Olympic Dreams....

It was immediately after the much anticipated singles men's badminton Olympic final, battle for GOLD!!! Lin Dan had just beaten our Lim Chong Wei in straight sets, without even breaking a sweat... sigh.....

The tv was still flashing Lin Dan's emotional outburst after he'd won, music akin to "charriots of fire" <-- China version playing in the background, replaying the scene where he gets up from the badminton court, and rushes to his coaches, giving them a big BIG hug and sobbing into their sportjackets.....

When my phone rings....

It's Ah Ming.

She's laughing uncontrollably into the phone.... and I'm thinking she's lost a couple of marbles cause Malaysia's NOT getting that golden public holiday....

But that really wasn't the case.

She was laughing herself silly cause of this this :-


Caught up in the victorious Olympic gold medal moment of Lin Dan and his coaches after watching the match, Little A (her 3 year old son) ran up to her and her husband and asked for a "hug-hug".... (Awwwwwwwww...)

Hearts melted as only a parent's heart can when a child shows such displays of pure love and affection, the following conversation ensued :-

Father : Aww, Little A, do you wanna go to the Olympics???

Little A : I want!!!

Mother : You do? What do you want to do at the Olympics???

(Hearts beaming with love, pride, and ambition for their little boy, both parents looked lovingly at their potential Olympic champion, waiting for his answer....)

Little A : Mop floor.


I think i dropped my phone then..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hey, at least he wants to do it at the OLYMPICS!!!!
