So England seems to be experiencing a losing streak.
England lost to Russia in soccer
England lost to South Africa in rugby
Now England loses the F1 Grand Prix as well!
Jon and I went to Ben's place to hang out with Quack and Ben, and to catch the F1 final. Along with the hype around the rugby finals, there has been a lot of hype around Lewis Hamilton's possible win of the F1. But alas, a mistake near the start of the race, plus a faulty engine left him catching up with the front runners for the rest of the laps.
The funniest moment for me was when Kazuki Nakajima hit his own mechanics when driving into the pit stop :) The poor things. One guy even flew off his feet and landed on the car!
And Nakajima won't forget that incident soon - it's already on Wiki!
Anyway Ben cooked a really yummy dinner of goulash type stew and onion omelette! (and of course photo evidence proves than shan helped :) ).
After dinner we embarked on some serious research into the history of Chinese High's school song. It all started with us watching Dirty Dancing, and Ben telling us that there's a song near the end of the show which has the exact same melody as the TCHS school song :) Of course, any excuse to watch tv right? So we watched the rest of the show to hear the song and confirm whether its the same :) And it was! (not that we actually knew what the TCHS school song sounded like, but we just took Ben's word for it :) ).
Anyway, thanks to trusty ol google and the ever helpful wiki, we found that, indeed, TCHS song is.... *shock shock horror horror*.... copied!! It takes the tune of the Kellerman's Anthem. And according to wiki, many many many other schools/institutions/colleges have adopted that tune for the own song as well. At least they aren't the only ones, heh =)
