Olympic Spirit Strong!... in me! :-)

On my FB status, I wrote this "Strange... but I feel a bit empty this morning... no more tracking of Team Singapore's latest YOG performance and YOG new highlights to watch..."

With the intial joy of Singapore winning the hosting opportunity for the first YOG, I drifted into the "ok... another global event" mode. So, when it was time and the first event started, I found myself searching for updates on the internet. Luckily for me, there were quite a few good ones to get the latest updates from. I was really checking it everyday for each of the sport that Singapore had a participant in (I did not really care if we had a chance to win any medal). I did not really understand why until this week when everything was done and even the advertisements on the beach were being taken down.

For me, it is the idea of watching children of Singapore having the opportunity to participate in an Olympic event with a chance to get their hands on an Olympic medal. I salute everyone of them for their courage, dedication and that pure love for their sport!... keep that flame burning! It is now a part of each of them which no one can take away...
