NYCD 2012

The women and men team events are well underway. I may sound baised here but its Singapore only hopes of a medal ! Anyway , here are the countries that have qualified for the Women Team SEMIS : China, Singapore, United States, Austria, Japan and South Korea. The big unknown is in Group C , Hong Kong, Romania & Poland are fighting for the two spots left. For the men , the following have qualified, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Japan & Hong Kong. Still all is to play for in groups A & B .

Malaysian World No. 2 , Lee Chong Wei defeated Singapore's Ronald Susilo earlier this evening, 21-13 , 21-14 .

Oh yea ! Tom Daley is HOT ? XD

Ahhh yes... Singapore finished 5th while it would have been nice to see her win a medal, 5th isn't bad. Perhaps in London 2012 !

USA won the match 101:70 . I have to admit China's No 9 , Sun Yue is hot !

Singapore might actually have a chance in winning a medal in the pool ! Singapore's Tao Li finished 3rd in her heat and 4th overall in the Women's 100m Butterfly semifinals today ! The finals will be held tomorrow.

Same here ! My laptop is running out of juice anyway.

I wondering if they going to have giant mascots like there was for Misha in 1980.

I guessing theres at least half-an-hour more of performance before the atletes come out.

Is the piano vibrating on the screen ?!

Is the piano vibrating on the screen ?!

They look like giant chopsticks or paddles.

You're right ! Are those robots ?

Those square-ish things look like Mahjong tiles, a chinese way of gambling !

Now the paper in floating ! Are those men wearing giant paintbrushes on their heads ?

Its a film about paper making now ... a chinese invention. Ohhh and there caligraphy as well.

Now that you mentioned it ....

Those rings are floating now ! Whar are they ? Kites ? Lanterns ?

Those footprint fireworks is an interesting presentation .

True. Just a few more minutes...

Singapore's flag barrier will be Lee Jia Wei, a table tennis player. One thing ironic is she was born in Beijing. She narrorly missed out on a bronze in Athens four years ago. Hopefully , she'll win a medal in Beijing !
