那个随心所欲的毛病

我那个随心所欲的毛病再次复发。

是夜,我突然有喝咖啡的冲动,苦无人陪伴,我还是义无反顾地步行到附近的咖啡馆,点了杯咖啡。很随意,在一个吵吵闹闹的地方,在人群的眼光之中,独自一个在店里的一角,翻看着书本。

咖啡,只是我想随心所欲的借口。

Wall E back in 15 Years Ago

I've just watched Wall E this week, and I adore Wall E, I wish I have one!!!

I was Youtube-ing for Wall E and look what I found! Pixar actually has Wall E for 15 years, since Toy Story!

Bad Hair DaySSSS...

My hair has been killing me softly, ever since I've decided to keep it long again.

Most of you know that I cut my hair short, as short as 3cm December last year. I was proud of the short hair, as I can sleep a little bit longer everyday, I don't have to comb my hair, I can shower 15 mins before I sleep etc. There were so many advantages.

Till...

I have to visit the saloon, every month! If I were to leave my hair to grow for 2 months, I would look as if I grow bushes on my head. On my 6th month of having super short hair, I lost my patience, and I want them to be long again.

And ever since I've made the decision to keep long hair again, I hope my hair could reach shoulder length on the next morning when I wake up. But too bad, this never happen...

It's neck length now, I hate this!

People say plants will grow faster if you talk to them and let them listen to music, I wonder what will it be if I were to do the same to my hair?

男生的粗心

刚刚过的周一,才踏出家门上班的毓豪摇电话于在房间发梦的我,说:“门口有双不知名的高跟鞋,等会东西收好才出门。”我也很听话一下,想都不想就答应。

洗了澡,我把抽屉锁好,收好钥匙,准备上班。

结果我发现,门口的那双高跟鞋,是我的。

再见奥运!

在过去的两周,我可以说是绕着奥运而活。

最常爬的网,是北京奥运的官方网站。最常观看的电视台,是所有与奥运有关系的电台。所写的部落格,也多半与奥运有关。与同事朋友谈天说地,也在谈奥运。也因为奥运,一大群人窝在朋友家,守在电视旁支持国家队。也因为奥运,电脑中了毒。

这种作息环绕着奥运的日子,让我的生活精彩了不少。闭幕典礼以后,突然觉得似乎少了点什么。

或许平凡人的生活需要点英雄,看着运动员为国家与荣誉拼命,让平凡人多了点激励。为国家队加油,让人民多了点爱国之心。看运动员受伤失场,让人们多了点宽容。

现在北京奥运也结束了,英雄们也会渐渐在我们的日常生活中淡出。然后,在2012年,我们再回味。

让奥运精神,延续下去。

姐姐好可怜

上周末,姐姐发送短讯说要动手术。把在新加坡不知头尾的我,吓得魂飞魄散,立马就拨个电话回家,替她紧张不少。周日,她就被送进医院,进行那项小手术。

小手术没什么大碍,住了一晚就顺利回家。只是“神经过敏”的她,大痛小痛都大喊大叫,把医生护士气炸,挨骂了几次。对于这个,我非常能够了解。不知道为了什么,我们两姐妹的神经线好像都比别人多,对别人来说那小小的痛,在我们身上好像被老虎咬一样!非常的同情她,这种时候还被医生骂。

即使如此,天生有“喜剧效果”的姐姐,把整个经历都写得像笑话一样,让我在公司边看边笑,搞得同事懵喳喳,不知道为什么姐姐入院妹妹那么高兴?发送短讯再与她通话,关心她之余,还不忘把她的博客上写的事笑一下。结果她气炸,在博客上再写,说我们个个什么同情心都没有。

其实,关心的话老是说不出。看到她在博客上写的最后那句,我的眼泪就禁不住地在眼里打滚,还好同事没看见,要不然还以为我怎么了,又笑又哭的。发送短讯,她又说她打开伤口,很恐怖很痛,一个人在房间流泪,搞到我想都不想就拨电话给她。怎么知道在那方的她却大声说大声笑,搞到我也哭笑不得。

不管怎样,这就是我非常矛盾的傻姐姐。

希望她伤口快点痊愈 :D

刘翔因伤退赛

我傻眼了!

我如常的打开奥运会的官方网站,想看看今天刘翔跑得怎么样,却看见了这坏消息

已经付出的努力,背负着全中国人的希望,一瞬间就消失了。我想此刻的刘翔肯定非常伤心及失望,背负了那么久的压力,好不容易等到了北京奥运的一天,可以将一切爆发的那一刻,刘翔的腿,受伤了。

我想此刻,中国人的心也是碎了吧。

我虽不是中国人,可是看见这位备受期待的运动员,在比赛的那一刻受伤了,实在觉得非常的惋惜。就这样,刘翔的奥运梦破了!

Goodbye Gold Medal...

We've nailed it once, but we lost it still...

Lee Chong Wei was defeated badly by the incredible strong opponent Lin Dan, straight set, 21-12; 21-8. Yes, I do hate Lin Dan for his forever Hao-Lian face...

But we have to accept the fact, that Lee Chong Wei is not as good as him, and the mentally preparedness is not as good too.

Maybe, we'll just have to wait for another 4 years...

100米飞毛腿


昨晚10.30pm的男子100米赛跑,无疑是整个奥运会最受瞩目的项目。来自牙买加的Usain Bolt能否再创世界纪录称为地球上跑得最快的人,成为所有人的焦点。

果然不负众望,飞毛腿以9秒69分破了自己原先的9秒72分的纪录,并且领先第二名0.2秒。Usain Bolt在起跑时稍微落后了一点,可是,他的冲刺非常的快,一瞬间就把所有参赛者抛在后头。并且,还可以在最后几十米,放慢速度,张开双臂,迎着他的金牌及荣誉。(西北浩恋!不过,他可以!)

可惜,网上仍没办法找到这9.69秒的录像,暂时没办法在这里分享。

Phelps为奥运会游泳划上完美的句点

奥运会的游泳项目,经过一周的激烈比赛, 终于落幕。想想有点可惜,好多项目都错过,还好至少看了录像。

游泳项目的焦点很自然的放在菲尔普斯身上。菲尔普斯在奥运会之前放话说把目标放在八面金牌,想破施皮茨在1972年慕尼黑的七面金牌纪录。打从游泳开始的第一天,菲尔普斯就一而再,再而三地破了一项又一项世界纪录。除了昨天一百米蝶泳险胜之外,每一枚金牌都是“轻松”夺回。

刚刚完成的颁奖仪式上,奥委会特别为了菲尔普斯颁了个特别奖,让这位泳池里的飞人一度激动。这种骄人的成绩,不知还要有多少年的努力才能再突破。菲尔普斯在颁奖仪式后,跑上观众席拥抱母亲,那一刻“菲母”肯定是世上最骄傲的母亲!

就这样,北京2008游泳项目结束了。而菲尔普斯,为北京2008添了许多精彩,成为史上最优秀的运动员。他的精彩表现,也让北京2008成为最难忘的游泳比赛!

2008费尔普斯的骄人成绩:

4x100m Individual Medley 4:07.28 WR
4x100m Freestyle Relay 3:12.23 WR
200m Freestyle 1:42.96 WR
200m Fly 1:52.03 WR
4x200m Freestyle Relay 6:58.56 WR
200m Individual Medley 1:54.23 WR
100m Fly 50.58
4x100m Medley Relay 3:29.34 WR

美国在北京2008第九天总共赢得了17面金牌,而菲尔普斯占了8面。这种荣誉,是前无古人啊!

The Phenomenal Phelps!




The best swimmer in the history! He had won 8 gold medals in one Olympic itself, and broke 7 world records! I wonder how many years would other swimmers need to break these records. Of course, he would have to thank his relay teammates for being able to put up the good show for his 8th gold too!

The last performance of Phelps was 4x100m Medley. The USA team had put up a wonderful show for all the audiences. The first swimmer, Piersol had a good lead in 100m for backstroke. The 2nd swimmer of Japan Kitajima however overtook Hansen from USA team. That was quite a moment, if only Japan team swimmers are all equivalent fast as Kitajima, Japan could break Phelps 8 gold dream. Phelps was the 3rd swimmer for fly, he made the lead after the 50m turn and brought the lead to the last swimmer, Lezak. Lezak swam very fast, leading far ahead the Aussies and broke the world record.

There goes, the world's best swimmer in history, Michael Phelps!

8 gold medals, 7 world records!

中国体操男团夺冠

陈一冰、黄旭、李小鹏、肖钦、杨威、邹凯

这早已经不是新闻了,只是比赛当天由于工作的关系而错过了现场直播,而没办法感受到男团的厉害。多谢朋友们的介绍,好不容易找到了网上看cctv的门路,我昨天下午在cctv7看了体操男团决赛的录影。

2004年雅典奥林匹克,中国男团并未保住了金牌,同金牌擦身而过。经过四年的刻苦耐劳,他们成功捍卫中国强项之一,体操。

男团阵容:杨威、李小鹏、黄旭、陈一冰、邹凯、肖钦

这六名体操运动员在比赛中发挥得淋漓尽致,可说是百分百的比赛。虽然如此,他们的对手也不简单。美国体操好手在单杠项目的表现非常精彩,让现场观众热血沸腾。美国队员一点都不示弱,每个项目都紧紧追随中国,只不过在自由体操一项,可能是身材高大而占了下风,自由体操一项并未能表现优雅。中国男团胜在每个项目都发挥平均,无意外的捍卫着金牌。

夺金的那一刻,老将们压抑已久的情绪再也压制不住,个个泪流满脸。想象他们四年的努力肯定很不容易,才可以这样平稳的夺金。这样精彩的表演,才是中国体操男团!

李宗伟,加油!



最受瞩目的男单决赛
李宗伟 vs 林丹

李宗伟昨晚以21-18,13-21,21-13成功打败了韩国的李炫一,成功晋级决赛。在进入第二局的时候,大家都为李宗伟捏把冷汗,非常担心他会丢失了晋级决赛的好机会。再加上他疲态百出,真的非常让人担忧。还好,最后他还是拼命地把机会夺回,成功进入决赛,对决林丹。

两名世界第一和第二的对抗,想必明晚会让我们看最精彩的比赛吧!

李宗伟和林丹对打纪录如下:

06年1月22日 全英公开赛 林丹

06年6月18日 马来西亚公开赛 李宗伟

06年6月25日 中国台北公开赛 林丹

06年7月23日 澳门公开赛 林丹

06年9月2日 中国香港公开赛 林丹

07年6月14日 苏迪曼杯赛 李宗伟

07年7月15日 中国大师赛 林丹

07年9月16日 日本超级赛 李宗伟

07年12月2日 中国香港超级赛 林丹

08年3月16日 瑞士超级赛 林丹

08年5月15日 汤姆斯杯赛 李宗伟

11次对决,李宗伟胜4,林丹胜7

李宗伟的杀球有力而精准,可惜看得出来他的体力稍差,有点替他担心。林丹体力很好,身材高大,再加上主场的优势,确实占了上风。希望,李宗伟可以以最好的状态,最稳定的心理,战胜林丹,为马来西亚摘下历史性的第一面金牌。

李宗伟,让林丹再次见识你的利害吧!

后记: 林丹是第一名不讨人喜欢的中国男单。在搜寻李宗伟和林丹的照片是不小心看见了一篇部落格,更是让人觉得林丹着人格不好。还是李宗伟好!

我看羽球,我看谢顺吉

谢顺吉退休后打咖啡广告


马来西亚和羽球是篇长远的历史,而我看羽球,正从谢顺吉年代开始。可能也因为这样,我非常喜欢他。相信大马人都非常喜欢他,尤其1992年,羽球队为马来西亚摘下了汤杯,也是至今的最后一枚汤杯。

很喜欢谢顺吉和苏明强的配搭,虽然偶尔(是经常啦!)谢顺吉发脾气然后二人在场上吵架,可是总是仍可以发挥默契。

女双教练


对于谢顺吉的退休,是没办法的事,在球场上打滚了这么多年,搭档也换了不少,“年事已高”,也是时候“退役”。退休之后,谢顺吉担当起女双教练。在他的教导之下,女双进步不少,从无人问津,渐渐在大大小小的比赛都可以看见马来西亚女单女双的踪影。虽然还为至于赢得大赛的奖牌,她们的进步却让国人渐渐注意她们,再也不让男单男双独当一面。这些,谢顺吉功不可没。

可惜后来他离开了羽总。所幸的事,他仍是担当羽球教练

谢顺吉退休后,我总是觉得男双就此失去光芒。至到古健杰和陈文宏在亚运会的精彩表现,我又觉得男双有望!当然,那是Rexy的功劳。

谢顺吉,是我的偶像!

Lee Chong Wei into Semifinal

Lee Chong Wei marched into semifinal in Men's Single. He'll be playing against Korean Lee Hyunil on 6.30pm 15/08/2008.

I am glad that he marched into semifinal without much difficulties, let's hope that he will perform at his best in semifinal, and hopefully, final!

Keep my fingers crossed!

Please give him support!!

(Ai Mei and I will be showing support by going to Ching Siang's place after work tomorrow :D)

My Heart Shattered...

My 2006 Doha Heroes


KKK & TBH lost!

My heart was pumping hard for the past half an hour, for Koo and Tan. They defeated the Indonesian first pair in Doha in 2006. I watched the game, with hope that they will win again, to defeat the world no.1 and march to their RM1million.

But, they broke the Malaysians' heart.

Koo and Tan are good players, but I think they need to improve on their mental preparation. Maybe they're just not matured enough compared to the Indon pair.

There's one thing that I must say, the 18th point from Indonesian was UNFAIR! The shuttle was out of the line!!! Heck!!! I HATE THEM!! HATE THE UMPIRE!!!

In conclusions, heart broken and shattered on the floor.


Please support our only hope, Lee Chong Wei at 11.30am tomorrow.

The Hope

Just when I thought we could celebrate Wong Choong Hann's victory against Taufik Hidayat, and expecting him to be able to march into R8 smoothly. He LOST!

I managed to catch the game of Choong Hann vs Taufik before I left home to Singapore on Monday night. It was a great match, and I'm proud of Choong Hann to be able to beat Taufik, one of the greatest player of this era. I thought I was going to blog about it when I'm free, until I found out that, he was defeated by Taiwan player, Xie Yu Xing. Never expected that! As for the previous victory, I'll just let Ying Ying do the reporting.


To think at the bright side, at least Taufik is no longer in the game. One strong enemy down!

Lee Chong Wei will have to take bigger and heavier pressure now as his teammate had failed to make his way. Chong Wei will have to defeat Sony from Indonesia so that he can march into semifinal. Based on the statistics, Chong Wei defeated Sony 4 times in total 6 times of matches againts each other. Let's hope for the best from Chong Wei! We'll always support you!!!

Lee Wan Wah & Chong Tan Fook, despite of being top 4 in the rank, had been defeated by the Korean pair last night. I have to say I'm not too disappointed, as they have not been great. Koo Keng Kiat & Tan Boon Heong on the other hand, will face the world No.1 Indonesian pair tonight 9.30pm. KKK & TBH had shocked the world in Doha, to defeat the world No. 1 pair. Can they do that again? I sure hope they will!

It's so hard to be badminton players in Malaysia, as they're always the only hope for medals.

Can they write a new page in Malaysia sports history to acheive the first gold medal after decades of participation?

Let's pray and give full support!~

World Record, Everyday?

I really wonder how he made it, to break world record, EVERYDAY ever since the swimming events of Beijing Olympic 2008 started.

Phelps had won his 5th gold medal. He's getting closer and closer to his goal, 8 gold medals in Olympic 2008. I'm looking forward to that. Not because I'm his fans, just simply a reason to celebrate a GREAT athlete of the year!

I've been following closely to the finals that he's swimming in everyday. And he never stop surprising the world with more and more records.

I wonder how would it be, if Ian Thorpe competes in this games as well. It would be such an interesting competition, wouldn't it?

Olympic 2008


Beijing Olympic 2008 had finally opened all the eyes of foreigners!

I know I can never missed opening ceremony. Hence, on Friday, I took a day leave and left Singapore on Thursday night, to make sure, on Friday 8.08pm, I'm at home. Needless to say, by now everybody should know how fantastic the opening ceremony was.
It's an important event to China, it's an important event to all the Chinese all around the world! Everybody has been waiting for years, for the 8.08pm moment. And they've made it, they've made it wonderfully. I'm so delighted!

In just 3 days, Michael Phelps had already broken Olympic and World record and of course, won his first gold medal, pushing his way to his goal 8 gold medals. Park Taehwon from Korea had surprised everybody too, by winning 400m freestyle. This 18 year old young boy has his way to go...
Michael Phelps


Park Tae-hwan

All Malaysians' had been betting all the hopes onto one person's shoulder, Lee Chong Wei. I just discovered from wikipedia that this 26 year old young man studied in Jit Sin Primary (B) just like me! :D (No wonder he's so good!) He had jut won his way to Men Singles R16 by taking down Ronald Susilo from Singapore straight set! I'm so happy for him! But he still has a long way to go...

恩恩长大了

我的小弟长大了,今天十六岁。

时间过得真快,偶尔回家翻看相簿,看见弟弟小时候可爱得不得了的模样,仿佛只是刚刚的过去。弟弟小时候是我的“玩具”,因为他很好奇,所以,不管想跟他玩什么,做些什么,他都“无怨无悔”的奉陪到底。

还记得我离开槟城到新加坡念书的时候,弟弟哭了。害我也哭得挺惨的。虽然青少年一个,处在叛逆时期的他,却还是很听家人的话,同我们感情还是这么的好。姐姐念大学的时候,弟弟和我就是各自的玩伴。虽然年龄相差九岁,可是一点都不影响我们像普通姐弟一样吵吵闹闹。唯一不一样的就是,我们从来都没打架。

现在他可长大了,再也不是“无怨无悔”的。可是,他还是我那可爱的弟弟!

恩恩,生日快乐!
