The organizer must have enough "guts" to showcase the football tournament with "not so famous" countries, but indeed this is a good try. At least give the chance to those small countries to play in such important event.

Do you think that SISTIC will be the official ticketing agent in Singapore? -
Ceremonies at Floating Stadium
DesmondChan replied to Mau2010's topic in Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games
Hi guys, as I'm working in SIngapore, probably I can "bring" you to see what you want to see about this Floating Platform (Or other venues). Name it! I try my best (One of the Singaporean favourite statement in working life). -
Just came back from Orchard Road a while ago. Today (17 March 2010) is exactly 150 days away from Singapore 2010 YOG Opening Ceremony. Here are some photos to share. Night scene in Orchard Road, once the 8th most expensive street in the world. Christmas Time is very crowded. Pedestrian Path in Orchard Road, in front of ION Orchard. 9 minutes and 9 seconds to go... 7 minutes and 7 seconds to go... 1 minutes and 55 seconds.... AND.... Exactly 150 days to go for Singapore 2010 YOG! Woohoo!!!!!

Singapore 2010 YOG Torch unveiled
DesmondChan replied to DesmondChan's topic in Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games
Yes, they will recycle the torch for YOG Gymnastic event... -
Singapore 2010 YOG Torch had been unveiled yesterday (12 March 2010), here is article about the S2010 Torch from Singapore 2010 Website. The Torch Design Inspiration The Youth Olympic Flame (JYOF) torch takes its design inspiration from fire and water. Fire represents the Youth's passion and burning desire to learn and excel, blazing the trail in life. Water represents Singapore, with its origins as a seaport; and the vibrant and dynamic nature of Singapore as an island city-state. The torch was designed to combine the dual elements of fire and water, with the water wave on the torch body and a flaming fire on top. Technical Specifications The Torch is made of aluminum, with the handle coated with non-slip material. Width: 5 to 8 cm Height: 60cm Weight: Approximately 1 kg The Community Couldron The Community Cauldron is a small cauldron designed and produced to hold the Youth Olympic Flame. The use of the Community Cauldron allows the Flame to be displayed at the Community Celebration sites in Singapore and each of the five other cities that the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame will pass through. Technical Specifications: Diameter (of bowl): 1.1m Height: 1.1m Weight: Approximately 135 kg Safety Lantern Safety lanterns are used to transport the Youth Olympic Flame when not carried by a torchbearer. At the start of each relay day, the Youth Olympic Flame is taken from the safety lantern to light the torch. At the end of the day, the Flame from the torch is transferred to the safety lantern for safeguarding. A number of safety lanterns are kept alight with the Youth Olympic Flame in case the Flame carried by the torch or other device go out unexpectedly (e.g. from high winds). In addition, the safety lanterns continue to hold the Flame during the duration of the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (Singapore 2010). Technical Specifications: Dimensions: 21.4cm x 18.3cm x 3.22cm Weight: Approximately 2.88kg

Many, many thanks to GB members
DesmondChan replied to Olympic Hockey Fan's topic in Vancouver 2010 Winter Games
Yo, Mr. X, I hope you are not leaving us too soon. We still don't know how old are you (N years ago, we had 1 post regarding your age, and you claimed that you just 10 years old. ) It's hard to kick the habit to visit GamesBids.com. I was once out of GamesBids.com after Beijing 2008, but I did come back. We love your post, your humour and your critics. Hehe. Do you know you that your name are "so famous" in Singapore and Malaysia? At least me and Commentator always talking about your posts. Singapore/Malaysia way to keep people: Stay "lah", don't go "lah". -
The atmosphere in Vancouver...PICTURES!
DesmondChan replied to mr.x's topic in Vancouver 2010 Winter Games
Mr. X, nice picture coverage outside the competition. Keep it on! 1 more week to go, and I know you will be getting more emotional when the last day of Vancouver 2010 is approaching. However, enjoy every moment of the Games! -

DesmondChan replied to Citius Altius Fortius's topic in Vancouver 2010 Winter Games
Yupe! Google in Malaysia and Singapore also having the same banner... -
Good luck Vancouver! 7 years ago I was in my friend's house to witness Vancouver won the bid. Also from that moment, I knew about GamesBids.com. It's time for Canadian to shine! Check out my Join Date on the left hand side, this is the prove that I joined GamesBid.com at the same day Vancouver won the bid. 2 July 2003

Does The Yog 'lessen' The Olympics?
DesmondChan replied to OlympicFan2010's topic in Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games
Hi All, In fact I agreed with you. Even in Singapore, the atmosphere is not so great.... yet(now already less than 200 days to YOG). The public here now is discussing whether they can watch FIFA World Cup in Singapore or not (FIFA is charging very high brocasting cost to Singapore, 40 millions US dollar), rather than about YOG. The activitities conducted by SYOGOC for past few months were quite in small scale (except 1 Year CountDown party, and the launching of the emblem). It does not mean we want to see a very grand event, but at least open and accessible to public. Taking the recent announcement of torch Relay Route as an example, SYOCOG rather do it in a small conference room, than going out to any community place to make the announcement. Believe me, in Singapore, any community hub can have easily at least thousand of peoples pass by. This is the great chance for the public to know about YOG! Blue blue blue.... However, you will never know any legacy will be left after the YOG being held in Singapore, until the days come. At least I still positive with SYOCOG. -
