Was on the bus when I watched a bit of TV Mobile... It was showing the SEA games.
And I saw this very young gymnastics girl, who was struggling on the single beam. She fell down a few times and was close to tears. However, she managed to finish her routine after all. Later, I got home to know that she is our representative, Nicole Tay, who is only 14-years old. While she got 6th place for the single beam event, she proceeded to win the floor event.

I thought it was quite touching to see her persevering there, with everyone watching her. None of us could really know how she felt then.
"Even if your heart breaks, it will still continue beating. Life goes on."
