Sky in the Park.

My Malaysian friend came down to Singapore for holiday. So today, I decided to bring him to Marina Bay Sands and see the great scenery at the SKY PARK. We pay the entrance fees of SGD$20 at the ticketing counter and we took the lift to 56F.

When we step into the Sky Park, we are impressed! The scenery is brilliant! Especially the sunset! Every visitors was impressed and happy to see the great view. Although SGD$20 is expensive but it is worth it!

I had no regret to bring my friend to Sky Park!

Cheers.

Bid Good Bye to Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games

Yesterday, 26 August 2010 was the last day for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games which is held in Singapore! It was a sad moment that everyone will be bid good bye to Youth Olympic Games. For the past 2 weeks, everyone was watching and catching the sport and support and cheer their own country athletes.

Everyone was impressed and beyond expectations for Inaugural Youth Olympic Games. Some of the IOC members regret not to bring their best athletes to compete in Youth Olympic Games. All the hard work from the SYOG members, volunteers and the sponsors are pay off! Everyone is grateful to the volunteers. Without the volunteers, the inaugural Youth Olympic Games will not be success!

As for me, I am proud to be the volunteer for the Youth Olympic Games. Yesterday we had a great party. We are lucky as our venue is close to the Marina Float Platform (Stadium) for the closing ceremony.

We watched LIVE telecast through our iPhone app from SingTel and StarHub. At the same time we could catch the fireworks in full view!! The scenery was so beautiful!! Everyone took photographs for the last moment.

President Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee told 3600 athletes, “Years from now, when you reflect on your sports career, you will be able to say ‘I was in Singapore, where it all began’. You will keep this Singapore spirit alive in your countries as true role models. Let's the Singapore spirit to be live on!"

At 2101, the Youth Olympic Games fire flame was put out. Everyone was silents and it marks the end of the festival. Everyone bid farewell to the inaugural Youth Olympic Games. This is not the end of the journey but it is a brand new beginning for Youth Olympic Games.

In Year 2014, Nanjing, China will take over Singapore and host the 2nd Youth Olympic Games in summer. I'm sure that Nanjing host a great success for the Youth Olympic Games.

See you there in Nanjing, China in Year 2014!

It was a very tough and great game match for the girl team in volleyball. Many locals (Host city) and Peru supporters came down to Toa Payoh Sport Hall to support their home team.

There are many cheering and excitement to watch this match. Singapore try to defend the players from Peru but failed and it was really tough game for Singapore to score.

In this match, there are many Technical Time Out. Both countries substitute new player in and old player out. For instant, Peru team substitute Player 9 IN to Player 1 OUT. Peru player 11 OUT substitute player 12 IN.

There are loud cheering for Team Singapore when the girls score a point for Singapore. In the end, Peru wins all the three rounds as follows:

Round 1, SIN 11 VS Peru 25.
Round 2, SIN 13 VS Peru 25.

We Did It! Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games

14 August 2010- Today is the historical moment for Singapore and everyone is excited to look forward for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) which will be held here! Singapore did not host any Olympic Games before and this could be the first and the last time or maybe few hundred years that Singapore will be held the YOG again!

Many volunteers and sponsors came and help out in making a great success for the YOG. I also came forward to be YOG volunteer. All we want to do is to be a great host to our Athletes and their families and friends and overseas guest who will be here to support their local athletes.

Do you know that it all started in Year 2001, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge's started to have Youth Olympic Games idea. In year 2007, all the IOC members approved to create YOG. 10 August 2007, Singapore submit a bid to host the event. In 21 January 2008, Singapore and Moscow are the two finalist in the bid to host the Youth Olympic Games. 21 February 2008 at 1911 hours, Singapore was announced to host YOG from IOC President.

Singapore only have 2.5 years to prepare for the YOG and the next host city will have 6 years to prepare for the YOG!

We only have the short period to prepare and today is the day where we will be showing our results to the whole world to see!

Members of the public went to the Marina Marina Float Platform (Stadium) quite early before the gate opens to the public at 1600 hours.

My aunt and myself will be watching it LIVE at the stadium as we got for the ticket. The time is 1600 hours but there are some delay, therefore the gate will not be open. By 1620 hours, the gates are opens are many people are dashing through to the security check point and everyone tapping the world first integrated ticket card which includes VISA electronic debit card, Transportation card where you can ride it for free during the Opening/Closing Ceremony and the race games itself.

The ushers also gave everyone a interact kit coupon (Goodies Bag) where we can collect it when we reach the Marina Float Platform (Stadium). Towards the Marina Float Platform, there are two stores. One is selling the food and drink and other stall is selling the Singapore 2010 items.

When we reach the stadium, let me tell you the scenery here! It is the most beautiful landscape view that I ever seen! From there, you can see the Central Business District (CBD), the Merlion Park and the newly completed Marina Bay Sands!

At 1900 hours, the event had started with dance and song. At 20:10 hours, the Youth Olympic Game will be official commerce! The IOC President, Jacques Rogge's, Singapore President, Mr S.R. Nathan, Singapore Senior Minister, Mr Goh Chok Tong and many officials are here to watch the important moment!

Great performance, Great Fire Work and the stage design look like a lake! When the performers carry the Singapore flag and the 27,000-strong audience start Singing the National Anthem of Singapore. At this moment, I feel proud and sense of belonging! All our hard work and efforts is worth it! The whole world is watching this tiny city country which many will think that we could not able to archive. But we prove them wrong!

Then every countries flag was showcase and the President of Singapore, Mr S.R. Nathan declare the opening of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games with Fireworks!

After that the torch bearer arrives at the Marina Floating platform and one of the lucky torch bear Sailor Darren Choy from Team Singapore running the final stretch of the torch journey and light up the flame.

Finally, the former Olympic athletes present the Olympic flag to the Youth Olympic athletes and walk toward to flag pole and everyone start to sing the Olympic anthem.

I enjoyed myself and very happy. Singapore have successful showcase to the World that we can host such a grand and glories moment! What more important is that we are part of the historic and our names will be written down to our next generation to the next generation.

Well done Singapore! To all the Athletes, please have a great time and enjoy yourself while you are in Singapore! All the best to you!
