Glorious Games

Love the Olympic Games! I can actually happily stay in the whole weekend and just glue my eyes to the google box, taking in the exciting live telecast of competitive beach volleyball, gymnastics, badminton, swimming, and synchronized diving. So many different countries, all aiming for goal/gold. Superb skills, superb atmosphere. =)

Am not too sure if it is the after-effect of having watched the Olympics opening ceremony.. thought this year's NDP was a little of a disappointment. Personally felt that the messages of Singapore Spirit didn't quite come through.. At some points, the acts even seemed random, disconnected and 'colorful for the sake of being colorful'. =P That said, I'm still definitely proud to be a Singaporean.

Anyways, checked out the Southern Ridges (aka 9km park connector) over the long weekend. Strolled from Alexandra Arch to Henderson Waves as the sun set behind myself and dad. A very nice, leisurely walk, with light breeze ruffling our hair. Not too crowded. A good way to unwind at the end of a busy week.
