It was a rare Sunday evening with everyone, including Ah Ma (who unexpectedly stayed home due to the cancellation of her usual mahjong game), glued to the tv in the living room and having an equally rare tv dinner as we watched the excruciatingly exciting women's table-tennis final between China and Singapore.
It was an entertaining and admirable battle despite the predictable outcome and during the 'victory ceremony' we stood proudly as the Singapore flag was hoisted alongside the flags of China and Korea - a momentous occasion indeed for our country.
What made it even more memorable for me was the experience of witnessing the entire event together with the whole family at home. Though it's been only a week since the NDP evening we spent at The Sail, it felt good to be sitting around the tv watching something so historic together. And this time, I believe I can speak for A when I say that the fireworks were in our hearts.
