Holy crap i forgot when was the time this actually happened..I remember the events but exactly when i forgot...
Seemed so long ago...so distant...
A lot of things happened...I'll share them later.
So yeah if I'm not wrong, the other volunteers and I did the shift for the finals match of the YOG volleyball tournament. Very fortunate to see national players up close and they are like spiking balls so close to you. If you got hit then you're unlucky or just don't know how to dodge. :)
Well the most memorable thing that happened was when I was the quick mopper cum mopper for the Argentina game.
(quick mopper needs to rush out and mop with cloths. moppers use huge mops.)
Yeah and there i was sitting and waiting for "handsome" sweaty pieces of meat to slide on the floor as that'd be my cue. The idiotic thing was that when there was a time out, those Argentinian players used the cloths for mopping floors and soaking up sweat to clean their own sweat.
Like wadthehell...o.o
How smart of them to use cloths with their sweat, their opponent's sweat and the dirt and dust on the floor to clean their own faces!
By now they should be crying as all their girlfriends ran away because they're all suffering from pimple outbreaks worser than Timothy's(no offense timmy! :D).
But Timothy's face seems nicer now. O.o Lesser pimples? I think...
Then blah blah blah I forgot who won and what happened next.
All i remembered was that on my way home with Yong Kang and Hui wen there was this Romanian ang moh that came up to us to ask us how to get to the stadium, which was the one that i had departed from.
And so I offered to bring him there since I was not rushing for time and Yong Kang and Hui Wen left first.
Found out he was a volunteer too and he's a translator for the games!
SO COOOOL! :D
Then we talked about random stuff, about Singapore and Romania and their differences...
After we arrived at our destination, he thanked me and shook my hand. Firm handshake... xD
But I forgot to ask his name... :O next time go Romania find him and stay there for holiday or something...
-DISCLAIMER: The recount above was to suan and mae zowie jealous.-
And that concludes the last day of the Youth Olympic Games... Rather sad when i saw the closing ceremony...
The people of my class were like crazy over this event and chionged to buy all the merchandise and stuff...
Since it was expensive then I did not really buy any. Now that the craze is over the prices should drop and maybe I'll buy it.... Who knows? :)
For the hard work of training and doing hard manual labour, the volunteers got a mug, a certificate, 2 YOG tees for volunteers a pair of jeans that can be shortened and free Universal Studios entry plus $10 discount coupon...AWESOME. :D
But I didn't go for it...T.T
*regret*
Plus my cert have signature from player No.1 of cuba!!! xD
It's in the display cabinet of my house so next time whoever comes can see... :D
