***WARNING: DISTURBING GRAPHIC IMAGES AND VIDEO BELOW***

Janos Baranyai of Hungary injured himself during his third lift at the men’s 77kg Group B snatch weightlifting competition at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

This is the 24-year-old Hungarian first Olympics and he ended up in an agony as he dislocated his right elbow during the Olympic weightlifting competition. Baranyai was lifting up weights 148kg, when his elbow went out of its socket. Unable to support the weight, Baranyai’s right forearm bent backwards. Officials said that there was no fracture, but added that Baranyai would not be able to lift weights again.

If you do not know, Channel 5 has this programme “Today in Beijing” hosted by Mark Richmond and Jade Seah. This programme rounds up the day’s activities with exclusive interviews and reports from Beijing by on-site reporter Jason Chan.

Commotions were going on regarding one of the presenters - Jade Seah.

Poor Jade Seah was bombarded in forums about her presentation skills, and a Facebook group was even created to get Jade Seah off ‘Tonight in Beijing’. One of the members commented:

“Regardless of what your other formative experiences may have been, please understand that in this case, the substance matters more than the form. Please just give us the news. Please practise proper professional news delivery. Please do not preen, simper, banter, or do the equivalent of that Gatsby guy prancing around in front of the teleprompter. I don’t even follow sports, for cryin’ out loud.

There is still time for redemption. Please. Until then, Channel 5 @ 11pm is when the TV stays firmly switched off.”

Are you serious?? She couldnt be that worst, afterall she was chosen to be the presenter by Mediacorp. She must have some elements that make her to be the presenter, right? Personally, I’ve not watched “Tonight in Bei Jing” yet.. But, I will watch it today..and comment about her in my next post. =)

And ya, Jade Seah was caught saying “Err..F*ck..” on National TV. These words blurted out from her mouth when reporting about Men’s Synchro Diving and the images of Basketball showed. This is caught by BlinkyMummy.

Will she be staying as the presenter for “Tonight in Beijing”? We shall see..

While the whole world celebrates the Olympics Opening in China, Singaporeans should also celebrate these two special days.. 08.08.08 and 09.08.08

Why 08.08.08?

1. Toto 8 million draw
Hmmz.. I’m not a gambler though the prize is so attractive. Today, YES933 blasted the full version of 招财进宝 at 08:08:08am and 09:09:09am. 8 million is like so a lot..yet, a super far figure that I cant reach. What will you do if you won the 8 million dollars? If I really won that 8 million, I will be lost.

2. F.I.R. Concert

It’s F.I.R. Concert and Jam is their guest for the concert.

Why 09.08.08?

1. National Day - Our Nation’s 43rd Birthday

Who is celebrating National Day with us?

Yahoo.com.sg - the full red layout really shocked me in the first place as this is my first time seeing Yahoo going RED.

Ping.sg

Since National Day falls on a saturday, schools will celebrate National Day on friday, which is today. This day, I was trying to have my beauty sleep until 9am. But the school near my house was celebrating national day. Not that I object celebration of national day, but the noise produced by the school was really irritating(not to mention the school name). Instead of celebrating national day in the hall, this school had the celebration at the parade square.. under the hot sun.. Normally for national day, first start of the programme will be those uniform groups marching to the parade square..singing of national anthem, pledge, recollection.. and then will proceed to the hall for further activities - like those sing-along session.

Ok.. if this school’s practise of singing those national day songs is at the parade square.. it’s still fine with me..perhaps it’s their tradition. Blasting the speaker and waking up the whole neighbourhood may seem to be inconvenient to the residents.. Ok..I’m still fine with that since it’s like one year one time.

BUT…

Can you imagine a school… celebrating National Day… by singing GIRLFRIEND early in the morning.. with those rock band music..electric guitar strumming etc.. Can you stand people shouting to the mic singing “” early in the morning when residents are still sleeping?? somemore.. IT’S NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION… How does “Hey hey you you I dont like your girlfriend” related to National Day??

Alright.. jokes aside.. Wishing Singapore HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!
