Singapore hosts the first Youth Olympics ever. When I saw the news broadcast on TV, I just feel 'Wow! Singapore hosting the YOG!' and nothing else.
As the days get nearer, there are booths selling merchandises, promotion events in Orchard Road, and YOG buses on the road. The feeling starts to grow.
I went to the YOG Celebration @ the Marina Bay, and I knew the next day will be the Opening Ceremony of the big event. Suddenly, I feel that the organiser has really done a good job. Many months earlier, a big countdown timer was placed at Orchard Road, performances along Orchard Road, YOG buses test driving, and of course, JJ Lin's frequent appearance on TV with 'Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah, You are the one, Singapore...' (Ahem... I think some like some don't like, but who cares!).
I was watching the swimming competition on TV, in the office, (yes, yes, in the office, but I never stare at the TV, I just watched one match only) and I have a strong sense of pride. Olympics, you know, and all the athletics are in Singapore now!!! I ever thought, when Olympics were held in other countries, people from different countries will flock in and support their athletics. Won't they feel proud? This week, tourists come to this small island, and I have a strong sense of pride, and feel like shouting out, 'Welcome!!!' (Hahaha, a bit crazy right, but it's ok. I am always not normal at the first place.)
Anyway, I hope all our guests will enjoy their stay in Singapore this week, and have fun going to places of interest. Eat, play and shop!
