i knew it, i knew it. singapore won the bid to host the youth olympic games in 2010. as posted in my previous entry, maybe it's precisely because some of the members of the voting committee read that entry and took the high number of videos uploaded onto youtube as part of the selection criteria. FAT HOPE, DARREN. what was i thinking.

it's big news definitely, especially for such a small south-east asian nation. it's definitely a first, probably a watershed in the history of singapore and for the region. getting all excited and hyped up after thew news is undoubtable but let's face it. can this hooha last till 2010. i'm starting to wonder whether this becomes one of those familiar national day gimmicks where the excitement, at least what's left of it today, builds up and explodes all away into the air together with the finishing fireworks down at esplanade. so, question is, what next?
