SILVER MEDAL FOR SINGAPORE!

Yay, the results is kinda expected. Not likely that the Singapore team would defeat the China team who has been dominating the table tennis champion title since eons ago. Didn’t sense much fighting spirit yesterday, as compared to the Friday’s match, but I think they did a good job - “WOW“-ed me quite a number of times. If you think the Singapore team “gave up hope” because they were playing against China, go bang yourself on the wall, because they DID defeat them before!

Not much to comment about the match because the China players were so much more aggresive and FAST for them. They’re not called world champions for nothing man… @_@

Then it was the award ceremony. Oh man…I almost cried because the scene was sooo touching! I’ve never seen Singaporeans standing on the podium, and the Singapore flag rising high in Olympics (I mean LIVE on TV). Imagine one day, you hear Majulah Singapura being played there, I’ll simply cry man.

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to the paddlers! We’re so proud of you! =D

P/S: As expected, lots of politics about the winning of our silver medal. Narrow-minded people bashing up the China-born Singaporeans. Get a life man…

P/P/S: Lots of supporters have been praising FTW as the heroine. Yes she is, but I think LJW ought to be commended too. Losing your match doesn’t mean you’re not a heroine. She might have lost to KKA during the single game in s-finals, but to me, she has WON. Really impressed with the way she played, the vast improvement she has made. (Oh, it rhymes!) Besides her obvious weaknesses (quick-tempered & impatient) during games, she makes a prominent player in the team. Kudos to LJW! =D

P/P/P/S: Anyone misses Jing Junhong? LOL!
