The Olympic Fever

At the rate we were going, the Rio 2016 Olympics was bound to be Malaysia's most successful yet. We had a silver and a couple of bronze in the bag. And we were still in contention for a couple more goals at least.

But the sad thing was the bickering back home about the support our athletes got on the way to Rio, or the lack of it. Some of the athlete had been vocal about the matter while in others, the lack of support was apparent.

To add to that, was the complaint the public had about the monetary packages awaiting the medal winners when they returned. Some had even been politicised. I guess when the economy was in dire straits, everybody were complaining. While sports was supposed to unite.

It should be fun to see when the dust settled. The politicians would claim that they had a stake in each of the winners effort. Why can't we just let our athletes compete and we support them before they win, rather than bask in their glory after? In that sense, at the back of our most successful Olympic effort, we were not moving forward at all...

Spoilt for Choice

The Olympics was coming into full swing. And things would get even more hectic once the Athletics event start next week. It had been swimming and gymnastics making the headlines. And Malaysian everywhere had been rejoicing on the Silver the Pandalela and partner picked up a couple of nights ago.

I just finished my post-call morning rounds and Diana marrow biopsy this morning. I should get some time off until lunch.

Anita called that one of our friend would be dropping for lunch and she would be cooking. Great!

The boys were in their holidays and they were both still in the pyjamas. I might be able to catch a nap before heading to the afternoon rounds.

Been Behind

I must say I had been occupied in the last few weeks and blogging had fast becoming a chore. I spent some of my free times playing EVE Online as well after picking up where I left during the recent Raya break.

So, I had some backlog of stories to post and one thing led to another. But otherwise things had been good and for the this band the next couple of months, due to shortage in number of staff, I had to do some extra calls.

Better get back to the blog then...
