Thanks to my neighbour BK for the tickets to the 1st YOG Opening Ceremony Combined Rehearsal 4. Dear hubby wasn't interested & gege wanted to bring his gf, she gave us 6 tickets.
We had our dinner at Kopitiam & took the train to City Hall. Crowds were also going to the Padang. We walked to the Float @ Marina Bay. After security check, we got a poncho. Bottled water was expensive @ $2.50.
Spectators were mostly youth. Many students stand-in for the athletes. Screening of the 2 mascots (Lyo & Merly) was brief, followed by performances & march-in of participating countries. Good laugh when we heard just `start of speech' from the 2 stand-in organisers.
Jiejie was excitedly looking out for her friends holding placards, flags & singing in the choir. We enjoyed lots of colourful fireworks, some were for the NDP Preview on the same night.
