After back late last nite attending rituals & burning a paper house at late-SIL wake, we left home early this morning for her funeral & cremation.
Came home, quickly changed to Committee tee & met 2 members at roundabout to proceed in celebrating Journey of the YOG Flame through Yew Tee. At 627, we were handed a YOG badge & a pair of clappers. A light drizzle started when we were blowing the clappers. Luckily it stopped shortly.
Groups of De LaSalle & PCF students were there too. We walked across to Regent Grove. At the overhead bridge, there was a crowd waiting & many were setting-up their camera on tripod to snap the memorable event.
By then, the sun was out. We were waiting & waiting under the scorching heat. The YOG Coca Cola & Samsung buses arrived 1st with blasting loud music. A brief wait later, more traffic & media vehicles came along.
Finally a runner came in. All of us started clapping excitedly when we spotted at some distance behind, the YEC Chairlady holding the torch with Advisor & few CCC members running with her. She then passed the torch to the next runner & both performed a merry dance, missed that shot as my Nikon digital takes some time to store image.
It was indeed a memorable moment. I am not into games but was influenced by the mood of those excited about the YOG. Thereafter I went Fairprice at Yew Pee Point to buy grocery for preparing dinner.
Feeling extremely exhausted when I was reached home. Fortunately, a member was keen to attend the Dialogue Session, hence I was able to rest early at night.
