Robin, body-builders not lah but I thought the ladies in the tennis circuit are Wowee!
ReplyDeleteShe is a champion, everyone is happy for her. But what i really dun like bout malaysia is, after someone wins something huge, they will start to claim credit.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob, thanks for visiting. You've got a point there but I think it's only natural. Who would want to associate with losers?
ReplyDeleteWe can't say that's natural. The credit should go to herself!
ReplyDeleteHi englee, thank you for sharing ur thoughts. Right you are but human nature being what it is, people will tend to claim credit for themselves. It's not such a good thing but it happens. I totally agree with you that Nicol deserves all the credit - no doubt about that.
