quite a few things on my mind right now

1) Breaking Dawn

Hm. How shall I put it? It's not my favourite book but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Somehow I'm pretty satisfied with the end. Call me idealistic or unrealistic but a happy ending works with me. Anyhow, it isn't unbelievable or over-the-top fairytale. In fact, if you ask me, the characters have gone through enough turmoil and torture in the book. One thing I have misgivings about - Renesmee's speech. I know she's supposed to be progressing rapidly but I can't picture a little girl talking that way. It's pretty strange. In this book there are some really good parts where really couldn't put the book down. Strangely, I like Jacob better in this book, probably cos you see things from his perspective in the middle portion. I like Bella slightly more too cos you can't help but sympathise with someone who's in pain (though she asked for it) and who loves all the wrong things.

I think Breaking Dawn would make a pretty good movie actually. I foresee a lot of CG though. Let's see if they turn the Twilight saga into the next big movie series.

I'm now reading The Host. Its really pretty interesting. Stephenie Meyer takes on a new tone of voice.

2) Phelps and his eighth gold

The guy is phenomenal, I must admit. And damn lucky. He did work very hard to get to where he is and let's hope he continues keeping up that standard.

3) Singapore vs China Table Tennis Gold match

okay we lost. dang. Singapore probably stood no chance against China anyway. We had like world no.6 & 7 against world no.1 & 2. talk about competition. Still, it was a pretty hair-raising match. At least we get a medal. Should be satisfied. Wonder if Singapore's ever getting a gold medal at the olympics.

4) Scotland penguin receives knighthood

Nils Olav, the mascot for the elite Norwegian King's Guard, waddled into the history books Friday as the penguin was knighted at the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland.

Its so unbelievable isn't it? and so adorable :D See this article for details

5) something I can't remember anymore

shit. I hate it when I suffer from NTM (no term memory for the less informed) I probably got this condition from hanging out too much with long-term sufferers like huiyi and amanda.

off to sleep and i cannot believe that

6) CHEM SPA IS FIRST BLOCK TOMORROW dammit
