sorry we’ve been slow in updating guys! it’s been pretty hectic and exciting around here (: kel and i got a much needed day off yesterday so we got to wake up slightly later and brought the two big bosses Ramesh and Suat Jien for a spot of shopping at the Morning Market (which is a whole day market really from 10am to 10pm)! my awesome bargaining prowess and had an really nice time. Suat Jien is the exec VP of mediacorp tv and she actually came down all the way t Vientiane just for one day to watch the games and how we go live in the studios, we thought that was really nice of her, she’s a lovely lady.
justin came t join us and boy did we SHOPPPPPPPPPPPPP ahahaha it was awesome man. we went for swimming in the evening, last day of swimming and it was another medal spree for Team Singapore with many more meet records set and old records broken.
i got assigned t table tennis again tday, (YAY!) and it’s once again an all Singapore finals for the singles event. Gao Ning will meet Yang Zi and Tianwei will play Yuegu. we interviewed them after their semis this morning and man did Gao Ning have some beautiful rallies with his Thai opponent who put up a good fight and won the second game, but was no match for our world number 12 Gao Ning who took the first, third and fourth game respectively. in the next court, Yang Zi had a clean win of all four sets and as usual went in straight for the kill. when asked what he thinks his chances are up against Gao Ning, he answered the usual diplomatic answers about how they’ve been competing for three years and always stay together, they’re both around the same, Gao Ning is really good.. then Sher Khan and i pushed him and he gave a cheeky smile and said, wo jue de wo hui ying la! then laughed. and when we told Gao Ning this later, the gentleman at first refused to answer what he thought merely stating how his team mate and him are about the same standard then eventually laughed and said hao le hao le, wo shuo wo hui ying la! awesome soundbites.
okay, back to table tennis now to watch the finals and grab more interviews, it’s the Team Singapore dinner at the embassy tonight and kel and i get t go YAY thanks alvin & viv 
p.s: sorry no photos, updating from IBM lousy laptop in the studios
xoxo,
