Doha 2006

had been following the Doha 2006 Asian Games for the past few days. Where is Doha? Its the capital of Qatar. Where is Qatar? somewhere in the middle east. the opening ceremony of this year Asian Games was the most expensive ever. erm... middle east... all i can think is desert, camel n arabian... haha... but hey! its a very very modern city lah.... haha... after i watched the ads n commercial of the Doha Games. Waoh.... so this is the modern RICH middle east... erm.. petroleum... hahaha....

ok ok... back to the games... my all time favourite is swimming, gymnastics, badminton. all three events ended. like predicted, china won most of the gold. but in swimming events... hehe... we can see leng chai japanese swim better than the chinese... haha.. the 24 year old Kosuke Kitajima won 3 gold medals in Men's 100m, 200m breaststroke and Men's 4x100m Medley Relay. another star of the swimming event is the 17-year-old Park Tae Hwan who won three gold medals in Men's 200m, 400m, 1500m freestyle... seems like japan going for breaststroke and korea's going for freestyle.. hahaha... anyway... good game... haha...

badminton... the only event that malaysia has hope in it.. goes to china again... malaysia only got into one final.. the men's double final which will be held 1200am tonight. the singles final goes to indonesia's Taufik Hidayat, just a few hrs ago. the team gold goes to china.. n most of the medals too... haha..

until now, china got 99 golds. japan 31, korea 24... guess how man malaysia got? haha... 3 golds. only 3... and all from bowling. hahaha....
