the olympics has been a very memorable and special event in my life.
1996: was 9 years old, watching the atlanta olympics at tapah with gong gong (granddad). he was very excited about the track and field events which got me curious as to what the fuss was about. he also told me that the olympics is an event which happens only every 4 years, the most prestigious sporting event ever.
2000: was 13 years old. in form 1. the olympics in 2000 was hosted by aussie. it was pretty interesting being allowed to watch the track and field events from school during 'Jasmani'.
2004: was 17 years old in form 5. senior year. preparations for SPM was underway and there wasnt much time to observe the events in athens. nevertheless, the school still allowed us to catch up to events during 'PE' (Jasmani)
2008: now 21 years old, final year in university in good ol' ozzie. this time the olympics will be held in beijing. although i am slightly dissapointed with the preparations so far, which failed to address the issue of pollution, i will still be watching it, especially the track and field events. not placing any high hopes on records being broken though, but we shall see.
