The End.

Back to my normal life without tv. Need to get use a little bit to having no programmes to watch again, hah! Yea, you must be thinking that I've exaggerated. Ha! But it's true, there is a need to! Especially when we have gone to the extend of searching all over the internet at work for live web telecast of the games. Sighs. Sounds strange... Well, because i didn't even follow the Athens olympics as closely as this. Guess China made theirs look too important to them. Probably... it was the series of unfortunate events before the Olympics which actually shifted our attention to it. Or maybe just mine. To say the truth, I am impressed by the way the Chinese handled the earthquake mishap, the natural disasters that followed and the threats they faced from the european countries and the muslims. Shaken, but still, they stood calm and faced these problems with the right mind and positive attitudes. All in the hope to hold the (possibly) only Olympics Games to be held by the Chinese, in this century, successfully. Bravo.

And for another person, I guess, it would be quite disheartening for him to have to pull out at the only chance to compete in his homeland. Just reading reports of him crying for hours right after his withdrawal is enough to actually understand quite abit on how he feels. For a person who can ignore his badly swollen leg just to cry because he had withdrawn, it isn't fair to judge this person by saying he is taking bribes or being a coward anymore. Either way, whether to endure and run the heats or to pull out of the race entirely, people would have accused him of doing the wrong thing. I guess he is somebody who could see a future in himself. Everybody has a different perception. His is one which tells him that even if he competes for the heats, he would not have been able to compete in the semi-final and the finals. Well, I guess... to a national athlete, he is loaded with a burden of having to carry the pride of the country on his shoulders. Losing doesn't mean losing the gold medal anymore. It means losing everything the country and it's people have placed on him.

Wave goodbye now to
Beibei Jingjing Huanhuan Yingying and Nini!!
