Youth Olympics!

Look, I'm normally not super patriotic - in fact I can't even remember the last time I watched and gave a hoot about the National Day Parade. But when I watched Channel NewsAsia this morning which had special coverage on the bid of the Youth Olympics, I felt very caught up in it all and had a super keen interest to find out if Singapore would win the bid to host!

So when I came home at about 7plus, the first thing I did was to turn on CNA to find out the results and I saw the Prime Minister's speech and I am almost embarrassed to admit I kinda felt like bursting with pride! Perhaps one would not feel as patriotic if they have not seen or are living in another country. Most Singaporeans are patriotic - perhaps they don't realise it nor show it enough and granted, NDPs are mostly cheesy along with those songs. At the end of the CNA broadcast of PM Lee's speech, I felt like clapping at my TV - yes I am that weird sometimes. Then they decided to let Hady sing 'Stand Up for Singapore' and then CNA wisely cut away to the anchor at the studio heh heh. I guess they did not want to show that to foreign viewers!

Another piece of sensational news today is that Edison Chan is quitting showbiz. Frankly I don't understand the major fuss that everyone has given to this whole nude photo saga so....

YAY TO SINGAPORE HOSTING THE YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES IN 2010! :D
