Woohoo! Olympics craze!
China just scored with another three Golds from what I know... Men's Saber Fencing (last night, 12/8), Men's Synchronised Diving (This afternoon, most diving events are shown at 2:25pm on the 601-606 channels) and Shooting (Also this afternoon). They're like winning everything this year.
Went home together with Bingrui and Cailyn today. Bingrui was totally excited about Synchronised Diving (and so was I because I think it's really cool). We started talking about the China Divers while queuing up during lunch XP China's divers are just so good!!! For today's event (Men's 3m Synchronised diving), during the 5th round (2nd last), the commentators were like "China's just got to get into the water to win this thing". And they did, they won by quite a large margin too, about 50 points or so if I am not wrong (!!!!!!)... Good news for one of the Chinese divers for he slipped up during the Athens Olympics in 2004 and this time, BAM! Gold! USA unfortunately missed a medal for the 9th year running... Some teams really screwed up the last dive others on the other hand did really well, the Chinese team scored about 94 for their final jump which is freaking high! I have to admit that I kinda dozed off somewhere during the third jump (hey, I was tired) but I still think this event's cool.
Also watched Equestrian yesterday. Didn't know riding a horse and jumping over something has such a complex name. Seriously speaking, if I just saw the name alone, I would not have known what it was. The name sort of reminded me of Curling, to be honest (Curling's really cute, especially when the brooms are involved but it's more to the "thinking" side, i.e. It involves a lot of thinking, it's played during the Winter Olympics). I did not really watch much because I was more interested by this show on Nat Geog which was trying to fool a lie detector. However I do remember this one competitor, a girl, small-sized I'd say with her horse Rock Model. They were really fast, faster than the two male competitors in front of her (Whom I also thought was good). Equestrian is like a rider-and-horse bonding session but of course, it's harder than it looks...
I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!

Hey Michelle, I noticed you said you were tired while watching the Olympics. A lot of people are since they've been showing it on TV so late! :[
I've been watching them late too, but I'm not really tired since I've been taking 6 Hour Power energy shots. Have you ever tried one?
These drinks don't end with a crash like some other energy drinks do. They also have no sugar or calories, and come in 5 different flavors. Check them out at www.6hrpower.com
By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog. I think you might want to try them to avoid being tired. I work with them, so feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
