Team Singapore

Team Singapore returned back to the Red Dot gracefully yesterday. For the past two weeks, the nation has been cheering for the team fighting for glory in Beijing. And to answer the call of the whole nation, our paddlers won a long overdue silver medal.

The nation is overjoyed.

The paddlers have immediately become instant icons. Hopefully their success will be able to spur more others who have the same dream to achieve more at the highest level.

I've always admired sportsmen who do their country proud. Other than the current famous three paddlers, Jiawei~Tianwei~Yuegu.. I, myself, is a great fan of Jocelyn Yeo! I ain't got any idea why I was attracted to this swimmer but the only reason might be her achievement in the sporting world. She has not just overcame obstacles to achieve the greatest but she convinced my admiration for her with a simple task in mind; outdo herself.

I used to say that during my futbol playing dayz; I do my best, I answer to my own performance... I don't believe people saying he would gladly give up his individual medal/honour in exchange for the team glory. To me, that sounds more like bullshit..

Nonetheless, do not write out of the context.. main topic should focus on the triumph of Team Singapore. Kudoz to the team!
