Back From Hong Kong

It was good, but Hong Kong Disneyland was not very good.

I did get a lot of clothing from UNICLO.

I hate going back to work.

Another Record

Just when I thought the unbreakable record of 400m freestyle by Ian Thorpe was broken by Paul Biedermann of Germany, another happened today.

Paul Biedermann got lucky with his high tech swim suit, which left with a lot of questions and criticisms, but the one I saw was no fluke, no high tech stuff, it was pure awesomeness.

Usain Bolt of Jamica, lowering his own world record 100-meter mark to 9.58 seconds from the 9.69 he ran in winning the Olympics.

In the world of sprints, where lowering 0.01 second is an achievement, Bolt lowered by more than 0.1 second.

Just when will this end?

Mmm…

I went for a quick jog tonight. When I was nearby a high school which was no longer than 10 minutes from home, the back entrance was locked, with a sign which read, “Known H1N1 case reported, premises restricted”.

Um… just nearby my home. Fantastic. I will need to wear masks everytime I go out now.

Long Weekend

Thanks to a typhoon heading over to Taiwan, I get a day off today.

However, there isn’t that much wind and doesn’t really feel like the whole country deserves a day off, but what the heck, I like it!
