A check with today's copy of the Straits Times shows that Jacintha did perform an acapella version of our national anthem, Majulah Singapura, probably somewhere at the beginning of the IOC opening ceremony. I apologise for the misinformation in my previous entry.
Only one, teeny-weeny song lah...
A couple of interesting pieces of news from Yahoo!:
Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have discovered that strolling can help obese adults burn more calories per mile than brisk walking and might even lower the risk of arthritis and injuries to the joints than picking up the pace. They found that obese people burned more calories walking at a slower pace for a longer time than walking at a faster speed.
McDonald's Corp., fresh from a makeover of everything from its menu to its ads, now wants to upgrade its restaurant staff uniforms to make them hipper and more befitting the MTV generation. Talks are underway with some of the world's best-known clothing labels, including Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' Sean John label, Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., Giorgio Armani, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons' Phat Farm label, American Eagle Outfitters Inc., Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Rocawear, and Tommy Hilfiger. However, according to McDonald's USA spokesman, Bill Whitman, the company was not yet negotiating with any specific designers and described the current discussions as informal and internal to McDonald's.
PS: If McDonald's staff starts wearing Armani, I don't mind flipping burgers and mopping floors part-time. LOL
