“Singapore erupted in celebration on Thursday after winning the right to host the inaugural Youth Olympics in 2010, with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong calling it a new era for Southeast Asian sport.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded the Games to the city-state ahead of Moscow. It will be the first time that Singapore has hosted a multi-disciplinary sporting event of such a magnitude.” – The Channel News Asia
While watching the news, my daddy screamed “GOAL” so loudly that I nearly dropped my dinner plate. At first I thought it was some football match, then I realized it is because we have won the right to host the Youth Olympics.
I was eating in the kitchen and I shouted: “SIAO AH! NOT LIKE U WIN 4D!”
Then my blur and dumb Mummy, like lost in the world of her own, came to kitchen, asking me: “Singapore host Youth Olympics, why so happy hur?”
I nearly fainted.
On one extreme, my daddy screamed in excitement. On the other, my mother don’t know why people so happy.
So, I have to stand in the middle right?
But, I really feel proud to be a Singaporean. With:
- Singapore Flyer
- Integrated Resort @ The Marina Bay Sands
- Casino @ Sentosa
- Formula 1
And now Youth Olympics, I am sure Singapore will be a more vibrant city by then! And we will have more FUN! Whee!
That reminds me,
FUNGIE FUNGIE! Our Hippo Tour and DHL balloon! :D
