nice one, pui san: 1s03Pui... looks very much like it now though.... ahaha

well i still visit your class blog, as long as i noticed on my dashboard this blog is updated, then i will come n see see! :) used to be ching hui who's the residence author, seems like he has handed over to pui san haha...

haha i was shocked by the IOC decision too! ok, i admit, i never really knew much abt the IOC evaluation earlier on, the preparations the different countries and the strengths and weaknesses of each blah blah.... but i always knew that paris was a hot favourite, thanks to the extensive media coverage in singapore. haha... well, i guess, it always happens huh? hot favourite defeated by the (black) horses and the (under)dogs... at olympic games, at euro 2004 (Greeks!) etc.... nothing can be taken for granted, which makes this world so interesting by creating sweet surprises and awful shocks, tears and cheers, disappointment and jubilance, disillusions and hopes! How boring would the world be if everything is expected and predictable! :)

oh no... tt sounds crappy. :P

On a side note, i found it interesting abt the media coverage of IOC this time. The hype that surrounds this HUGE event that took place in a small country! Being the toad in my well, i never knew paris bidded 2 times before this :P but hey, now, 9 out of 10 ppl in spore probably knew the exact no. of vote london and paris got in the last voting round! haha isnt media just biased? they decide what the readers/viewers will get to know. and the media is like sheep. u only need just ONE paper to start reporting on sth in one small corner in one page which could attact a sizeable number of ppl to notice, then the demand is created, then maybe one other paper will follow, then more ppl notice, then more demand, then more papers will join in the coverage, and then they compete to give more space to the incident/event and then finally that event will become BIGGEST event of the month/year that you cannot afford to not know. haha... that's how it works for any famous present stars you can think of, no?

oh no, i've talked rubbish again. gah.

oh anyway, i'm back at rj (if u still do not know haha)! but only 2 weeks la... and now i really am true to my job title "relief teacher" -- i am really relieving a teacher's classes for the first time... haha... =P see ya ard! (sry for this long post :S)
