so much to do, so little time

it is an extended weekend. monday is public holiday. yippee- it is nuzul al-quran.
but my 3 days are already filled with all sorts of work-related activities.
papers to mark, books to mark and marks to be keyed-in in one of the stupidest and slowest apps and online system.
so far, i have only finished one- keying in marks online. now i am in the midst of marking the stack of exam papers. i wonder if i will ever get to marking essays when the 3rd day ends. i have a feeling that it is highly unlikely. gosh, there is soo soo soo much to do!!!!

and then there is the olympics, badminton in particular.
men's doubles made our hearts break when they lost tamely to the formidable chinese pair. the 2 malaysians did not even stand a chance!
and today, there will be the play-off for bronze medal for this pair....and i hope they will be strong enough to fight the korean pair who beat them in the quarter-finals. wuhuhuhu......i am going to cry first for them because i have a feeling that the koreans are not going down fighting. i saw the koreans play the danes in the other semi-finals yesterday and they were really strong too. but of course, in the end, it was the danes who proceeded to the finals with their never-give-up attitude. i salute the danes! and i am going to be rooting for them to win the men doubles just because i don't want the chinese to have a clean sweep of every badminton title.

and yes, i predict that the chinese will take the men singles title as well coming from no other than the super dan. lee chong wei will play lin dan tonight (malaysian time) and the whole country will be rooting for chong wei of course, well yours truly too. but looking at their records, lin dan has won more than half of the matches they have ever played, and lin dan is going for the kill this time around too since it might be his last olympics. yes, it is chong wei's last olympics as well, but i am sorry to say that my confidence level for chong wei is not really that high. i am prepared for more heartbreak tonight. sob sob sob.

but of course if chong wei wins, i will be jumping for joy with him and crying tears of victory with him too. come on chong wei! go for the gold bar!!! hehehhe......that will be my shout for him. how many olympians can boast of having a gold bar added to the gold medal won in the olympics? you can retire after this and plan your fairytale wedding with your girlfriend.

so tonight, with a bit of help from twisties, bbq curry, i am going to add some spice to boost my confidence to cheer for lee chong wei.

can't wait to hear negaraku being played at wembley arena.
