Michael Phelps from USA is phenomenal! The first man to win 8 Olympic gold medals in a single event.

I can't help but marvel at his determination in attaining his goals and his ability to achieve those goals he set.

Not everyone can achieve what he did. To win every single race, and with 7 races done in world record time. The Best Swimmer accolade he received at the Victory Ceremony on Sunday is very much well affirmed. He deserved that title. He deserved to be in the history books regarding the sporting arena, which he is already in.

He is, in a word, PHENOMENAL.

I did not forget our very own Women's Table Tennis team in my excitement over Phelps. I must say our team did well and they deserved the silver medal they got. Singapore is finally seeing sunshine after the rain (which lasted for 48 years!).

And oh ya, Tao Li is one lucky gal! Not only did she break the Asian record for Women's 100m Butterfly, Stefanie Sun, the local singing sensational, went down to the studio of Today at Beijing today specially to congratulate Tao Li when it was revealed that the gal admires Stefanie Sun! OMG, who will get a chance like that? It was simply WOW!
