DesmondChan Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Finally Singapore is geared up with Olympic atmosphere! Yesterday night I had gone to Downtown to take some pictures. Woohoo! Can't believe that the city I'm living now is hosting Youth Olympic Games soon!

cormiermax Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Doesn't look like a great Olympic atmosphere to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmondChan Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 YOG banners start appearing island-wide. Photo taken in Merlion Park. Backdrop is the famous scene of Singapore City Skyline -> Fullerton Hotel (previously was the Gabernor House during British Colonial Age). YOG Cycling banner. One Fullerton Park, just side-by-side with Merlion Park, the smallest park in Singapore. Singapore iconic landmark -> MERLION!!!!! 24 hours guarding and bringing fortune to Singapore.

DesmondChan Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Merlion Park. Not far away is the Marina Bay Floating Platform, 5 minutes walk distance. Marina Bay Floating Platform from far. Check out the light-house-shaped cauldron, which is located at the right hand side of the photo. YOG Opening Ceremony in Rehearsal. I just saw one big group of primary school students were performing there. Honestly, I hope the show not just in such way... Worry worry... Hope it will not be just another National-Day-Parade-styled performance... The lyrics of the song played for that performance is just too "Church-Styled" (Sorry, not offend, but that's my first feeling...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmondChan Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Floating Platform. Preparation is still underway... The "back-side" of the Floating Platform. Youth Olympic Park, which just located beside The Floating Platform. Very small indeed, but that's okay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmondChan Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Signboards in YOG Park. Inside The Floating Platform. Still messy... Close look to The Floating Platform. The 2 tall poles for Singapore national flag and Olympic flag. Possible place (still in YOG Park) where the YOG athletes will be lined up here for the section of The Parade of Nations during Opening Ceremony. The performers just finished the Rehearsal, and leaving from the stadium. Out of scope -> McDonald's new advertisement with Singapore 2010 Logo.
