SG won silver medal but lost the gold hearts of many.

We finally clinched an Olympic Silver... But any intellectuals will tell u, This will not encourage local sports development ... The caption in many local and foreigners' heart is "invest in young overseas talents".

Familiar with English Premier League (soccer/football)? They are facing the same problem in developing local soccer talents. The difference is they are clubs only looking forward to bring glory and $$$ in. Ours is a Country, we need to do more than that, we need to make our people feel the sense of belonging.

The sense of belonging was almost gone from my heart the day, the revered Singapore Flag was drag on the ground. The little bit left was almost consumed with the important NDP Rally postponed for a possible Gold medal. Where is the emphasis in the country? Country affairs or merely recreational sports. Even though poorer response might be expected, but that will at least earn respect and hearts of true Singaporeans.

We do not mind foreign talents come to Sg to work, nor do we mind them take up citizenship and hold our flag. Your forgotten sons and daughters only wish their hard earned money into better use, more respect for our revered flag and symbol ( do not tell me u guys never advise her of the importance of the flag in such a big event) finally show u place more importance in your own rally.

Congrats, We won the silver Medal and lost the "Gold" heart of ourselves. so did we win or did we lose?
"Winning is not everything, but Losing urself is everything lost."

Flag bearer from Barbados proud to represent country in Beijing Olympics.





Proud Pettie Japanese Sportwoman holding Japan Flag with pride and smiles.

Comments: Li Jiawei is of a larger built than this pettie japanese sportswoman and see how upright she holds the flag. No excuse, if you should be ashamed of yourself, Li Jia wei.

If Flag touches the ground in national service, we would have burnt many weekends doing guard duties. Yea, favour the talented and not the patroitic? Is the government trying to bring this msg to us? Let's ponder.

I couldn't say I am a patriotic Singaporean. In fact, I never was. But when I saw how my country flag is treated, I am disgusted. It swept on the ground of the "bird nest" Stadium in Beijing in front of Billions watching in the world.

If Li Jiawei (Singapore Flag bearer) the ground occasionally by accident, it can be forgiven. But our flag was dragged across the whole track to the holding area. By the way, Li Jiawei is a "Made in China" foreign talent in Singapore. However, please show some respect to our nation as 9th August is our national day. "AND U Dragged our Flag on the ground a day before our national DAY??!!!"

The most guilty party of all in this incident is the Singapore Sports Association (Council) or whoever you are. In the first place, why can't you choose a born in Singapore and bred in Singapore Athlete to hold the flag? I bet they will at least show pride and respect to the flag. Look @ Li Jiawei, she looked grumpy at times holding our Flag. Compare the pictures above.

Search for Olympics Spirit and got whooped by Beach Volleyball girls

Hi guys,

I came across this funny video about 2 Americans who went Beijing to search for Olympics Spirit. A very well edited video introducing Beijing as well as footage of Olympics beach volleyball girls.



Reports and news say its the best time to visit Beijing now with so much attraction and lesser pollution. Oh man, I am at the wrong place now... I should be in Beijing. :(

Do enjoy the video...It's really well taken.
