PMS-but-not-PMS kind of mood.
I am rather tired these days, emotionally and physically. I really don't know what does the future holds for me. I love advertising, no doubt. But do i really want to slog endlessly and maybe die inside an ad agency? Besides, the trend is now moving towards Social Media, hence casting a doubt on my dream of working at Ogilvy & Mather.
Meanwhile, school break is damn long, till end of Sept. Ideally, i should be able to find a job as the break is 3 months 1 week. BUT! GP stands in the way, disrupting any plans i have. Haiz. Now i guess i can only take on part-time jobs or those short duration jobs...
So... we got the Olympics silver medal. We put up a good fight, but the China team is simply too... strong. Never mind. At least we NOT going home empty handed. Haha.
On a side note, China's hope of getting a medal in track and field took a bashing as Liu Xiang, Athens 2004 110m hurdles champion, pulled out of the event due to his right knee injury. Wow. The impact is tremendous as not only Liu Xiang but the whole of China's 1.3 billion population is devastated. Can you imgaine how heavy is the pressure and burden and hopes Liu Xiang is carrying on his shoulders? And the best part? He is competing in none other than his homeland. Ouch.
After 48 years of waiting, we are assured of an Olympic medal, courtesy of our women table tennis team.
Woohoo!
Well done girls! You do us proud!
And, not forgetting Tao Li, who is the first Singaporean swimmer to reach the finals of an Olympic swimming event. Though she didn't bring home any medal, she is still someone Singapore is proud of. Well done girl.
One day, a truck driver was driving down a highway when he looked in his rear view mirror and saw a blonde in a little blue car tailgating him. Well, this truck driver hated to be tailgated, so he stopped his truck and walked over to the car, which had also stopped and said, “Hey, lady, if you don’t stop tailgating me, I’m going to bust up your car.”
He got back in truck and drove away.
A little while later he looked in his rearview mirror, and saw the blonde tailgating him again. So he stopped his truck, got out, and walked over to the car, saying, “Hey lady, stop tailgating me, or I’ll bust up your car.”
So he got back in his truck and drove away.
A little while later he looked in his rearview mirror, and once again the blonde was tailgating him. So he stopped his truck, walked over to the car, and said, “Lady, get out.”
So the blonde stepped out of her car, and the truck driver drew a circle on the roadside, saying, “Now don’t step out of that circle.”
He proceeded to bust up the blonde’s car, smashing the windshields and windows.
And the blonde started laughing.
The truck driver ripped out the seats, and busted all the tires.
And the blonde kept laughing.
He took a sledge hammer from his truck, and pounded in the frame, ripped out the steering wheel, cut the brake lines, etc, until the car was completely totaled.
And the blonde was still laughing.
The truck driver walked over to the blonde, and said, “Lady, I just completely totaled your car, and you’re still laughing. What is so funny?”
The blonde replied, giggling, “I stepped out the circle and you didn’t see me!!!”
Although it is a little disappointing that Tao Li didn't bring home any Olympics medal, it is comforting to know she finished 5th overall in the finals.
Wah lao, 5th man. Not SEA Games or Asian Games sia, but Olympics man. And she is only 18 years old taking part for the first time. If she continues to improve leaps and bounds over the years, who knows? We may just hear our national anthem being played at London 2012 Olympics.
A fellow had just been hired as the new CEO of a large tech corporation. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes. "Open one of these if you run up against a problem you don't think you can solve," he said.
Things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn and the CEO was really catching a lot of heat. About at his wit's end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, "Blame your predecessor."
The new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. Satisfied with his comments, the press -- and Wall Street -- responded positively, sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him.
About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize."
This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.
After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The message said, "Prepare three envelopes."
Nah, i am not going to put lots of news in this post.
You think what? My blog the online ST huh?
Anyway, for those who want to marry Japanese girls, ahem, for the proper reasons, there are reasons to celebrate! Apparently, according to their health ministry, Japanese females are the longest survivors in the world. So, if you marry a Japanese female from now on, you can expect to see her live till 86, meaning she can still take care of your grandchildren or even great-grandchildren in case you don't make it. Woohoo! More info here.
On another side of the world, Shakespeare's fans can celebrate as experts have found the remains of a London theatre believed to be the first place where Shakespeare's early works were first performed. Woo. Wonder who is the actor and actress though... More info here.
Why do Blizzard have to tempt me again and again? I am SO going to get my hands on this, after i get StarCraft 2, or maybe before, or after, or maybe before...

Been a while since i last visited Genting and well, much have changed. There are now more indoor entertainment and more shops for you to shop.
Basically, i think Genting want to show Singaporeans aga aga what it will look like when the IR they manage open in Singapore. Eh, i would say not bad la. Haha. Can fight with Vivo City. Wah, if they bring in the indoor monorail and put in the IR, they win. Right now, as i am typing, one monorail tram has just passed me by. Woo...
Three men were trekking in a tropical jungle when they were captured by the natives belonging to a carnivorous tribe.
After much pleading and stuff, the chief agreed to let them go on the following condition.
"Go inside the jungle and find any fruit. Gather ten of them back here. If i can stuff all these 10 up your arsehole, I will let you go"
The men did as they were told.
The first man returned with 10 mangoes. By the 3rd mango, he could not take it anymore and was eaten.
The second man returned with 10 longans. He hang in there and things were going okay until the 8th longan, when he begin to start laughing and no more longan could be stuffed in anymore. So he too was eaten.
Over at Heaven, the first man asked why the second man laugh when he could have just hang in there a little more and be freed.
The second man replied, "I saw the third man coming back and he was carrying durians!"
