Olympics Rio 2016

How do I sum up my feelings about the 2016 Olympics? How my heart is bursting with pride with our athletes' achievements and making waves (diving), landmarks and going all out to bring glory to my little country - Malaysia? How I cried in anguish and despair at the badminton team for being so close yet so far. How the gold eludes us and although it is just one point out of our grasp ... it is just not ours .... this year. Come Olympics Tokyo 2020, I believe we will rise again and give our all with our hearts, body and soul to achieve the Olympic gold. This song was performed by the late Whitney Houston at the 1988 Los Angeles Olympics. It expresses exactly what every Olympic athlete feels and goes through.


One Moment In Time

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

My respect and salute to all the athletes who have taken part and was a part of Rio Olympics. My thanks and appreciation to the athletes who have won a medal to bring pride and honour to themselves and the country ... until the next Olympics....
