Olympics and NDP...

080808... Opening of the Beijing Olympics Games

To be true, I will be ultimately and extremely disappointed if my beloved country, Singapore, fails to bring back a medal home this time around. Perhaps most of the Singaporeans are like me, have seen enough of the nation's underachievements at this once-every-4-year Worldwide sports event. (Just like how I have seen enough of the failures of one particular aspect of my life...)

48 years of hurt is enough... We have made tremendous breakthrough in SEA Games, Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games in recent years, why not the Olympics? Meanwhile this current contingent of TEAM Singapore is perhaps the best in years, with table tennis having the best chances (So what if the Women's team faces tricky opponents in the group stage?), as well as perhaps, badminton, sailing and even shooting... I sincerely hope that TEAM Singapore can finally end those years of hurt, and I really wanna see the word S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E finally appears on the Medal Tally Table at the end of the games. SHINE FOR SINGAPORE!

090808...National Day Parade

After 4 months of burning Saturdays (Do I see those days burning? Nope...I really enjoy them!), Wednesday or Thursday, the actual day is here. Well, the devilish function of sanshoshima(3 Obstacles & 4 Devils) may have led me to some stage of emoness, tiredness, disappointments... this time around I must not led myself back to pessimism again. Alright these days, I may have seen myself being less happier than before, but this must come to an end !!! I just wanna truly enjoy the day tomorrow and after tomorrow, prepare myself for post-NDP commitments and future plans.

Let's rebuild my confidence from now on... enough of my emoness. No one will like a person who is OVER emo. Meanwhile, I really enjoy those trainings for the past 4 months, making more new friends and building stronger bonds with the older ones(All those makan sessions with ITAC peeps...etc), while I made a breakthrough in inviting my friend, Perry, in joining NDP. In future, I shall invite more friends in joining this annual event...

Just like TEAM Singapore, Group c5 and the rest of SSA participants shall SHINE for Singapore tomorrow too!
