Commonwealth Games 2014

Do you like the new theme of my blog ?
I made it myself.
lol.



The 2014 Commonwealth at Glasgow had officially ended !
and Malaysia didn't do that badly at all with 6 golds, 7 silvers and 6 bronzes .
Although we didn't manage to reach the 7 gold mark, this year we had an outstanding amount of new, young athletes who bag a number of golds for us instead of the usual veteran athletes
which is great news actually because frankly, the veteran athletes are getting older and we need new athletes to continue their legacy and domination in the sport.

I only watched Badminton, Weightlifting, Gymnastics & Diving usually because I find those to be the most interesting.
What I am never interested in ?
Table tennis & Squash.
I think the most surprising athlete of this Commonwealth Games for Malaysia was Ooi Tze Liang.
If you are a Malaysian and you don't know this name yet then you must live under a rock, and a pretty huge one too.
No one actually expected him to do so well or even knew his name until he got a gold in the 3m Mens Diving.
He also bagged a silver in 10m Mens Diving and a bronze in Mens Synchronized Diving.
Two claps for Ooi Tze Liang ! 
Looks like we Malaysians have another person to cheer on for the Olympics other than Pandalela and Lee Chong Wei now :)

Another person who came my eye was the Australian diver, Esther Qin who bagged a gold in the Womens 3m Diving .
Her diving was so beautiful and her entry was constantly smooth and also no splash at all.
She seriously deserved that gold.

That will be the end of my Commonwealth Games post.
I have a busy week ahead .
With BM ULBS, Add Maths exam, co-curiculum activities & Accounts class.
I feel like I'm always staying back in school this whole week when all I want to do is go home and collapse on my bed.
At least if I get it done now, I can dump it into the trash bin in my brain and forget all about it.
Now that's a positive thought.
