Hady Mirza Wins Asian Idol

The news should be all over Singapore by now, but for anyone disconnected from reality... The second Singapore Idol, Hady Mirza, won the first Asian Idol contest last night. Read all about it here.

So my classmates were actually discussing this about last week, and the consensus seemed to be he'd be voted out at the earliest opportunity. Long years of participating in contests, and failing to get anywhere in said contests, has convinced the general populace that Singapore Never Wins.

Singapore won last night. It's actually won several times in the past, but apparently no one was paying attention then. Well, this was front-page news, so pay attention now. Fellow Singaporeans, it's time to start believing in your own country again.
