I am so happy.. Haha.. i just recieved the news that Singapore would be able to end its 48 year drought of Olympic medals. Haha..

We would be fighting for a Gold on Sunday. This is a great thing and it is all thanks to Singapore's table tennis team. :) Singapore beat South Korea and manage to get into the finals. The match lasted for three hours and forty minutes, the longest ever match in table tennis at the Beijing Olympics so far:)

First, Feng Tianwei beat the South Korea in the singles. She held the match point leading 10-9 with both teams tied 2-2 in the semi-finals. The match point would decide a place in the finals and the assurance of of at least a silver medal. This point really came and gave Singapore its spot in this Sunday's finals. :) [Win]

After that, Li Jiawei and Wang Yuegu beat a Korean duo Singapore was not able to beat previously. President SR Nathan and Minister of Defence and Singapore National Olympic Council president Teo Chee Hean was their to support the team :)

In the next match, Li Jiawei paired with Feng Tianwei to go against Dang Ye Seo and Kim kyung Ah. Feng gave Singapore a lead by scoring 11-5, 11-5, 11-2. Li then fell, 11-5, 8-11,11-9, 6-11,9-11 to Kim Kyung Ah. Kim was the same person that defeated Li in the Athens, that costed Li her bronze-medal. [No win]

Li, however, bounced back quiukly to parthner Wang and defeat Kim and Park 11-7, 11-6, 11-9. Then Wang lost 8-11,12-14,9-11 to Dang and the score was 2-2. Feng then played against Park and won with 11-7,12-10, 3-11,11-9. [Win]

I am proud of Singapore's table tennis team. :) They really brought glory to Singpapore. :) It was a pity that Tao Li did not manage to get a medal in the pool but she manage to write history which was good. Now, the women table tennis team, also wrote history. :) I am proud of team Singapore. :) They will always be Singapore's glory!!!

hello... My exams are like just over.. It started on Tuesday and it just finished today.. I think i did ok for some while others not so good but able to pass. :) I also got back my bio paper. :) I am happy with my marks. I got 12 upon 15.. The highest is full marks which is there were 2 people in my class who got it.. These two are not the usual people who scores well, in their exams.. They are 2 completely new people and i am happy for them. :)

My Math teacher said that she would return us our paper on monday and i think i am going to get my physics paper on monday too. Also, if my English teacher marks fast enough, i would get bck my English paper at the same time.. That is almost 3 papers in one day.. I dun think i would be able to take the shock over and over again. My hear is just too weak.. haha..

I did a very funny thing today.. I was suppose to hand up my d&t today. But i dun know in the world how i can forget to bring my product to hand in.. I left it next to my table that tray.. Sigh.. To make matters worse, i heard from my friends that if i dun hand in by today, i would get a zero.. So in my frigtened state, i smsed and ask my sister to bring my product to school.. In my sms, i only asked if she had time but she thought that she had to bring it to school for me... So she cancelled her appointment with her friends to play squash, just to bring my d and t to school for me.. But in the end, if i didn't hand up today, i wouldn't get zero any way.. Haha..

After school, i went to child care to do my NYAA.. It was really fun. The teacher kept using Contessa and my name to somethings which we didnt say. [ya, Contessa was with me. As in not say Contessa would say... that sort of thing but jie jie say your very good children. That sort of thing.] It was supper fun.. After that, Contessa and i were doing some colouring after colouring. I finished first and had nothing to do, thus a took a piece of paper and folded it into a heart. The children there was so shocked.. Their reaction was like that they didn't even seen a heart before. After folding, i coloured one side of the heart and COntessa coloured the other side. Haha.. Then this boy came to me and asked me to help him make one, Contessa and i took this chance to tease him a little. It went some thing like this:

C and I: What do you want the heart for?
B: Nothing. I just want the heart.
C: You want to give to your girl friend right?
B: No, i just want it.
I: You want to give it to her right? [Points to girl sitting beside him and opposite me]
B: No, i just want it. Can you fold one for me?
I: You dun even want to give it to your mother?
B: No, i just want it.
I: Ok, if you want give me a piece of paper.

And he passed me a piece of paper. The paper was A5 so i tore it into half and made two one for the boy and the other for the girl sitting opposite me. Haha.. ;)
When Contessa and i left they, were colouring the heart that i left for them. And what happened to the heart that Contessa and i coloured? Well, a girl took it back with her.. haha.. It was very weird. At first i wanted to give it to another girl, but she just took it.. Haha.. :D

I am so so so so so sorry... I haven updated my blog in a super long time. I think many people think that my blog is dead.. Well, you are only half dead... Cos i am trying to update more.. I am super busy... But the funny thing is that i update at the busiest time. Maybe it is just because that i want to take a break from everything.. Well, lets update you people on whats going on...

First, i must now declare that the Olympics has opened.. Haha.. I am very happy about that. I just love the Olympics.. I can't wait to catch all the matches.. Haha.. [but i dun catch all.. Only selected ones that i like.. for example, gymnastics, swimming, a few matches of badminton and a few weightlifting..] Too bad on the opening day, while waiting for it, i feel alseep.. However, i got a few updates on what went wrong. Haha.. In the newspapers, i read that a few people were unhappy that Li Jia Wei, when carrrying the Singapore flag let it drag the floor.. Personally, i think it was because she was facinated about the Bird's Nest in Beijing. [Or maybe not.. I would never be able to know. Haha.] Another thing about the Olympics, i also saw on the news that the girl who was singing the Olympic song was not the actual singer but it was another 7 year old girl. the poor thing.. The girl at the Olympics got famous and got asked to act in a movie while the actual one doing the singing got nothing... Sigh..

However, i am happy about a few things that happened. I am happy for Tao Li that she managed to get into the 100m butterflies final... Even hough she didn't win, she still wrote history.. I think that is what matters the most.. I dun think that winning is the most important thing. I must also say congrats to a certain USA swimmer [I dun really know how to spell his name.. It is better to not spell his name then spell it wrongly.] He has gotten 6 gold medals in this Olympics.. He himself is already writing and rewriting history.. Good for him.. I realise that he likes to listen to his IPod or MP3 before a match.

Ok, lets not talk about the Olympics anymore. A bit more closer to home...

On Saturday, it was National Day and i did lots of interesting things.. Haha.. well, for example i got a new hair cut.. Haha.. Cool right.. I hope it looks ok.. I dun really dare to ask my friends about they think... haha... Anyway, that day always every year, for some reason, i go to Changi Airport. And if some of you are able to link the connection, i got my hair cut at Changi Airport.. That morning i sort of skipped breakfast just to go to Changi Airport to eat breakfast. However, i woke up later and by the time my family and i got to Changi Airport, it was time to eat lunch so so we went to terminal 3 to eat. [Just for change. ;)] When we reached there, we went to eat Popsye. There are only two stores in Singapore. One is at Changi Airport the other is at the city near the Singapore Flyer. :) It was really nice to eay.. here are some of the pictures which i took of the food.. Haha.. The thing on the far left is not a bun but a biscuit. I know it looks like a bun but it doesn't taste like one. [and it doesn't taste like a biscuit but it is still called a biscuit..] this is one of the must trys... If you dun, you would have missed something special. I think it is the best to eat it there.. Cos it taste the best when it is hot... Well, as you can see, i also posted the picture of the fries. The fries i say can almost be comparable to LJS. It is crispy and long.. You would not be happy with just a packet of Regualar fries after you tasted it. Haha... The chicken there although not as good as Finger Lickin' but it also is tasty. However, its mild is also crispy unlike Finger Lickin's one. you would be able to hear the crunch as you eat it. You can say that when ranked it is the second right after Finger Licken.
