Hello again readers, today I will be talking about the Youth Olympic Game (YOG) torch that ran though my school in it's journey!!
To refresh your memory, I am currently studying in the prestigious secondary school Hwa Chong Institution located in Bukit Timah Road, Singapore. Enough details, let's focus on the main topic.
This incident happened on 11th of August 2010, students from every level was supposed to cheer for the runners. School has delayed for 1 hour and everyone was required to wear their PE shirts. The secondary two's were stationed near the gate, lucky them...
...Unfortunately, I was assigned to perform public duty on that day. Since I am a member of the St. John CCA, I volunteered to help and stationed with a team somewhere and help if there is an injury. We were stationed near another gate, and waited patiently for the torch to arrive...
however, luck was not on my side as the runner did not even ran past my team, everyone was cheering them and following them while we just stood there. The leader was shocked and quickly repositioned elsewhere.In the end we managed to get a close glimpse of the runners, holding the YOG torch which is smaller sized compared to my imagination.
I hope that everyone appreciated the irony and humor of that story. I will be posting more stuff next time so remember to tune in to see!! BYE!!
