Olympic Glory: DIY or ‘Buy’?

 

We are a ‘fast nation’. Everything we want we want it fast. We want fast answers, fast solutions, fast deliveries & fast results.

Example: when we don’t have sport talents to represent us for the Olympic games, no problem. We started the Olympic Pathway Programme (OPP) or the ‘foreign talent’ door. Just lure them here, spend few million dollars, give them citizenships & make them wear our t-shirts to represent us. After their sport careers are over, where are they now? Most just renounced their citizenships & went back to their home countries to continue their lives. Does this program contribute to our sports progression? Well, many other countries are also doing the same thing. You make your own judgment and conclusion. 

Olympic: Personal Glory vs Public Safety

 

It is a very big mistake to go ahead with this game. It may be a dream come true for many but is personal glory more important than public safety? Those decision-makers think so even with losses. The host country will lose big! After the curtain comes down, the host country will have to face and deal with this big infection problem by themselves. Oneself eats oneself liao!

Happy Hour Sad Days Ahead

 

Thanks to many errant people, we now have the biggest cluster and are back to tightened restrictions again. Many are surprised and disappointed that such blunders have had also happened here. My guess is either our big bro took the wrong advice or no thorough risk assessment was carried out or both before allowing them to operate. Can these businesses be converted to F&B outlets? All of them don’t have a kitchen by setup. Maybe can but everyone knows people congregate and flock to these places not for the food or drinks! Something else is on their minds.

Fast and Furious 10

 

Thanks to the coronavirus, many activities have ceased or disappeared. No problem. There are still many activities we can do to congregate and have fun in the dark. Just don’t let our ‘big bro’ catch us. The key is you can wear nothing while having fun but don’t remove your running shoes!

Too Fast Too Furious

 

Before the pandemic, when my friends wanted to meet me for coffee, I would say: Welcome, welcome!

Now with COVID-19 still raging fast and furious, I tell my friends: Don’t Come, don’t come…… as I’m still trying to avoid crowded places.

But my friends tell me they are bringing me good news, goodies and free-stuff, and ask me why they cannot come. I tell them they have heard it wrongly. I said: Don’t come empty handed lah!
