YOG...IS OVER!!!!
firstly, i'm sad cos the flame is gone and everyone is going home.
then, i;m happy cos Singapore did it and i can't be more proud :)
i went to the closing with denise and when i saw the flame going out, i really felt like crying :(
but then Mr Jacques Rogge said 'we can look back and say I was in Singapore, where it all began' and i felt so proud :D
omg I <3 YOG!! :)
I <3 Singapore :)
then i went to youtube the video where Singapore 2010 was announced when we were bidding for it
i saw lots of not so good comments about Singapore, like 'this will be the first time the host country does not win a medal'
EXCUSE ME. we got 5 ok?
i know we can't compare to China etc., but for us, just hosting the YOG makes every Singaporean feel like we have won something far greater than gold. :)
:D
i also went to watch gymnastics (girls prelim)17/8, table tennis quater finals on sun 22/8, athletics finals on monday 23/8, girls football on tues 24/8 and boys football finals 25/8 :)
at the gym event, i watched Viktoria Komova compete!!! :D omg!!! :)
she was wearing a sparkly green leotard and i got a few videos of her :)
then during table tennis i watched our very own Isabelle Li win Croatia's paddler :)
athletics was crazy :D haha i went with Christine and she dragged me of to get photos and autographs of the athletes :) we mainly got the USA team :) omg they were all so tall!!!
girls football wasnt so boring as everyone said it would be... the finals even ended with a penalty shootout, which, in my opinion, held me on the edge of my seat :)
In the end Chile won thanks to an overwhelming crowd of Chilean supporters and their star of a goalkeeper who managed to save the goal that led them to victory :)
boys football was the best of course with Singapore's Cubs playing for bronze :)
i even brought my Singpore flag and wore it haha :D
got lots of photos and videos of everything :)
shall slowly put them up... maybe one day one event?
i also have closing and opening (bts) photos and videos :D
shall slowly load them too :)
closing was great, but opening was definitely better :)
i thought that opening was a party to welcome the world to Singapore
and closing was a party for the stars of YOG, our dear athletes :)
opening was awesome too!!! and i still remember my heart beating like 1000 times a minute backstage, especially when the national anthem was finishing, which meant that it was showtime for Origins!
i watched a youtube video shot by a spectator at the green zone about the origin performance, and i thought our lightsticks were ok :)
but what was most pissing that someone STOLE my lightstick after the performance!!! :(
we could bring it back but someone just took it away just as i turned my back :(
oh and they STILL havent given me my performer's pass :(
i want that pass so badly :(
shall find some way to get the purple volunteer shirts haha XD
i bought lyo and merly pins :) (being the badge and pin collector as i am :P)
shall put photos of them :)
and Lyo and Merly toys are SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
my mum also wants them and we went to AMK hub to see if there were any left...
Sadly they were all returned to HQ...
my mum wants to call the YOG HQ and ask if we can buy some haha XD
hope we can! Lyo and Merly are like the faces of SYOG :D
anyway i hope that through my videos and photos, you can see the spirit of YOG through my eyes,
and the Singapore YOG sprit will live on forever!!!
I'm so glad i was a part of this special part of history :)

Can you believe it??? YOG opening was LAST NIGHT.
that means...
IT'S OVER!!
I don't know whether to be happy or sad...
Happy cos YOG is finally here and the world got to see Singapore
or sad cos it's over and all that's left is memories...
I guess its neither good or bad...
Just AWESOME!! :)
I shall call this post:
YOG - Blazing the Trail
For months, we have been putting our all into more than 100 hours worth of rehearsals just for a 7 minute performance last night.
The 34-student strong YOG Nanyang Girls joined Origins, guided by the one and only:
MISS PRICILLIA!! (i hope this is how you spell her name)
And i still remember our very first rehearsal in Damai :)
Miss Pricillia was doing warm ups with us and i ALREADY couldnt catch up :P
hehe :)
ok this is supposed to be published on 15th Aug 2010. just realised it wasnt haha :P

Hi! Sorry havent been posting for a while cos exams just ended and doing quite abit of stuff now :)1. Watching Pi Li MIT (much to Carissa's delight)
2. Yog rehearsals
Yeah ok so that's mainly the ongoing things right now :P
Quite slow with Pi Li MIT cos of the stupid youtube thing... quite slow sometimes
Mysoju is even worse and sugoideas can't find it
So i am stuck with age-old youtube :)
I think Pi Li MIT is quite interesting la :) i like the detective part (it's been a while since i watched detective dramas etc.) but sometimes it gets abit too complicated for my pea brain and i get confused, plus it's in Chinese haha so i can't grasp it that fast :)
So, exams ended last wed (almost one week!! how time flies :P) and have had super alot of yog rehearsals - wed, thurs and sat. there's one tomorrow so i hope that one goes well as it is mre or less our last rehearsal... YOG JIA YOU!!! :)
ok, wed YOG, thurs YOG
Fri cross country in the morning (barely ran cos the YOG shoes cut my feet.. super pain)
then after cross country i finally could relax like after-exam relax :)
went orchard with D!! :) (as usual :P)
Let me describe our whole endevour (if thats how you spell it :P)
First, we missed FOUR buses. Can you believe it?
At Macritchie, there were two buses in our faces, but by the time we realised we could take them, they drove off.
Then at the busstop opp st margaret's, we just got off 93 when the 174 in front of us drove off... super pissed...
then waited for another 174, that one literally drove off in our faces cos it was too full :(
so yeah we were super tired, super hungry and super pissed.
by the time we (finally) got to Ion, the Swensens queue was ok la... but the food came damn slow :(
we were waiting for our food for so long that we decided to order side dishes as well but turned out that by the time we were halfway done with the main course, we were already too full to carry on :P haha :D but i forced down my prawn side dish (ok, i left ONE) and i actually ordered a sundae!! haha :D
when we finished, i was so freaking full that i felt like puking (but the food was great :) so walked around abit, went Kino (like full-fledged nerds :P - thanks D) and found that we were so tired and sleepy like we were walking around in a daze :) haha :D
ohohoh i also found Cheryl's long overdue bday pressie.. shall not put it up here lest she comes and reads (which is quite impossible but just in case...) cos i havent given it to her yet :P
Sat, YOG
Sun National Day eve so Geraldine's uncle invited us to Marina residences for BBQ! :)
Lemme say that the view was AWESOME.
You could see the whole Marina area from the 17 storey pool!!! :D
So of course i went swimming (short while only la...) but i lay on my back and looked up at the three towers around the pool :) so awesome!! :D
Must rmb to post the pics... thought you can't really tell how magnificent the view was thanks to my awesomely lousy camera skills :P
Mon - yesterday - national day... slept till 2pm (havent done that since forever :P)
watched Pi Li MIT whole day (afternoon) until the national day parade :)
watched it on TV... i have to say that i LOVE CORRINE MAY!!! She is my fav Singaporean singer!! I love her Five Loaves and Two Fishes and Journey which had a cover done by Angela Zhang in the drama Love At The Dolphin Bay :) AHHHHH
Corinne May LOVE :D
the fireworks were awesome :)
supposed to go back to Marina Residences to look at the fireworks but did'nt go cos Mum and Dad dun wan :P
FINE :P
I saw the pics of fireworks from the Skypark in the papers anyway :)
Really awesome!! :)
Today, finally went to watch Au Revior Taipei with Carissa!! :)
erm quite disappointed la but at least it was kind of cute :)
and at some parts it was just so stupid you had to laugh :)
Actually not much storyline la
just this guy who want to go to Paris to see his girlfriend
yea... they didnt even show paris!!! :(
but Amber Kuo was really cute and her voice was so sweet and special :)
it was also kind of a promotional movie for Taiwan so they showed all the Taiwan street food and all :)
Really brought me back to Taiwan :) haha :D
i would'nt watch it again but i don't regret it that's for sure :)
