Diary entry about the Youth Olympic Games

Dear Singapore

Congratulations! you have been chosen to hold the inaugural Youth Olympic Games!
I am so envious! when can i do something great like you?

You must feel so excited, with so may visitors coming over. you must be interested in making new friends. do you know where your new friends are coming from? you don't? let me tell you then! did you know that there are 205 countries sending their representatives to you? don't you feel proud!
hmm? specific countries? no problem! but not all 205 of course! some renowned countries are: australia, brazil, germany, hong kong, china, france, italy, argentina the united states of america, switzerland, and many many more!

i beg your pardon? what will i be doing? good question! as you know, i am in fencing, hence i will be helping you out in the games! you are not alone after all! i am a YOG volunteer, just like the many others!

well yes! that definitely means that i have less time with you! i am helping put fom the 13th to 18th of August, hence i will also be missing three days of school.

what i feel about all of this? well i feel that you, singapore has surpassed all odds in hosting this event. initially, do you know that you were not even considered to be a host? they felt that you were too small, and had no capability to host this event. well you certainly surpassed all odds, and showed the world what you were made of!

yes, it is getting late, and i have a long day tomorrow.

congratulations to you singapore, i will be cheering for you! i love you!

Signing off
Marcus, beloved singapore lover.
