Hi kids,

I wonder how many of you watched the Olympics last Friday when our Singapore table tennis players played against the Koreans and the finals last night. Last Friday, I was about to go out when I caught the match on TV. It was really interesting to watch. I was very delighted when I know that Singapore had won and assured of at least a silver medal.

On Sunday, I stayed home to watch the finals, knowing that China would win. True enough, before 9.30pm, it was confirmed that Singapore was on the losing end. I switched off the TV even before the match had ended. I was slightly disappointed but to know that Singapore had clinched a silver Olympic medal is victory for us. We had waited 48 years for this. So it's truly a historical moment for Singapore.

Take a look at the article in the link below.
