Time and tide waits for no man

"Let the Dreams Begin" - so reads the motto of New York's bid for the hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games. It's a very romantic tack.Even Mohamad Ali is here to lend his support in the spirit of the Games, not to mention Nadia Comaneci, Ian Thorpe, Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Paul simon, Tony Blair, David Beckham, Sebastian Coe, Spain's Queen Sofia, France's Jacques Chiraq, Princess Anne, the list goes on. We're star-struck !

Slogans - Here's the roundup :
PARIS         L'Amour des Jeux (Love of the Games).
NEW YORK   Let the Dreams Begin
MOSCOW     Imagine it Now.
LONDON      Make Britain Proud.
MADRID       Ready For You

Personally, I think London will pass muster and pick up the honours. In any case, we'll know tonight at 7.30pm, here at the Raffles City Convention Centre. Of course, all are distinguished and worthy of praise. But hey, you know what ? If you ask me, I wish Singapore would be the one to host the Games. With all the buzz going on, I've almost forgotten all about my hapless bone. To dream the impossible.........
a 21 sec 50m Freestyle swoosh,
a 9.5 sec 100m dash,
etc.

But that's what we all need - dreams.

(Edit : London it is >>>7:51pm Singapore time)
