Commonwealth Games is here! I know I'm Singaporean, but there is some thrill in watching and supporting Australia. I can still remember my very first year in Melbourne back in 2004. It was the first time I watched Australia in action, and opened my eyes to a whole variety of other sports like rowing and cycling, one of the two which I've developed an interest in watching.
But back to the Commonwealth Games, I was watching swimming yesterday and guess who I saw in lane 8 of the men's 200m relay! SINGAPORE!!! It's sad that my first instinct was let's not get last (of course we did get last), but when you look at the timings we came in 3m30s, just 23s behind the winning team (3m13s). That doesn't sound as bad as last does it?
Sigh... When will Singapore ever excel at sports.
