Winter Olympic Fever



At the moment, the whole of Germany is suffering the Winter Olympic fever. Itu termasuklah Mamak&Mami. It's a good thing that time difference between Germany and Vancouver is around 8 hours, 8 hours late that is. The live events starts at 18:00, just right because Mamak balik kerja and terus boleh layan Olympics. We both will be watching sampai pukul 12 malam. Semangat tu!



Mamak tu (may Allah bless his soul!) just like me jarang tengok sports on tv. He does not follow the bundesliga or the champions league, which I am really grateful for. Its not that he doesnt like football, he told me playing football is more fun than watching football. His colleague pernah tanya dia why, he said he doesnt feel like he belong to certain teams, so bila dia tengok pun tak semangat. Tapi kalau World Cup or Olympics memang dia semangat la nak menengok, sebab he can cheer for Germany. Mami pun tumpang sekaki la cheering for Germany (wondering bila Malaysia nak hantar athletes join Winter Olympics..hehe..Jamaica and Ghana masing-masing dah hantar wakil)

Walaupun hanya tumpang sekaki, I am still so impressed by the German team. Entahla diorang training macam mana. They are always there fighting and giving their best for their country. I really wonder what makes them push themselves so far. Physical fitness tu takyah cerita la noh, if you see the german bobsleigh riders you will know what I mean. Biathlon pulak 12,5km cross country skiing and riffle shooting, which the gold medalist did under 36minutes! Mami ni baru jalan 1 km dah semput..hehe. As I said, macam mana la diorang training sampai bleh terer. It must be their dicipline or maybe its in the blood.

Germany is currently ranking second to USA, having only 3 bronze medal less compared to USA. If you see how they fight, I guess they deserve every medal. 

Go Germany!
Go Malaysia!

Mami, kita tak terikut pulak winter olimpik kali ni, tak tahu pasai apa takde semangat kali ni. My hubby pulak opposite your mamak, bundesliga pantang terlepas. Akak dah malas nak layan dah, anak2 ikut sama dah lah sorang aje pompuan kat rumah ni. Kita terjebak bila ada worldcup je lah. Germans ni di train dari dalam womb lagi kot, but my hubby said depa punya determination, discipline,concentration, makan, tido suma dok pikir satu bende aje, itu kerja depa tetiap hari for 4 years sebelum the next olimpik setat! Sebab tu terrer. Kalau bagi kat fasha ni, esok lah setat, esoklah nak setat diet, sumanya esok..hampeh kan? hihi
