Saw a poster at our RC's board downstairs and kindof know when they are coming by our pl but dunno exact spot so daddy went to check website and we wonder if ever can catch it as weather hasn't been gd (tho wanted to catch at po2's pl when Ian stayed over but was pouring) and on Fri, it was super HOT weather and still thinking if we shld go coz Ian woke up early and dunno when its coming coz usually the run comes quite late....so we just went and was checking out TB mkt as alot of aunties were crowding there and here we are taking pics with the YOG flags (with the number of flags there daddy guessed the torch relay shld come by here!)
And we found a spot where Ian could sit and chill out while waiting for the torch 'FIRE' hheee and brought along a pack of ribena else how to entertain the boy who keeps asking WHEN?? We never quite took pics of TB mkt tho we been here for some yrs.....and here we got a chance and there was lion dance waiting to welcome the torch relay....it was really loud but it was getting all of us into atmosphere....hhmm feels abit like CNY tho hhehee
mama then decided we shld move away from the crowd so we could catch a glimpse else the crowd shld block Ian so we walked down a little more and still there were seats in shade for the boy to enjoy his drink and wait.....for almost 30mins then we saw police cars and bikes....then finally the cheering buses came along which thrilled Ian more than the torch relays coz the youngsters were waving to him coz there were v few pple ard where we were so Ian enjoyed the 'attention' given with loads of pple waving to him!!!
And then we saw the relay run pass FINALLY!!! And we saw an 'auntie' waiting at her designated lamp post to do that run it was quite a short distance they were all running and it was more of the glam and fun than tiring but alot of fanfare coz the media vehicle had to be in front to take all pics so we were glad to be able to catch shots since we had the whole street to move along
Ian was most delighted to see so many policemen and he even had 1 policeman making funny face at him while he was driving past us and when mama told to wave to him and Ian did and the policeman also waved back....guess this is the 1st time we came up so close to policemen driving past us at such SLOW speed
As if we din have enough of waiting then Ian asked for more actions so we ran down the TB road to catch them opp TB plaza as they were making their route to Sentosa....this boy was quite gd in running with mama and we managed to catch all the actions at the junction again and this time we caught it at the side view and it was gd fun having the torch relay at our estate and guess this is once in a lifetime chance and glad we did it! Tho Ian din expect the torch fire to be that small, that left in his memory was the bus of pple waving at him and also the policemen as he tried to tell daddy what he saw in the noon.....hhmm what actions we caught for the YOG huh
