Why why why
There is something i don't understand. Why does the Olympics precede The National Day Rally? And it cause the nation to watch a delayed 24 hours telecast of the COUNTRY's Prime Minister's Speech!!!
We are talking a Prime Minister of Singapore and how is he less important than 3 chinese winning medals for Singapore? I ain't going to go into whether we should hire of import foreign talents to play for our countries...but seriously...I do not see why them winning medals are of more importance than the announcement of the govt's policy to the general public!
Why can't we watch the Rally Live and the olmypics on delayed telecast? I am sure it will be alright...yes yes you might be thinking well policy wouldn't be implemented overnight and beside by hearing it now and tomorrow or the day after next wouldn't affect your life at all. I totally agree with the statement i just typed....but this just show how our media prioritize the our leader and the games.
If its according the to above argument on it will not affect our lives, then...touch wood...what if one of our big shot died...do we still go ahead with the olympics? I mean it wouldn't make much of a difference knowing that he died now or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Well probably i personally do not have much hype about the 3 of them winning a medal...i am not saying because they are not born in singapore but i just can't feel the excitment of hoping they win a medal. Its not that i am not patriotic or anything like that...The true reason is....I swear...I am not lying or bullshitting when i say this.....the true reason behind it would be that....I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW.
Maybe because i ain't interested in the sports...more of a swimming kinda guy...football...and all other sports...however i did watch germany vs korea for table tennis....but thats out of the topic today...
To be honest i have nothing else to talk about...erm...besides...i still do not agree singaporeans should watch a delayed telecast of the national day rally....it should precede all other programs....unless soldiers are dying for our country...but no one is dying and they ain't no soldiers and....welll....to be honest i doubt even if they won the gold they will cry singing the national anthem...then again...most singaporean in school doesnt really sing the anthem...that shows how much pride we all have!
I remember watching one of the program about the old singapore football team and how the coach made them sing the anthem with pride and will continuously sing till he sense pride in their singing...well i truly believe its a great way cause...then would you be fighting and playing for something greater than individual achievement. One can only go so far...but with a pressure for achieving something for your country...that is what that will push you forward...the pride of doing it for your country..
I do not know how patriotic our athletes are but i seriously don't think they are doing it for the country....more of individual achievements...but hey...who am i to say anything...i mean i ain't them and i ain't contributing anything to the country as yet.
Maybe and just maybe it will be a good idea to make all our athletes sing the national anthem everyday before they starts practicing and singing it with pride is the key not just going through the motion...if you ask me if micheal phelps sings every morning...i swear i do not know...who knows...he is a god...but he lost to IAN THORPE.
Well have nothing much else to say since i kinda drift away from my original topic once again...so....stay patriotic...be willing to do your country some good and as i quote J. F. Kennedy " Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For, But What Can You Do For Your Country."
Damn I am such a singapore junkie!
