Recently my blog has been getting mega huge hits compared to what it normally gets.
Why? Is it because my blog is getting around the virtual neighbourhood? nope. Its because of one fella. A very popular fella. Check out my search results for the past 2 days lol.
The olympics has been playing on the tube for the majority of the time these past couple of weeks. I have seen athlete after athlete succeed and go beyond their expectations but i have also seen a number of athletes unfortunately fail miserably (considering the level of competition they are at).
But just the other night I found out something that I had actually been thinking about… Has China ever won a medal in track and field? And I am 4 years late but China has won 1 medal and at the Athens 2004 games won its first every gold in the 110m hurdles by a fella known as Liu Xiang.
But the story doesn’t end so nicely this time around. Liu Xiang, the pride of China said to be an even bigger star than Yao Ming pulled out after a false start of the heats of the 110m hurdles due to an achillies tendon injury before the games even started. This guy carried the pride of a Nation and didn’t carry through.
Some are in shock, disbelief and disappointment while others pour out their support for this young guy. I for one take my hat off to this guy. Imagine carrying the pressure and expectations of 1.3 billion people, this is a whole new level of peer pressure, it would have been impressive if he went through with it but it was courageous to pull out of it. I think it would be easy to beat this guy down for failing but the aussie spirit says ‘good on ya mate, you tried ya hardest so we’ll get em next time’
In year 12 this motivational speaker came to school and one thing he told us to do was to create a list of 100 things you want to do before you die.
Ok so me being sushi master of procrastination… i never got around to doing it or atleast i think i got up to 10 and forgot.
So i am hoping to start compiling a list of things i want to do before i die. Will post it up when i get there =D haha
Another thing i plan to do is to rearrange my room. I like the position of my bed but would prefer a wall, for some reason i feel really comfortable leaning against a wall while i sleep. So will post up pictures of when i rearrange my room … if i do.. =D
