The 1st Youth Olympic Games is Held In Singapore
The Olympic Games is well-known to everyone.
However, the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) is definitely NEW (click to find out more).
And…we are so excited that the inaugural YOG will be held here in Singapore from 14 - 26 August 2010!
Especially our two sons….
[Don't know since when, they have become such ardent followers of some of the national and international events held in Singapore.]
So, that day, when I was on leave and we wanted to do something meaningful on the morning of Darren’s birthday, we decided to give our support at the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame (JYOF) Torch Relay Day 3.
Haha..besides showing our support, I must say that the boys had FUN as we drove ahead of the relay teams and waited for them at some of the crowd cheering points.
We are happy to experience these rare moments in Singapore’s history, together with many others in Singapore *grin*.
Especially on Darren’s birthday *wider grin*.
Take a look at some of the photos that we have taken at the JYOF Torch Relay *smile*.
Waiting patiently at the roadside, anticipating a grand appearance of the JYOF Torch Relay……
See the large number of supporters on both sides of the road ….
Finally, we caught a close look at the YOG mascots, Merly and Lyo (not in real person) but on the surface of the bus.
It feels good to be youthful again…
Here comes the torch-bearer…
The supporters….
So, the rings of the world will unite here in Singapore in 3 days’ time *smile*.
Three cheers to our homeland - the Garden City of Singapore!
Heard about it in TV but no live telecast though.
*sigh*
oh! I missed it! What a rare experience!
Hi, it is now two days away and we send our best wishes for a successful hosting by Singapore!
