YOG started!

The YOG ceremony had passed. Well done to the staff and workers puting up the show. But then when the flags are coming down they have to go to ads several times. So whoever the flags not shown on TV due to the ads well, what would the TV station explain? I would say it is lack of respects. They didn't show ads while NDP is going on. And also I believe if it is YOG it should be youths going on stage. I saw the older athletics going down with the flags. I still don't agree with all these adults doing in a youth event. In any case, it certainly is history making for Singapore.

local heroes get the boots

The olympic was over. But there is another happening in singapore. The tabletennis team that got a silver return home as heroes. However, their manager and head coach got the boot. The president of the tabletennis club, whatever they name it, gave lame reason. Their contract was not renewed and will be expired. So with manager and coach that led the team to a silver, doesn't that makes them "legend"? The world knows that she was furious over the tabletennis guy that lost because there was no coach on site. The coach that assigned was delayed by another match. For that reason she start booting. If such a mistake deserve the boot, mdm president and all those high post people should start getting boots. Spectulation was that Ms president doesn't see eye to eye but we doesn't care as long they got the medal. So what is next? This will always be a local olympic chapter forever, if you led a team to medals, expect the boot if you don't please mdm president.

Medals in Olympics at last

At last Singapore got medals. The table tennis team managed to best Korean team to get the silver. While it was a good change, it prompted some questions. The players are not Singapore born. They came from else where. If you look at most sports in Singapore, most of their players are FT. So there won't be much straight answers from anywhere else. However be grateful that these talents are doing Singapore proud and at the same time earning their name forever in the Olympic records. Hopefully Singapore should show them support for what they have done should the day for them unable to compete.

Olympic fakes

The recent Olympic opening was quite good but soon some bad news started to pour in. It was revealed that what we saw on TV, the fireworks are fakes. Most of it on TV are computerised images. So what if we see less of it? Putting fakes on TV just don't seem right. While people are talking about it, next came the news that the little girl that sang was lip sync. It was said that because the girl whose voice was used because she wasn't cute. So what if she isn't cute? Does that make lip sync a better excuse? These girls are innocent yet the adults put them in such bad position. Imagine when they grew up some people uses these news at them? I doubt if the world watching would care if the singing girl is cute. It just isn't right.

Olympic madness

The super question like everyone else on the recent Olympic torch passing, why isn't it passing through to Singapore? The route from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, why can't they pass through Singapore since Singapore lies right in the middle of the route? Here is a reply on May 2nd of the Straits Times forum section. The reply explains that Beijing Organising Committee decides on the route. Seems to me some elements of unfairness occurs here. Isn't it common sense to let the torch pass through Singapore to Jakarta? With Singapore fully support China and the Olympic games it is BS with whatever reasons to leave out Singapore. Is it because no one willing to run from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore or not willing to put in cost for the plane to fly here? I guess the readers will be the judge for this.
