recalcitrance

just watched the 1om mens' diving and saw australian Matthew Mitcham snatch the gold from China's Zhou Luxin.

it was just spectacular to see how people won't give up though they know its either they give the performance of their lifetime or they lose.
and he did. a 112.10 final dive was more den enough to overcome the 108 point lead China had.

its kinda amazing how they stay so optimistic after they are so far behind.
i guess psychological training in sport events are an essential part of the games' preparation as well.
and maybe such training shld be incorporated somewhere so that non athletes like us can also be real optimistic about life, and not give up at the slightest thing that obstruct our paths that are clear as still water.

i'm kinda sad that the olympics are ending.
it was such a great showing from all the nations.
especially china.
i haven't been confident of their hosting of the games at first.
guess they proved me wrong.
certainly, they gave a specatular opening ceremony and i can totally expect the same for the closing ceremony 20 hours from now.
security was good. didn't hear any bad news. at least not that bad news.
i wonder if london 2012 will be able to deliver.
i sure hope they do.
if not no more nice showings also not nice. haha.


and i was also watching the 50km walk. omg. they walk one round in the bird's nest.
den exit and walk 24 laps outside before going back in.
they take 3hr 40 mins thereabout. holy mama.
that means their 2.4km WALK only takes 10mins 30secs.
and mind it. its their "walking" speed.
totally. i mean if they run sure below 7 mins.
lol. so crazy but i'm so shocked at how they can walk for 50km.
imagine its held in singapore...
walk from changi airport to boonlay aka one end to the other is only like 40+km.
and they do it in 3.5 hrs. lol.

i hate that the olympics is ending.
i hate that august is ending.
because september is totally boring.
with zero holidays.
omg. it'd be a miracle to pull thru.
and once we get past sept, its 1 month for aaron and hs.
and 2 for me and jy.
totally excited!

haha...
bravo to beijing! =)
