Olympics 2016

and so the 2016 Rio Olympics had come to an end. 

this yr, without the live coverage, honestly i felt the whole SG wasnt that involved. i myself did not catch any match. it was like we dont even know Olympics was being carried out in the other side of the globe.

that was of cuz, until joseph schooling made a big hoo-haa by winning our very 1st gold medal!

woohoo! 

referring to my blog post in 2008 when SG table tennis team won the silver medal, i was saying it took us a good 48yrs b4 we won something again and was thinking will it take us another 48yrs to obtain the next medal. 

and so...

uh huh! 

we did not have to wait thaaaaaat long huh! 

at least, my same old blog is still here. and the same old me is still blogging!! 

hahahaaa!!

and in that post, i was saying dont know how many yrs b4 we can have singapore-born sportsmen winning medals for us, becuz the priority here is education and not sports. and i was quite sure no SG parents will want to put their children through such tough training blah blah. 

and so.. schooling and family kind of prove me wrong! hahahaha. 

no lah, i still think i am right lah. schooling and family is definitely the very very rare few. 

and they definitely deserve all the glory that they are enjoying now after all that they had gone thru. spending the time and money grooming the son, parting with the son, and not to mention the gruelling training the boy had to go thru. winning phelps and getting the gold medal was no easy feat! 

let's see how he'll perform in the next olympic which will be in 2020 tokyo!

四年后见!!
