Amazing Feat of Human Spirit

I came across a video about an amazing guy, Derek Redmond. He's a British athlete, namely in the 400 meter relay. He's quite a successful athlete, but an occasion caused people to remember his amazing human spirit. 

During the 1992 Olympic Summer Games in Barcelona, he torn his hamstring and fell on the track. He was in great pain, his pain was clearly written on his face as he was lying on the track. When the medic team approached Derek, he made a great decision to finish his race. While limping on his unhurt leg, he tried to finish his race, but his face was in agony pain and tears began rolling down as he understood that his Olympic dream has gone down the drain. 

Suddenly, a huge man ran out of the grandstand towards Derek. The man is Derek's father. He couldn't stand his son in pain and he knew how his son wanted to compete in the Olympics, so he decided to help his son to finish his race. Together, arm in arm, they both managed to finish the rest. The whole stadium, 65,000 people all stood up and gave them a round applause as they acknowledge their amazing feat.

BlogFest Asia 2010

Just came across this news, Penang will host the international blog festival from 1st till 3rd October at the Wawasan Open University, according to BERNAMA and TheStar. More than 200 local bloggers and 100 foreign bloggers, including those from Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, China and Mongolia, are to be expected coming. 

 If you wish to join in the fun, do not hesitate to register here: BlogFest Asia 2010

As for me, I wish I could join the fun too, but since transport is a big issue for me, I can't just fly over to Penang with the expensive air ticket. Even though Airasia is promoting 'Everyone Can Fly' slogan, it's still quite expensive for a student like me.

For those who've registered, have fun. Please don't forget to post up pics to share with us.
