Registration Begins for YOG

On the day of Registration, we were given Passport booklets to complete a cycle of booths before we eventually end the whole affair.

Basically, started by registering and giving our email and contacts to the organisers. Training will start in SEP09 but before that, they will then set up criterias, matching of profiles and etc so that each individual volunteer will be matched accordingly and with the best skill sets available during the Youth Olympic Games which will be held next year.

My friend and i was really excited to be part of their events here and hopefully, we can each find ourselves a department where our skills are met during the YOG 2010. As this is only a awareness programme + registration hence, there are no matching of skill sets yet during today's event, just play and have fun, i think its the motto of today's event held at the Expo.

Remember the passport i was telling you guys earlier on, you can see it from the first picture which i attached below with my photo too. These are all sponsored by YOG and what is really neat about it is that you get to have two photos, one to be pasted on the Pillar of Volunteers and the other one you get to keep it as a souvenir. My slogan which i chose is "Lets Do it", we were kidding amongst ourselves its like a Nike commercial, but its in the name of FUN....

During the whole afternoon event, everyone is given a pack of snacks plus drinks to quench your hunger and thirst while you complete your passport given to you upon registration. We waited quite a while for our photos to be developed and pasted onto the pillars here.

While completing the passport, we met up with the purple coloured T-shirt management staffs which were very friendly and cooperative as well. As one of the passport requirements were to get them to autograph on your passport and hence complete the whole cycle indicated in the passport.

There were games, stage shows and plenty more to entertain everyone there and lastly, goodie bags were given to participants as well, but me and my friend did not wait for our turn to get the goodie bag, as there were already a snake or queue just waiting to get the goodie bag.....:)

We left the event quite satisfied and glad that we can participate in this national event and hopefully, we can serve further as a volunteer in our respective capacity during the Youth Olympic Games 2010 to be held here in Singapore.

Till then....YOG....:)

PS - can't wait for the training and fun to begin...................
