Singapore won a silver for olympics table tennis team women! yup. watching the singapore flag raised at the victory ceremony roused mixed feelings in me. I'm singaporean. of course it's nice to see our flag there. And then suddenly this thought came to my mind: Do those ladies, whom hometown is China, even know how to sing our national anthem? When they were listening to the China anthem being played, i was almost expecting them to sing along since I'm sure they know it better than the singapore anthem.
Anyway, to other people like my brother and zac, winning is a waste of tax payers money. which is quite true la. it's definitely not a small sum of money.

Today, I was at the ever crowded food court at school. Then while i was going to go get food, someone elbowed me roughly. Turning my head to see who it was, it was a lady, and she was totally oblivious that she just elbowed me. And she speaking in rapid fire chinese with the native chinese accent, to her friends. i think i dont need to say anymore.
I complained about it to Shunxie. And she said, "ya their form of 'excuse me' is like that one." hmph! And she's young like us. not some grumpy auntie you see in the market.
