everytime i browse the net (which i really shouldn’t be doing now… oh wells.), i find something that reminds me of coursework and that i should be doing coursework for my study breaks instead of serving the web (tmr is gp paper: is the use of WEB a metaphor??? just as a web is something that is interconnected, so the world is interconnected electronically through the internet.).
anyway for those people who are not in tune with the olympics (really a virtually impossible feat since ALL the newspapers of the world, the whole internet, the broadcast news on television, the radio stations updates…are covering it.), Singapore has finally gotten a olympics medal courtesy of our women’s table tennis team. Woots~ it is times like these that i realise that everyone in Singapore are really patriotic.
AND… Michael Phelps has reached his goal of getting 8 gold olympics medals in a single game.
and… just yesterday, favourite Liu Xiang pulled out of the games due to injury
(i am still quite disappointed in the Chinese’s reactions to this. they should really think about whether their mentality of silver is never good enough is the right motivation pressure behind all their athletes. Many Chinese are blaming him now and calling him a coward and many feel that the whole injury is just an ‘act’. it makes me wonder what will be their reactions if he ran, lost, and ended his whole possible sporting career due to futher injury during the run. something tells me that they may still blame him.)
just a personal view of course.
to end this post, the picture which reminded me of my coursework… i shall get back to that.
