hectic hong kong

Before I knew it, I had two jobs, one at Star TV as a producer for Prime Sports and another producing CD-ROMS. At the same time, I started training for the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. And again I was thrilled to see just how much I could do. I worked from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday at the CD-ROM Company. Then I would take the ferry over to Kowloon side and work 9pm to 9am three days a week at STAR TV. I worked the graveyard shift and then all day Saturday. So I slept every other night and would nap whenever I had the chance. I trained for the Barcelona Paralympics during my lunch hour. I remember swimming down the lane thinking, "If I close my eyes I can take a little nap between now and when I hit the wall." So I swam during my lunch hour and lifted weights before work in the mornings. In the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics, I set a world record for the 100-meter breaststroke and won Silver and Bronze medals.
