oh wait, its an sg expressway.. :think:
 

I learnt a very valuable lesson from my friend. When I first got my license and drove him around in Langkawi, I couldn't control the car well due to the lack of power steering in the rented car. Then he asked me "What is speeding?". Before I had a chance to reply, he said "As long as you are driving at a speed in which you can't properly control the car, then you are speeding."

To me it doesn't matter what is the max/min speed limit. If the situation warrants it (eg. very low visibility due to weather), slow down.
 

feels that YOG is more for students and schools.

those aunties in wet markets, busy office workers are likely not to feel that much about the event.

if u asked me am i interested ? i would say... maybe i just contribute by reading the match results from newspapers bah.

Like someone mentioned.. if you want the whole of Singapore to get involved and excited over it.. ask Singapore Pools to work on it.. maybe they'll be able to come up with something that will mobilize the whole nation to chase after every match.. :devil:

Overhyped event IMO - local papers churning out pages and pages of YOG news daily while international newspaper(i subscribe to the International Herald Tribune too) have nothing apart from occasional article or two :bsmilie:

There's this quote in the article from one of the volunteers, might open up a can of worms if its real.

"I am from Temasek Poly and I am forced to take part in YOG. It is made so compulsory that in the event that i do not take part, I will not get a testimony at the end of my graduation. That is the most irritating thing right now.”

I'm not sure if that's true, seems a bit exaggerated, but if it is, then :thumbsd:

About the food, I was a volunteer (actually just pg for my school cuz it was held there but we still can kope the stuff lah) at Youth Sports Conference and the food wasn't that bad. It was ok, like rice (some uncooked but you can expect that because of the sheer volume of food they have to cater), the same looking fish that's horrible cuz it's not hot, some chicken with dried up sauce and something else which I can't remember. It's all very dry but at least they've got fridges full of drinks for you to take (of course you gotta be fast, but that's another story - there's enough for everyone if not for the kiasu attitude of some people)

Well, thats on the part of the school. But its no small issue nonetheless.

There are already rumblings of "forced participations" (through various means) from other schools/organisations, its just that the level of support is not as rosy as what the organising committees wants the public to believe.
