Joseph Isaac Schooling, you are a Singapore Legend now. Our first Olympic Gold! Well done!!!
Er, got Public Holiday or not ah?
Dear Gahmen, we should follow the Fiji Gahmen example leh. You see? They declared Public Holiday right away leh.
But then Joseph won on a Saturday, so even if declare the next day a holiday, also Boh Hua.
Man, what an incredible swim. Schooling clocked 50.39s for his final, the only one to go below 51 seconds, beating his hero Michael Phelps. And the silvers were tied three ways. So drama.
I still marvel at his form. Butterfly is damn hard lor! I feel like a floundering overweight whale when I swim it.
In case you're thinking of buying 5039 for 4D, you're too late. Sold out already.
When it comes to buying hot numbers, we are all Olympic Gold medalists in Singapore pools.
Can you imagine the uproar if the Gahmen and Mediacorp didn't broadcast the Olympics live, on our most epic national sporting moment?
Remember this?
"The decision not to have live broadcasts of the sporting action at the upcoming Olympic Games remains a commercial one."
Yeah. You heng ah.
My Whatsapp chats are exploding with this news and the jokes are flying fast and furious. Example:
Child: "Mom! Mom! Is Monday a public holiday???"
Mum: "Er, no. Because all children love Schooling now!"
I think the most popular names for the next generation of kids will be:
1. Joseph
2. Isaac
3. Huat Ah
You know what? In honour of Joseph Schooling's win, today I shall go forth and eat some Yew Char Kuay and… Butterfly.
