I watched half the table tennis match, then I went to do my homework. On hearing the announcer talking about the five stars of the flags, my instinct was not to run out to the telly to try and find out who got what, but instead I went to Channel NewsAsia's website where the results were reported ( Read more... )

They didn't eliminate anybody after poules for women's epee. There were only 16 of us -_ ( Read more... )

I'm happy when you're happy,
Even if the skies are grey -
No matter if it's raining,
Your smile will make my day.

I'm happy when you're happy,
Although I really don't know why;
Why when you laugh I giggle

And I got a message from my brother! :DDD ( Read more... )

It's nice to know that opera singers sing to recordings and sing to themselves and mime too. Here's del Monaco singing to a recording of... himself? He looks like he's doing it as if nobody's watching. Don't watch it for cool singing (because he's going all over the place and drama-ing the high notes without singing them), but watch it for the ( Read more... )

After clay target shooting sabbatical, trying to tell PW mate that certain books' topics are too general for our PW:  "They shoot wide".

Just now, hammering out an answer to the GP homework while listening to the Don Giovanni overture: "...the result of a concerted effort... they orchestrated this..."

I have celebrated the end of Block Tests in my own big way. On Friday, I hung around the canteen to find food (like the birds) then I saw Zheng! And then we talked! And then we went to Nanyang! With Annie and Chien! And then Zheng and I went to the library@esplanade! on 171 from school! Then we borrowed stuff! And I talked to Zheng a lot and she ( Read more... )
