A new [immortal] Olympian has come. It has been 36 years before the stunning title has been replaced by a new honour.8 gold medals in the already-famous 0808080808 Beijing Olympic Games.
MICHAEL PHELPS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS FOR SETTING THE NEW STANDARD!!!! YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR GOAL FOR HUMAN IMMORTALITY!!!!
Let's see how many years it will take to destroy his feat.
Geez, this guy actually threw his shoes!!!!
Proud moment in semis. Agony in finals.
Lee Chong Wei Lost To Lin Dan again! Very disappointing. Right from the start, we could already see that Lee Chong Wei was overpowered by China's Lin Dan. The noisy Chinese crowd, chorusing “Lin Dan Jia You - 林丹加油” every few seconds wasn't really much of a help to Chong Wei. I don't get how come during EVERY OTHER OCCASION, we all hear the universal "Malaysia Boleh", but when some competition comes up, we all go into silent mode. I think Lee Chong Wei wanted to hear Malaysia Boleh but we can all see that " Malaysia TIDAK boleh kata 'Malaysia Boleh!' ". It means that Malaysia couldn't say 'Malaysia can do it!'. Not much of support we Malaysians gave him. After all, some funny people like my mother would want to support their country of origin. And as we all know, all Chinese came from China.....Chong Wei only managed a silver medal in the badminton men’s singles after losing to Lin Dan 12-21, 8-21.
He just couldn't keep to himself and succumbed to Lin Dan's crazy strategy. Play near the net, and always aim for the other side of the court (which is unguarded) when smashing. It's OK, Mr Lee. After all, you still get RM300,000.00 in your pocket. All the best and keep up your training and trash Lin Dan in the next meet. Unless either of you decide to retire.........
Silver medal for Chong Wei
BEIJING: Lee Chong Wei won the silver medal in the badminton men’s singles after losing in the final to China’s Lin Dan 12-21, 8-21.
The world No 2 lost in two straight sets, faltering to Lin Dan, who remains the top men’s singles shuttler in the world.
In previous clashes between the two, Lin Dan had won nine times while Chong Wei had won five times.
The last time a Malaysian shuttler won a medal at the Olympics was in Atlanta in 1996 when Rashid Sidek took the bronze in the men’s singles and Cheah Soon Kit-Yap Kim Hock won the silver for the men’s doubles.
Rashid’s brothers Razif and Jailani won Malaysia’s first Olympic medal in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992 when they won a bronze in the men’s doubles.
Chong Wei got to the final by beating South Korean Lee Hyun-il, 21-18, 13-21, 21-13, while Lin Dan defeated fellow countryman Chen Jin in the semi-final, 21-12 , 21-18.
Despite failing to get the gold medal, Chong Wei is set to obtain RM300,000 from the Government for winning the silver medal. The Government had promised RM1mil as an incentive to any athlete who returns with an Olympic gold medal; RM300,000 for silver and RM100,000 for bronze.

I followed Alex to Petrosains today. Her parents and her grandparents went along too. She came to pick me up around 10.45am. My violin's E string broke just before she arrived. So great. Couldn't care less. Just followed Alex to Petrosains. We went to her housing area first. Couldn't get a look at her house. She got her Universe picture book with her handling gloves. Note that the gloves are to prevent sweaty hands from touching the premises of the great book of the universe's pics. We took the LRT from Taman Bahagia station to KLCC. When we reached there, we went to buy the tickets immediately. Then, we had a quick lunch and went walking around for a 
while. We saw the MPO/MPYO hall (not the place they perform...). We rushed back to Petrosains to "begin our adventure". It was a whole day full of nonsense and talking. We also went Craze-E about Wall-E. We went for the gigantic slide in Petrosains twice each. This time, you could go on it as many times as you want (I think). OK, now let the pictures do the talking, because if I talk, the story'll never end.
Experiencing a not-so-experienced hurricane. Incomparable to H. Katrina.
You see it, but it's not there. Poke it but you can't feel it. It's a GHOST!!!!!!
Infinity: I'm glad the pic above is a bit dark. It blocks out the obtrusive details. Overall, my favourite pic.
Somehow, the colours from the 2 different-coloured M&Ms don't mix to form green.
Note that a rainbow-like thingy is formed around the bottom.
Not a very formal introduction. VIPs would despise such monkeys sabotaging the place.
Jupiter along with some light effects I did not acquire from Photoshop.
Alexandria's dad's karate chop. Ouch!! That's gotta hurt.
This was achieved by waving at the speed detector. I waved at the one on the left while Alex waved at the one on the right. Nice number.
To be fast in skiing, we need to pose like crazy people. I squatted down, but there was no pic of it.That's it. All out.
