Being small has its advantages. why do you think singapore won the youth olympic games? for once, you dont hear people lamenting about the small land size, small population, small talent pool, small opposition, small mrt seats, etc etc.. now suddenly, its great to be small. the capital of the world's biggest country was passed over in favour of a little red dot. we are "compact" and everything "within easy reach". but if remember correctly, wasnt 2010 the year we made it to the world cup? our foreign born talent were supposed to be strutting their fancy football skills in front of other similar teams like, you know, brazil and argentina and germany and italy and so on. so now we've got the YOG. got to take what you get i suppose.
