thoughts from Day -2, and my first day, at the Youth Olympic Village:
- i had always imagined how it would be like to live in the Grad Hall. now it's become reality. single room, aircon and personal toilet. some more got housekeeping. like hotel sia.
- a trip on the village shuttle bus is a mindfuck cos got so many different languages and smells.
- Western Europe and Central Asia produce the most beautiful people in the world. France, Italy, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Egypt. ah, why was i born here.
- angmoh girls always seem to look good on tv but not in person. nope i no longer believe in that.
- Uruguayans take 38 (freaking) hours to reach here.
- excuse me you guys dont look 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18.
- sports makes you hot, period.
- today i was led around a campus i know better by an angmoh IOC guy. wtf.
- the international cuisine buffet dining hall is overrated. fabian, GG lah. ok but at least there's infinite coca cola and 100plus.
- ive seen half a dozen Michael Phelps-lookalikes.
- American blacks behave like hiphop artistes, Caucasians are noisy in a group, Russians look too serious, and Italians really speak like how we think they do, hand gestures all.
- Singapore as an event organiser is not as efficient as we think. and many of the volunteers are inept. or maybe it's just NTU. fuck.
- today i made friends from Senegal, Latvia, Fiji, Mauritius, the US, Israel, Taiwan, Qatar, Canada, Thailand and the omnipresent China.
