19. Okay. What time is medal ceremony?

20. 9:49am? Okay, BRB, brush teeth first.

21. While brushing teeth: "By the time I finish brushing my teeth, Schooling already finish 100m."

22. Social media time. All the posts macham national day messages man.

23. Feel so patriotic. Still cannot believe it though.

24. I think we deserve a public holiday. How about Olympic Day? Or Schooling Day?

25. No need to do NS lah. Win Olympic Gold better than winning ATEC.

26. Medal ceremony nao!
