Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal symptoms is already kicking in when swimming ended last sunday... but I am slightly relieved because it's really awfully painful to wake up at 10am every morning to catch my Phelps in action... I only wake up so early for him!

Anyway, there is nothing for me to blog about. Been watching athletics here and here, along with diving and rhythmic gymnastics. Usain Bolt is crazy... and I have caught the commentator saying "The Lightning Bolt Usain Bolt" which is really lame. And seeing Tyson Gay crashing out in 100m semis is unbelieveable. Anyway, rhythmic gymnastics is really cool! I am lucky to be able to catch it on cable because channel 5 doesn't show it.. Have been neglecting the rest of my stuff as usual. My timetable only includes going to school and coming back home to watch olympics and just olympics! But I promised myself that I will start everything once olympics is over...

By the way, this is the cover of Sports Illustrated. The mighty Michael Phelps is on cover with his 8 medals (before he even return to US, which means it is shot in Beijing!)... this cover is trying to copy the Mark Spitz's cover when he won his 7 olympics gold medals donkey years ago.... It's a wonder how he doesn't bend forward with the weight of those 8 golds! Lol! But it's a great cover! Anything that has him bare-chested... Despite the recent craze has been Usain Bolt, I still think Phelps is the man of this Games but I am biased =D


Will blog soon again.

Cheerios.
