Hey guys. We went to the YOG learning centre located at Kay siang road today!I only have one word to describe everything, AWESOME!
We had a Powerpoint talk about what YOG is all about and how Singapore prepares for it.After the presentation, they invited 2 Olympian in, where they were interviewed.
One of the olympian was Ms Jing Jun Hong. You may not know her but she has won quite a number of medals for Singapore.These are her achievements.
- Team comprised of Jing Junhong, Li Jiawei, Tan Paey Fern and Zhang Xueling.The victorious Women's National Table Tennis Team to the 2002 Commonwealth Games did the great honour of ending Singapore's 40-year wait for a gold medal.
- Three-time Sportswoman of the Year, has included in her many accolades, a place at the 2001 Sydney Olympics semi-finals.
- Partnered Li Jia Wei to win the Women's Doubles title at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Mr Chua Koon Siong was one of our interviewee as well.
He's a weightlifter and has won numerous number of medals for Singapore too.
These are his achievements.
- His steadfast resolve and determination had won for him the Sportsman of the Year award thrice, in 1977, 1979 and 1980.
Did not manage to grab hold of any pictures. We didn't have enough time to walk around and have a good look. Everything was so rushy. But it's okay because there are some good pictures on the net!
Here are some pictures and hopefully, if you are interested, you can head down there and have a good look. It's worth the trip.
I enjoyed the trip and I'm glad i've learn more about the YOG that is going to be held in Singapore this year. This is definitely a must go place and i wouldn't mind if i were to go there again.
