Dance like no one's watching

I linked from my friend’s blog to a blog she reads regularly.  The post I was directed to was about the blog author’s separation from her husband.  Sad stuff.  But more than sad, I was astounded when I saw a photo of her soon-to-be-ex husband – he’s my client. Kind of freaky how the Internet […]

Been meaning to create a new category for my blog but never quite got down to it.  Anyway, I suspect this category will feature more posts on "the Bad" and "the Delusional" rather than "the Good".  Good news is seldom interesting isn’t it?  😛 The Bad Inconsiderate commuters on the MRT irritate me the most.  […]

              My dad bought a new TV.  A big one… hehehehehe.

And you thought only the Chinese did it… ================================ SYDNEY – Eight years after it hosted an Olympics that were famously hailed as the "best games ever," Sydney has had to confess that it faked one of the key musical performances at the opening ceremony in 2000.

I’m really really impressed with the latest addition to our table-tennis team, Feng Tianwei!  Though she’s a "lowly" world #9, the tenacity she has against players who are ranked higher than her is amazing.  I’ve been dutifully watching the "Today in Beijing" every night at 11pm just to catch the table-tennis team’s performance and I […]

Our women’s table-tennis team just gave Singapore its first Olympic (silver) medal in 48 years.  48 years – that’s a wait that started even before Singapore gained independence.  Kind of put things into perspective doesn’t it?  Our girls fought hard.  They clawed tooth and nail for every point in the semi-final against Korea to earn […]

SINGAPORE BEAT SOUTH KOREA IN THE BEIJING OLYMPICS TABLE-TENNIS WOMEN’S SEMI-FINALS TO ADVANCE INTO FINALS ON SUNDAY!  WOOHOO! Would it be too much to ask for a gold now?  😛  

Sigh.  My eyeballs are in overdrive today.  In this world there are the collectivists, the individualists and the pure delusional. Came across this other article on the Internet about table-tennis.  The last paragraph took the cake. "Still, we’ll never appreciate table tennis like the Chinese do. We’ll never chant and ooh and ahh when the […]
