All the games were held in Singapore Sport School, Woodlands. We were lucky to use their facilities as where the recent Youth Olympic is taken place.
On the first day, we walked around Orchard Road. The place is full of shopping complexes. This is Singaporean's favourite hang out place.
The FOS's opening ceremony was started at 7pm. There were a few contingents such as YMCA Penang, YMCA Kota Kinabalu, YMCA Taipei, YMCA Metropolitan, YMCA Singapore, YMCA Manila and YMCA KL.
Our team, YMCAKL consisted of 17 participants and we have an Iranian guy in our team. Haha.. Where should I begin to mix around? Of course, the first move is to understand my team mates. Haha..
After the dinner, we had a tour visit around Marina Bay Sand. The structural of building is unique whereby there is a sub-marine on top of the building. This sub-marine is a swimming pool and it is the highest swimming pool in the world. It has 2650 rooms. Wow... The room rate range from $400 to $ in Thousand.. Another wow.. Haha.. This Marina Bay Sand is owned by the boss of Las Vegas Casino.
The next visiting place is Melayan. The statue has a lion head and fish body. Singapore is named as White Lion (Singa in Malay). Formerly, Singapore is known as Temasik-Island surrounded with fish.
On the next day, the competitions started at 9am. Table Tennis has been scheduled to 1pm. I went to watch Badminton and give my moral support to them. We lost to Penang Team in Final.
Table Tennis Hall is more spacious compared to our Bukit Jalil Sport School. There are thirty tables and they are using Donic.
We emerged as Champion for table tennis. Honestly, not to be boost, they are not my real competitor but I enjoyed playing with them. After all, this is a friendly match. ^^
Over a dinner, Singaporean girl and I became a buddy. She is friendly and nice. She was supposed to go home after the dinner but accompany me to go shopping at Causeway. Actually, we walked and talked all the time. To my surprised, she also knows table tennis. It is too bad that I didn't have a chance to play a game with her.
Back to domitry, I went to know my room mates. Actually it was not easy to know a person who is deaf . Pen and paper are the only way to communicate with her. I also learned a few of Sign Language.
On the last day, we have a prize giving ceremony. The result of overall games is YMCAKL, the Champion. Hurray.. ^^
It's time to say "Goodbye" to each other. We will see each other in Penang in another two years time.
