conclusion of yog handball
finally everything is over!
for the girls:
gold medal: denmark
silver medal: russia (haiz the number 5 player must be very sad)
bronze medal: brazil.
for the boys:
gold medal: egypt
silver medal: korea
bronze medal: france.
during the victory ceremony, one of the volunteers was telling me that she cant believe that she is right here witnessing such a major event, and the feeling is so cool and magical, which i totally agree with her. i had a tinge of 感动-ness when the victory ceremony anthem was being played. the whole handball event and the whole youth olympics have been a success! :)
after that we went to oscars restaurant which is at conrad hotel for a celebration supper. and i reach home at two am. -.-'''
today i went to suntec again to shop for my dad's birthday present. it is just so natural for me to go there because i have been going there for the past six days. and then i was drinking tea at mongkok cafe and i saw my competition manager, li laoshi. we had a nice chat and i learnt alot of stuff about him. he was also the competition manager for beijing 2008 olympics handball, and world handball championship 2009!!! wow no wonder he was highly recommended by IHF to be the competition manager for yog handball.
tomorrow can go back to sch and see my students! i am sure they miss me terribly. hahahahaha.

wednesday post
i think after this post, i will not be blogging again until a week later. handball competition starts on friday, all the way until next wednesday. i have to reach suntec as early as 9 am, and can only leave at 11 plus at night. woo hoo. more siong than teaching in school.
yesterday the yog volunteers received an sms, telling us to be more disciplined, meaning cannot wear slippers with our yog uniform, only can wear covered shoes. and we are not allowed to take photos!
i think the taking photos is a bit too strict. its understandable if we cant take photos of overseas athletes training or competing.
but surely we can take photos of ourselves with our fellow volunteers, or take photos with overseas athletes (if they are willing), for memories' sake?
and i only took photos with 3 pple so far, in my yog uniform. :(
yuliang, my gay buddy in PESS. haha. anyway the boys in the background are from the korean handball team.
sarah, netball and handball player. studying in ntu. she got a twin sister studying in nus. i think i got upload their photo in my blog before. haha.
janice, a sec 2 volunteer from k_ _t r_dge secondary. she is also a dancer! she learnt chi dance in pri sch, and now she is learning hip hop, jazz and modern. she said the first time she saw me (which was a few weeks ago when all of us went to suntec and YOV to jalan jalan) she can tell that i am a dancer.
so on monday we were quite bored, and i taught her and her friends the ACES day dance! hahahaha.
will show you all the ACES day dance after ACES Day itself, which is on 31st august
i think most of the NUSCD dancers will have a good laugh. :p

monday post
if anyone of you still dunno, i am released from sch for two weeks to help out in YOG Handball. my role is the FOP (Field Of Play) manager.
today i went back to sch to clear some admin stuff. and then i proceeded to YOV (Youth Olympic Village). i think its really amazing how NIE has transformed to become YOV, and its amazing times 10 to see the overseas athletes train handball. i am very thankful to be involved in such a major event, and to be involved in a sport that i really love to play. :)
ok, here's the lunch!
we can take ice lemon tea, ice green tea, coca cola, 100 plus and orange juice! so is quite welfare for the volunteers. :)
our beloved multi-purpose hall, which has become the training hall for handball:
so handball got two training halls. one at jurong west sports hall. the other one at YOV. obviously most of the athletes love the YOV training hall because got air con! haha.

how i spent my national day long weekend holiday
7th august - watch yog opening ceremony rehearsal with darling.
8th august - slack at home.
9th august - went to my uncle's condo for a family gathering. darling came along too! i got this feeling of bliss when i introduced her to my relatives.
myself: 三舅, this is my girlfriend, yueting.
cheeky 三舅: ohhhh!!! hello girlfriend!
went to the rooftop garden at 41st floor to watch the ndp fireworks. the fireworks were marvellous. i envy my uncle because his house is very nice, and he can watch fireworks from his balcony! he stays on 36th floor.
singapore's city landscape is really quite pretty at night.
that is not our son. that is my nephew. hahaha.
they are so cute~!
10th august - dance practise in the morning at CCAB for teachers' conference performance. after that rush to nus ucc for dance performance. thank goodness CCAB is just beside nus law school and i can take the shuttle bus from nus law school. the travelling time is quite fast!
anyway before the performance we had a full dress rehearsal. and we totally screwed up the full dress rehearsal. very messy. i stand at the back so i can see very clearly. after the rehearsal ding laoshi's face was so black and so pissed, and she called us to the dressing room and gave us the ultimate hairdryer treatment that will make alex ferguson proud. seriously i nv see her so angry before. so we woke up our idea and listen to the music one million times before the actual performance, and thank goodness it was much better.
and that marks the end of the national day long weekend holiday.

yog opening ceremony rehearsal
morning i went to nus for dance practise. afternoon went to syog for meeting, and also to collect my yog uniforms and accredition pass.
handsome, yes? my friend ask me why i 笑到这样灿烂. hahahaha.
in the evening i met up with darling at city hall mrt and we went to esplanade floating platform to watch the rehearsal for yog opening ceremony. before the start of the rehearsal, the producer told everyone to be prepared for technical glitches and other mistakes, since this was a rehearsal.
but honestly, i thought that the show was quite a disappointment. too many 冷场. dun have that wow factor. darling was also quite 纳闷 because she watched rag yesterday and the standard of the rag performances was so much higher. but the videographics were cool. fireworks were nice too.
on another note, its also impossible to feature an opening ceremony as splendid as beijing olympics. we dun have zhang yi mou. we dun have 100 million pple. so based on the limited resources and talents that we have, putting up this opening ceremony is already quite a marvelous effort.
