The Olympics is so sinful!!! Well, ok, obviously I don't mean this literally. But ever since the Olympics commenced I'm been pretty much glued to my telly every opportunity that I can. This is so bad, my entire weekends are just gone... poof... sitting for hours flicking from channel to channel, catching all the various sporting coverage of the games that come only once every 4 years! Thank God for Starhub cable!
Some delayed news here, but I thought I ought to pen it down here in my Blog coz it's history in the making! 
After a long awaited 48 years.. Singapore has finally clinched a Silver medal in the Olympics in the sport of table tennis! It's about time something like that happened! Although there has been much talk about the players not being pure Singaporeans and all... I feel that credit really goes all out to them for the wonderful persistent performance that the put up! Of coz it would be great if Singapore nurtured its own talent pool of sporting athletes... but looking at the situation and the amount of support, funds and opportunities that come about, it's really gonna be a good long while before Singapore ever catches up with the other dominant nations across the globe.
I'm apologise if I'm contradicting my earlier statement but in reaction to the Silver medal win by the paddlers, it's really quite sad how many locals have reacted to the fact that this win was in a way.... an empty win. Much talk has been emphasized on the fact that all the players were foreign imports. But this really happens all across the world... it's reality... if u want your country to win, u go out and scout for the best in the business and draw them into ur county! A simple example is seen within the table tennis sport itself... it seems like no matter which country plays against each other, all players seem to have some sort of Asian genes! Like today's USA vs Singapore match... chinese vs another chinese? *the world is weird*
Ok enough of my nonsense blabbering... on to other exciting updates: Usain Bolt certainly lives up to his last name indeed! Those are some magic feet that he has, not to mention those flashy gold running shoes that can probably sell for millions on ebay! Not only has he clinched the gold medal and smashed the world record for the Men's 100m sprint finals... he made it again into the record books by repeating the same feat in the Men's 200m finals... world record time ok! Amazing stuff indeed! Not to mention, must be the most awesome present one can ever get just one day before his actual birthday! I honestly don't really like his personality coz I think he's kind of a showoff... but then again, I admire the magnificent double feat that he pulled off! It was quite funny coz my sister and I were watching his race and the moment he crossed the finish line in record time, we both turned to each other and said "They are so gonna check him for drugs!!!". Hahaha.... but it's true....
Oh and women's soccer is quite awesome stuff to watch too! Hey these chicks are good. Well, I haven't really seen much female soccer action before so it got pretty exciting to watch these girls all gunning for the ball. I hate to admit it but I seriously think most of these female teams can easily match or even surpass the standard of our local male soccer clubs. Hey, I'm just stating my personal opinion!
Thank God it's Friday tomorrow.... another crazy week gone by in the blink of an eye. I wish the Olympics never ended.... hahaha.
