Life in the Olympics Season

It is 420am in the morning. While most of you has fallen asleep, I am still awake. Been thinking a lot lately, about everything. Before I share more about what I have been thinking, I want you to know that, no drama. It is very easy, when someone share things about life, many will go like, he must have gone through some tough time, or something drama must have happened etc.

Frankly, for those who understand what I am talking about, if you are like me, who love to stop and think once in awhile, while we go on living our lives, this is a natural process .. for when one thinks, he is living.

Someone who has stopped thinking, is someone who has stopped living.

So life has been great, just that at this stage of my life, I have been thinking alot about what I should do next, what is the next wall for me to climb, what is the next project for me to embark. They are all good I believe.

Been watching a lot of the olympics. I have witnessed a lot of great moments. At every victory ceremony, I think about achievement. What i have accomplished so far, what else I can do.

I share this with a numboy recently.

"What have you achieved in your life so far?" I asked.
"Is there any moment in your life, when you laugh, the whole world laugh with you, when you cry, the whole world cry with you? I asked again.

We witnessed this again and again and again the last 10 days of our lives.

Behind every victory, we know well there has been much efforts put in.

So the olympics give me a lot of encouragement to work harder, to plan further, to see beyond .. for victory goes to people who have put in a lot of hard work.

I have been following a lot of arguments over the Singapore table tennis team
..... whether they used to be a Chinese citizens, now Singaporeans, this is not important at all.
The only issue I worried about was, if Singapore wins, will the girls know how to sing the Singapore National Anthem? When the camera zoom in on their face, will they be singing proudly the Singapore national anthem like others did? I was almost worried, during the victory ceremoney, when China anthem was playing, will that be a more familiar national anthem for all the 3 of them ?

The greatest moment in any olympics game is not about winning only, those moment at the victory ceremony, every single time I watched, the proudest moment for any athlete is, when your national anthem sounded, they sang along with the crowd proudly. That alone is enough to send people to tears.

So if Singapore wins, will they sing along proudly too? I wonder.

It is 430am in the morning, when everyone else is asleep, this is the best time to reflect,
