Moving On :)


I was waiting anxiously after dinner for the Olympic Bronze medal match in table tennis to commence. The moment finally arrived and I was happy to see Li Jiawei in the match. This is the 1st time I got to see a Singaporean athlete appearing on TV ever since I came to Australia. The match started well with Li Jiawei winning the 1st set, but she wasn't able to maintain her form after that and lost the match in the end...

I do feel sad somehow as I was really hoping that Singapore could win an Olympic medal after 44 years. But again life is always so unpredictable that anything can happen. In fact, there'll be obstacles in life and I think it really depends on how you look at and handle them. Perhaps a better way is to learn from whatever mistakes that you have made so as to help you in growing to become a better person in future...

Life will still be moving on...

Blog Again!!


It has been quite a while since my last post... Well, it seems that I have been struggling with all my weekly tutorial assignments as I always need a longer time to finish them. Some of my course mates had managed to finish their assignments before Sunday so that they can enjoy and relax the whole day. I guess many of my Sundays are going to get burnt from now on...


Right now I'm suffering from the Olympics' fever. I have been watching the Olympics Games on TV almost every night and up to 2 or 3 am in the morning. But most of the coverage are Australian based sports like swimming, cycling, rowing, baseball and hockey to name a few, so it's kind of boring sometimes... I have been trying to look out for the Singaporean Athletes competing in the swimming events but always missing out on them. Earlier I was cheering for Li Jiawei while watching the live score via Internet on her semi-final match against the North Korean player. It was really a pity as she was leading by 3-1 initially before losing the match. Luckily, she still has a chance for a bronze medal. Another good news is that the SBS channel will be broadcasting the match live later and I'm definitely not going to miss it...

S.I.N.G.A.P.O.R.E.... ohh... Singapore, yeah!!!
