Olympics: Table Tennis

Singapore's top table tennis player Li Jiawei lost both the semi-final and bronze medal playoff matches. Once again, Singapore is without her first Olympics medal since 1960. So close and yet so far. Well, Li Jiawei played admirably. She worked hard and played her best. All she lacked was a bit of luck. Hope she recovers from the losses and tries her best again 4 years later.

Spam? Scam?

Once again, annually without fail, Reader's Digest has sent me a letter notifying me that I have been the selected few that are eligible for their S$125,000 sweepstakes. Then they will always send me a reply form to ask me to subscribe to their magazines. It seems that I will never win anything if my reply is 'no'. Come to think of it, I never heard of any winners being announced so far. Is this form of publicity and advertising legal? Don't the relevant authorities look into such things?

Poor Lizard...

A story:
I went to the kitchen in the middle of the night for a drink. Just as I was at the entrance of the kitchen, I heard a crackling sound. I switched on the light and saw to my horror that my wheel-chair has ran over a small lizard. It was the lizard that always came out to roam around the house. I was sort of used to it roaming around that I never thought of it not getting out of our way. Guess I was wrong. Poor thing, it had its guts all spilled out.

Moral of the story:
Never come out in the dark to roam unless you have night vision.
