I slept really late last night (around 3am) as I did some studying and constant refreshing of the CG website. The table tennis rounds of 16 were underway to determine the top 8 women for the quarterfinals match in women singles. And guess what? Singapore has 4 women out of the 8! That's incredible. But it wasn't all easy. I went to bad with the results of Singapore trailing India 3-2. I awoke to pleasantly find out Singapore won over India 3-4. Singapore managed to win the last two matches to finish the game. So kudos to all. Now, they just have to focus on winning their quarterfinals match, and three of them would be guranteed medals. How cool is that?
Also, mixed doubles in table tennis saw 3 out of 4 Singaporean teams taking the semifinal spots. Sadly two will be playing against each other. Here's to them fighting all the way, and hopefully adding another 3 medals.
I have school later on. There won't be any hot water for the whole of today and probably tomorrow morning. Why? Maintenance of the main water boiler or some sort. So I just used really (REALLY) cold water to wash my hair, since I couldn't take my full morning shower. My head momentarily froze and went numb. Looks like I won't be taking a bath later in the day too.
