Sportsmanship

I watched The Dark Knight again yesterday. Still a nice movie, and I am starting to feel that all the hype about Ledger was slightly over-exaggerated. I liked Oldman more, but oh well.

My extended family's at my place now watching the Singapore table-tennis Olympic match. The television's occupying my peripheral vision as I type this, but it's not something that really interests me. What I liked about sports is that at a world level it shows people who have truly dedicated their entire life to something for the sake of excelling at it, and when you look at people like Phelps, Federer, even people like Woods, and the entire Manchester United team (heh.) you realise that these are people just like every one of us, but have all done extraordinary things in and with their life. It makes you feel like you can achieve, no matter who you are or whatever you're doing.

Somehow the Singapore table-tennis team never gives that kind of feeling. Maybe it's just me. Lack of patriotism stemming from... other factors.
