Youth Olympics?

Many critics are blasting the Youth Olympics for being a louzy copy of the Olympic Games, and I partially agree. Where are the soccer teams from Europe? Not even Malaysia sent a team.
Though to give Singapore credit, this is the first YOG, and perhaps the idea hasn't really taken off yet.

Yesterday was Zimbabwe vs Singapore in the group stage.
After the Straits Times wrote an article on Zimbabwe's confident prediction 5-0 to them, it was quite apparent that the Straits Times MAY have gotten what they REALLY WANTED. Riled Singaporeans. At JB stadium, much of the school, despite being told to also support Zimbabwe, was clearly one sided (for Singapore) to me.

I appreciate that they have passion for Singapore though, and was quite happy to see I was clearly wrong in my earlier post 'National Sigh' ... to some extent. (Hey have to give myself credit OK!?)

You know? I liken the first half of the game to Shaolin Soccer. If you watched, remember the first game the Shaolin team played? Opponents jeering (5-0 confidence), then THEY kick-off (or was it us?), intercepted, pass pass & GOALLLL and spirited team embrace and goal celebration (ours), plus the opponent's goalkeeper didn't notice (Zimbabwe goalee stun).

Though we were supposed to cheer for our partner country (Zimbabwe), it was clear how biased we were lol. That sounds too negative, I'm saying its quite ironic we were meant to help Zimbabwe (who did not have many fans), in the end we made it worse by supporting Singapore lol.

Today's ST article on the event was also quite, I would say, 'edited'. See we actually went there to cheer for Zimbabwe and Singapore, and on a side note watch our VS player Jefferey Litefoot. However, the news seems to think we did it there to support Singapore ONLY because of our VS player! HMMMM, the editor wanted to get Singaporeans to rally and see that VS is patriotic, hence it is biased and I cannot trust this author!!! L5/7 !!!! YES YES YES... Err nvm

Jazz has a kind of swing to it that soothens my senses. Though this also has a bit of rock.
One of the best Outros (Opposite of intro) I've ever heard
