Fun Sports?

P5 Hope
An Austrian Olympic swimmer, Jakub Maly, while on a training stint in Florida, in the United States, decided to have some "fun". He dug a 2m-deep trench and then, for some fun, jumped into the trench. However, horrors of horrors, the sand collapsed over him and he was buried! It took 60 rescuers nearly two hours to pull him out of the man-made crater.
Jakub and his team mates were having fun on a day off when the incident happened. His team mates managed to clear the sand around his head but they could not get him out. After he was pulled out, earth-moving equipment had to be used to fill up the trench.
What do you think of this "fun" activitiy? Do you know of another "fun" activity that seems to be getting popular? How do you feel about this?

One of the most exciting elections in Singapore's history is over.

Even though most of us (except the Singaporean teachers and staff above 21 years old) did not vote, we all knew what was going on through the news, through websites, through Mrs Chua's assembly talk on the elections and through our friends and families.

Several big things have happened since the elections ended. MM Lee Kuan Yew and SM Goh Chok Tong stepped down from the Cabinet and yesterday (18 May), PM Lee Hsien Loong unveiled the new ministers for his government.
