Singapore first Medal after 48 years

YEAH! First of all, a hearty congrats to Singapore table tennis women's team.

Singapore secured at least a sliver or gold medal after 48 years of waiting. Last sliver medal was won by weight-lifter in 1960 - Rome Olympic. The headlines of today's newspapers were all talking about this unexpected win. Even PM Lee decides to postpone his damn rally till Monday, so that he can enjoy and support our table tennis team at his own home. My family freaking hates National Rally, my father will curse and swear during rally speeches, when he can't watch his show but to listen to that person keep talking about his grandfather story.

Ironically, these headlines seem sarcastic enough for me. We waited almost 5 decade or half a century to be able to bring home 1 medal in Olympic. When comes to clean and green, airport stuff, Singapore always stays at the top, but comes to sport, people hardly remember Singapore actually do exists. Till I completely gives up and can't even bother to watch the damn Olympic at all.

Now let me remind you that during the final, there were be 4 china people competing for gold medal. Even if Li Jia Wei's team really got the gold medal for Singapore, at the bottom of my heart I really don't feel that excited. They are not borned or raised in Singapore, and they still speaks with an accent of China. (its of personal opinion lah, you may not agree with me, its okie). Its like you dump a lot of money in hiring NBA all stars and then you win a medal for Singapore, I don't see what's there to be so excited about.

p/s: Li Jia Wei was borned in Beijing and came to Singapore in 1996. Turned a Singapore Citizen at the age of 18.

Nonetheless, Singapore finally breaks the curse and set a new level in our tennis field. I am still happy for Singapore after all. At least it get me sitted and tune to television to cheer of Singapore after so many years. Let's see, I last cheered for Singapore was during Tiger Cup, where Singapore VS Malaysia decades ago. At least that increase a wee bit for me to be excited for being a Singaporean.
