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.

Its Wei Jie's turn
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.

Congratulations once again Wei Jie!!!
You are such an inspiring boy!

Hello there! :D
We are left with 20 more days to the Youth Olympic Games!
I bet you can tell that I am really excited for it.
Anyway, you should check out this website! >>
On that website, you can see pictures of the city, MEDELLIN, which is in Colombia.
As you know, Colombia is our partnering country.
•The first picture there shows a place which is called Paisa Town. Paisa is a name given to those who live in this part of Colombia which is the department of Antioquia.
•The second picture is THE BOTERO SQUARE. Fernando Botero, the famous painter and sculptor, was born here and it is a way to thank him for his work and to rememeber his great masterpieces.
•The third picture is a place in the city that we call "The Desires Park".
•The fourth one is the EXplora Park.
•The fifth place is called the Explora Acquarium.
•The sixth is the orchideorama.
•The seventh picture is the Botanic Garden Lake.
•The eighth picture is a famous library given to the people living in that neighbourhood and to the city by the king and the Queen of Spain.
•Last but not least, the 9th picture shows the metro cable. Cabins of the metro way flys around the city, going up and down of our mountains and carrying people to their work, school or universities or just to go sightseeing.
I think that the website is really interesting because you can view the photos in 3-D.
You should totally check it out. :D

Here is the official music video for the
Youth Olympic Games' Theme song, 'Everyone'!
(You can also view the video through the 'ipod' on this blog.)
The music video for "Everyone" was shot entirely in Singapore.
The singers were filmed performing the inspiring tune against
iconic Singapore backdrop/landmarks like the city skyline,
Singapore Flyer, Marina Barrage, and Esplanade.
Intercut with montages of young athletes competing in various sports,
the music video captures the youths' unwavering pursuit of
excellence and the positivity they exude in chasing their dreams.
Through the snippets of these young sportsmen & women's unrehearsed
performances, we share their aspirations and celebrate the human spirit
with the youth of the world.
I LOVE the song, what about you? ;D

I am sure many of you have heard of the Singapore oil spill caused by a collision among a Malaysian tank and a cargo boat.On the news held on 28th May,Friday,(today),it tells us about how the oil spill had affected certain activities scheduled.My main point of telling you this is because the sail for those YOG sailers have been cancelled due to the above mentioned oil spill.Activities on the East Coast were also affected.Business are also affected...

There are also Inter-House games such as Hurdles (b/g) ,Netball (g) ,Soccer (b) and last but not least,Basketball (b) .

Goodness! What a big Sports Unit!
It must have needed a lot of effort to build this!
Wow! Look at the scenery! It's so beautiful!
How I wish I can have a view like that from my bedroom window!
Wow!Look at this cable car! You must have gotten a good view up there!
It looks similar to Singapore's cable cars too!
Doesn't it look magnificent? It must have attracted a lot of tourists!
Wow! The displays of flowers look so unique and colourful!Just right for a special occasion!

I took part in the hurdles race. Guess what? I won!!!
All it takes was Excellence,Friendship and Respect for others who lost.
Wait a minute...What a coincidence!
Those are the three main pointers for the YOG!
I hope you know them by now.
The sports carnival finale was a blast!
We had a cheering competition and Yellow house won.
Well,at least they showed the three important pointers after a game.
We all shook hands with one another.
The Red house felt better after the Yellow house showed Friendship and Respect.It is not about whether you win at the end or not.Its how you play the game...

Youth Olympic Games 2010 Torch
Behold! Here are some images showing the torches for the Youth Olympic Games! Aren't their designs wonderful?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a first look at the awesome possum Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Torch!
Here is a similar design for the Portable Cauldron which will be housing the Olympic Flame at each Celebration City for the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In August 2010, 2,400 Singaporeans will get the chance to be a part of the nation’s history as the Youth Olympic flame arrives in Singapore for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games journey of the Youth Olympic flame. As the Youth Olympic flame journeys around Singapore in a 6-day torch relay, Singaporeans will be participating as torch bearers or cheering on their fellow community torch bearers in the first-ever Olympic Games torch relay in Singapore, and our school is sending 2 representatives and they are Akmal Addin and Kai Lin!
Torch bearers are the ambassadors of the Olympic Flame – expressing the spirit of Olympism and inspiring others to embrace this ideal. A torch bearer for the flame must embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect.
Let's support the 2 representatives from our school!
:D

Hi everyone! I bet all of you must be admiring this sculpture, made by Fernando Botero! This sculpture is called "The Fat Pigeon".
Isn't it magnificant? Fernando Botero Angulo (April 19,1932) was born in Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia, South America, where the Catholic Church adopted the Baroque style. He is a Colombian figurative artist, self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, coming to prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958 and as you all know, Colombia is our partnering country. This sculpture is one of the few placed in Singapore but he has lots more of his sculptures all around the world.
Don't you agree with me that Fernando Botero Angulo is indeed a great artist? :D
~Siti Nur Sabrina
This picture has an overhead view of a part of Medellin.They have a BIG stadium and a track and field!There are only a handful of stadiums in Singapore.Wahh,what a luxury they have!
Here you can see the streets of Medellin.The statues look really interesting!It looks like it's abstract art though.The artist must have been really proud to have his artwork placed in the streets for people to admire!

As the Youth Olympic flame journeys around Singapore in a 6-day torch relay, Singaporeans will be participating as torch bearers or cheering on their fellow community torch bearers in the first-ever Olympic Games torch relay in Singapore, and our school is sending 2 representatives and they are Akmal Addin and Kai Lin!
Torch bearers are the ambassadors of the Olympic Flame – expressing the spirit of Olympism and inspiring others to embrace this ideal. A torch bearer for the flame must embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect.
Let's support the 2 representatives from our school!
:D

Hi everyone! I bet all of you must be admiring this sculpture, made by Fernando Botero! This sculpture is called "The Fat Pigeon".
Isn't it magnificant? Fernando Botero Angulo (April 19,1932) was born in Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia, South America, where the Catholic Church adopted the Baroque style. He is a Colombian figurative artist, self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, coming to prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958 and as you all know, Colombia is our partnering country. This sculpture is one of the few placed in Singapore but he has lots more of his sculptures all around the world.
Don't you agree with me that Fernando Botero Angulo is indeed a great artist? :D

This picture has an overhead view of a part of Medellin.They have a BIG stadium and a track and field!There are only a handful of stadiums in Singapore.Wahh,what a luxury they have!
This is an eagle's eye's view of what seems to be a sports complex.I can see that they have massive swimming pools!Hehheh,maybe they have a smaller pool for the younger children!
Here you can see the streets of Medellin.The statues look really interesting!It looks like it's abstract art though.The artist must have been really proud to have his artwork placed in the streets for people to admire!
WoaH!This is a panoramic view showing the centre of MEDELLIN!IT looks like they have some really tall high rise buildings!You can also see that there are some moutains around the Area!
This train looks very similar to the MRTs in Singapore!Looks like we share the same piece of technology!However look at the ceiling!It looks very different as our MRTs are underground!Would you like to see the structures in Medellin?I would definitely be glad to!

Lyo
Lyo , the "Lion of the Youth Olympics", is a lion cub with a mane as fiery as his passion for life. Full of youthful energy, Lyo is always on the go, exploring and discovering new things and playing sports.His favourite sport is basketball and he dreams of someday representing Singapore in international basketball tournaments.
Growing up in Singapore, the City-in-a-Garden, Lyo is no stranger to people. He enjoys making friends from all over the world and learning about their different cultures. He is fun-loving and wants to inspire youths to keep fit and enjoy sports.
Merly
Merly got her name from "mer" (meaning the sea) and "ly" for liveliness and youthfulness. She is a merlion cub who loves exploring the seas surrounding Singapore, and beyond. Although merlions are omnivorous by nature, Merly sticks to a vegetarian diet out of a deep respect for all living creatures.
Merly is friendly and a great listener – when she becomes your friend, she is your friend for life! Always ready to join a good cause, Merly is especially passionate about protecting our environment (sadly, many of her friends have become ill as their homes have been polluted) Merly believes that every one of us can help create a sustainable future and works hard to spread that message.
Her dream is to become an environmental scientist one day, so that she can find more ways to help people live in harmony with Nature.

The First Summer Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in 2010 will bring together talented athletes from across the world with the aim of having them take part in high-level competitions and indicating to them the path to take to become real Olympians. This will be a multi-sport, cultural and educational event, which will give a whole new dimension to the Olympic ideal, by complementing what has already been accomplished thanks to the Olympic Games and the IOC’s various projects to breathe life into the Olympic values.
Who? What? When?
The Youth Olympic Games aim to bring together talented athletes – aged from 14 to 18 - from around the world to participate in high-level competitions, but also, alongside the sports element of the event, to run educational programmes on the Olympic values, the benefits of sport for a healthy lifestyle, the social values sport can deliver and the dangers of doping and of training to excess and/or of inactivity.
The first ever Summer Youth Olympic Games will bring together approximately 3,200 athletes and 800 officials in 2010. The sports programme will encompass all 26 sports on the programme of the 2012 Summer Games, with a limited number of disciplines and events. The first Winter Olympic Youth Games will bring together around 1,000 athletes and 500 officials. The athletes will compete – for the first time in 2012 – in all seven Olympic Winter Sports. The YOG follow the traditional cycle of four years, with Summer Games in 2010, 2014, 2018, etc and Winter Games in 2012, 2016, 2020, etc.
Singapore will be hosting the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) from 14 to 26 August 2010. The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games will receive some 5,000 athletes and officials from the 205 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), along with estimated 800 media representatives, 20,000 local and international volunteers, and more than 500,000 spectators. Young athletes – aged between 14 and 18 years – will compete and take part in 26 sports events.
The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games aims to inspire youth around the world to embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect. It will create a lasting sports, culture and education legacy for Singapore and youths from around the world, as well as enhance and elevate the sporting culture locally and regionally.

So, everyone! Let’s get together and try to know Colombia better!
We can learn their langauge, which is Spanish and know more about them.
Also, maybe we can even learn how to cook their small pastries and try them out!
This will be a fantastic idea! :)
