Olympics!

have you ever seen terence being remotely interested in sports of any kind? on 99.9% of the occasion, you will prob be right if you think that way. but this time... it's just different.

actually... i dont really like the damned olympics. especially this year... so far... it's been upsetting. but... i shall not talk about why i think that... because... all i wanna talk about are events going on in "The Water Cube", and the Greatest Olympian of All Time - MICHAEL PHELPS!

a whole week filled with world record breaking races... the time we secretly listened to the TV mobile radio during chemistry lesson when the 4X200 freestyle men's race was on LIVE. all those amazing record SMASHING wins... i am quite certain that this year... Michael Phelps will become a "groundbreaker". 7 (and soon to be 8) gold medals in a single season of the summer games and a total of 12 gold medals. unprecedented. WOOHOOOOO!

it's really amazing how everyone is caught up with the swimming races, especially those with him in it. i know for a fact that there are at least a few of my friends who are so caught up with it, she hyperventilates.. lol. i shant name names. but damn... i'm nervous as hell as well... the excitement is just..... its like... feverish.

and on friday... my dear school FINALLY decided to show the games on the plasma TV... and everyone gathered around it to watch. i ALMOST missed it because we had biology lesson until 10.50 am that day... but THANKFULLY, it ended early. i swear, the moment i knew we could go... i flew out of the LT and ran to the TV to watch the race... haha.. oh the drama... someone wanted to turn the volume up and messed up the channels and made the screen go black... i think he almost got attacked by the crowd... i mean... it was just SECONDS before the race! hahaa... but he got the channel back.. lol.. thank god. and my friend was smart enough to listen to the race on tv mobile radio because the crowd was SO noisy the teachers came out to tell us to shut up. so we watched him win and smash ANOTHER record.... everyone was whooping and clapping and shouting, it was SO exciting and i was overjoyed... lol.

cant believe i missed the live 100m butterfly race today but its ok... i just watched a telecast on today in beijing. and god.... 0.01 seconds?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO. a GOLD medal for him in the SMALLEST of fractions. damn that was a lil too close for comfort but HE DID IT! GO MICHAEL PHELPS! lol... he's aquaman is there ever was one. if i was watching it live and i see him lagging like that in the first 50 m and only catch up in the last 10 m i will prob faint from the excitement... or the tension. lol. but damn he won! YAY!

haha.... though US didnt do as well in the other sport that i watch.. gymnastics.. lol.. well.... i wish them all the best for all the other stuff... and hopefully.... they'll maintain their top gold/overall medal count. GO MICHAEL PHELPS!!!! AND..... GO TEAM USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this man... is amazing.

it's time to be the best ever.
