Preparedness for shuttle athletes around YOG


Some 700 vehicles will be used to shuttle athletes and officials around the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) venues. "Measures will include the management of the buses using the Global Positioning System and the management of the traffic on the roads with our Command Centre at the Intelligent Transport Systems Centre" said LTC Lau Hui Boon, chairman of Bus Operations, at YOG Organising Committee. The routes are closely monitored with contingency plans to fix potential traffic problems. Two transport malls have been set up for the event, one at the Youth Olympic Village at Nanyang Technological University and other at the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. They serve as pickup points from where game audiences will travel to the another venues. In addition, the bus shuttle services will provided from some of MRT stations for spectators to watching the games. They will departed from the Kallang, Admirality, Tampines and Bedok stations.

In my opinion, Singapore is ready to be a host for YOG because they have a good plan to manage if they got a problem. In the other hand, if local people are not cooperate with the organizers, this event will unsuccessful.

Singapore students clinch 18 medals at international olympiads

Singapore students gained a total of 18 medals at four International Olympiads for Science and Mathematics. First, Singapore team received one Gold and three Silver medals at the 21st International Biology Olympiad (IBO) held in Changwon, Korea. Singapore was placed in ninth in a field of 233 students from 58 countries. Second, at the 41st International Physics Olympiad (IPO). Singapore team received one Gold and four Silver medals. This time Singapore was placed in seventh in a field of 367 students from 82 countries. This year is an improvement over Singapore's eighth placing in 2009. Third, at the 42nd International Chemistry Olympiad. The Singapore team received two Gold and two Silver medals. Singapore was placed in fourth in a field of 267 students from 68 countries. Fourth, at the 51st International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Kazakhstan, the Singapore team received four Silver, one Bronze medal and one Honourable Mention. Singapore was placed 22nd in a field of 517 students from 96 countries.

In my opinion, nowadays a kids are clever. Some of them are genius. May be Singapore need to build an event to find a new team for compete in an international events and this will help students who wanted to try how best they are. .

YOG holidays for student in Singapore

Polytechnics have planned holidays for students during Youth Olympic Games. This holidays are useful for students who have been a volunteering at the game but polytechnics are not the ideal audience in this YOG because most of them are older than the competitors that is 14-18 years old. On the other hand, primary and secondary school students that have age between 6-16 especially those in school or national team who could qualified to compete in future games will not be able to watch the YOG events.
In my opinion, I think this is good for students who interested in this event. In the other hand, if a school gave holidays for students to attend the event, but I think not all of the students will attended to the event. I think some of them will sleep at home or go out with their friends which are not useful for their holidays.

Tattoo Colour is my favorite band for me. They are a group of people who love to play music together, and they enjoy when they perform, so all of their concert is always fun. Also, the meaning of their songs is very meaningful. They have many kinds of meaning. For example, Cinderella. This song has meaning about one night girl. She is so pretty, but she disappear when it is midnight, so this song has a fun beat. I loved when they preform at their or in a big concert. They have a lot of fan club. I am a little fan club of them =]]

"What are the reasons why sport teams wear uniform?" In every sports are need a comfortable and easy to move. Sport uniform is need a lot of ventilation because some of the players have a lot of sweat, so the uniform need a lot of ventilation and some times it's very slim.
