Ping Pong Orgasm - Does money buy everything?

"The Man Behind the Medal" said in ST, 'I also identified Zhang Yining, But the Chinese said 'no, no, no, this one you can't take. She is our future world champion'. She was only 12 and they already knew.'
Choo Wee Khiang, on spotting the women's world No 1 during one of his first scouting trips to China"

Woah .... reminds me of slave trading!

I remember there used to be Ping Pong Diplomacy between USA and China in early 70's, I think, where real Americans played with real Chinese.

Today it's Ping Pong Orgasm in Singapore! Look out for more song and dance in msm so that our attention can be taken away from the real (no medal, no bronze, no silver, no gold) trying-to-make-ends-meet state that we are in.

Even PM's National Day Rally Speech telecast (meant to be this evening) has to be postponed to tomorrow instead. Wonder why the real speech is still on tonight. Maybe those folks attending the life speech tonight are matured enough to know that it's no big deal whether the China/Singaporean Team or the China/Chinese Team gets gold or silver.

After reading ST's "The Man Behind the Medal", I'm amazed that money and shopping can be so much fun! Shopping for things is one thing, shopping for people? Shopping for citizens? And the Beatles tell me "Money can't buy me love"!

I know EPL soccer managers buy footballers for their clubs. Orgasmic as it may be, but country buying sports talents for momentary national pride and making such a show about it is a little hard to swallow.

Well, if we can buy sex, we can buy medals too!

I have nothing against the China/Singaporean ping pong medalists and I wish them well with the huge cash prizes they will receive from Singapore. And hope that they, unlike some other imported athletes who 'ran road', will stay and prove that our money is well spent.

I'm still very proud though. The real true blue Singaporean Olympic Silver Medalist is still Uncle Tan Howe Liang!

I hope that the orgasmic ping pong journey will stop soon after being mentioned by the PM in his rally speech (which I bet on) . After tomorrow, let's get over it and concentrate on the job at hand, that is, Help For The Poor; MM. It's so nice to know that it's now been acknowledged that there are poor in Singapore. Oh, some believe that poverty has been eradicated and there are no beggars in Singapore.
