♥ YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES :DD Torch Relay !
Thursday, August 19, 2010 -{'8:40 AM
After the Torch Relay on Wednesday, although initially, I feel it as a waste of time, but now after learning more bout the youth olympics games, I felt that despite the heat and the long wait
, we should be proud of standing there as Singapore managed to get nominated for hosting the YoG and not only should we feel proud and patriotic for our own nation, we should be honored that we can see Singaporeans wearing the YoG shirts and carrying the YoG lamp towards the clock tower. ( We were stationed alongside the road before the clock tower)
Think about it, would we be able to see even such people coming here with everyone wearing the yog shirt? Would we be able to gather as a school together to watch such an event? -even if it's boring:D-
We must understand that this is our country, our nation and we should feel that everything we do for Singapore was worth the time. Because S'pore is our homeland after all.
Therefore, we must understand that the youth olympic games is an important aspect.. essential for Singapore to shine as a little red dot Hardly do we get such a chance to show our capability to the world so gear up, be ready, and stand up for Singapore.

♥ Chinese Learning (:
-{'7:48 AM
The Chinese language is illusive to English speaking world, almost seems to be a complex mystery intimidating to unravel and to understand.
If you wish to learn Chinese, then use it as a bridge to not only communication with this beautiful culture, but learn Chinese to harvest the history and ways of their world as well.
But why learn Chinese? could be the question that you are wondering :]
Simple.
Because today’s world almost insists on it.
With our increasing love for the Chinese culture, like the martial arts, or media (Who can forget Jacki Chan), or even Chinese food…we are quickly merging cultures together today then we ever did in past. Great inspirations have come out of the eastern ways of life, and in a hungry way to consume them, and learn all about them, the need to learn Chinese has surfaced. In the western world, the fast paced, time pressed crunches have taken their toll, and now we actively speak of not our mother language, but more of other languages like English. To learn Chinese…whether it be the arts, the words, the ways, just remember, by doing so, we are merging another culture’s layers and sewn them in as our own. The influence of the Chinese culture is undeniable and we should learn to embrace it and cherish this beautiful culture and language (:
And perhaps, you will want to learn Chinese for future purposes - for an upcoming trip to China, or a hobby, or maybe just for simple understanding of a new friend, whatever the reason behind the spark.
Learn Chinese to have an experience culturally. Learn Chinese for application in your job. Learn Chinese for knowledge, for wisdom and balance in your life. Learn Chinese to step into the future now. Learn Chinese for your upcoming vacation to china. But mostly, learn Chinese for yourself. Because it is something you always wanted to do. The impact of eastern culture is growing everyday, and will continue as our ways and cultures merge.
So remember guys, Chinese could be easy to learn - if only and only if you understand the reasons and impacts behind.. LeArNing ChInEse.
