An old Renault ad that shows, anyone can be inspired by the Olympics.
Apparently 2 tourists got this message very clear when they were assaulted by locals after they changed the channel showing the badminton singles final between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan.
GEORGE TOWN: Two foreigners learned the hard way that they should never interrupt sports fans watching a live telecast.
The two were assaulted in separate incidents at a bistro in Pengkalan Weld and a hotel in Jalan Macalister when they meddled with television sets that were tuned to the Beijing Olympics badminton finals on Sunday between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan of China.
At the bistro, a 54-year-old Frenchman was assaulted by two men while the hotel saw a 25-year-old Swede beaten by another man.
Northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Azam Abdul Hamid said the foreigners were punched and had bottles thrown at them.
“The Frenchman sustained minor head injuries while the Swede had multiple bruises on his body.”
If they changed the channel when Chong Wei was trailing 12-1 in the second set they wouldn’t have been assaulted.
I wonder if anyone bought a 3D or 4D (0969) over the weekend when Usain Bolt won the 100m dash. If Chong Wei had won the gold medal last night, I would’ve post another video but we all know how the story ended (but still congratulations to him for winning silver though).
If you want to see any video of Usain Bolt’s record breaking run, don’t bother going to youtube. Videos of the run are being removed as fast as the run. You get better luck searching for it at Daily Motion.
Watch it below while you can (if below is removed, check back for new addition here).
I can’t say there was nothing short of class and awesome-ness during the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony. The only thing I was worried about was the display of fireworks - somehow I was worried about the smoke that will be left behind by all those explosions but still it was a joy to watch.
So it is somewhat funny that a few spectators in the Bird’s Nests stadium managed to capture a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) inside the stadium. Here are the pics and source.

So will today be lucky for any of us? Some will get married. Some (like me, probably) will buy 4D - I saw 3 cars bearing my IC number and another with my birthdate, within the space of 2 days - so probably I’ll buy those numbers hehe.
One thing is for sure though, the Olympics opening ceremony is on tonight! I’m just hoping I could sway my son Jordan from his favourite channel 613.
Probably my wife will deliver today, then our child’s birthdate will be lucky but I’m not really counting on it cuz her actual expected due date is at the end of this month heh.
Will it seems that it will be just another usual Friday night for me. Hmm maybe I’ll launch the new theme for this blog - yeah. Tonight lah hehe.
What about you? Any special things you will do?
