Singapore's greatest pride: Joseph Schooling ! We love you!

You would not believe how happy I was when Joseph Schooling won the Gold for the 100 meters Butterfly at the 2016 Summer Olympics Games at Rio de Janeiro. Everyone of us were so proud of him. Our sms went non-stop. It's like we won too. In a way we did. Yay !!!!

It goes to show 1 thing, we do not need foreign talent. Besides many of them go back to their homeland anyway. But can't blame them though, put yourself in their position, you'll do the same as well. The amount of money that went to 'attract' these foreign talent could have been used to support our own. Joseph Schooling's parents, Colin & May supported him unconditionally.

Another thing came to mind, if we were to have given more support to Ang Peng Siong, one of our most celebrated swimmer super star, he could have brought back a Gold too. By the way Mr Ang Peng Siong was my dad's favorite swimmer. When Schooling won, my dad went non-stop about how talented he was. Dad & him went to the same school, dad was his senior ...haha... that explains the sentiment.

Below is my favorite picture of all the pictures that has been floating around since Schooling won. A picture speaks a thousand words:)

You made us so Proud !!!
