Last Saturday, I was invited to an event happening at Clark Quey!
Samsung being one of the main sponsers
for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympics,
came up with this brilliant idea of the Samsung Human Torch!
I think it's MAD awesome that
Singapore got to host the first ever Youth Olympics
I feel that the youth in Singapore are not really into sports
because since young we're not really exposed to such events.
Like, myself for an example, i'm ashamed to say i don't even know any
famous/popular sports person who originated from Singapore.
i've never even met any singaporeans
who wants to play sports professionally.
I really hope with Youth Olympics,
it'll be able to inspire & bring about a change
for the younger generation in Singapore!
Got our goodie bag from Samsung
and met up with all 9 other bloggers @ Brewerks.
The people from Samsung was giving us the run-down
of the Samsung Human Torch event
while we had some drinks and finger food.
Srsly singapore should not bother with outdoor seatings etc,
perspiring like MAD after walking from Merchant Court hotel
to Brewerks, which is probably a mere 500 metres away max?
The event is FINALLY starrrrting, how exciting. :D
We were at the VIP area when the mascots for YOG came by
and of cos i had to ask for a picture!
Lol, is it weird that i like those plushy webbed feets?
The event started with a BIG BANG with a performance by Bloco Singapura
it's hard not to get excited with the fire breathing performer/samba dancer!
WOOOOOT! We were just below the stage so
when he was doing that it felt pretty damn hot! hahaha
Shan Wee & Desiree was the emcee for the event!
So what's the whole point of the event?
What in the blue world is the Samsung Human Torch?
On Saturday, the Youth Olympic torch was finally lit in Greece..
.. thus to commemorate the event,
Samsung gathered 2010 students from a number of schools in singapore,
to light up their torches together at 20.10 pm
to form a GIANT HUMAN TORCH.
Curious see how does that look like? :P
Woot. No way i'm going up there.
It's about 5-7 storey's high and there's no railing, madness!
Lol, luckily we had cloudie who took the awesome pictures !
I'd like to present you, our GIANT HUMAN TORCH!!!
Well we counted down to 20.10pm and our HUMAN TORCH LIT UP!!
I mean.. this is amazingly beautiful in like an ancient way..
it just feels so magical, like we just went back in time.
... But look at this!
It's so crazy modern awesome, it represents modern singapore so well!
2010 students to form this Giant Human Torch, like srsly.. WOW!
there were some explosive pyrotechnics like right in front of us,
it was so loud! scared me half to death!!!
After the human torch was lit,
Singapore's idol Sezairi Sezali had a short performance.
It's so funny when he asked the 2010 students to come forward
cos he's not used to his audience being so far away from the stage
and they RAN like nobody's buisness towards him. :x
It's such a funny sight! See see seeee!
LOL.
....and then there was this totally awesome dance performance
i want those confetti blowing like that during my wedding,
lol don't you think i makes everything look so happy and festive-y!
Woot. Found this in my goodie bag.
i AM part of Samsung Human Torch! (:
Thanks Samsung for creating such a wonderful evening for all of us!
