Olympics

Today i saw a news article that said we won 2 bronze and 1 silver at Paralympics to date. But how come the publicity is not as much as Olympics? So strange.. During Olympics, news were featured everyday.. People all watching our table tennis team finals.. I even skipped work to watch.. But nobody seems to care about Paralympics. So sad for these contestants..

Anyway, after Olympics, i also haven’t heard about my favourite sportsman - Michael Phelps.. I kind of missed the days when i watched his matches and news daily.. Heehee.. Super impressive swimmer and cute somemore.. :p

Actually Olympics was not about Phelps only.. I felt that gymnastics were very interesting too.. I like the Russian (now American) girl.. So pretty.. The synchronize diving was super nice too.. Though i don’t really like Guo Jing Jing but i realised she is quite popular..

That time, i also accidentally watched the badminton finals.. I like the Malaysian player when he played with our player.. But when i watched him playing in the finals, i felt that the Chinese player was so much better then him.. This Lin Dan guy was super amazing.. Though Hwee Hoon said he looked very stuck up but i think he was really very handsome.. I heard that even Faye Wong likes him.. So cool huh.. I read his report that said he chased his girlfriend (also badminton player) since 15 years old.. So sweet.. Love at 1st sight even though the girl is older..

I am so into this year Olympics, i think is coz the organiser is China.. This is the 1st time i watch Olympics and i think i will continue to support it in future.. :)

Apple iphone

Last month, i am so hooked in selling stuff.. I sold my nokia 7390, olympus FE190, sony W910i.. Though i didnt earn much, at least i won't feel so guilty to buy a new canon camera and an iphone..

Talking about iphone, it was so irritating.. I have to queue 4 hours to buy it even though i have booked an appointment to collect it.. No choice, who asked me to be so kia su to collect on the 1st day.. But luckily Singtel was quite custumer orientated.. They provided us with curry puff, tibits, mineral water, muffins etc.. I even got chocolate while waiting for my phone to load my SIM card.. Before i left, they even offered me a Singtel-iphone umbrella.. At least, customers won't complain, knowing that Singtel really made an effort to make our wait less tiring..

But Shuyun was the most poor thing.. Deliberately meet me for dinner but end up, couldn't even see me face to face coz the queue was all blocked up.. In the end, she got to go back first..

After getting the iphone, i realised it is as "un-user friendly" as what all the reviews said.. I just don't understand why they have to force us to buy ringing tone from itune store? And the stupid phone cannot read my SIM card.. I have to key in all my contacts manually.. Somemore, i am a great fan of Cruz's morning programme.. How can iphone doesn't have the radio feature? When i went Taipei for the Nike Human Race, i even realised that my phone doesn't have the video feature too... So sad.. I didn't even manage to record the super nice concert held after the race.. Then also, Kyle told me that it didnt has the forward sms feature too.. Luckily this is not a feature that is too important to me.. Anyway, hopefully i can find another better phone so that i can sell away my iphone..

Any recommendation?
