IT'S all over!

Hi everyone. Events are finally over!

The swimming team ended with a bang!

Thanks to my swim mate Pin Xiu, who won Singapore’s first gold medal in the Paralympics. This Paralympic outing has been a rather successful one and it has all been made possible by a group of fantastic people.

The swim team may be small but I think we pack a punch. I’d also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Laurentia on her 2 bronze medals. Eric, Jovin and Desiree complete this wonderful Singapore Paralympic team.

This is our best Paralympic showing so far and we are all very proud to be a part of this.

I’m now going off to sleep and I look forward to going back to Singapore.

Home sweet home.
