Singapore YOG 2010

Back from the YOG party @ Universal Studios. Time check : 11:59PM
I had a helllllllllll load of fun there I swear, I LOVE MY YOG TEAM!
The Universal Studios specially had the place opened till 12AM just for the YOG workforce to have fun there. Gosh I LOVE THE YOG!
So this is it, it's officially the end of the Singapore YOG 2010.
I remembered when I didnt even bothered much when I knew the first YOG was gna be hosted in Singapore, I remembered when they asked for volunteers I didn't even bother to think about it.
But fortunately, the school gave me the opportunity to represent our school to host our twinned country Kyrgyzstan in the Youth Olympic Village. And hell I think I was so fortunate to be chosen.
The 4 days in the YOV was tough at some times, standing under the hot sun, explaining to the athletes what and where Kyrgyzstan is. But in the long run, you get the experience the YOG DNA as the motto states, you feel the dedication in the volunteers, how they as one whole youth community contributes to this YOG success. You get to meet athletes from all around the world, knowing that they are just like you and me, youths with a dream. We interacted with the athletes, made new friends. It was really an experience. Socializing with the other schools, helping one other, we bonded. We really did.
This YOG journey has definitely made me more confident, physically and emotionally. I did something that I would never ever do in my life, due to my gutless heart. But I did, and I was so freaking glad I did it. (Thanks Natasha and Najlah, love you girls)
This YOG has definitely made the youths of today more connected, I bet everybody enjoyed their time at the YOG.
So this is it, the end of Singapore YOG 2010. This chance will never ever come to Singapore again in a hundred years or more, it's just such an honour to be involved in it which I initially took it for granted. So if you asked me now, would you have volunteered to be involved in the YOG? My answer?
Hell yes. I swear
Today's Universal Studios was just........ so great. We were crazy and running everywhere(hahaha kids...), going on the rides for the 10th time, taking crazy whacky photos, laughed at practically everything (BRYAN SPITTING HIS DRINK ON ME AH-HEM)
Thanks ESSS YOG Team for making this YOG extra extra memorable for me. I love you guys to death! So here's me, saying "GO TEAM KYRGYZSTAN" for the last time.
Thank you for giving Singapore a chance to relive this once in a life time dream.
Haha I know this post is long, wordy and cheesy but this is the only way I can express how fortunate I am to have this opportunity, REALLY!
Pictures from today at the Universal Studios will be posted up soon, probably by tomorrow or Friday.
School starts in 7 hours from now, I've yet to showered yet haha
I still feel the adrenaline in me. I don't think I can sleep tonight :)
Once again, for the 107263th time I'm gna say this.
I LOVE YOG!
But baby, where they knock you down and out
Is where you oughta stay
