Hello fellow facils,

As this camp requires only a few facils and DIS(Department of Industrial Service) do not want too many facils this time. We are sorry to say that we have reached the maximum amount of facils needed by DIS. However, we would love to have you in the future when we have more activities!

(COMMENT FROM ME: OMG. you need to CAPS the NOT word? Nice one. If you are sincere in apologising, please remove the NOT. the sorry is easily understood that I’m REJECTED.)

Somehow sad, with mixed feelings.
Excited to gather with my year 1 classmates (DBF/04), but not very excited to meet my new classmates. worried that the class might be separated somehow.

Had RWPS early in the morning. OMG. Got to crack my brains early in the morning?

After RWPS, we went to buy notes for FF and FA, then got (sarbo-ed) appointed by the class to collect the money and be the treasurer. LOL! indeed (sarbo right?) =X

Next up, FF, was quite a okay lecture.

Woah! FA lecturer was very strict, but she seems to be cool and can teach really well like what Mr Philip said.

Spent the break with 04 guys, and yeah. back for FF tutorial. Then elections begin. Who’s the class rep? No one? Appoint one! *all shouts* with flying arrows ——-> “hits me as the target”. LOL! Thats how a got a role from nobody to somebody. LOL! JOKING.

At 7pm, went to Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games HQ at 1, Kay Siang Rd for CEP Seminar Appreciation Dinner. The place wasn’t easy to find, but at least. I got there.

Went around and interacted with the YOG Staff, Volunteers, and also the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of YOG! Got a certificate for participating in the Culture & Education Programme (CEP) Seminar. See the post I made that time when the IOC President came.

That’s all! Till next time!

Caps on the number of athletes from each National Olympic Committee, and an emphasis on educational activities, have led to concerns that the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be more about fun than serious competition. — ST PHOTO: CAROLINE CHIA

CAPS on the number of athletes from each National Olympic Committee, and an emphasis on educational activities, have led to concerns that the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be more about fun than serious competition.

But International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge spoke out on the issue for the first time yesterday, defending the concept behind his brainchild.

‘This is not a mini-Olympic Games and this is not a Junior World Championship,’ the Belgian, who is in Singapore until tomorrow, told The Straits Times.

The Games are about a good combination of sport and education.

‘The youngsters are going to be able to have athletics at the highest level, and there will be time for fun and leisure, and there will be time for education.’

Culture and Education Programme activities, which have been planned for the 3,600 teenagers competing at the Aug 14-26 YOG, include workshops and forums on issues such as how to live a healthy lifestyle, and visits to venues like the Marina Barrage to learn about Singapore’s water conservation methods.

IOC president visits YOG venue and Games Village
By Patwant Singh | Posted: 23 March 2010 2159 hrs

SINGAPORE: International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge is confident Singapore will deliver a great Youth Olympic Games come August.

The IOC chief is in the island-state for a three-day visit to check on the Games progress, which he said has been immense.

The IOC chief has a packed schedule in Singapore.

After arriving on Monday, Mr Rogge visited the Bishan Stadium, venue for the Youth Olympic Games’ athletics programme.

The facility has undergone major renovations to be up to speed for the track and field events.

Next, the IOC president made his way to the Marina Barrage, one of the venues for the Culture and Education Programme.

Mr Rogge ended the day with a visit to the Games Village in the National Technological University (NTU), where renovation works are set to be completed by end-May.

He also had a dialogue session with some 150 tertiary students.

“I saw wonderful venues, I saw a fantastic Olympic Village here at University and I had a very nice question and answer and debate with youngsters with some very interesting questions,” said the IOC chief.

“I was here last in April 2008, so that is already two years ago, and the progress is immense, you will be ready by the Games time.”

In conjunction with the his visit to Singapore, the IOC on Tuesday launched the Young Ambassador Programme.

Under the programme, 30 young people have been nominated by their National Olympic Committees to promote the Games in their respective countries and also assist the athletes during the Games.

On Wednesday, Mr Rogge will call on Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and give the media an overview of his latest trip to Singapore.

Nexus One

Cool phone yeah? I seemed to be really mesmerized by this uber cool phone! Plus, its from Google, HTC, and the OS in it is powered by the latest version of Android!

The whole phone from the exterior design, its thin, sleek with cool curve edge that makes the whole phone really wow-ed itself. The Nexus One has a trackball just below those buttons that should feel very familiar to Hero users.

Wow! so its time for me to purchase one right? haha!

GoogleNexusOne Webpage!

Although it has many complains by users, which has been highlighted by people:

Google has come under fire since the launch of the Nexus One after hundreds of messages were posted with complaints or questions about the phone. Many customers said that after calling T-Mobile they were referred to HTC, the phone’s maker, or the reverse. Google does not have a customer-service phone line, and customers sending e-mails were being told to wait one or two days for a reply.

In response to queries from people having problems ordering, Google also posted a message saying that it has had a problem with orders from some countries. More than 450 messages in one topic describe how some customers have ordered the phone but even after days have not received a confirmation of their order. “Our system choked on a certain number of Singapore and Hong Kong addresses and they’ve been held until we could fix the issue. We’ve worked these kinks out and things should be smoother from now on,” wrote Google employee “Ry Guy” in response to those queries.

Google also acknowledged an issue that some people say they have with their phone maintaining a 3G connection. While T-Mobile has already said it is looking into the issue, Google late on Thursday posted to the forum that it is investigating the issue. “Also, just definitely be aware that if this issue can be solved by a software fix it will be addressed on an over-the-air systems update. If we find this is the result of a hardware issue, it’ll be covered by the Nexus One Warranty,” Google employee Ravi wrote.
