Just yesterday, on the 13th of August, Low Wei Jie of Compassvale Primary School (P6-2) became a torch bearer for the Youth Olympic Games!
My friends and I came to support him and we were indeed very proud of him.
My classmates and schoolmates even appeared in an article in The Straits Times!
Wei Jie is on the front page of the newspaper too!
And of course....

The opening ceremony will be at 7.45pm and there will definitely be a lot of spectacular performances!

On the 13th of August (yesterday), Wei Jie took his turn to become a torchbearer. My class (P6-2) and two other classes; P6-3 and P6-9 took a half-and-hour bus ride to The YOG Headquarters at Kay Siang Rd. Wei Jie also appeared on today's front cover of the Straits Times entitled; "Wei Jie's BIG DAY". In the newspaper itself, there was another article entitled, "Wei Jie takes his turn". Compassvale Primary School students and myself, waited eagerly along the Kay Siang Rd awaiting Wei Jie's arrival with the Olympic Torch in his hand. We all waited with placards to cheer him on.
Wei Jie claimed that he felt nervous looking at all the cameras snapping pictures of him. However,he did manage to serve a smile. He was also given the honour of lighting the cauldron alongside Syogoc's committee chief executive Goh Kee Nguan to end the relay's morning session. 'I never expected I would get to do that,' Wei Jie said afterwards. 'It was a surprise and definitely my favourite part of the day!' Our principal, Mr Chua Choon Guan said something similar, "He's a very independent boy, not afraid to stand up and voice his own opinions."Nevertheless, yesterday was no ordinary day for the Wei Jie who spent part of his morning in our class, 6-2 watching as everyone of us, armed with coloured markers, design handmade placards to celebrate his achievement.' We're all very proud of him,' said my classmate Chin Yee Hung, 12, as he pointed to the torch-carrying stick figure he had drawn on his blue signboard which had the words 'Wei Jie' and 'Hero' scribbled on it.
I was able to tell that everybody, including our teachers, was very proud of him and never felt so happy for him ever before.Wei Jie,a student,a classmate,of our school,made us proud,just by a simple action of being determined,courageous and passionate for the Youth Olympic Games make us proud.We owe all our thanks to him for what he has done.He is truly an inspiring person that everyone can look up to.

You are such an inspiring boy!

On the 11th of August, Low Wei Jie of Compassvale Primary School P6-02 (2010) became an inspiration to many people. He appeared on Channel News Asia, News 5 tonight, TODAY and The Straits Time. Everyone wanted to contact him and he became the surprise star. Although Wei Jie was soaked by the rain, he ran 15km over 2-1/2 hours to take pictures of torchbearers in the flame relay.
His flip-flops may have held up, but his feet hurt, and there were bloodied scratches on his right ankle. Then he discovered to great consternation that the camera he had borrowed from his parents was not waterproof and had jammed. However, he still continued his journey. When my principal told the school about his determination towards it, everyone was touched by the story and I frankly could not believe it at first. Although he was from the Speech and Drama Club, he is fully committed and had much courage, determination and passion for the YOG.
As a classmate, I am personally very proud of him and so is everyone else. The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee had even decided that he should be given the honour of being a torch bearer! My classmates and teachers will be attending the relay tomorrow to support Wei Jie. (;
He is definitely a fitting symbol of the passionate spirit of youth. This Saturday, I will be uploading pictures of him being the torch bearer and on Sunday, I will be uploading pictures of the Youth Olympic Games Opening Ceremony Rehearsal that my friends and teacher had gone to on last Saturday. I can only upload the pictures for the YOG Opening Ceremony Rehearsal after the actual one or else it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. (;
You wouldn't want to miss it! :D.
