Well, im just a simple girl, currenlty in jc2. Was reading through the e-messages on our sch's website and it happened to be advertising this competition. Of course, being practical and pragmatic (=kiasu) Singaporeans, I really want a part in this. For easy reading, I have deided to condense my views to point form.

Why join i am @ YOUTH.SG?

1. To join in the fun and test the "influence" of my posts in this new and engaging competition. (Honestly, i've never heard of such competitions before. Im still pretty amazed as to the amount of work that needs to be done to manage such a competiton =S)
2. Share my views with fellow bloggers. ( Enjoyed reading the entries by other bloggers who have taken part in this competition! ^^)
3. Needless to say, im ATTRACTED to the reward!!! I must confess, this is indeed a great incentive for me to send in my posts! =p
4. Lastly, to all bloggers who are reading this.. (and to those who have experienced Project Work), don't you think such a competition is truly meaningful for the youths to get down to blog and share relevant issues and ideas. Thus, we should ALL TAKE PART to maintain such a positive momentum (PW Favourite Topic for 2006)! Look at it this way. If the response is poor, it will be hard to continue with this= less venue where we can get to view quality blogs and meet fellow blogging enthusiasts!

What does it really mean to be a youth in Singapore?

1. You get quality education no matter which school you end up in.
2. You get to meet other youths in school, at tution centres, during CIP projects etc. ---> More friends!!! =D
3. You get to enjoy the facilities that are provided for us eg Basketball courts.
4. You get to order STUDENTS MEAL at Mcdonalds and Burger King! (Plus, you don't have to feel awkward when ordering the kids meal as those taking orders from you are often older than us. Oops. At least that's what i think.)
5. Youth park_ Just for us. Ever wondered where's the adult park? Fret not, its not too late to start playing there! Lol...
6. You don't have to worry about earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. (though you do have to be prepared of nervous breakdowns that often results in internal earthquakes during exams)
7. You can stay out shopping all night without having to care about the time and the security. At most, sleep over at bus interchange when you miss the very last bus of the night.
8. No plastic surgeries! In Singapore, everyone willl be judged by their performance and not looks--- MERITOCRACY (WOW)
9. You can get instant access to the internet at practically everywhere! Cool! (that means bloggers can blog at any place!)
10. You get to take part in so many competitions organised for youths such as Citibank-YMCA Youth for Causes and I am @ YOUTH.SG. What's more, you stand a chance to win a digital camera!

What more can you ask for than to be a youth in Singapore?

I'm lovin' it~
