Went to Raffles City today to welcome Team Singapore home and to see the accomplished paddlers first hand. Other treats included Chen Diya, Carrie Yeo and JJ LIN!!!! OMG the crowd went wild when JJ came out!!..

and my oh my were the loudest screams reserved for FENG TIANWEI!!..when Daniel Ong prompted for Tianwei to say a few words to the people that were there, the crowd erupted into a roar with a couple of people shouting "FENG TIANWEI WO AI NI!!" haha..but i dun think she heard them cos the atmosphere was pretty loud and i had to listen carefully to hear what each of them said. Luckily i took a few videos, hee, i thought that there was gonna be an autograph session since they were giving out free posters and i even brought my red bat case along with 3 TT balls for them to sign, but too bad, there wasn't any, sigh, i hope they have another event like that again.

initially wanted to go to the airport to welcome them as well, but dad said might as well head to Raffles City instead, saw on the news that there were lots of people at the airport as well, wa, nowadays Singaporeans all no need to work or stay after school wan ah?..all so free like me, an unemployed uni grad..lolz..they went round Sg heartlands like Chai Chee, Geylang Serai and Orchard Road on the deck of the Hippo bus where the news captured alot of Singaporeans along the streets and on bridges waving the mini sg flag and long balloon thingy..

overall, am really glad that i went there to show my support for them, they truly made each and everyone of us proud, amidst all the flak about foreign "bought" talent and what not, they flew the Sg flag no matter what people say..and I AM SO PROUD OF THEM!!!..YEAH!!
