In recognition of his contribution towards the 28th SEA GAMES 2015, Lionel and his schoolmates have each been presented with a Certificate of Contribution, together a token of appreciation with Nila, the SEA Games mascot.
The certificate and token were kept under hard cover.
Lionel took part in the 28th SEA GAMES opening ceremony and we were given tickets to watch the sneak preview on the 20 May 2015 and the actual preview on 28 May 2015.
The 20 May sneak preview were actually a Parent's Appreciation Night for YPS students which the school wanna thank the parents for all the support they gave during the practices and rehearsals.
I went for both previews and at the same time, to really take a look at the new National Stadium after its revamp.
The sneak preview:
Very nice revamption done here.
Hey, meals were provided. Very considerate. LOL! This was on a Thursday and they knew how majority of the parents rushed down after work and would not have the time for a bite.
The actual day:
Nila, the SEA Games mascot.
The SEA GAMES goodie bag.

Lionel's snippets of the performance in Act 2 - Imagination.
I did not stayed through the whole event. In fact, many people got up to leave the event right after the march pass of the altheletes. I do not know why. But for me, i did not want to be caught in the mass of crowd. I left after Act 2 and headed straight for the MRT. It was quite packed already and I can imagine the crowd would be worst later on.
Received a comment on one of my blog post (though non related to the post), inviting me to share my blog memories via:

The Singapore Memory Project (SMP) is a nationwide movement which aims to capture and document precious moments and memories related to Singapore; recollections not merely from individual Singaporeans, but also organisations, associations, companies and groups.
Launched on August 2011, this project aims to collect 5 million personal memories as well as a substantial number of published materials on Singapore by 2015. It will do so not only through its own efforts, but via partners embarking on similar collection drives.
We had a community fair this morning at the Chong Pang CC. Watching stage performance like...
Chinese Taiji.
Japan Akido.
Community singing ~ Di Tanjong Katong, Home, Xi Shui Chang Liu
We got to complete thise card with 12 stamps from different groups before attempting a chance at tikam.
Doing puzzle at the SPF booth~ Don't tempt your flatmates.
Trying our hands at Congkat.
We wanted to help out with the batik painting for Chingay 2014 preparations but...
it was all completed by the time we got to it.
Simple yet beautiful. The colours were bright & all u have to do is to spread the paint across the area u're painting on.
This was the free gift we got. Not too sure what is it used for. A table mat? Some said its a tool used for rolling up sushi...lol
The finale of the event was the lucky draw which had only 5 prizes given out. Oh! Not to mention, we had various snacks to munch on; milo, yogurt, biscuits & kacang puteh. We also played kampong games like five stones, hopscotch, chatek & marble.
