A What Typhoon?

What the heck is a Super Typhoon?

I have heard of small typhoon, big typhoon, but super typhoon? And there is one heading towards Taiwan right now.

Fantastic. I don’t care what it is but I hope I get another typhoon holiday.

Happy Birthday!

To me!

I turn 29 today, but I don’t feel that old.

Mum and dad prepared me a small birthday cake, and I got a gift from my wife. That was more than enough.

Thanks mum, dad, and my beautiful wife.

The Greatest of the Greatest

Michael Jordan is inducted to the Hall of Fame.

I managed to find a short collection of MJ in his prime. Young Michael Jordan highlights.

It is strange. It has been a while since I viewed a MJ video, but it is undeniable, after watching MJ, he makes all the current generation of NBA stars like Kobe or LBJ look like ordinary players.

Hard to believe it? Watch it.

So Happy

Only if there was death penalty. Anyway, jailed for life is good enough.

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.
