good bye olympics 2012

the olympics is coming to an end in a few hours' time and i will not get to say goodbye to it properly. ;(
the closing ceremony will be shown live on tv, unfortunately the local time here will be 4 in the morning.
there is no way i am going go wake up and go online just to watch it knowing i have to go to work after that. there is no tv here, so i have to rely on the website for the live stream. and with live stream, all my broadband quota will definitely finish very fast.

so i guess i will just watch it when i get to work and use the wifi in the office. gosh, i wonder whether my timetable will be really that free.

i can't wait to see all the british performances which have been lined up for the closing. i think everyone is waiting in anticipation to see another brilliant ceremony. do they have best sportsman and sportswoman for the olympics?? will there be samba girls too since brazil will be the next host and i think there is a segment for them in the closing.

there will be no more chasing results and selecting games and matches to watch on the youtube official channel. the last and most exciting 4 x 100m men relay was a good climax for athletics. what a run by the jamaicans and in world record time. they totally blew everyone away thanks to the last 2 legs by yohan blake and usain bolt. i think bolt dashed all the way till the last milimetre. not even his 100m is as tense. the americans really pushed them. so a little competition in life is a good thing.

i am feeling much better now after the bout of 'i am sick' / 'i am not so sick' period. workload has reduced considerably last week and this week will be better since it is pre-holiday already.
yup, one week break. no plan at all. i hope i get to go for another short break. hmm....who to go with? aaarrrgghh!!! alone? don't want lah. it will make me depressed and conscious of my solitary state.

going to call it a night now. it is a cool night after the rain in the evening. i will miss the olympics. salute to all the athletes who have shown me what our human body can do and motivate me to do something with mine. they make me wanna run and do my training and sweat it out. i will maintain this mode for a while to get fit again. thanks to all the volunteers too who have made it such a wonderful game and ensure the smooth running of all events. if only i could join them. thanks to all coaches who do not cheat in the process of grooming a winner. thanks to fair judging to ensure only the fairest win. thanks to all spectators who cheer for winners and losers and making sure there are no losers at all in all the matches.

good night and good bye london.
