I was very touched to be invited on this special occasion. The invitation filled in parts of my maternal family history and family tree that I had previously not discovered.

I now know that my family has been in Singapore for more than a century over at least 4 generations.

Soft launch of our brand new sports complex and community facilities tomorrow for residents living in the Cashew, Zhenghua and Bukit Timah divisions.

The location and special design originated from my first block visit in the area in 2006, when grassroots leaders suggested that having sports facilities built into the slope adjacent to Pang Sua pond (opposite Bukit Panjang plaza) would be unique and convenient for residents in all 3 divisions.

I’m glad to see all the cubs again, fully healed and rested. Now FAS has to work on building the future of football in Singapore.

Brought back many memories.

Managed to get some certificates signed after more than 30 years of procrastination !

Will pass them to my patrol mates in 2201 Troop.

The sun finally sets on the final day of existence of the Singapore Youth Olympic Village. Volunteers and staff still hard at work helping the remaining athletes catch their flights tonight and tomorrow.

We have truly been blessed to have such outstanding people working on this project. Diligent, meticulous and cheerful all the way! I have learnt that Singaporeans (and friends of Singapore) are truly capable of great things. I am more confident and optimistic about our future than I have ever been. Thank you all for the experience of a lifetime.!

Thank you to all the fans who continued to believe and supported them through thick and thin.

Isabelle has had a wonderful run in the YOG table tennis competition. Faced China in the final. Went down 4–0 but fought bravely, never giving up even on the last point. Great spirit!

Tickets available at the venue.

It just wasn’t our night. Our boys couldn’t get into their usual rhythm. In the first half, and conceded a goal. They came out fighting in the second half, and had several chances, but no luck.

When we conceded a penalty and were reduced to 10 men, it was over. I told the cubs we were all proud of them, and will stand by them. Next match on Wednesday 25 August 2010.

Another great performance from our Cubs ! And full house at Jalan Besar too.
