He couldn't handle the pressure.
I got to give the Chinese citizens credits for their amazing support.
Lin Dan was in superb form on that day itself. His strokes were amazing, accurate, powerful. I haven't seen Lin Dan in such form for such a long time judging by how he fared in the last few months. Chong Wei on the other hand, let pressure got the better of him making so many unforced errors. What a waste and yes I haven't seen him fare so badly in such a long time considering the fact that he has the potential in winning the Olympic gold. Oh well, a silver is still something worth celebrating and be proud of. I have gotten over the lost and I am still supportive. A fan will always remain as a fan. LOL.
Besides absolutely adoring Micheal Phelps and Park Tae Hwan and so many other hunky athletes hahaha. Hey no! I'm not some perverted maniac kay. *sticks out tongue
The Olympics is officially ending today and boy it was a great one with China leading the medal tally. I am amazed. 50 gold beating the US team (35). This Olympic is sure to be remembered especially for the amazing effort of Lee Chong Wei. (He gets like 3000 bucks every month as pension and an additional 300 thousand award cash for the effort) 0_0 like wow!.
Nothing much happened lately besides completing the first wave of assignments and watching a lot of films ( Penelope, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Surf Up, and My Father (A Korean film))
Let me just talk about how great "My Father" was. This is based on a heart wrenching true story about James Parker (Gong Eun Cheol) an American adoptee searching for his real parents back in Korea. The whole film revolves around how he builds this special bond with his father (His father in on death row by comitting homicide) I will not spoil anything for anybody. Go catch the film. It's a very touching film. (7/10)

I used to think that Proms are supposed to be the night when everyone gets the opportunity to dress up/ to impress/ to look great/to enjoy a date with that special someone/to enjoy good food/to enjoy good music/ OH YEAH! and that romantic dance (I used to like the idea of dancing with Celine Dion's: Because You love me. Oh gosh how cheesy is that?0_0 Mind you. That was then.
Well, I guess it's just what happens in films. Chick flicks are supposed to makes things looks good. I had a perfect first prom during my high school period. Everything went on so well. I guess that was just how I felt at that moment. Come to think of it, I was only 17. How much would I know. moreover, it was my first prom after consuming countless of chick flicks. College's prom sucks bad but the fact that I got to know so many people while preparing the performances was great. I have never gone for any of the prom here in Monash to judge any of it.
This year's theme would be: Mardi Grass. Girls are supposed to turn up with colorful dresses and the guys are supposed to turn up looking like a hunk in a suit. I let slip of the chance of going last year due to some foolish reason.
Bought two early bird tickets last Friday considering the fact that it was the last day of early birds. Had a chance of plan. Instead of going with just one person, I am going with one whole table of people. Now who said that going without a date was a no-no? I guess everyone could enjoy the same.
The thing that kept me busy was the Beijing Olympic games. I do now cherish the television or RTM a lot. How pathetic could I be having no TV to watch during the games. haha I actually google-d on how do I stream live sporting events online. Thanks to the very kind Alex, I managed to watch the games with ease. Sopcast and TVants rules. Funny that I watched the first half of the opening ceremony in some weird foreign language. Managed to find the English version after that though. How spectacular the ceremony was! The fantastic performances, the music, the atmosphere, and how everything was brought together was just fantastic. Being a huge sports fan, I enjoyed the parade most at every opening ceremony. The pride and spirit of everyone citizens of every country is there.
Good that our badminton team live up to expectations. They are all faring well considering the fact that almost all of them managed to secure a spot at the quarter finals tomorrow. *Jumps in joy. Our archery team did pretty well too as one of them managed to get into the top five ranking out of 64 archers.
Hope for the best. May this be a golden opportunity for an Olympic gold. Alright, I'll post our more pictures the next time. Till then, have a great week everyone:)

How can anyone live like that?
I'm super frustrated to the point the I just feel like banging my head against the wall. I'm being pushed to the limit. Sigh. Why does everything have to work differently. Why can't people actually see the real actual fact. People are living in delusion. I may have this mighty patience that can withstand something for a long period of time. However, no matter how much patience I have, history repeats itself. I face the same old problem again.
Nothing much is going right. I just need at least one thing that would go on well.
I hate the fact that I'm timid. I don't do things if I have not much confidence doing. Even if I do have, it must have took a lot out of me to do it and I really meant what I did. Courage is the word. I'm too scared for my own good. I have so much of fears that I am insecure about every single thing around me.
If only I could be more aggressive, more self-expressive, more confident, things would have been much better. Now how exactly did I become like that? I guess it's accumulated over the years. Rejections, bullying, disappointments, expectations.
The fact that I don't smile much does not have anything to do with being arrogant.
I might have been a little too idealistic thinking that everything is great when the fact is that it's not.
I don't like being pushed around just because I don't say anything. Stop making use of me. I don't like confronting people neither do I like fights but don't go overboard.
I really want to be the princess living with a world full of people backing me up, looking good all the time, being popular, being sociable and being the one that everyone likes. Unfortunately, I cannot live like this. I don't want to do something I feel uncomfortable doing. No.. thats not what I want.
I do believe in what dr Yeoh said about the unconscious part of the human minds. We have been living in a world full of reasonings but what about the unconscious part of us? Hoping to do certain things but just can't do it because it is not right. We only do things within the scope of things we are taught to. We don't go beyond. I just need to write out what I feel. I don't really care if I sounded angst y or whatsoever.

Remember I said something about something exciting happening at the last post? Let me tell you what it was...'
This....
We managed to win two good view tickets for the MTV Asia Awards and a 3 days 2 nights stay at the Resort Hotel of Genting Highlands.
The Awards show was absolutely great and worth going to. It is without a doubt a once in a lifetime opportunity.
We spent the first day at the outdoor theme park and the next morning at the indoor them park before attending the awards show. Met Some familiar faces over there. Alright, I shall let the photos elaborate more on the trip. Sorry for the bad quality. The only camera I had was from my handphone and Sze used hers. I'll blog about Rachel's barbeque party next.
Part one is from Sze's camera:
Part two is from my phone:
