hello
no cell today
so i'm home early
was already at uncle steven's hse
ahah
i thought the SMU talk would end at 6
but it ended at 5 instead
so i was kinda early
met uncle daniel AG unexpectedly at RAFFLES CITY
chatted with the grandpa of our church for awhile
before leaving for tampines
as usual
watched cartoons with Ben
ahah
i was kinda stunned
when he said
"this show episode is boring..i watched it already"
wow
when do you often hear that someone has already trawled through the massive amount of media content on Starhub cable
and at the same time telling you that this CERTAIN episode is boring
thats kind of scary
went home to watch Li Jia Wei take on Guo Yuo of china in the bronze match
which started with guo yue taking the first two sets
then jia wei came back quite well to make it 2-2
and for a moment
i thought singapore had hope
then she lost the next 2 sets
with guo yue turning on the style
in school today
li jia wei played against world #1 zhang yining
my class was having chem lessons
and we cldnt watch it in the canteen
thankfully
we have internet!
oh man
chem lesson.
or Olympics Lesson?
ahahah
we were cheering at every point
poor miss ng
ahah
thankfully the amtch ended fast
otherwise we would spend 1 whole tutorial with out minds on beijing
on my way home from uncle steven's hse
i was on bus 3
an elderly uncle and his grand daughter boarded the bus
it was crowded
i was sitted
with earphones stuck right in my ears
i saw the uncle board
and offered my seat
but he refused
so i decided to continue sitting
at the next stop
the guy next to me left his seat and alighted
i gesterured to the old uncle to sit down
and his grand daughter was super thoughtful
and also pestered her grandpa to sit down
but being a grandpa
he wanted the grand daughter to sit instead
seeing how there was going to be no end between a grandpa and a grand daughter who showed abundance of care for each other
and seeing how the grandpa was struggling to hold on tight
i decided to let them both sit
by offering my seat
but the main focus here is nt on me
i was rather, amazed by the thoughtfullness of this young girl no older then 5 yrs old
she even pointed out to her grandpa the sign that said "reserved for elderly"
and wanted her own grandpa to sit instead
my my...such a young girl doing something like this
i was kinda touched
then i pondered to myself
10 20 years down the road
i might just be a father myself
will my children be like this young girl?
oozing care for her elders
but oh well
its still too early to be wondering about all these
at the sametime
the world is gripped by a controversy regarding china.
Yes, China. Again.
This time, its again about the olympics
and again, they're said to have cheated in the gymnastic
by falsly declaring the age of 3 of their gymnastic members
its mandatory for olympic challengers to be of at least 16 yrs of age
3 of their gymnasts, were thought to be below that requirement
doubts have been raised over the body build and size of these '16 yr old' gymnast
if indeed it is proven to be true that china had cheated, it would be interesting to see the world's view
being younger, they ahve a physical advantage over their bigger sized opponents
being smaller means better flexibility, and less energy required
this is potenially unfair
another interesting news.
Intel has developed a world's first Wireless Technology
involving, wirless electricity

and the last interesting news
a baby born in israel was declared dead by doctors after being still born, only to be found alive before the parents had buried her
this baby, grabbed her mother's arms, and opened her mouth
alerting her life to her parents
doctors suggest it could be that the cold store for dead bodies that lowered the baby's metabolism rates.
this allowed the baby to survive
though its not determined if the baby would live long.
