OLYMPICS

I am burning with a 45 degrees celcius fever...

OLYMPIC FEVER!!

=D
Olympic fever has certainly hit all of us! I've never felt so INTO THE OLYMPICS before! maybe its because the host country is so near to us. And congrats Beijing! I think they did a splendid job for the opening ceremony. They've really put in so much effort to make this event perfect! Aren't we all proud of them!

Yes anyway, i've really enjoyed watching these events- SWIMMING, GYMNASTICS AND OF COURSE, TABLE TENNIS!

I think the Singapore ping pong team really did awesome-ly. HAHA. Finally, a medal! they must be feeling sooo goooood.

As for gymnastics, man, my jaw never fails to drop when I see the gymnasts do their twirls and spins and jumps and flips. I really love love love the gymnastics. But so far I've only seen the artistic gymnastics. and man,

I LOVE NASTIA LIUKIN! GOLD MEDALLIST FOR WOMEN'S ALL AROUND INDIVIDUAL A. GYMNASTICS!
The newspapers really put it right- she is long, lean, effortlessly graceful and of impeccable parentage. I think so too man. Most gymnasts train so hard they become rather chunky with all the muscles but Nastia is sooo lean!! She has a beautiful body! Oh man I wish i had her body. She seems so skinny but you can see she's really strong. And her lines are awesome. So graceful, and yeah, perhaps the newspapers was right again when they said this is the closest gymnastics has to royalty.
She truly is the gymnastics queen and I'm really inspired by her. (Um, to do what exactly? Not to become a gymnast like her la, although I'd really love to. But maybe, she's showed me how to perservere, through her tough trainings-36 hours a week ok!, and through her falls and failures.)

I think Shawn Johnson is really great too! She's really powerful, and though she's shorter than Nastia and cuter..=P, she really delivers those flips and turns with lotsa power and precision.

Bottom Line is..I LOVE THOSE GYMNASTS AND THE GYMNASTICS EVENTS!

And swimming, yeah duh Phelps Phelps Phelps! He really is great. And I think his style and body shape really helps him a lot. Plus his training and everything. he is just WOW.

Yes Olympics really is cool. But at the same time, you see all the hardship the athletes have to go through, and their utmost determination and perserverance!

Ahh! I'm so sad the games are gonna end this weekend. =(
Quick go grab as much olympic fever as u can right now!
