Oh yes, we finally have our silver medal. Nevermind the foreign talents (read so many comments on blogs and forums until my eyes also blur). Me also foreign, my mum say she picked me up from a rubbish bin. But I no talent. Maybe I’m local.
I’m not too sure why people get so upset of WE (Singapore) getting excited over “foreign talents” bringing back medals. Maybe I get excited because they are representing something I like (table tennis), some country I like (Singapore… I like the food, oh oh… and the government and world peace). It’s abit like how the local Man U fans get all excited over their team winning the Champions League. It’s sports afterall. Seeing a country that waited 48 good years to win a medal does make me feel abit for them. Moreover, it’s my country. I was watching it with my housemate (who coincidentally is an athelete). After Feng Tianwei won the first game, he stretched his hand over and I gave him a hi-five. Don’t think so much, it’s sports, enjoy it.
I read a report earlier today and they said Li Jiawei is a Beijinger. I thought the term Beijinger (like Newyorker, Londoner) is quite cool. I stay in Serangoon Gardens, so I must be a Gardener:D
After the table tennis game, we switched over to volleyball. The commentator must be the best one I’ve ever heard. He’s so darn funny!! It’s almost like a stand up comedy. The commentary is more interesting than the game itself, marginally better than the Italian volleyball girls:)
