olympiCrazy

from my 70+ year old grandma to my 5 year old cousin.... the whole family's been crazy about the olympics! been on starhub channels 601-606 24/7. plus my timetable is so slack, i can do anything i want!

i only watch Gymnastics & Swimming. Gym because it's beautiful. Swimming because of Michael Phelps!

i really admire the U.S. Gymnasts Nastia Liukin & Shawn Johnson!!! Nastia's this beautiful graceful thing & Shawn's a real cute dynamo-fireball. both impressed the world - Nastia bagged 1 Gold, 3 Silvers and 1 Bronze. Shawn has done equally well with several Silvers and finally 1 Gold today!

Michael Phelps is, undeniably, an Olympic Miracle. not only is he the first Olympic athlete to bag 8 Golds for the whole of Olympic history, he also broke several records...and don't forget that he's also very hot!!

pity Liu Xiang. awful turn of events! always admired him because he's so talented.

the olympics can be such a cruel place. a bad fall, a 0.001 second difference...and that's it for you.

oh...and ya i did watch a bit of the Table Tennis. but it was quite obvious China was going to win, so i just kept switching to Gym! but silver is pretty darn good already right!!!! so proud of you, Team Singapore =D

and so interesting of PM Lee to postpone the English telecast... haha! very supportive!!

looking forward to Synchronised Swimming finals!!

you've been forewarned - i'm olympic crazy la!

P.S. eugenia introduced this amazing video. impressive what technology + human prodigies can produce ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXYEw6t2o_M Adidas Commercial featuring Nastia Liukin!
