Yesterday was Subject Registration Day and was so darned disappointed that they scrap Forensic Science. Now if you ask me, I'd scrap Astro there and then without a doubt. Waiting for add-drop period now so that I can change my elective choice no. 1 from Physics in Sports (yeah after watching Asian Games really jolts me back into sports again) to Japanese Language Lvl 1. Must chiong during add-drop period!

Okay, forget shitty academic stuff. It's the Asian Games 2006 that's waaaaaaaaay more important!

Singapore Headlines: Li Tao clinched Gold in 50m Butterfly!!! GOLD dammit!!! And she broke the Asian record!!! Watching the victory ceremony, our flag right smack in the middle and slowly rising up and our national anthem playing in the background, man that was so...inspiring. Against the likes of giants Japan and China!!! And she's only 17! And Singapore's shuttler Xing Aiying matched up against S.Korea's Hwang H.Y. in the women's badminton singles quarter-finals, we lost by one game, but that was helluva match. And if you ask me or that VERY ENTHUSIASTIC commentator last night, Ai Ying really played waaaay better than the Korean, she made some minor mistakes here and there and that cost us the game I guess. BUT, Ai Ying's skills is SUPER AWESOME! I love her drops and her backhand sides! See below picture for her signature backhand sides, really take the life outta her opponents man! She's my badminton idol and she's only 17 years old for Doha's sake! And we clinched Silver Medal for bowling, still have more to offer from our bowlers. Girls clinched Gold for bowling few days ago. All the way Team Singapore (eee kinda cheesy)!

Something really sad happened though, the 47 year old S.Korean rider competing in the Equestrian Games died after he fell from his steed. His neck was reportedly crushed under pressure from the horse. It was raining then and it was really muddy and stuff and horsey kinda lose his/her footing, leading to his/her rider's death. Really sad, can you imagine the impact of death in the Asian Games? And it actually occured within a matter of seconds, and there's nothing you can do to stop it, really. I guess they could well have prevented that tragedy from happening, they could have revised the conditions of the pitch and postpone that segment? *sighs* I guess stuff like these do happen even today, I mean you'd expect stuff like these happen almost regularly in the primal times during the early years of the Olympics or something. Condolences to his friends and family. I hope they don't put horsey to sleep though. It was really muddy and gooey all over.

Been following the Asian Games and today's the most dramatic and happening so far. More games and medals to come~ =D
