The Olympic fever brews all over the nations. Whenever possible, one will switch on the tv and tune into Olympic games, channel 5 or starhub cable channels.I'm not much of a fan in Olympic, I don't watch it much because I don't really support any particular person or event. I watch it sometimes out of fun, and curiosity. And sad to say, I don't really support my own country. Not because I'm not patriotic or anything, but Sg is gonna get creamed by other countries like the USA, UK, Aus and China.USA reins over in what.... Swimming, B-Ball and etc. UK pretty much consistent overall, Aus over Swimming in a few categories and etc, and China reins over the gymnasium(males), etc. and even tennis(a game against Venus Williams).But I'm really proud of the table tennis player from Sg that creamed the opponent. She totally creamed her opponent! Based on her consistency in the game and her patience. But that's the closest Sg's gonna get in terms of medal: Silver. And if we're lucky, gold...in the history of what..40 over years??Speaking of swimming, Michael Phelps reins over the rest in men. The guy that won 7 Gold Medals. His destiny with his 8th Gold awaits him in tml's final relay race. He's gonna depend on his teammates, but I don't worry abt that. He's already made swimming history, on par with the legend Mark something who had won 7 Gold.And my sis is crazy over him, which influenced me to look forward to his matches. Viewing those swimming relays and swimming races ignited the flame within me to wanna jump into the waters and swim a few laps. So today morning after viewing Michael Phelps breath-taking winning on channel 601, me and my sis went down to the pool just downstairs and swam for abt an hour or so. Gosh, the win was amazing and the difference between 1st place (Michael Phelps) and 2nd place was like 00.01 second. Michael Phelp's timing was like XX.58, and 2nd place winner's time was like XX.59. Incredible!!!!!The 1 hr swim for me totally made my arms and legs muscle sore. It's been years (minus away the fun time in pool during my attachment with my kids) since I've jumped into the pool and swam. But I'm so in love with it, gonna swim again - This time head over to OCC and swim in their Olympic pool. That will be totally awesome, with enough pressure and enough depth and enough ambiance. Wanted to head over today, but cos of the going-to-rain sky and weather, we made do with the pool at our house. If not I could drop by LSH and take a look at their open house. =)
