Beijing Olympics 2008
9:45 PM
My tuition kid asked me during tuition just now, "Why the blacks run so fast?". I asked stu yesterday, "They have two categories for the 100m dash event is it?" One for the blacks and one for the whites?'
My answer to my tuition kid, "Cos the blacks race after the cheetahs, leopards and jaguars back home as a form of training." She actually believed me for that second.
Undeniably, the Jamaicans have made their mark on the world map as the fastest running humans ever. In the 100 metres Dash Mens event, a fellow Jamaican sped the 100m within 9s. In the 100 metres Dash Womens, three Jamaican heroines claimed the top three positions. Only the Jamaica flag was raised.
Watching the Olympics bring back fond memories of Sports Day back in school. Of course, what is a school Sports Day compared to Olympics. Still, I'm starting to wonder if there will be any event like Sports Day in the workplace. You might not believe it but I used to be regular participant of 100m dash & long jump and occasional guest participant for 4x100 metres relay. Haha. Laugh all you want.
Oh yes, I'm doing a vote. Should I start to grow my hair long already or keep it short? Dilemma! Help!
