super cute la!

watched the olympics (swimming) in school today during our 2 hour break in the lunch area. it was quite a site, to see a crowd of people from various nationalities sitting on the floor together, watching the silent projection on the wall.

it was rather amusing how some of us were deciding who to support. ie, the criteria based on, firstly, an athelete from your country (happened once today); secondly, your favourite athelete; thirdly, nationality (preferably asians of course). and when we can't find anybody that fits into that criteria, we go back to basics: height, physique and looks. of course, that's for the male swimmers *drools*. the female swimmers were generally too bulky to admire.

then when it was Tao Li's swim, whoa! the small bunch of us in the middle of the sea of australians were like cheering and going all excited because she was in the finals. and she made it to the 5th place, which is very good! 5th in the whole world! aiya, after a while, you just give up having hopes that singapore will get gold medals for such events.

the most amazing event that i've seen today is the 4X100m men's relay. everyone seated there was rooting for australia (duh, cuz singapore ain't in it) and we were all cheering for them. it was a super exciting race, and someone was going "wtf" at the speed of the americans. and the world record was broken by 5 of the teams in that race. everyone applauded when USA won, especially seeing how they won just at the VERY END. waaahh. i was never interested in olympics, and never watched it till today. now i'm interested.

ok, life's sucky and good all at the same time. too much work to do. GAH. :/
