Gunning for gold

17th August 2008 is an extraordinary day for the Americans and will be an extraordinary day for Singaporeans and our neighbour Malaysia. Michael Phelps realised his aim of getting 8 golds when he clinched his 8th this morning in yet another record time...I love watching him swim..its so inspiring. He always manage to come up from the back and beat the competition at the last 50m. Both Singapore and Malaysia are aiming to get our very first olympic gold. Sadly, I think Singapore has reached the end of the road after losing to China in two straight sets. But a silver is still not too bad. Hopefully we dont have to wait another 48 years for the next one...gosh I will be 76 years old by then...probably dead already. The badminton match where Lee Chong Wei will square off with Lin Dan has just started. Hopefully, they can get a gold.
