SYOG torch rely (7 aug 10)

SYOG torch rely was spread 0ver a few days. After much consideration, we identified AMK as the most ideal spot to witness the reply. It was raining heavily that morning. We are all speculating if the event will be canceled. Nonetheless we still proceeded with it. As epected, there wasnt much crowd along the road. We waited and waited anxiously wonder if we had missed the rely.

Finally SYOG rely was here. We saw some police patrol cars followed by two huge YOG buses full of supporters on them.

The cheer team was cheering and screaming as the bus went pass. A young lady came down from the bus and started to mingle with the crowd infront of us. Followed by a few others dropping off from the bus, passing some YOG cheer balloons and noise maker to us. It all happened so fast as we are busy snapping photo and watching over the kids as we are standing along the roadside.

The kids sure had fun making so much noise cheering and jumping around.

After which, there was a complete "silent" for a few mins and we thought to ourselves was that all the torch rely was about ?

Finally the real action is here. Apparently the mini van of journalists and the torch holder were lagging very much behind. Good for us, we actually witnessed the change of torch between the holders right in front of us but partially blocked by the crowd. The young girl in red who had been "left behind" by the bus was actually one of the torch beholder. Should have insist on taking a photo with her.



Overall, if it's not for the kids, I will not be there :)
