olympics

Olympics is nice to watch. Especially love the slow-mo replays. Can see the fit torsos of the athletes with their muscles in motion. hahaha... Also, I really admire the athletes. Train for so many years just for that short moment (or even few seconds) where they have to deliver their best. 真的是台上十分钟，台下十年功!!

I think most SIngaporeans watched the match last night. It was really exciting. My first time watching a table-tennis match actually. I find it quite amazing. Even though my family & I don't watch sports (& don't even bother about it), don't even mention keeping ourselves updated about the Singapore team, but last night, all of us just sat together to cheer on for the Singapore table tennis team. the last time we did that was during World Cup - the Korean match i think. & I think it's even more amazing that the whole Singapore would come together & talk abt it, and cheer the team on. The best part is that my family and I had always been cynical about this foreign talent thingy, but when it comes to the critical moment, we still gave them our full support. I guess it must have been hard on them... returning to their hometown but not playing for their hometown. thanks girls! 辛苦了！

can't prioritise

Sigh.. donno wat's wrong with me... can't focus at all.. doing things i'm not supposed to be doing... can't prioritise... can't help it.. sigh.. ok after this post.. will get back to wat i'm supposed to do...

Coldplay's new album, Viva la VIda, is really quite good. When I first listened, I disliked it, but after giving it a few spins, I thought the songs were quite "refreshing" for Coldplay haha... seems grander with stronger string arrangments, more "electronical", and another thing is it's a little "oriental". Still think they will sound really good live. Hope they'll come again.

place in life?

Got scolding by customer first thing in the morning. Still a little traumatised.

The antipsychotic is driving me nuts.. almost...

sodagreen... sodagreen... soda soda soda green.... how I wish I was still there now... or forever there...

But it made me think about myself. Seeing them being so absorbed and so enjoying what they're doing, and better still being so good at wat they're doing (Ah Gong with the piano/viola, Qingfeng with his mesmerising & superb vocals, Jia Kai with his guitar gimmicks, Ah Fu with his rhythmic strummings, Xinyi with her cool basslines, Xiao Wei with his strong & metronome-like drumbeats) made me wonder.... They have really all found their place in life. Have I and will I ever find my place? Have you found your place in life?

Back to the concert... I felt that I didn't enjoy myself as much as I did during their 1st concert here last year. Maybe cos' we expected more from them, especially when their Taiwan concert was like 5 hours with 7 encores? hmmm.... Still didn't feel as high as I expected.. but nevertheless, it was fun swaying to their songs, and enjoying their banter on stage, & during the encore running to the front & being so close to them! Qingfeng's vocal prowess is still super amazing, & like wat my friends said - his control. His control over his vocals... Excellent. He REALLY is talented. Also, Ah Fu is cute! He just kept smiling throughout the whole concert. Very happy-go-lucky guy. The small string orchestra was a great experience too. Wonderful! Love sodagreen!
